GreenPanthera is one of the many online survey sites that claim you can easily earn some extra money as a member.
I have tested them and been a member for several years now and know all the ins and outs of the site.
So is Green Panthera legit and really a survey site worth joining or a waste of time?
In this Green Panthera review you will get all the details. You will learn all the pros and cons (because it definitely has both), you will get tips and advice, some warnings and in general you will learn exactly what GreenPanthera offers so that you know exactly what to expect.
By the end of this review you will know if this is a site you want to spend your time on or not.
What is GreenPanthera, and what does it offer?
GreenPanthera.com is first and foremost a paid survey site where you can get paid to give your opinion on various topics. But it also offers a few other ways to make money.
First of all, let me say that I have been paid many times myself, so I know it is legitimate. But I have also received a lot of feedback which shows that it is not a site for everyone.
So let’s start by going through the earning opportunities Green Panthera offers and how good they are, so you can see if it’s a site for you or not.
Option 1 – GreenPanthera surveys:
Green Panthera is, as mentioned, first and foremost a paid survey site and this is the main way to make money on the site.
There are usually several paid surveys available every day. You will receive an email each time a new survey is available, so you do not need to log in to the site to check.
However, you may want to log in from time to time as some of the other earning methods are only available on the platform itself (I will get to those below) and you can also get an overview of the available surveys in the member’s area.
But you have to be aware that it takes a bit of patience to find the surveys that are actually available – more or less all survey sites will have surveys that you do not qualify for or that are not available, but this happens more often on Green Panthera than on the top paying survey sites.
So if you want to earn from surveys on Green Panthera, you need to be patient and not give up even if you get emails with dead links or invitations to surveys that are closed. But with a little patience you can get access to a lot of surveys.
Option 2 – Offer wall:
In addition to surveys, Green Panthera also has an offer wall with paid offers. For example, you can get a reward for downloading a certain app or game to your mobile phone, registering for a website and similar offers.
You can find some nice offers here with great rewards, but be sure to read all the terms and conditions before you accept any of these offers, as sometimes you may be required to play a game for a certain amount of time, be contacted by an advertiser, and so on. So make sure you know what you have to do to get the reward.
You can also find more surveys on the offers wall. Compared to many other survey sites, Green Panthera does not have the largest selection of paid offers, but you can still find some good ones.
Option 3 – Online shopping:
If you like to shop online, Green Panthera has a partnership with a number of online shops.
This is not so much a way to make money, but a way to save money. If you shop at one of the online shops, you will get a discount. So if you like shopping online, this can be a way to save a little extra money.
Examples of Green Panthera’s online shopping offers.Although the selection of shops on Green Panthera is quite large, it is mainly shops for people who live in the USA, Canada or the UK.Also, if you want to save money when shopping online, in my experience a site like Swagbucks offers much better cashback deals and bigger discounts.
But if you are a member of Green Panthera, the shopping section is definitely worth checking out, as it can be a way to save money on things you buy anyway.
Option 4 – Coupons:
At Green Panthera you can also find vouchers to save money.
At least that is what it says on the website. I have not had any coupons available to me, but that may be because of the country I live in, so it may be different for you. But don’t expect too many of them.
How does Green Panthera pay?
When you complete a survey or offer at GreenPanthera.com, you earn dollars that you can withdraw using PayPal, which is a great and easy way to get paid.
Most surveys pay $0.75-$1 and on average surveys take between 5-15 minutes to complete. Once you have completed a survey, be aware that you will not see the money in your Green Panthera account immediately. They write that you will be able to see the money after 1-2 days. However, in my experience it usually takes 3-5 days.
In some cases it can also take longer for the surveys to be approved, so if you do not see the money on your account within a few days, just be patient.
Note that you need a PayPal account to register with Green Panthera. In the form you have to fill in when you join, there is a field called “PayPal account”. Here you have to enter the email address you use for PayPal. It took me a while to figure out what to put in this field, so now you know :-).
When you request a payout to your PayPal account, it can take up to two weeks to get the money in your account, but in my experience it usually happens quicker.
You cannot cash out until you have earned $30, which is a high payout threshold compared to many other sites. There are PayPal survey sites with a much lower threshold, and at Green Panthera it can take a bit of patience to get to the threshold. But it is definitely possible and I have done it several times myself.
You get a $2 bonus just for signing up, which is a great start and a really good sign up bonus for a survey site. It used to be $5, but they have lowered it quite a bit, but it is still higher than what many other survey sites offer.
How much money can you make on GreenPanthera?
Most surveys you are offered will take 5-15 minutes to complete. The reward you get for completing them is usually pretty good in relation to the time you spend on each survey. They send you an email every time there is an available survey, so you do not have to log in to check the site.
You just have to be aware that you may have to spend time clicking on links to surveys that are not available anyway, as I mentioned above. Fortunately, it only takes a few seconds to check, but it can be very annoying and frustrating, so you have to be patient.
As with all my other reviews of paid survey sites, I would like to emphasise that this is not going to make you rich or provide you with a full-time income.
I mention this again because if this is what you want, you will probably be disappointed, and then you will not do the surveys, and then you will not make any money.
Can you use GreenPanthera on mobile?
Personally, I prefer survey sites that are available on mobile as it makes it easy to earn on the go.
In theory, you can use Green Panthera on your mobile phone. However, there is no Green Panthera app that you can download, but you can log in to the website on your mobile.
The website itself is not very well optimised for mobile phones, so you have to zoom in and out to navigate on smaller screens. Fortunately, you will still receive invitations by email, and you can simply click on the links here and take the surveys on any device.
So you can take Green Panthera surveys on your mobile, but the website itself is not very convenient to use on mobile in my opinion.
Complaints about GreenPanthera
Personally, I have had no problems with Green Panthera, it has worked well for me and I have been paid by the platform on several occasions (you can see an example of my earnings in the video at the beginning of this review). It does take a little more patience to find the survey you qualify for than the top paying survey sites, but I have had no other problems.
However, after initially posting my review of Green Panthera, I received several messages from people who had different experiences and complained about various aspects of Green Panthera.
So I have now updated this review and included this part here so that you can also get an idea of what other people’s experiences are, and I have included these complaints in my overall rating of Green Panthera.
I have received a number of complaints from people whose accounts were locked before they were able to cash out, and then they were unable to get any helpful answers from Green Panthera’s support team.
I have never had any problems with withdrawing or being suspended myself, but it seems that some people have tried. I cannot say what the reason is as I have not been given this information.
The most common complaint I have heard is that it takes a lot of patience to get a response from support. As you can see in the comments below, some people even report never hearing back.
I have contacted Green Panthera’s support a few times myself and have always received a quick reply. I asked them about the comments about people not getting a response. I was told that if you do not get an answer it is best to write again.
From the comments I have received below this review, it seems that this does not always help. But if you need support and do not get a reply, try writing again. And do it in a proper tone as they tend to ban people if they get abusive in their language.
Overall, it seems that not everyone has had the same positive experience with Green Panthera as I have, and it is worth considering this before joining.
But I would like to emphasise that I have never had any problems with Green Panthera and I have always been paid without any problems. But if you find out that you do not want to join, luckily there are many other survey sites that you can join instead.
Who can join?
You can participate in Green Panthera from many different countries and in many different languages. In the picture below you can see exactly which countries you can participate from.
Please note that you cannot participate if you are not in the country where you are registered as a resident. So you cannot participate if you are travelling.
You can join Green Panthera from many different countries.You must be 18 years old to join Green Panthera.As you can see, you can join from many different countries and this has expanded since I first joined, which is great. In many countries you can even choose to have the platform in your local language.
As mentioned earlier, there are a few earning options (like the cash back offers) that are only available in Green Panthera UK, Canada and the USA, but otherwise you can use all the other earning options in all the countries you can see above.
No matter which country you join from, your account earnings will be displayed in dollars.
Final verdict – Worth it?
Green Panthera has both good and some not so good aspects, but it is not a scam and you can actually earn some extra money if you are patient enough to reach the payout threshold. I know this because I have been paid several times by the site.
