Please Don't Waste Your Time
by Mary , Nov 16 '09 I figured they were reputable and answered surveys for years. It took a long time to build up points worth anything. I checked less than a year ago and had over 5000 points. When I checked my account today, I found they had deducted over 5600 points effective 2008 due to survey inactivity, which I have no proof to fight.

Rewards have gotten cheap
by Ceci, Sep 28 '09 I used to be able to cash in rewards about every 6 months for something like a DVD or small appliance or a gift card to a place I actually shop. Now the best offer is an on-line only gift card. You send off for the gift card, then days later get an e-mail to confirm that you'll get it, then days later, get ANOTHER e-mail with a coupon code for your on-line store. Everything else seems to be magazines and posters. What a rip! |

it's 1910...or at least they pay like it is...
by Robert, Sep 16 '09 Want to work for pennies an hour...then have I got a site for you. Step right up and join the growing world of online survey company employment...which will not even cover the cost of running your computer. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn't. |

Now, Surveys for no incentives.
by Emily, Aug 25 '09 There overall incentive program is not that great, but now they are sending surveys for my teen to do. Instead of my one a month survey , the teen gets it. With NO points to be issued. Only a sweepstakes entry. They say that my teens opinion is important to them, must not be if only a sweepstakes entry. My teen refuses to do them, and yours should too. |

No points
by Lynn, Aug 06 '09 I have been taking surveys for 10 years. did not receive any emails from them for months. Not in spam, nowhere. Received surveys again and they took away 10000 points because I had not answered a survey in 6 months.Emailed them and they say it must have been in my spam folder. That was a lot of work for 10000 points! |

Slow in receiving surveys
by jim, Jul 06 '09 Harris is a good company. Getting them to send surveys is hit or miss. may take month, month and a half between surveys. But all in all a good respectable company.

Not a lot of surveys & no cash
by jay, Apr 20 '09 Harrispoll is very cheap with their incentives. They send about 1 survey every 2 wks. And most surveys are worth 30 points. The lowest amt to earn a reward is 800 pts. See where I'm coming from-not a good investment @ all. So, it could take a yr or more to get to the lowest rung of surveys. I'm waiting until I get to @ least the 5k level so I can cash out, get something worthwhile and opt out. I have about 1k points to go. |

Same Old Survey
by Jodi, Apr 11 '09 They keep sending me the same survey about cell phones and it is driving me up the wall. It asks the same questions every time. I don't know if they keep thinking I might change my mind about something like maybe I will buy or won't buy a new cellphone in the next six months or year or change cell phone companies or whatever. But I'm sick of it. I like doing surveys to get the Amazon reward certificates to help out with my orders on Amazon to get neat stuff I can't find anywhere else. And all the redundant questions these people ask in this survey always wanting to know my address and my cell phone number? How do I know they won't call me or send me something in the mail? You just really gotta be careful. |

AT LEAST THEY ARE HONEST
by debbie, Mar 12 '09 I would rather earn cash but although this company rewards with points, they are honest. I have been a member for years. Last Christmas I cashed in 5000 points and sure enough received the gift I requested. I still have lots of points left, about 9000. So, even though you are rewarded with points, they add up quickly and you have many choices to cash in on. GOOD COMPANY. |

Bad on the incentives
by Linda, Mar 11 '09 They have the worst survey incentives around I think. It took me 800 points just to receive a $5 Pizza Hut gift card. Hardly seems worth it. I do find some of their surveys interesting though. |

Harris Poll is great
by jenise, Dec 31 '08 I've been taking Harris Poll for almost five years now. Their award plan is great and give you the history of how many surveys you've taken and the point you are awarded. I would recommend anyone to join. The only complaint I have with them is the survey and points they offer in the end, thirty is not alot, they should change it to fifty. |

It's legitimate and fun
by Josh, Oct 16 '08 They give you 100 points for each survey, and when you get 2500 points (25 surveys) you can get a $20 Amazon.com gift card. No paypal option, but good surveys, All real and no annoying ads. |

One Of My Favorites
by T, Jul 09 '08 I really like Harris Poll Online, maybe because it's my first online poll and I've been with them a long time. It does take a while to accumulate points and the prizes can be silly, but they've added PAYPAL as an option and now my points can be turned into CASH!! |

harris
by carole, Jul 04 '08 the rewards take years to accumulate--the items offered are stupid--either you already have these things or would not want them--I kept accumulating points forever because I did not want anything offered---I wrote them and suggested more gift cards so you could get what you like--no answer! |

Is It Worth The Time?
by kelli, Jun 28 '08 There are only 2 things I can say; number one, their surveys are extremely long, redundant & boring. Number 2, can anyone believe the amount of points you must obtain & the hours you must put in to get even a small reward? I do think it's a legit company though. I am debating on whether they are worth my time. |

Points for nothing
by Charles, May 25 '08 This site has some of the longest surveys with the poorest incentives. The time itr takes to do the surveys and the rewards offered make this site a waste of my time. They do not tell you the value of a survey upfront, so you end up doing a long survey for 30 points (average points for a survey). Minimum point redemtion is at 800 ($5.00 level). Waste of time when I do their surveys through another company I get paid cash. |

Not bad website that could be better.
by Dustyn, Apr 19 '08 I receive a few surveys from Harris Poll Online a month and they are very lengthy. Surveys have unnecessary long profile questions that redundant for every survey and often seem very unnecessary. Prizes could definetly be better for the surveys that are done. I have seen the surveys I have done in the news before however. |

Actually Pays Off
by Samantha, Apr 10 '08 Harris Poll Online is the only survey company I have used that acutally pays off, in full. Twice now, I have requested prizes and they have come to me promptly, with no catches. I have won a hand-held vacuum cleaner (Dirt Devil) and a micro SD memory card. They were good, legitimate prizes with no strings attached. I do many surveys for different companies, and this is the only one to pay off with more than a $5 check after dozens of surveys. |

Sorry, but I value my time
by Patrick, Mar 06 '08 I just cashed in my points today for what will be my final $5 Target GC from Harris Poll. That cost 800 points, which is the equivalent of 8 lengthy surveys (20 minutes or so). Not to mention you don't qualify for many of the full length surveys and still wind up spending over 10 minutes for 30 points a lot of the time. It's a nice company with surveys that function well (despite several questions being repeated each and every survey) but I can't recommend it because I value my time at more than 2 dollars an hour. |

Slow Survey Invitations
by lc, Feb 23 '08 I have approximately 2000 points. Might get 1 or 2 survey invitations per month. Only because I have points built up am I continuing to wait. But after I spend them, I will not be back. |

Hands down worst paid survey incentives of legit survey companies
by Gregory, Feb 15 '08 Harris Panel is a completely legitimate survey panel that values your opinions at basically zero. As a member for more than a year, I took dozens of surveys just to squeeze a $5 Starbucks gift card out of them. 800 points equals $5 dollars and most surveys pay less than 100 points many as little as 30. Most of the time they don't tell you how many points you are going to get before you take the survey which is unfair to any panelist. If you have a lot of time to waste on your hands and want a free Frappuccino every year, then join this panel. |

I love Harris
by Dan, Jan 21 '08 Ive been a member since 2001. I take a lot of 100 point surveys but it took me 6 years to get to the 15,000 points that I have. The nice thing is I traded in 5k for a crock pot, and that leaves me with 10k which is the highest folio level still. I really enjoy Harris Poll and would reccomend it. Yes it takes a long time, but you really do get these things for free, and their shipping is fast.

Ehhhh,,,alright.
by Mike, Dec 13 '07 I've been with Harris for a long time (approximately three years.) While payout is good and surveys are plentiful, the incentives themselves are not. As another reviewer mentioned, they change their Folio selection frequently; banking your points for higher-value items is unwise unless you’re close to the required value.

rewards are unattainable
by marjorie, Oct 15 '07 The problem with Harris Poll Online is that they changed the prizes in their rewards folders before I could earn enough points to redeem the small item I wanted. And what really makes me mad here is that they also upped the number of points required for this item: from 800 (when I signed up) to 1300. I now have 1300 points, but the item was removed from their rewards folder. I joined nearly 3 years ago and have gotten nothing from them. |

Harris Poll Online is a good company
by Misty, Sep 10 '07 I've been with Harris Poll for about 3 years now, and I think they are really great. They send me plenty of surveys, and I get points for every survey I take. Then I can take my points and order stuff out of their catalogues.
