1250 point ($10) minimum balance required to request rewards.
Beginning March 30, 2020, Harris Poll Online USA stopped offering new survey opportunities. Existing members from the USA may redeem any existing account balances up to one year from the date points were credited to their accounts. The Canadian version of the panel is still operational.
Harris poll is one of the oldest and most prestigious polls in the world, operating for more than 45 years with a focus on the US and Canadian market. Have your say on matters that affect you and see the results from the surveys you complete. You can compare experiences, opinions and more to people who are both like and unlike you. Occasionally, the studies you contribute to will be published in national and international media outlets. The Harris Poll is a member of the National Council of Public Polls (NCPP), the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO), the Council for Marketing and Opinion Research (CMOR), and the European Society for Opinion & Marketing Research (ESOMAR).
Electronic Rewards
Harris Poll offers their members the opportunity to earn points, known as HIpoints in exchange for their participation. Once you earn 1250 points (worth $10), you can request an e-gift voucher from places like Amazon, iTunes, Starbucks, Walmart, ESPN, and more. You may also be entered into sweepstakes after each completed survey for even more chances of winning big.
Get Disqualified, But Still Have a Chance to Win!
If you attempt to complete a survey, but are disqualified in the process, you will receive an entry into the Harris Panel Sweepstakes. You will be also be offered the opportunity to try qualifying for other available surveys.
Survey Lengths
Online surveys typically take anywhere between 5-25 minutes to complete. Short surveys will take around 5 minutes, and very long ones are around 25 minutes. These reasonable survey lengths will keep your attention and prevent you from getting bored too quickly! There are special surveys on offer as well including special focus groups, telephone based surveys, and even surveys about independently downloaded software. Common survey topics, however, range from fashion to movies to shopping habits.
Participate Often
Expect to receive between 3-5 online surveys a month.
Earn Points
Even if you are disqualified from completing a survey, expect to receive around 15 HIpoints! The amount of points you get per survey varies depending on the length or complexity of the survey.
Download the App!
Harris Poll now has an app, available on iOS and Android. The mobile apps will require you to login with your Harris credentials. Using the app allows you to see survey opportunities, take surveys, participate in special research programs and access your rewards. Turn on your notification settings for the app to receive new survey opportunities in real time.
Cashing Out
After you have reached 1250 points, you are able to redeem your HIpoints for e-cards and gift vouchers. Most people who participate, reach this threshold after completing around 10 surveys. Rewards include e-cards or gift vouchers from Amazon, iTunes, Starbucks and more.
Rewards Processing Times
Redeem your rewards and receive them within 15 business days. They will be sent to your e-mail account. Most rewards will be credited to your account within 10 minutes of your participation, but occasionally it may take as long as 24 hours for the credit to appear in your account. If you are redeeming your HIpoints, you will receive your e-code within 24-48 hours of cashing in your HIpoints. If you have cashed in for physical merchandise, you will receive your merchandise via USPS within 7-14 business days. All costs of rewards (including shipping and handling) are covered by Harris Poll, unless you are redeeming products using an e-certificate.
Chances to Win $10,000 Every Quarter
HarrisPoll gives away a $10,000 USD prize every quarter to one lucky winner in their Histakes - the Harris Poll Online Sweepstakes. You earn an entry if you have been disqualified for surveys, as well as for actions like participating in short surveys that may not award points. Winners names are published on the HIstakes winners page and this list is kept up to date.
Eligibility: Canadian residents, 13+.

Maybe I am a "desired demographic" (male now in his early 40s); but, Harris Polls online has always been good for me: I rarely take a survey longer than 15 minutes and quickly receive 15 points for non-qualifying surveys. When I have time to devote to it, I consistently earn $10 gift cards on Harris Poll Online faster than my other survey companies. The only drawback I perceive is cash is not an option and giftcard options are somewhat limited; but, it's always been good for me and available surveys seem to have increased in the past year.

I have tried for three months to get them to fix their "reward" site--I can not access my account to redeem my awards. They have to know that is does not work. I have even written their home office and did not get a response. I feel like they are not very ethical.

Good site and the results have meaning. Your results are combined with others and the product(s) know what its customers think.

Another long-time member who is not thrilled with them, BUT I do like the points for screening out and if you check their site often you get more surveys. Hourly payout is low though.

2/17/2015 I have down graded my rating for two reasons. They used to award points for screening out, that is very rare now. Whether it be Firefox or Safari, I get to technical errors that abort the survey about half the time I attempt to take one. 12/2013 I read a bunch of the comments that did not like them compared to what they were. I must now agree as the number of survey offers has dropped and rewards declined, so I reduced my rating :( 4/2012 I have been with them over ten years. The old reward system I believe was called You Give. It had very little that I wanted. Now you can get Amazon. com cards. A $20.00 card is 2400 points. Completed surveys pay 50 to 250 points, average 100 about $.85 each. Every unqualified survey is worth 15 points. Now days everybody partners with everyone else. If I keep my email notifications and click on the take survey button I can get up to three surveys a day, many with partners reviewed on Survey Police. I will get more bottom line money through gift cards with Harris than any other partnering site except for maybe my other favorite, Opinion Outpost. They say it can take three weeks to get your reward (it used to be much quicker). They mean it and you often have to send in a query after three weeks, but then they are very prompt about getting your reward to you, within 24 hours.
