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.

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

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.

Dishonest Firm

June 25, 2019 by Heidi from United States

iPoll and sister company SurveySpot will shut down your account and confiscate your earnings by claiming that you failed their quality checks. So if you're a FAST reader but accurate, beware. (iPoll/SurveySpot time the surveys and assume that each should take a certain amount of time to complete.) Fast readers and typists will eventually join their "hit list" and have their earnings taken. There's no rejoinder or recourse. "Guilty before proven innocent" is how they operate, so beware.

Survey Theft

June 13, 2019 by sawyer from United States

The problem that's referred to as survey theft has been getting worse and worse over the past couple years to the point that it's no longer worth the time and effort to continue with iPoll. It started out being just a few surveys a month where you'd go through the whole survey answering ALL of the questions (not just the demographic ones but ALL of them on the survey topic as well) only to get transferred back to iPoll at the very end and be told that you didn't qualify for the survey. It seems clear to me this is happening so someone can get survey results without actually paying you for them. What initially began as just a few per month then became a few per week. Unfortunately, reporting the instances to iPoll is also a waste of time as you will either get no response at all or get a generic cut-and-paste excuse of how it must be your fault and no offer to help even when you've provided evidence to back up what you're telling them. So, instead of iPoll doing anything to help reduce the problem, this year it has literally become a few per day. That is not an exaggeration. I just had this happen on 3 surveys already today: a 25 minute one, a 20 minute one, and a 15 minute one. So, I wasted an entire hour of my life. And it's now happening regularly. This wasn't a one-off thing. I wouldn't have bothered coming here and writing this review if that were the case. It's gotten so bad that wasting 30-60 minutes per day FULLY completing surveys only to be told you didn't qualify is common. And. again, this NOT being told you didn't qualify after only filling out the demographic/classification questions. I'm talking about surveys where you've gone on to provide 100+ responses on the actual topic. Furthermore, before anybody thinks this may be happening because I'm rushing through surveys and giving useless responses, that is definitely NOT the situation. The main reason I do surveys is because I genuinely believe that both product quality and quality of service keeps deteriorating and I want to try and improve the situation with helpful feedback and input. So, I give legitimate answers and am not just randomly clicking and giving nonsense answers. Lastly, I'm obviously not doing it for the money since the typical payout on iPoll is 50 cents for 10 minute surveys, $1.00 for 15-20, $1.50 for 20-25, and the rare survey which pays $2 or more. Calculate out the hourly rate and it is WAY WAY below minimum wage. Taking surveys is definitely not worth your time if you're only doing it for the money! But, even if the money is secondary, nobody wants to feel like they're being lied to or cheated. And, unfortunately, that's what I now feel like on practically a daily basis with iPoll. I have to strongly recommend against them due to this frequent, ongoing problem.

They never respond

May 25, 2019 by CONRAD from United Kingdom

I have been doing surveys for Ipoll for many years and they send frequent emails which I attempt. A month ago I tried to log in to check my points. I was told I could not log in from my country and I should re-register. I was not able to do this, so I asked for help, several times. I never get a reply.

Ipoll Surveys

March 21, 2019 by Francine from United States

I completed my surveys , as everyone knows if you do these surveys it takes a lot of your time to get to $ 25. Anyways I had $26.00 in my Ipoll account. I go to cash in to redeem my Amazon gift card . A message appears & says an error occurred, bringing my Ipoll account to $0. I immediately phoned Ipoll just to hear all of their representatives are busy. Yes , I am sure they all are busy. Busy ripping surveyers off. I am using my smartphone, & all throughout " never" needing to sign in or out , since doing it from my phone. All of a sudden my sign in will " not " allow me to sign in. And Ipoll took my money. It stated , I should check my email to reset password. Guess what did it three time's & no email was sent to reset a password that I know very well. Ipoll give me my money that you owe me for my time. I will " NEVER " do another Ipoll survey or recommend Ipoll to anyone. Ipoll is a JOKE & RIP-OFF
