Who can join The Student Panel?

Anyone studying at a UK university or higher education institution within can join The Student Panel. You can be studying for any sort of qualification on a full- or part-time basis at undergraduate or postgraduate level. You just need a valid university email address that unless it is a known variation to us, ends in ‘ac.uk’.

Why can’t school or FE college students join?

The Student Panel is just for those studying at course at a UK university or higher education institution (HEI). If you’re currently a school or FE student you can join either The Youth Panel or The Applicant Panel.

I’m a student but we’re not given ‘ac.uk’ email addresses

Students at nearly every higher education institution in the UK use the ac.uk email address system and we depend on it to verify your student status. If you haven’t been given one, check with your IT helpdesk – you are probably eligible. If your institution does not issue ac.uk addresses or a known email address variant then we’re sorry but you won’t be able to join.

I would like to join but my institution is not listed

We have a limited amount of institutions on our list. Most are taken from the list provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) list and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) list. You won’t be able to join unless your institution is on this list. If you feel we have omitted an institution due to an oversight please let us know – email support@opinionpanel.co.uk and we will get right back to you.

How do I join The Graduate Panel?

How do I move from The Student Panel onto The Graduate Panel?

We’ll email you around the time of graduation to find out what you’re doing. Just make sure we’ve got an up-to-date email address for you in the ‘Alternative email address’ field in your profile as that’s where we’ll send your Graduate Panel registration questionnaire.

You can also transfer to The Graduate Panel from The Student Panel at any time by updating your profile via your online account and taking part in the Graduate Panel registration questionnaire there.

Earning Incentives

What will I receive for completing a survey?

We’ll post you Bonusbond gift vouchers that you can spend in a wide range of high street stores whenever you complete questionnaires.

How much are the vouchers worth?

The vouchers are normally worth £1. If a questionnaire is very long we will normally provide a larger incentive. You can find out how much a questionnaire is worth within the email invitation that we’ll send you to take part.

Where can I spend my vouchers?

Bonusbond gift vouchers can be spent at many high street shops all over the UK – Argos, Boots, Debenhams, HMV, New Look, River Island, Halfords… For a full list of stores click here

I’ve just done a questionnaire; where’s my incentive?

When you complete a questionnaire for The Youth Panel, we’ll usually give you Bonusbond gift vouchers to spend on the high street. These are sent to you by post and will usually be mailed within a few weeks of taking the survey.

How come some people win prizes as well as getting points?

Sometimes we offer a prize draw for a gift like a digital camera or a magazine subscription, as well as the usual incentives. It’s usually on projects that need a bit of an extra reward, for example if it’s a particularly tricky questionnaire. We’ll tell you about them if they crop up, but normally we just offer Bonusbond vouchers. Very occasionally we may offer a prize draw instead of a voucher (but we’ll always clearly notify you if this is the case).

Will I be sent a voucher for completing the registration questionnaire?

You don’t get a voucher for completing the registration questionnaire but for all other questionnaires you complete you will be sent Bonusbond gift vouchers.

I’ve just joined; where’s my £10?

You need to reach 25 points before you receive your voucher. Points are credited to your account which you can view whenever you log in.

How will I receive my Amazon vouchers when I have earned £25 – worth?

In the form of an electronic certificate sent to your university (ac.uk) and alternative email address. It will contain a special code that you enter when placing your order with Amazon.co.uk. Full instructions will be provided on how to use it. If the gift certificate exceeds the cost of your order you will be given credits for future orders.

How long will it take me to earn £25 worth of Amazon vouchers?

It depends on how many questionnaires you complete so it varies a lot. We make every effort to contact everyone fairly. Typically, you’ll be invited to three or four a year. But some panellists receive many more. That means a lot of panellists will need to transfer to The Graduate Panel in order to finish accumulating enough points to redeem.

What happens after I’ve reached £25?

After you’ve reached £25 and received your voucher, you can stay on the panel and keep earning points towards your next £25 voucher.

When I reach 25 points will my Amazon gift certificate be sent immediately?

After you have reached 25 points your account will go through a checking system. If all is well after your account has been checked, an Amazon gift certificate claim code worth £25 will be sent to your email address. This process can take a few days and at busy times it can take a bit longer. But if you reach 25 points and don’t receive your Amazon gift certificate claim code within the following few weeks please contact us.

After redeeming my 25 do I start again at 0 or do I have to leave the panel?

Neither! After redeeming your 25 we will give you 10 in bonus points for your loyalty so you dont ever have to start from zero.

Are you going to stop inviting me to complete surveys just before I reach 25 points?

No. We want all panellists to redeem their incentives. It creates good word of mouth for us and a good experience for panellists. We never exclude panellists from questionnaires on the basis of their points total.

Do I have to join The Graduate Panel after graduating?

No, you’re not obliged to join The Graduate Panel but obviously we can’t invite you to questionnaires about being a student if you’re no longer a student! Joining The Graduate Panel only takes a few moments, gives you the opportunity to earn a point just for transferring across (as long as you respond to our invitations in summer), and you continue to earn and redeem points. You can only redeem your points on either The Student Panel or The Graduate Panel by reaching 25 points.

How come some people win prizes as well as getting points?

Sometimes we offer a prize draw for a gift like a digital camera or an iPod, as well as the usual Amazon points.

We’ll tell you about them if they crop up, but normally we just offer Amazon points.


How do I earn points?

You earn points by taking part in questions that we’ll invite you to by email from The Graduate Panel. If you were not previously a member of The Student Panel and are joining for the first time, you’ll get 8 points for applying via on online portal, and then a further 2 points for completing The Graduate Panel registration questionnaire that we’ll email you afterwards. Each point is worth £1 in Amazon gift certificates.

What happens to the points I’ve already earned on The Student Panel?

If you were already a member of The Student Panel and are transferring to The Graduate Panel you keep all the points you’ve earned so far as a member of The Student Panel. You also keep adding to them as you complete questionnaires for The Graduate Panel.

Taking Part

Why can’t I find any questionnaires to complete on the website?

We invite you to complete questionnaires by email, not directly from the web site. This is because we have to select panellists for our questionnaires to ensure that we meet particular criteria or that we have a representative sample of the general youth population. That means not everyone is selected for every questionnaire.

Do I HAVE to take part in a survey when I am invited to do so?

No, you only complete the surveys you have the time and interest in completing. Obviously you only earn vouchers when you participate.

On average, how long do surveys take to complete?

Typically about 10 minutes – although some may be slightly longer and some may be shorter.

Why don’t I get invited to take more surveys?

We select who gets invited to each survey on the basis of meeting quotas, either due to a project requirement, or to enable representativeness such as gender, age and region. Within these requirements, selections are random, so it’s difficult to predict just how often we’ll invite you. Keep your profile up-to-date to maximise your chances of being contacted.

Why did you invite me to take a questionnaire if I then get screened out?

When we invited you, we needed responses from panellists fitting your profile, based on gender, age etc. By the time you came to complete the survey, that quota will have filled up. Some groups are very small so this can occasionally happen even if you respond quickly.

How do I know what the right answers are?

There are no right or wrong answers. Just respond truthfully.

We invite you to complete questionnaires by email, not directly from the web site. This is because we have to select panellists for our questionnaires very carefully to ensure representativeness.

Which email address will you use when inviting me to take a questionnaire?

We will usually send Questionnaire Alerts to both your supplied email addresses (your ac.uk address and an alternative address). The exception is the Registration Questionnaire which we send to your ac.uk address only – to verify your student status.

Keep your profile up-to-date to maximise your chances of being contacted.

Which email address will you use when inviting me to take a questionnaire?

Now that you’re no longer at university, we will just send Questionnaire Alerts to your ‘alternative’ address. We won’t use your ‘ac.uk’ address at all. Just make sure you keep us updated with your latest email address.

Keep your profile up-to-date to maximise your chances of being contacted.
