More "Discrepancies"
by Tracy, Jan 25 '12

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.

Beware
by Manikandan, Jan 06 '12

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.

One of the best ones out there.
by Anthony, Dec 17 '11

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.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
by Nick, Nov 21 '11

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

Not Bad
by Amy, Sep 15 '11

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

by Rebecca, May 06 '11

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!

by Anna, Jan 12 '11

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.

by Tony, Nov 03 '10

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.

Better than most
by John, Oct 28 '10

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.

by Laura, Oct 21 '10

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.

by Mark, Oct 03 '10

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

LOVE THEM
by Hanne, Jul 24 '09

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!

Just like OTX! What a SHAME!
by Jim, Jun 04 '09

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.

why bother
by maria, May 31 '09

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?

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.

by Dixie, Mar 14 '09

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.

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.

No Go
by Joseph, Feb 05 '08

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.

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.
