How can I find out how much Juice I've earned?

The first step is to go to www.juicybrainspanel.com and log in (read the FAQ How do I access my account? above if you're not sure how to do this).


Main Account page - Your Juice and Your recent Juicing history highlighted

The main account screen's Your Juice (highlighted in the blue box above) section shows your current balance and your redemption (the amount you've previously cashed in).

The Your recent Juicing history (highlighted in the purple box above) section shows the two most recent transactions for your account. In the picture above these are a Prize Draw Entry (indicated by the small present icon) and a credit for being screened out of a Juicer. To see your whole Juicing History with details of all the Juice you've earned click on the button marked "Check your full Juicing history".

If you've earned more than £5 worth of Juice you can cash it in for an Amazon voucher! See How do I cash in my Juice? below for instructions.


How do I cash in my Juice?

Once you've earned £5 or more you can cash it in for an Amazon voucher.

The first step is to go to www.juicybrainspanel.com (read the FAQ How do I access my account? above if you're not sure how to do this) and log in.


Main Account page - Cash in your Juice highlighted

Select the amount you want to cash in from the drop down box (current options are £5 and £10) then click the button marked "Cash your Juice... (in £5 lots)". Assuming you have enough Juice to cash you will then be taken to a confirmation screen


Cash in your Juice confirmation page

If you want to continue click the button marked "Confirm". If you decide you want to save your Juice for another day just click on the link "If you do not wish to cash in your Juice at this time click here" which will take you back to the main account page.

Once we receive your request we will check that your account is in order, and, assuming all is well, will issue your voucher within one working day.


Can I get something instead of Amazon vouchers?

Not at the moment. We selected Amazon.co.uk as our voucher provider because we feel they offer an unrivalled service in terms of range of products and reliability. Because the vouchers can be send via email it also means we can send them to you within one working day of receiving your request.

If you have a suggestion for an alternative type of voucher you'd like us to offer please get in touch - just use the contact form below.


I cashed in my Juice a few days ago and haven't received my voucher!

We will always try to ensure that your voucher is emailed to you within two working days of receiving your request. If you haven't received it after a few of days then something has probably gone wrong - the most likely explanation is that there has been a technical problem delivering the email.

But don't worry! As soon as the voucher is issued the unique code is saved to your juice history.

Armed with your code and the following instructions from Amazon.co.uk there's nothing to stop you starting your shopping spree!

Change your password page

Your new password will be saved ready for you to use next time you log in to your account.


The Juicer link doesn't work!

Occasionally when we send you an email invitation to play a Juicer you may experience technical problems. We will be very happy to do all we can to help get you Juicing but there isn't very much we can do unless you can give us a bit of information about what is going wrong.

Before you do get in touch with us please read through the following common problems and see whether they apply to you.

When you click on a Juicer link your web browser should load up a white page with the text "Click here to start your BrainJuicer®". A second smaller window containing the Juicer should also appear.

If that doesn't happen and you get a page with the message "Page cannot be displayed" please check the following:

  • You may have lost your internet connection - check whether or not you can access any other web sites. If you can't then you need to re-connect to the internet and try the link again (you may also need to click the "refresh" button on your browser when the BrainJuicer page loads).
  • If your internet connection is definitely working we are probably experiencing a temporary problem with our servers. Please try the link again later.

If the white page appears but you cannot see the Juicer window please check the following:

  • You may have a popup blocker enabled in your browser. Even if this is the case, the "Click here to start your BrainJuicer®" link should still open the window.
  • The Juicer window has loaded but is hidden under the active window. Assuming you are using Windows you can check this by looking in the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen. In the illustration below the Juicer window is the one marked "BrainJuicer" at the top of the list. Just click on this with your mouse and the Juicer window should become visible.


Windows taskbar

Still having problems? Please let us know using the contact form giving as much detail as you can about what is going wrong.

I use AOL to connect to the internet and I'm having problems accessing Juicers. What should I do?

If you use AOL to connect to the internet and are having problems accessing Juicers, please try the following fix as advised by the AOL technical team:

Keyword: Securefix

Please go online and click on the Keyword icon on the AOL toolbar. In here type Securefix and click on Go. You will now be prompted to restart the AOL Software. Click OK and exit AOL.

Once you have completed this step you should launch AOL again and see if the problem is solved. If the problem persists, we suggest you
contact AOL technical support for further assistance.


Part of the Juicer window doesn't appear on my screen - what should I do?

A number of Juicy Brains have reported problems with part of the Juicer window disappearing off their screen as illustrated below.


Juicer window at 800x600 resolution

This will happen if your monitor runs at a resolution of 800 by 600 or lower. The reason the window is displayed over to the right to allow space for another window (which may show product images or something similar) to load next to it.

One way of resolving this problem is to increase your monitor's resolution via the Windows Control Panel. The more straight forward option is just to "drag" the Juicer window into the centre of your screen. To do this, position your mouse pointer in the blue bar at the top of the Juicer window (the area marked with a red scribble in the illustration), click and hold down the left hand mouse button then move the mouse to the left.


What does it mean when you ask me to rate my answers on a positive/negative scale?

We use positive/negative scales to determine whether you mean your answer in a good way or bad way. For example, in a previous study on Iced Tea, we asked people what comes to mind when they think of Iced Tea. The top answer was 'cold' and the average feeling on that was 'negative.' The study revealed that in Britain cold tea is considered to be a bad thing whereas in America it is considered to be a good thing. The scale allows us to gauge your 'body language' or 'speaking tones' on whether an answer is meant in a positive or negative way.

We would like you to instinctively select the point on the scale that most applies to the way your answer makes you feel.


My email address/personal details have changed. How do I update my profile?

Easy! Just log into your account at www.juicybrainspanel.com (read the FAQ How do I access my account? above if you're not sure how to do this) and log in.

From the main account screen click on the button next to the text "View or change your profile" highlighted in blue below.


Main account page - View or change your profile link highlighted

This will take you to the "Your profile" page where you should see all the information you provided to us when you originally signed up to the Juicy Brains Panel. Edit your details as necessary and click on the button marked "Click here to save your changes..." at the bottom of the screen.

If you update your email address please remember that you'll need to use the new one next time you log in to your Juicy Brains Panel account!


Can I recommend my friends / family to the Juicy Brains Panel?

Of course! Just log into your account at www.juicybrainspanel.com (read the FAQ How do I access my account? above if you're not sure how to do this) and log in.

From the main account screen click on the button next to the text "Tell us more about yourself".

Click on the text ">> Refer a friend" as shown in the image below and follow the instructions in the Juicer to enter your friends' email addresses.

For each friend that you refer and that signs up to the Juicy Brains Panel, we will credit your account with 20 pence!
