The surveys got gradually less rewarding over time (about 2 years). Then the invitations stopped altogether for two months. Beware! Apparently, the accrued points will be forfeited after not even six weeks of "inactivity," even if it is clearly ipsos' and not the survey taker's doing! Plus, it takes forever to accrue enough points for a worthwhile reward. Getting ready to report them to other agencies as well.

First off, it took me about 2 months of research before I signed up for online surveys. I've seen mixed reviews on this company (52.3%)here. Ok, so I've been only a member for about a week (4 of 5 for now). I get about 10 survey opps a day. I've only responded to 5 so far and qualified for all. My last survey and I was asked to try a product at home. 200 for the survey and a free pair of "name brand" gel insoles. However, I have not attempted to cash out. I think with the mixed reviews, I'll cash out at the minimum and go from there. This opinion could change soon. Keep ya posted.

I have been with them for five years and received a total of 12 payments. Takes about one to two weeks for rewards to come through which is better than some. They also give five points in many cases even when they reject you. I do get rejected more often than I would like but to minimise the time wasted I only do short surveys. They do prize only surveys but I don't do those and cannot understand people moaning about them. If you don't like them don't do them. You get rewards point added to your account for the number of surveys you do (14 months 325 points) Ten points are worth about 7p. Once they sent a payment to me twice by mistake and said to keep it. That was a ten pound Amazon voucher for free.

Most of the incentives that I got were for sweepstakes entries... pass. I unsubscribed. When I take one of their surveys through a partnering site, after I am redirected I run into a lot of technical issues with the survey itself and often have to abandon it due to errors and display problems. Some of their partners offering their surveys provide much better incentives.

At first, despite not necessarily paying great they still paid me my first $15 paypal. I got up to $10 again and one day I was not allowed to log into the site. They said my responses failed their "quality check" and I'm not what their clients were looking for. I'm no noob to surveys and I really thought that is what the screener questions were for unless survey land has suddenly changed. Seems to me like they were more interested in not having to send me another payment.

Company always pays. Paypal is a little slow, but Amazon is INSTANT. They have had some glitches with surveys lately and its been a bit tough but its a good company and even though customer service feels overwhelmed sometimes they take 2 weeks to respond and sometimes 2 days,but they try hard and are really nice.

Isay is a reputable company, always pays. The surveys pay a little lower than most but they offer some loyalty rewards too and i think this company is pretty good.

I have belonged to this site for several years now and finally accrued enough for a $20 Amazon gift card.
Recently, the site has changed. They advertise point values for the surveys, but you'll wind up spending the majority of your time answering questions only to find out that you don't 'qualify' for the survey. It's the same questions over and over.
The nominal points they give you (usually 5) are hardly worth the time you spend trying to qualify for the survey. At the rate they award points, it literally takes years to achieve anything of value.

Perhaps all you bashers have an idea on which company offers the best options. Which are are legits and not all bull like some of you want to say. Yes some surveys say come back in 10 minutes and 4 days after, still says the same thing. Ever heard of technical problems people???

I have been on this site for 2 years and recently I have had problems. The reason for this review is that recently I was invited to participate in a alcohol diary and had to submit daily to which I did, well we are 4 days out to finishing and getting rewarded the 300 points promised and when I tried to get back into the survey it says I need to come back after 10 min. I have done everything possible and nothing!! They will not answer my emails and there customer services is an answering machine.. DO NOT USE THIS SITE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I completed a survey for 45 points on December 14th of 2012. I save all of my invite emails, to make sure that I'm credited. When the 45 points for this survey didn't turn up, I contacted their customer service. They immediately responded that they could see that the survey was completed, and that the points would be delivered shortly. They never were. I saved that email. After a month or so, I replied to it, asking where the points were. They asked for the survey number and the date, apparently assuming that I wouldn't have that information. I did. When I replied with the info, they took 2 weeks to respond, saying that they were "investigating". I responded by asking what there was to investigate, since I'd already shown them their own email admitting the error and promising the points to me. I finally got them on March 13th. Now, every survey I get gives me an error message. They're being childish over a matter that was their own error. I'm finished with them.

Once a good panel now owned by OTX it is no longer worth the effort. OTX is the biggest scam on the net. THey get the demographics, use you for 20 minutes and disqualify you. Payments take forever. Paypal takes 8 weeks where ofther companies pay by paypal in less than an hour. IN SHORT FORGET THIS SCAM OF A PANEL

I was doing a survey this morning and in the middle of it the phone rang. Came back to find: "Due to the programming features of this survey, once you exit the link you may return to continue only after 10 minutes." Clicked on original link in email and got same thing. This survey was trying to cover everything from animals to dentures and other personal questions, with only a "chance to win 2500 points and play poll predictor." Waste of time. I used to be a member of Synovate and cashed in on a regular basis. Since Ipsos took over have been sitting at 951 points forever. Like others on some reviews, I had registration/deactivation problem and the rep was very rude. Think her name is Janis or Jane. I really don't know why I bothered to rejoin, very disappointed. They are one of the largest in the world, perhaps they are too big now.

This site has always been good to me. There's pros and cons but the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. Here it is: This site offers CASH to your Paypal account or amazon card (and newly) visa gift cards. You only need $15.00 to cash out for Paypal. I NEVER had a problem with this survey site. And if I ever have contacted them, they've responded that day or the next at most! The rewards for each survey range from: .45 cents to $3.00 bucks. For each survey you take and/or qualify for, you get entered into a sweepstakes. You also enter another chance to win more cash after each survey by playing their poll predictor game. And, some members may not even know this because it seems to be discrete on the website, but you earn points for just responding to a certain amount of surveys! It's a loyalty program. For responding to 10 surveys, you get an extra 50 cents. 25 surveys, $1. ETC. And, when you don't qualify, you get 5 cents.

If you want to work for $2 an hour you will love this company! Still waiting for my $15 paypal reward after several weeks. AVOID at all costs.

I had an account with Ipsos. I cant login to my account, contacted them 5 times get no response.Do ineed to contact the Better Business Bureau? People are being taken advantage by online surveys, and there needs to have action taken.

I too had my account suspended for no apparent reason.
From what I have seen this panel offers the smallest and cheapest so called incentives of any I have seen. That, while insulting their participants with bogus account suspensions. Avoid at all costs !

I did not have to wait long for payment either time through PayPal. About a week and that blows away the wait time for others.

this survey site is legit so far i've had £30 worth of vouchers and i only signed up in september time!

I had the virus problem on the game as well, but thankfully my security program blocked the virus. I won't play the bonus game anymore. Surveys are good, customer service response time OK, I would still recommend them.

i signed up with this company a few months ago. everything was going along fine until i realized that this was the same company who i signed up with as a panelist for digital connections 2 years ago. i still have the original email that they sent me that clearly states that i would get 15000 points for signing up and 10000 points for each additional month that i was participating in the program. i never got any of these points so i recently contacted the company to find out when i would get them. i have been dealing with 'amy' for the last several weeks. today she sent me an email stating that they never told me that i would get any points for participating in this program. so i sent her a copy of the exact email that ipsos sent to me and said that either the original email was lying or her email wasn't true. she keeps asking me if i ever got some voucher. i have told her repeatedly that i never got any voucher for anything. i am rather ticked off at the moment.

I get at least 3-5 surveys a week from them, but most of the time they're filled up or no match for me. They even resolve my issue with my points since I had over 25,000 points before I was accidentally unsubscribed. Support is really slow to respond, but at least they answered my emails.

I went to the Ipsos site and took a survey. There was a note on the top that claimed they had complaints of viruses on their bonus game, but that they fixed the problem. Like a fool I trusted them. GUESS WHAT?! Two minutes on their site and my pc was infected and shut down. I now have to get it repaired, but thanks to my tablet I can come here and hopefully warn others.

These folks do ok. they do pay on time and it's not too hard to cashout once a month

After spending a year doing surveys for this company, I was de-selected from their panel. On enquiry, they stated they did not like my answers ! That's introducing bias to their surveys. I always answered honestly, to the best of my ability & gave constructive feedback, so I feel my time with i-say was a complete waste of time. Avoid. Coincidentially, I had accumulated a significant number of reward points & was due large pay-out, which was probably the many reason for de-selection. Their surveys lack relevance. Avoid - they are amateurs, time-wasters & scam-sters.

I'd have to say Ipsos is the one site I get the most survey offers from per week, and most the time I actually qualify and complete them. Problem is, the incentives are low based on what it 'costs' to redeem a reward, so takes forever to get say a $20 Paypal check and then it takes the site at least a month to get the reward sent to you, something I find odd since other sites Paypal is done instantly. Also find the site to be a bit overly cutesy and friendly...do we REALLY need to name the mascot, especially since there is no way in heck I'm signing up on Facebook just to do so? (Still can't say I've seen them actually use the name selected) Do we REALLY need the grinning faces of I-say or the just for fun surveys not worth anything?

I was among those transferred when Ipsos purchased Synovate. The transfer was seamless - no points lost. I get about the same number of surveys as with Synovate, maybe slightly more, and qualify for most, unlike some other panels. Points are credited right away. I enjoy the little "Point Predictor" games at the end of surveys. I have enough points for minimum cashout, but am going to let the total build up awhile.

They reinvite you to surveys you were disqualified for days ago. The Poll Predictor is a royal waste of time! Their incentives are the worst! Their website is attractive, but beyond that they are a total waste of time!

I was transferred from Synovate and completed surveys here. Then I could not get into my account and emailed for a response because the "send password" request email NEVER came after 5 attempts. I have had this problem before and DID get a response and was able to get into my account, but this time No response for the last 2 weeks!! When you do a survey through your email you do NOT get to access your account either. Have no idea how many points I have, so I am not doing anymore surveys till I get into my account. So frustrating!!

I honestly do not understand the negative reviews I have read here!
I have been doing survey's for them for almost 2 years and not experienced any of the problems anyone is talking about!
They pay promptly and the surveys are good, If you screen out it is only after a few questions.

THEY R NEW - TOOK OVER SYNOVATE..
GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK - BEFORE POSTING NEGATIVE'S..
I'VE BEEN WITH THEM A YEAR - YES FEW PROBLEM'S HERE & THERE..
BUT STICKING WITH THEM...

Payments are frustratingly low, and adding insult to injury is when you answer 15 questions for them only to be booted from the survey for not meeting some hidden qualification.

After scrounging together enough points to redeem a prepaid card, they send me one that expired within a couple months of receiving it.

I won't be dealing with them again and advise you to do the same.

I noticed that I had not received an i-Say survey notification email in about 14-days so I contacted i-Say and asked why. I received an email from Archie stating that my account had been "deactivated following several quality checks that we have run in our database, to verify the consistency and accuracy of panelist profiles." I thought it was an odd response and wondered how it is i-Say could verify the accuracy of someone's profile and asked Archie, "How can i-Say verify accuracy of a profile unless they know the panelist personally?" I received a response from Janis. She said, "We are periodically performing advanced statistical analysis of the answers given by all our Panel Members. Those which are identified as being outliers have their accounts being inactivated." So either Janis was saying that i-Say didn't like my survey resposes, or she was calling me a liar [or both], and I have not received the points I collected.

boy, there are some very serious problems people are having! i have not had a problem with their amazon rewards as of yet, and i like that i get 5 points just for trying. hopefully i won't have the problems other people are having in the future. right now i'm happy with this site.

Good:
-Pay into paypal is quick...two weeks at the most for me.
-If you don't qualify for a survey you almost always receive 5 points, plus you play the poll predictor.

Bad:
-There is one monthly survey I receive where upon completion, it says I do not qualify. I use to at least receive 5 points, but now nothing.
-Cash out was raised from $10 to $15

I have been an member with I SAY for 5 years and never had problems since their merger with Synovate. Which I was an member also,I had accumulated points with Synovate,and never received the points from the panel. I emailed them numerous times about it and told me that the point system isn't the same That I was mistaking.Stay away from this companies since emailing there customer support.Now I don't receive surveys,and when logging on.I get an message saying I don't have authorization to access the page.

I used to do survey's with them but there were always problems so I unjoined. I was a member of synovate which I liked but since they were bought out by i-say my experience has been horrible. They don't pay you for surveys and then customer service is a joke they just give you the run around they need to be investigated by the bbb how does synovate get bought out by a company with a lower rating then them.

They use ot be one of the best,but now I would not waste my time or wish the BBB would investigate,as there is something very unethical going on with this company. Avoid it like the plague

I had joined this panel years ago and had terrible experiences with surveys, incentives and customer service and honesty. Then, after three years of great experiences with Synovate Global Opinions, they sold to Ipsos-Isay. Back to the very questionable practices, misleading and deceptive language in surveys and invites and lousy customer service. Deeply disappointed, but the industry is going very downhill in places like Ipsos-Isay!

I use to really enjoy this site but since they combined with Synovate I get very few surveys and it seems like as you get close to a cashout the surveys stop completely.

I have been a member for a couple years and enjoyed it until recently. Due to their recent merging with Synovate they messed up my account points total. They put my account my account deeply into the negative. Due to my complaints they zeroed my account, robbing me of over a thousand points. They have now been ignoring my emails and Facebook posts. Before this I was also one of those they had sent a fake Amazon gift code to, though they eventually sent a real one a few weeks later.

I Was a panelist of Synovate which I liked but they sold out to this Isop-isay site. The first few surveys I took, after 90 minutes of a long survey, the survey would get an error and I would not get credit. You contact customer care and they take a week or more to respond and just play email tag. I finally earned a $10 Amazon gift card. I just went to apply it and it says the code is invalid. I have been using Amazon since that site was founded and have never once in my life had an invalid code. Amazon customer service told me they have gotten thousands of complaints about this company sending out fraudualant codes. I just finished filing a complaint with the BBB since I saw on SurveyPolice that this is common practice of Ipsos. I am also in the process of filing a fraud complaint with the State of New York Internet fraud division since that is where the company is stationed. Do not waste your time. This company will sell your personal information.

I'm so bummed out! I actually liked IPSOS and have been a member for years, and now realize after coming here and reading all these comments that they must be cancelling my account.
I complained about a survey that I didn't get points for and haven't received any surveys since.
Their original reply to me was:
"Our Rewards department is currently looking into this issue. We will come back with more information as soon as possible."
When I tried to follow up a couple weeks later and inquire why I wasn't getting surveys I got this response:
"We sincerely appreciate your patience in this matter. Our Incentives department is still looking into this issue. We will let you know and come back with a follow-up as soon as we receive more information."
It's been 3 weeks now so I guess it's a done deal.
I really did like their rewards, especially since they introduced the Amazon gift cards. I earned at least one $10 card/month.

My review is pretty much same as the review below me. It seems that they have been cancelling many accounts with no reasons. I also had been a for over a few years. I also realized that I had not received any survey invitations for a while so I went to the website and tried to log in to my account. However, it said my account was inactive. I contacted them and was told that I had opted out on 7/30/2012. But I had never ever opted out! They told me they have a rule that if it is over 45 days, your points will all gone and your account will never be able to retained ever. Thanks for lying to me and canceling my account with no reason. STAY OUT OF IT!

I had been a loyal member of this panel for about 5 years. I realized that I had not received any survey invitations for quite some time so when I tried to log in to my account it said my account was inactive. I had no idea why so I emailed them and was told that I had unsubscribed back in March. I told them I had NOT unsubscribed and there must be some mistake. They said too bad my account cannot be reinstated and since it is over 45 days my points are all gone. I wrote back and asked for a copy of the confirmation email that I had unsubscribed. They did not send me a copy of anything, they now say that I marked one of their surveys as spam, they even admitted it might have been by accident, but that triggered my account being cancelled! Don't waste your time with a company that treats their loyal members like this, there are too many other legitimate survey companies out there with better rewards.

I have always been happy with Ipsos. I would love to receive more invites, but I usually qualify for the ones that I get and receive my rewards the same day that I request them. I can request an Amazon card with only 1000 points, which is easy for me to accumulate.

I have been a member of IPSOS for over a month and at first until I did my first cash out at $15.00 they were excellent sending great surveys. Their compensation was kind of low but seems to be like most survey sights that do not try to sell you something. My cashout to PayPal time was 9 days. Since my cashout, though the surveys have slowed down considerably.

I've been a member of their panel for quite some time. They weren't my favorite survey site because sometimes I would spend up to 20 minutes answering questions only to be told (after they collected a great deal of information from me) that I "didn't qualify" for the survey. I recently noticed that they hadn't been sending me any surveys lately so I tried to log in to my account. I couldn't log in so I contacted customer service. They wrote back and said I had asked to have my account deactivated. I did not. They said since it had been more than 45 days they had deleted all my information and I'd lost all my points. They also said I could never reactivate my account or rejoin their panel - ever.

I've been using Ipsos for about 5 years and though I like that they added a PayPal option it still seems they're going down hill like most survey companies these days.
Incentives are weak and there seem to be far more surveys I don't qualify for being mailed than ever before.
More legit than some I've dealt with but once again I feel they are going down hill.

Still worth a try if you have time on your hands and wish to get your input out there and not worried about the incentive being high.

It's a shame, I've been a member of Ipsos I-Say and they treat their loyal members like crap. My account was randomly removed/deactivated and all my points lost. I contacted them and emailed back and forth, trying to get my account back. Throughout the whole time the lady, Janis, was basically trying to say and do anything to prove me wrong, rather than try to help me out and regain a loyal member. I apparently unsubscribed from their emails (why in the world should a whole entire account with points be removed just from THAT?!). Funny because the first email I got stated that when I "unsubscribed", you're supposed to get a confirmation email. But I did not receive any whatsoever (double checked my whole inbox), they ignored my proof and found more "rules" to not give me my account back. I did surveys for years and worked hard for my points, it's a shame they just don't care and not understanding. Don't even waste your time, it's just not worth it.

i just wrote to the bbb of new york since this is where they are located now we will see what happens i was surprised to see others having problems with them. no kind of warning to deactivate my account.

Their survey frequency is Ok and their website is good visually. But the most important part of a survey site is their incentives. They are DISMAL. 80% of the surveys are worth 45 cents and it takes at least 20-30 minutes. I recently did a product test for them. For evaluating a product for a week and then providing feedback for another 30 minutes, they awarded me 90 cents. You got to be kidding me. Ever did i see a product review receiving such low incentives. I believe ISay is trying to woo survey takers with their good looking website but it really sucks at incentives. Their customer service?? I believe there is an automated email sender, because i get the same reply literally for any type of question.

IS ANYBODY DOING THE MATH? I was so excited to finally be invited to join Ipsos and was expecting so much more. Sure you get 5 points when you don't qualify but big deal a nickel. And the surveys you do get paid for- 90 points for 25 or 30 minutes of my time =90cents,45 points for 15 minutes=45cents-this is standard for them and a flat out rip off.Every site will give a bad paying survey from time to time but every survey Ipsos has sent me was an insult and as soon as i get the 15dollar paypal payment I requested 4 weeks ago,. they go on my survey sites that stink list and they get my opt-out email.Seriously people if your survey companies aren't paying you an average of about 10 cents a minute you could be doing better.

After years of completing on-line surveys, as well as testing at home, I find I am deemed 'inactive' after receiving an e-mail invitation to complete a survey. I also received a testing packet in the mail a month after I was deemed 'inactive' - it seems that as soon as I reached a substantial reward level (which they will not honor) they closed my account. I have complained to the Better Business Bureau of New York.

I was a member of this panel for many years and had no problems. All of a sudden, I stopped receiving them. I e-mailed to inquire and I got the same response many here have received, "You have too many discrepancies so we cancelled you. Thank you for your understanding." THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING?!? No, I will not thank you for the insinuation that I am of dishonorable character. I am a notary and I work for a lawyer. I demanded specific examples of these discrepanices and the details behind their actions. No response. I don't know how much incentive I had built up when the cancelled me but I'm sure they won't honor me or what I've earned. Horrible way to do business. If you want to be treated with respect, find a different company to work with. NOT this one.

I installed their Digital Connections application in my mobile and the software in my laptop. I was letting these to monitor my activities for 2 months and I never got the reward for this. I have been sending emails to them but either they dont respond or they send an email saying their technical team is investigating. They keep investigating for months and I have never received any rewards. I highly recommend to distant from this panel.

You do end up getting a reward...after a long time, but it's nice. One of the mediocre ones.

I've been with them for a few years now.They have way improved their sight. Also you may get 10 survey's a month.If you don't qualify for them you still get 5 points. Lets see that 5 surveys at say 50 points that's 250 then the 5 you didn't do at 25. They make it easy to cash out. I just did $20 in paypal after less that 2 months of cashing out! Then there's the poll perdictor game(It's very fun to do).

I'd say yes to joining if you're looking.

Good incentives, nice surveys, excellent customer support. Much more professional that other panels

This is a decent sensible honest site for surveys. Intelligent surveys and methods of rewarding.

If you redeem for Amazon gift codes, they will send you one or two legimate ones but will watch your redeeming habits and send you old claim codes that you have already used. When I told them I never received my last 2 incentives, they sent me the claim codes they said I already redeemed. . . when I entered them into my account at Amazon, it said these codes had already been redeemed. . .turns out Amazon said I redeemed these points on August 26th... Seeing how I did not request redemption of points until Sept. 2 and ISAY's customer service said I received the codes on Sept 30th. . . I sent ISAY an email two weeks ago and said they would investigate it. . . have not heard back . . . . . . Next they will probably cancel my account because I questioned their shady and unscrupulous business practices. . . Because they have an office in the state I live, I filed a report with the state's Attorney General's office

Overall great panel, my favorite of all of them.

I like this it just takes a long time for someone to invite you to join.

I have been with I-say for about 6 months. THE GOOD: you get 5 points for trying a survey even if you don't qualify; some of the surveys are interactive and kinda fun; cash-out is at $15; i received the first check i requested when i reached the cash-out point; the poll predictor game is kinda fun (though I'm not sure how often anyone actually wins); you get "loyalty point" for filling out enough surveys with them; free products to test. THE NOT SO GOOD: OTX is now doing their screening questions (makes me worried); screening can take some time; incentives for surveys are LOW compared to other panels such as OO and OP, often 45 cents for 15-20 minutes; check may take a while to come in the mail (but it did come for me). All in all an OK survey site that i will probably stick with. I wish the payout per survey was better, but at least they give you something for trying and the loyalty points are nice.

Be cautious when using this survey company. You will do surveys and get points, but once you get enough points to get a gift ESPECIALLY the cash card offered they discontinue your account.
Plus they sent me a deoderant stick to try and it caused me to develope a terrable rash when I wrote the company I got no reply and can no longer sign into my account

I have been with Ipsos I-say for quite some time and have enjoyed them for the most part. Recently they have been using OTX-Opinionshere to do their screening questions. It kind of freaks me out because I am afraid that OTX-Opinionshere is taking over.

Wish I received surveys more often, but other than that it's an okay panel. Approximately 2 years and I've made $50. Interesting surveys, I enjoy playing the Poll Predictor. I guess I just expected more from such a well known company.

When I first joined the points I received were high which added to the amount of money I earned. Now surveys only give 5 to 20 points and that causes a long amount of time for money to bill up in your account.

Registered a long time ago with them...surveys were frequent and at least you always got something even if you didn't qualify. All of a sudden surveys just straight up stopped coming. Tried to log in after not recv'ing anything for over a year and it says my account is inactive. Not inactive enough for them to quit sending me surveys through the mail though...the ones you don't get incentives for. What a load!

I've been with them more than a year. At least they were sending me surveys very rarelly and I almoust forgot about them, but about September 2010 something changed, and since then I was able to make ?10 every month, which I got in Amazon vouchers. It's a shame, they don't pay cash, even via PayPal, but Amazon is o.k. for me. For last two incentives I had to wait longer, earlier it was only about 2 weeks, hope they will back to their best level.

They will not email me back. My account has been suspended. Earlier they said there were errors in my surveys. What? I am honest, I don't lie, errors? Because I am quick, efficent, that I answer the surveys in too short of a time. I have a lot of point is this account but they won't let me get paid. They close accounts because they don't want to pay.

they canceled my account .waste of time .

Registered with the co. several yrs ago. Had not received any for a while. Got invitation to join another co. & seemed I was already registered so I asked them about this. Their very strange reply was that THEY (Ipsos) had canceled my account because I had "discrepancies" in some of my answers. I'm someone who always tries to be as honest & accurate as possible. Told them this & that it was probably not enough choices that forced me to put a fake answer just to get by & expressed interest in WHAT discrepanthe right 2 cancel w/out telling me & insinuating it was my fault I had said discrepancies. Have problems with sev'l cos. who do not provide proper choices & believe this 2 B the case. Have never heard such an accusation B4 from a co.

I have found Ipsos to be one of the best survey panels that I belong to. I have been averaging about $10 a month so far. Payment takes a little longer than I would like.

I've noticed several people mentioning that the cashout button doesn't work...I'd ask these people if they have actually done the process properly, as I've never once had a problem with cashing out. Here's a tip, people : you must first add your reward to your cart, then proceed to cashout...pretty easy, but it seems that many people don't have the ability to figure out an easy checkout...I suppose that if you have never shopped online, this could be an excuse for not knowing how to operate the cashout feature...

At least this company doesn't have lengthy pre-screening surveys for which payment is not made...there are always some points awarded. Cashout is now a minimum of $10...it was $5, but that changed a few months back.

I like I-say because I usually qualify for their surveys, their surveys are interesting and kinda fun, they pay reasonable points, and you can cash out at $10. What I also like is they have a loyalty program. I've only been a member for 4 months so only know what I've read, but they do reward better after a year's membership and the longer you're a member, and the more surveys you complete, the higher paying surveys they will send you, and they will send you more surveys. I'll wait and see. So far they don't send me enough surveys and I usually have to go to their website about once a week to see if any surveys are available.

Never had a single problem, make around £100 in argos vouchers every year which can take upto 4 weeks to arrive but they do. Always recived my points although sometimes it can take a few weeks for them to appear on the website as the survey is still running, so hang on in there. Get a small amount of points even if you dont qualify for the survey and you never lose you points even if you decide not answer a survey ever again. A good honest site if you are honest with them.

I've used IPSOS i-Say / Reid for around 3-4 years and they've always come through; however, they can be rather slow on delivering redeemed items or money.

But if you like a reliable "all-round" (surveys, points, sweepstakes, etc) survey company, they are for you. :)

"I tried to get my password retrieved because I forgot it and they canceled my accout because they claimed that there are dicrepancies in my surveys. I have always given honest answers to the questions in their surveys. do not join this panel".

So True! Avoid Ipsos.

I ahve been taking their surveysa for a year or so. Months ago, they stopped giving me the Mypoints they promise at the start of each survey. Have contacted them twice in regard to this. Get a manby pamby form reply that they are checking into it. Waiting for a $10.00 check I requested 2 months ago. Have 800 points in the Ipsos account. When I can cash that out I am done with them. Very unprofessional, and dishonest liars as well.

Been with them for awhile now, Acumulated 500pts "$5"
fast, cashed it out and have been waiting MONTHS now.
Ive acumulated another 800 waiting for the first
to get here, but ive just about given up
why does it take 3 months to send me $5?

If it ever gets here, i might start up with them again, and cash out that 800, but i doubt it would get here.

$5 in 3+ months and its still not here,
Thats just bad bad bad. Theres much better out there. MUCH MUCH better

I like taking their surveys. They are fun and I like playing the Poll Predictor game afterward. They're not as awesome as Opinion Outpost, as their surveys aren't worth as much, but I know that and I still use them. As promised, I received my $10 check in 4 weeks. I qualify for their surveys about half the time...and don't feel like they are fishing for information, like some previously said.

This is really bad. It's hard to earn enough to cash out, and when you do, it's hard to get your reward. I don't like this one at all!

Been with them for over three yrs. Ordered 4 $10 gift cards a few months ago and received 3 of them. Emailed them about the missing one and had my account deactivated for not being patient. Emailed them about that and they stated there are dicrepancies in my surveys. I've always been conscientious in doing their surveys, but it doesn't matter to them.

Offers Gems, however this is the only survey panel that asks like ten questions and then at the end thanks one for their time and then doesn't reward.

I fill like this this survey panel is fishing for many of the same info over and over again and that I seem to NEVER qualify no-matter what I put - Worst survey company I have ever come across - I had other surveys and qualify quite easily and I have done it for less gems.

away been with company along time. takes a while to get 1000 points and a while to get the check but $40. a years isn't bad. just the wait last time it took 3 months for $25. check, but it still was money.

My time is worth more then the 4-10 points they give out. I wonder if all the good reviews here are people who have been with them for many years.

I have been with them for about a little over one year now. They seem to pay pretty well and haven't had a much of problem cashing out. I noticed someone made a post on the cashout button didn't work. You have to go to Internet Explorer. Found out the hard way that there site doesn't work well with other browsers. The surveys are good and if you don't qualify they they at least give you something for your time. More than I can say for other survey company's. The only thing I don't like is the length of time it takes to get your check. That could use come major improvements.

I've been with I-say for a little over a year. I get quite a few survey invites. Their incentives aren't great, but I enjoy the surveys. Some are quite fun. I really believe they are an honest company. I've also had pretty good experiences with customer service when I've had problems with my account.

They suspend your account after you complete dozens of surveys and finally want to redeem something, making various of excuses.

I un-subscribed when the survey to be completed asked what kind of accounts you had in what banks...sure made me nervous.

Does anybody get any surveys on this site. I did when I first started and it seemed like they died.

Just tried to cash out for $10 for a giftcard and there payout button doesn't work. Do not join this site. it is horrible.

One of my favorites. I get at least 10 surveys a week. I don't always qualify but they still give you points in you do not qualify. I have cashed out with no problems many times and have always received my incentive in the time period that is stated.

I'm still an active member as I have 10 points = $1 in my account, hehe! I used to get plenty of surveys for 4-8 points with the odd ones for 10.
I saved 50 up for a $5 Starbucks coffee card.
I've earned 3 sofar from them over a 2yr period, then suddenly they seemed to stop. I can now get a cheque for a min. $5. But Iv'e not recieved a survey in over 1yr now.
I wish I could get my $1 in the form of a cheque like what the min. at SurveySavvy is, or like GreenFields min. $1 deposit to your PayPal.

My demographics must help me on other sites, but it doesn't seem to help here at all. I don't agree they are fishing for free information, but the site definitely is very hyped and with Ipsos being one of the biggest market research sites in the world, I am shocked it's not more active in sending me stuff.

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.

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.

DON'T SIGN UP TAKE TO LONG TO GET A REWARD.U NEED 200POINTS FOR 20$(CASHOUT AT $10-100PIONTS).EACH SURVEY IS 4-8 POINTS U GET A SURVEY TWICE A WEEK OR ONE EVERY OTHER WEEK .BEEN WITH THEM FOR A YEAR I HAVE 198POINTS.I'M GETTING MY CHECK AND QUITTING THEM.

I received a nice test product from them today and also cashed my account. So I have had a pretty good experience with them so far...

I've had no problems with this survey company..they've always paid out when I've cashed out..but I do hear that they had problems with INCENT ONE ..they were the ones with all the gift cards & now you can only redeem for gift certs which isn't bad..no problems here

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.

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!

Try to cash out but button does nothing SCAM

Been waiting for months for 10 dollar amazon gift card..e-mailed several times..no response..then finally they write and say they have forwarded my email to the higher-up in the company. No response from whoever that is..Pathetic and a total waste of time!!

i've been with them for awhile got nothing i think everyone who said yes works for them,but thats my opinion

Points are small and take forever to earn. Redeemed rewards finally 10 weeks ago and still yet to received. I contact c/s and they advised me they were having a problem getting gift cards sent out. Pathetic excuse for a company. Don't even bother.

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.

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.

I have had NO problems at all with IPOS. I have traded in points several times for $25 gift cards, and in addition have gotten to test products numerous times in my home. I also receive MyPoints whenever I complete I survey. LOVE THEM!

At first this site was ok.Now they are becoming more like OTX and kicking you off because of malfunction of some sort. Pitifull that companies treat people like this for a buck.
Do not reccomend this site anymore.

They went to a pts system promising a better survey incentive and experience, but won't send the cashout incentive. All I wanted was my $5 CVS card that I earned...cashed out in march..today- well after filing a complaint with survey police, I can't even login to my acct.Hmm?

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..

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.

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.

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.

I've been with IPSOS-I-say for about 4 months it's true their incentives are small but I find them honest and enjoy doing their surveys and recently they invited me to complete a home study which pays cash as soon as the study is complete.

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.

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.

they give you alot of surveys in which you can redeem for a variety of great prizes.

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.

I have gotten 3 5 dollar gift cards from them and they always come as an unexpected surprize, never won anything though.. Cant figure there vip club out....... I guess im in it for all its worth lol

I have received a gift card from Ipsos, thanking me for my participation after I have left for not receiving any rewards. I look forward into Ipsos i-Say for further notice.

I had a very good experience with Ipsos i-Say. I like the number of survey invites I get from them. It really gives me a chance to earn points.

I received very few surveys while with Ipsos i-Say and the few surveys I received were difficult to navigate. Eventually decided this survey company was not worth not my time. Very difficult website to navigate.

I was with Ipsos for awhile and NEVER got any paid surveys. Just some ones for sweeps. I finally resigned from their panel. Was not worth my time!

I have been trying for almost a year and still have not received my money!!! They have told too many lies. Every time they email me its a different story. I have wasted too much time doing surveys for this company with no compensation. I would stay away from this company!!!

i think i must be one off the lucky ones iv been with Ipsos for about 8 months so far i normally get two or more survey a week to do and have collected lots of points probably over £60 worth which as come in nicley its one of my favorite sites which i hope to keep adding to my rewards with them in the future

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.

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.

I've only got one survey that paid me $3.00.
The rest are entries into sweepstakes. I've been with Iposos for about 3 years. Total waste of time and energy. I delete their surveys unless they offer cash and that is VERY RARE.

Have been a memeber for 2-3 years, completed many surveys 50+, for each survey I received entries that could be put into drawings. I never won anything nor know of anyone who did.

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.

There isn't any way to check your status on your account. They have owed me $10 for two months.
