Curion reserves the right to discontinue Curion Rewards Points and may modify these Terms at any time. To accumulate and retain Curion Rewards Points, your account must remain active and in good standing, without suspension.
Old Policy (Prior to March 1, 2025)
Previously, Curion Rewards points expired after 6 months of inactivity. Curion Rewards Points expire on January 1st and July 1st of each year if no participation, or attempt at participation, is made in the prior 6 months. Participation is defined as attempting to qualify for a study by completing or attempting to complete an online screener.
Current Policy (Starting March 1, 2025):
We've updated our rewards program to give you more time to use your points! Now, your Curion Rewards points will expire after 12 months of inactivity.
How Point Expiration Works:
- Points are valid for 12 months from the month they are earned.
- Points expire on a rolling monthly basis. For example:
- Points earned in January 2024 will expire at the end of January 2025.
- Points earned in February 2024 will expire at the end of February 2025.
How to Keep Your Points Active: To prevent your points from expiring, stay engaged with Curion! Participating in any of the following activities will reset the inactivity clock and keep your points active:
- Completing a poll
- Participating in a screener survey

- Curion Rewards Points cannot be resold or otherwise transferred.
- Curion Rewards Points cannot be combined or merged with Curion Rewards Points in another account.

Fraud and Account Integrity:
- Unauthorized or fraudulent use, resale or distribution of Curion Rewards Points is prohibited.
- Curion reserves the right to cancel, revoke or otherwise prevent the issuance of Curion Rewards Points in cases of mistake and in any suspected case of unauthorized or fraudulent use.
- In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if your account is not maintained with current information, it is a violation of these Terms, and you may forfeit any Curion Rewards Points in your account.
Redemption and Value:
- All redemptions of Curion Rewards Points are final, and Curion does not offer refunds for any Curion Rewards Points redeemed for the acquisition of digital prepaid gift cards or donated to charity, except as required by applicable law.
- Curion Rewards Points are not redeemable or exchangeable for currency, monetary value, or convertible for other virtual currency from Curion or any other third party.

Promotional Offers:
- The promotional offer of 25 Curion Rewards Points for completing a screener survey and 100 Curion Rewards Points for completing the activation survey after signing up for the Curion Consumer Panel for the first time is available for accumulation from October 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, and is subject to change.

Abuse of the Rewards System: Our reward system is designed to compensate panelists for their time and participation. Any attempt to manipulate or exploit this system is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate suspension. Examples include:
- Creating multiple accounts: Each panelist is permitted only one account. Creating multiple accounts to earn additional rewards is a violation of our terms and will lead to the suspension of all associated accounts.
- Providing false information: Submitting inaccurate or misleading information during registration or within studies, including demographic data or product usage history, is a serious breach of trust and will result in suspension.
- Attempting to "game" the system: Any attempt to manipulate the reward system, such as using bots or other automated methods to complete surveys or studies, is strictly forbidden.
- Sharing or selling login credentials: Panelist login credentials are unique to each individual and should not be shared with others. Sharing or selling these credentials is a violation of our terms and will result in account suspension.
- Fraudulent activity: Any attempt to claim rewards for studies not completed or for participation not genuinely rendered will be considered fraudulent activity and will result in immediate and permanent suspension.
