Get Paid for Fun Adventures!

Turn the things you do everyday into an adventure! iPoll is all about convenience and fun, and wants to know your thoughts on the things you do everyday, with interactive mini missions that provide rewards. You'll get a $5 bonus just for signing up, and surveys range from $0.50 to $3. If you don’t mind leaving your home, you may also complete “missions” using the phone app at specific retail locations. New Item Scavenger Hunts potentially allow you to earn from $0.50 to $100 a day.

Survey Types

iPoll offers its members the opportunity to take surveys via their website and also via their mobile apps. Their mobile apps are available on both the App Store (for iPhones) and on Google Play (for Android phones). Users who download the mobile app can expect to be contacted more frequently to participate in surveys.

Complete Surveys to Earn Points

Complete survey to earn points and get rewarded. Surveys themselves typically take between 10-15 minutes and iPoll tries to keep surveys as short as possible so they aren’t monopolizing your time.

Added App Features

Another benefit of downloading the app is getting specific assignments based on your geographic location, accepting them and earning cash right on the spot! You may be challenged to take a picture of a product, or asked to visit a specific store. The app also includes video, photo and audio capabilities for fun, interactive reporting.

Rewards

iPoll offers various rewards including cash paid via PayPal (to verified PayPal accounts only), Amazon.com e-vouchers, and Apple gift codes. Once redeemed, rewards usually take about 4 weeks to be delivered. If you are redeeming via PayPal, remember to use the same email to sign up for iPoll that you use for your PayPal account. iPoll tries to get your rewards to you quickly, but on occasion it may take up to 4 weeks to redeem your rewards.

A $25 account balance is required to redeem an Amazon.com e-voucher, or an Apple gift code. PayPal cash payments can be requested when you've completed $50 worth of surveys or assignments.

I had been with iPoll for about 2 months when suddenly my account was arbitrarily cancelled due to unstated "violation". I sent repeated emails outlining issues with surveys - all of which were either returned as "undeliverable" or not answered at all. Surveys that froze mid-progress, didn't re-direct back to iPoll (and therefore not paid) and repeated instances of my being directed back to a page to "get the mobile app" - when I was ON the mobile app! Of course, these issues began when I had accumulated over $17 in rewards. Stay away from iPoll and direct your talent and energies to sites that respect the effort you put into participating.

The most trusted survey site I have ever used. I have completed 576 surveys on this site and have cashed out at 25+ dollars many times. It is the best when it comes to steady surveys. However, it does come with it's fair share of frustrations (pros and cons below).

Pros:
-Successful cash outs with no issues. (I get my cash in my paypal almost instantly).
-They will reimburse when surveys steal your answers (usually in a few days to a week). You must describe the survey subject and give them survey ID. They usually do a full or partial reimbursement depending on the amount of time you spent on it. This also works for surveys that have an error in the middle of it and 'answers not saved', too. Sometimes they don't write back until they reimburse you, so don't fret.
-If you are a regular and are consistent, after months, they will try and help you out if you are struggling with surveys. They do this by giving you a high paying survey (which I got once and it was 20 minutes for $21.00). It could have been for a different reason or just random luck of a survey, but I am speculating. It did state 'Since you're a highly valued member'. I got paid for that survey!
-They gave me a $10 prize once.
-It can be fun sometimes.
-$0.50 for 1 minute surveys last 1-5 minutes. Very nice, especially when I answer 2 questions and it's completed.
-E-mails surveys, and if you can catch them, they are usually follow up surveys from panelists that liked your answers before. They do expire quickly though. When there are no surveys on Ipoll, I can snag another usually from e-mail.

Cons:
-No pay for 'not a match' surveys like other survey sites offer. (i.e. 2-5 cents)
-Website does go down sometimes for days at a time (far and wide though), doesn't apply to app.
-Minimum PayPal cash out is $25.00, Maximum $50.00. (Less than 25.00 would be better, like 20 or 15).
-A lot of 'not a match surveys'. (You can get kicked out after 10 minutes, but contact them and be kind about it).
-It can get repetitive on survey topics. Sometimes I feel like a robot.
-You can spend a long time on this site just getting kicked out of surveys. (Like an hour wasted with no cash to show for it). This is common.
-When they're aren't anymore surveys for you, it lasts for hours or all day long. Once it lasted me me two days.

Always read because sometimes Ipoll will list a survey that says $0.50 for 10 minutes, but the survey will say it takes 20 minutes. This isn't Ipoll's doing, it's the survey. Not all surveys will tell you the time it takes either, so Ipoll will just guess on those.

The whole "Because you are a highly valued member we are paying you extra for this survey" is 30/70. I have been paid for them (as stated earlier, they gave me a 21.00 survey). Those surveys just have very specific qualifications (I mean very, very specific). I have gotten $4.00 for one of these, too.

Most surveys that ask for your home address, will steal your answers. Avoid those (just a general survey tip). I said most because not all will, for example, surveys that need your address so you can test a product, those are usually legit but on Ipoll you don't get the follow up survey but you will get paid for the initial survey and you'll get the test item in the mail.

If Ipoll reads this:
If the minimum payout could be reduced for longtime members, that'd be great. Something like 15-20 dollars instead of 25.00.

Overall: I would recommend this site. The successful days vs unsuccessful days are somewhat equal. Successful days: when survey taking is smooth for the most part and you get a decent amount of cash if you work hard. Unsuccessful: when you work hard and get nothing or very little.

Out of all other survey sites I have used, Ipoll has been the most successful for me.

I gave it 4 stars because it can be steady at times. One star lost because of all the cons and the frustrations that come with those cons.

I was with this outfit for a few years and had managed to reach the payout threshold (£25) a couple of times. Then, when I was within £1 of qualifying for another payment they arbitrarily nixed my account. The same thing happened to my Opinion Outpost account at the same time. They are thoroughly disreputable.

I think they are incapable of being honest. Here is a quoted example of what happens with most survey invitations I get from Ipoll:

"Earn $0.50 Cash in just 10 minutes if you complete this survey"

BUT... click on the link to be taken to the survey and this is what the organization conducting it says:

"The whole survey will take about 25 minutes to complete."

Obviously Ipoll sees the survey before they send out the invitations. So they're reading that quote above which appears on the first page of the survey. But they lie to you in the invitation and say it's only a 10 minute survey. But the TRUTH is they're trying to get you to do a 25 minute survey and only pay you 50 cents!!!

This is happening on most surveys. I'd say about 70% turn out to be longer than what Ipoll claims they are and what they are paying you based on. Thankfully some of the surveys (like the example above) tell you at the start how long they are and you can quickly avoid them rather than spending way too much time for the small reward. But not all of them so far too often you get suckered into doing a survey which is twice as long as what Ipoll told you.

And the other thing I consider to be a lie is periodically then send you invitations that say Because you are a highly valued member we are paying you extra for this survey. And it will seem like a great deal... usually somewhere in the range of $2.50-$4.00 for a 10-20 minute survey. Well let me tell you... I've gotten over 30 of these and NONE ever paid. NOT ONE!!! Usually you click the invitation link and you're quickly disqualified with some excuse like the survey has already finished (even though several times I clicked the link the second after the invitation appeared in my inbox) or you don't meet the demographic requirements (even though Ipoll already has all your demographic info on file but sent you the invitation anyway.) So, over 30 of these "special" invitations and NONE ever paying makes me think they aren't even real and Ipoll is probably sending them out these invitations just to make you think you can maybe earn more with them than you really can.

And oh BTW, a friend who has also been trying Ipoll for a couple years told me she has seen these same things on her Ipoll account. So it's not just me!

I only joined 9 days ago & I'm already up to almost $8. Shouldn't be too long before I get to $25.
