ZoomPanel, at www.ZoomPanel.com, is one of SurveyMonkey’s new paid survey programs that allow you to earn points just for giving your opinions about existing products and testing new products before anyone else.
ZoomPanel claims that you can earn up to 250 reward points per survey you successfully complete, and that these points can be rewards for various rewards like music, electronics, online gift cards, and more.
It is free to sign up to take surveys through ZoomPanel, but you must provide all your contact information, including mailing address and email address. This information must be accurate in order to ensure your rewards successfully get to you.
How Does It Work?
As you successfully complete surveys and product panels, you will be awarded a certain number of points depending on the project. As you accumulate points, you will be able to visit the reward center and how many points you will need to earn certain rewards.
You can search the rewards either by number of points that you have collected, or through the category of prize that you are interested in potentially finding a prize. These categories include items from Home & Garden to Health & Beauty to Accessories to Electronics.
Once you choose the prize you’d like to receive, simply click the Redeem Points button below the prize description and then click Confirm. Once you confirm your order, it will take 4-6 weeks for your prize to be delivered to you, unless you order a virtual gift card. Those will be emailed to you within 48 hours.
What You Should Know
As long as your account remains active with ZoomPanel, you can maintain your points, even if you take a break from actually completing surveys. In order to keep an active account, you must sign in at least once a month. If your account is inactive for 3 months, it will be deactivated and your points will be lost.
Also, if you do decide to participate in any of the product panels, make sure that you understand the rules of the panel. Often times you’ll be given a product to try, but if you do not return it in a certain time period, you’ll be charged.
Finally, as with all paid survey opportunities, it is always best to sign up with a variety of legitimate companies so that you can maximize the number of surveys you are receiving. You will not qualify for every survey that is sent to you, and you will not always be sent surveys, so it’s best to have many options.

Not all people get their changed reward, which is only a $25 Amazon Gift Card. Go elsewhere.
I have 15,205 points and want to get out. They are ONLY offering $25 Amazon Gift Cards (see below). Trying to get this clarified, they are part of Citrix.com and I may go to FCC I am so livid. Been a member since 2006 when it was Zoomerang, before being bought out, and they offered lots of things. Now no merchandise WHATSOEVER. All that hard work over the years wasted. I am furious.

Hi,
Thanks for participating in our studies. Currently we only offer $25 Amazon gift cards because there is a wider selection of items on their website. Amazon gift cards are physical cards sent by mail that should arrive within four (4) weeks of redemption. You can redeem a gift card by clicking on “My Points”, select “Display Rewards” in your account, and then select the green button. In order to redeem a reward, you must have 2,500 points or more. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Best,
Emily

I finally was able to redeem an Amazon gift card in early December. As of today, after sending several Emails, all ignored, I am still waiting for the card.
Stay away from Zoom panel surveys. They are unreliable and a waste of your time.
