Complete Your Profile for Better Surveys: Maximise Your Earnings

The entire process takes less than 5 minutes. You’ll need to fill in your first name, last name, display name, email address, state/territory, and gender. Uploading a profile picture is optional but recommended. Once saved, your demographic data is automatically passed to survey providers, meaning you can start earning CompBux, spins, and guessing entries immediately.

No, screenouts are a normal part of survey research and cannot be eliminated entirely. However, a complete and accurate profile significantly reduces how often you’re screened out. Surveys have specific quotas — for example, a study might need exactly 200 males aged 25–34 in Sydney. Once that quota fills, even perfectly matched respondents get screened out. The key difference is that a complete profile ensures you’re at least eligible for more surveys in the first place.

Each completed survey earns you 150–200 CompBux (worth $1.50–$2.00 AUD), plus 5 Spin & Win entries and 5 guessing game entries. With approximately 6–8 surveys available at any time, active members can earn around 1,000 CompBux per day ($10 value). That translates to roughly $300 per month in gift cards redeemable at 100+ Australian retailers including Woolworths, Coles, Amazon Australia, Kmart, BP, eBay, and JB Hi-Fi. On top of that, your spins could win prizes up to $100 in gift cards, and your guessing entries give you shots at up to $50 cash daily.

Yes. Competitions.com.au uses SSL encryption to protect all data transmissions. Your personal details (name, email) are used for account management and gift card redemptions only. When your demographic data is shared with survey providers like Lucid and Dynata, it’s transmitted via secure, encrypted parameters. Your full name and email are never shared with survey clients — only anonymised demographic data (age range, gender, location) is used for survey matching.

We recommend reviewing your profile at least every 3 months, or whenever you experience a major life change. If you’ve moved to a different state or territory, changed your email address, or updated your name, make those changes immediately. Even small updates like ensuring your location is still accurate can open up new geographically targeted surveys that weren’t available to you before.

Providing false information creates multiple problems. First, you’ll be matched with surveys that don’t fit your real demographics, leading to more screenouts and wasted time. Second, survey platforms track consistency — if your profile says one thing but your survey answers say another, your account may be flagged and your survey availability reduced. Third, at redemption time (when converting CompBux to gift cards), account verification may fail if your details don’t match. Always provide truthful, accurate information for the best experience.

You can technically start taking surveys with a basic profile (first name, last name, email, and state are set during registration). However, completing all fields — especially gender and ensuring your location is correct — dramatically improves your match rate. Members with complete profiles consistently receive more survey opportunities and experience fewer screenouts. It takes less than 5 minutes and can potentially double your available survey pool.
