Problematic and scammy
by Marty, Nov 13 '09

This seems to be a site fishing for free information.
I've done due diligence after registration and filled out the profiles required. For free.
Received an invite in my inbox and participated in survey, but no further information was forthcoming and there is no way to check whether or not participation in survey is credited to account.
I did follow-up to try to address my concerns and there was no response, so based on that in my personal experience, I wouldn't recommend this company unless you like answering polls for free.
They send invites, but you can't log onto your registered account and website says they have no record of your email, registration, or account, even though they send invites.
Not trustworthy and in my opinion, to be avoided.
There are so many other legitimate and trustworthy companies out there that this one isn't worth all the time it takes to try to un-sucessfully keep them honest.
Thumbs Down on Ipsos.

I Like Them
by Lea, Nov 07 '09

A legitimate survey company. Short prelims not surveys in disguise. Had gift certificates but now $5 cashout. Excellent customer service, always received pertinent responses to my questions not generic responses. Also, if not acceptable usually receive 1 point (10 cents). My only complaint is usual reward is 8 points (80 cents) a survey. I wish they rewarded more, then they would be perfect.

by Carol, Oct 12 '09

I have been with this company for about a year cashed out my point several times over with no problems and I noticed last month when I went to cash out it would tell me I did not have enough points when I know I did ,so I contacted customer service , they replied the next day that if I could not cash out they would do it for me , so I though I would wait and see so today I was able to ,I don't know if they were having a problem with their site and maybe they fixed it.but I do get my gift cards within a two to three week after cashing them in, this is one of my favorite survey sites.

Can't cash out online
by Stephanie, Oct 03 '09

As some others have said, the button you click to cash out does not work. Others I've talked to have the same problem. Pretty weird... Apparently you have to call the company and ask them to cash out for you since the button doesn't work. Even then, I've heard they take forever to pay you or won't pay you at all. What a hassle. I've cashed out before and have never had this issue. I'll stick with them for now, but if this continues, I'm not sure for how long. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else, though, when there are much better survey sites out there. Earth to Ipsos: fix your website!

by Matthew, Aug 09 '09

Too long to earn and nothing in the end
by Cynthia, Aug 05 '09

I found the surveys enjoyable for the most part, but incentives small. Points only, no cash. It took over a year to accumulate enough points to redeem for a $5.00 gift card, which I never received. That was June 2, 2009. Their terms state 5 weeks. I emailed to inquire on August 1, and August 4, 2009. No response at all. Very disappointing. I am staying away until I get a response and my gift card. I would not recommend this site.

Pathetic
by Mark, Aug 04 '09

I have been a member of Ipsos since June08 and since that time I saved points in my account 8-4 points per survey if you qualify for 1 point if you dont. I was finally able to get 500 points, after a YEAR, put in for a 50 dollar amazon card on June 12 2009. We are starting the second week of August and it still has yet to arrive. When I emailed I was told the vendor had problems sending out the cards and to wait another 2-3 weeks for delivery. Pay outs are non existent surveys atrocious.

waste of time
by Doug, May 20 '09

After taking a year to manage to compile 50 points for a $5 chapters gift card I finally redeemed, thinking like evey other company it would be an e-certificate. Unfortunately they send snail mail...after a couple of months of waiting and emails, I get an email telling me about delays and backorders, and how they order every 7 to 10 days and it takes 7 to 10 days to deliver the rewards, to which I responded that my order must have been missed on the original order as well as a few re orders..

not worth the time
by Sean, May 04 '09

at first i tried to take a lot of the surveys they sent me and qualified for a few. did this for a while and qualified here and there. i thought i'd qualified and completed more than my balance showed because after quite some time i only had like 9 points accumulated. decided it wasn't worth the effort because at the rate i was going, it would have taken 3 years to save up 50 points.

Payout Button Never Works
by Dale, Apr 27 '09

I have been with them for a year. Tried to redeem for a gift certificate, but the final payout button never works. I emailed them 3 times with no response. They say the button won't work if you do not have enough points. I have more than enough points. They probably want us to give up in frustration and pick one of their overpriced "Merchandise" rewards, which they get for free from their advertisers. No company is legit if they promise to pay for your time and they do not.

Something for every survey
by Sandra, Mar 24 '09

I've been a member of Ipsos for a while now. They switched to points which is better than draws. They give points for each survey. Sometimes the points aren't that high, but there's also draws for bigger prizes. It's the best of both. I'm also a VIP. I think it was because I answer most of my surveys. There's a draw for a car. That would be great to win. I like giving my opinion, so some type of payment is a bonus.

Never had any problems
by Laura, Jan 27 '09

I must be a lucky one too because I've been with this company for a couple of years and redeemed £135 worth of vouchers, which always arrive quite quickly. I really like the fact that they show your order history, and when you requested payment and when it's been mailed, so you can keep track of where it is. You can check your points total and everything else in the gift area part of the site.

Awful liars
by Chris, Jan 26 '09

I hear of people getting paid cash for completing their surveys, but all I have gotten are points, which require 50 to cash out for gift cards, and most surveys are only 4-8 points for 30 minutes of your time. Also, they like to make you take the entire survey before screening you out/disqualifying you, which has happened to me several times. I would avoid them.

Don't Think They Are Legit
by kelli, Jul 16 '08

Recently, after taking many many survey's for this company, I decided to check my account; things like money earned, survey's taken, etc. I couldn't find a way to check this anywhere on their website. I e-mailed them a few days ago and have not heard back yet. I know for sure that I qualified for and took several paying survey's for them. I am really starting to think that it is not a legit reputable company and will stay away until I get a reply in regards to my e-mail.

Not wasting any more of my time
by Patrick, Mar 07 '08

I've completed many surveys for them and never been compensated a thing for my time. They tell you there will be cash surveys occasionally but I've never been invited to one. I've decided to cut my losses and just delete their emails going forward, as they even make it difficult to cancel your membership. Stay far away from this site unless some poorly-designed flash game in which you have no control over the outcome is enough of an incentive for you to complete surveys.

No Cash
by Kenneth, Feb 19 '08

I have been with them for years and like others posted here, have never won a darn thing from them. If you want to waste your time doing the surveys and get put in some drawing, well then good luck with it. I have also had problems with their surveys at the end of the survey to play their little game they have and half the time I am unable to play the game. I email them and they always say its my fault or that I dont have the right flash loaded on my pc and I do. Always some excuse from them.

Draws And No Cash
by Jim, Jan 10 '08

I have been with survey site for about 2 years and I have never received any prizes or money yet. When you complete a survey you do a little puzzle or something that you could win instantly but I have never won instantly. Then when your done that you get ballots for a draw and there is specific prizes to spread your points out. So you add certain amount to a prize you want and when the drawing comes you cross your fingers and wait. I still haven't won anything with them in 2 years but I enjoy there surveys and I know they are legit..Good-luck.
