Good but could be better

March 29, 2021 by Marcella from United Kingdom

It varies if their surveys will work properly on mobile devices, failing that their survey layouts are well organised to easily reply to on a laptop. They payout quickly and would hope in the near future they tweak their mobile surveys.

Get paid literally pennies per survey yet Ipsos is worth billions

March 26, 2021 by Rina from United States

Ipsos is a giant in market research. We are talking several billion in revenue worldwide.

So why Ipsos are you so utterly, disgustingly cheap on paying your respondents, who are a core reason why you're so rich?

I have to take 15-20+ surveys to get a $5 gift card. Yet you are charging your clients each thousands upon thousands for your research results.

What!?

Also with isay, Ipsos is encouraging respondents to be professional survey takers with their platform, because you can take survey after survey. And in fact, with their points system, they want you to take survey after survey. If you don't lie, you won't qualify for most surveys and spend A LOT OF TIME being screened out and getting no pennies for your time on that.

All this means Ipsos survey results to clients are going to be bogus on some level! I bet the clients don't even know what's going on here.

Shame on you Ipsos, don't be so cheap!

Hi Rina,

We're sorry for the inconvenience! Indeed, the number of points earned depends on the number of surveys completed.

Here’s a brief overview of our rewards system:

· Most surveys award 45 to 250 i-Say points. There may even be 1-2 minute surveys that award 5 i-Say points. You can then redeem your points for the rewards of your choice, including Virtual Visa cards, Amazon gift certificates and more!
· i-Say rewards vary from denominations of $5 to $1,000. Once you have accumulated at least 500 i-Say points, you can redeem them for a variety of reward values.
· You’ll begin your Bonus Quest when you take your first survey! Once you earn the title of Survey Champion, you’ll be awarded with a bonus of 100 i-Say points.
· When you complete a survey, you'll also be invited to play Poll Predictor for the chance to win amazing prizes.

Kind regards,

DON'T SIGN UP

March 25, 2021 by Dave from Canada

This website deserves 0 star rating if I could do it. I signed up yesterday, completed 2 surveys and then about 4 hours later, I receive an email saying that my account was deactivated!

In their terms of service, they say they have the right to deactivate without warning.

In my email I received, they told me my profile was not "suitable to their needs", how would they know they in just a few hours?

Pretty pathetic website. Don't waste your time with these people. I'd hate to get so many points to only get deactivated in the end.

Hi Dave,

We're sorry for the bad experience. Unfortunately, not all respondents become active panel members. Sometimes, our area of research is incompatible with some profiles.

This survey company is not great in my opinion

March 10, 2021 by Marina from United States

They send survey invitations to me and when I accept then I answer questions and they won't accept me and give me no points most of the time. It is frustrating because if you contact support they want the survey number and you have no idea because some or most of them have no number because they move from survey to survey trying to find another one if you don't qualify so how am I supposed to know the survey number? They have a bad system and don't seem to care about the panelists work and time.

Ipsos iSay responded to this review on March 23, 2021

Hi Marina,

We apologize for the difficulties encountered. Most of the times, the support team needs the number of the survey either found in the initial survey link or on the survey dashboard of your i-Say account. This enables them to investigate that particular survey. Thank you for your understanding in this matter!

Regards,

i-Say Panel Support Team
Account was closed in ONE day!

February 21, 2021 by Grace A from United States

I signed up for i-Say on December 28th; I confirmed my e-mail address and filled in some profile info. The next day, without ever seeing a survey or participating in any way, I received a message that my account had been deactivated. It said:

"We have been reviewing our clients' research requirements and, unfortunately, your member profile is no longer suitable for our market research needs. Consequently, your account was deactivated on 2020-12-29.

In these circumstances, your membership cannot be reactivated."

I contacted them, asking WHY?!...

...and two months later, I'm still waiting for their reply...

I'm having a hard time understanding how my profile is 'no longer suitable' for them--but it was 24 HOURS earlier! I'd avoid this site like the plague. If they ban a brand-new member out of the blue, for a reason that makes no sense, I just can't recommend it.
