What Profile Information Is Collected From Me?
Upon registration, we’ll collect your contact details including name, email, and a bit of information about you. In subsequent surveys, we’ll ask for some additional demographic information on items such as income, education, household composition and a few others. Collecting this information will help us ensure we have a wide range of members that represent the true American population, and enable us to invite you to surveys that matter most to you.

Surveys
How Often Will I Receive Survey Invitations?
How Can I Find Surveys?
If you are invited to participate in a survey, we will always send you an invitation via email. You can also check to see which surveys you’ve been invited to by logging into your account on angusreidforum.com and navigating to the ‘My Surveys’ area on your member dashboard.
How Do You Decide What To Award For Each Survey?

I Clicked On A Survey Link From My Email Invitation, But Cannot Connect To The Survey. What Should I Do?
It is possible that the link is spread across two or more lines of email. Try copying and pasting the full link into your browser’s address bar.
I'm Having Trouble/Technical Difficulties Taking A Survey. What Should I Do?
Please contact support@angusreidusa.com and provide details on what you are having difficulties with. Our support team will respond as soon as possible to assist you.
Why Do Some Surveys End Early, Or I'm Not Allowed To Complete Them?
Some surveys are looking for specific types of people with certain characteristics. Other times, we’ve reached the maximum number of participants within a certain demographic, which helps ensure we have representative answers. Even if you do not qualify to continue on in a survey, we still appreciate your effort. In some cases, a partial point credit may be awarded.
Points
How Do Points Work?
All active members will obtain an Angus Reid Forum USA points account in which you will be eligible to earn points from completing surveys. Each time you complete a longer “paid” survey your account will be updated and credited. The number of points received for each survey may vary and will be announced prior to each survey.
How Can I Check My Points Balance?
To check your points balance, login to your account at angusreidusa.com and navigate to the ‘My Points’ area on your dashboard.
How Can I Redeem My Points?
When your account reaches the point equivalent of $25 (i.e. 2500 points) you may redeem your points. Redeeming points in amounts less than $25 is not permitted.
Do My Points Expire?
Points never expire as long as you remain an active member and the program continues. However, if you unsubscribe or your membership is terminated, your points are forfeited.
