Blacklisted for trying to help improve.

May 14, 2018 by Chris from United States

I was a member of I-say, and completed many of their surveys with no problem until I mentioned in a comment section on their website that their reward system had a small flaw that should be addressed. Suddenly I stopped getting survey invitations, and my membership cancelled. When I contacted them, they say that their analysis showed "contradictory answers" so I was terminated. I'm a member of other survey sites (mintvine, yougov, etc.) that also do checks for consistency and I've never had a problem with any of them, so this sudden expulsion doesn't seem right. I often don't qualify for most surveys but I'm honest anyway. I think blacklisting someone for a comment they don't like is a poor business ethic.

Bad experience

May 6, 2018 by Sylvie from Canada

Few surveys, bad customer support.
Even with screenshots of my points balance before and after a survey and 5 emails to the customer support, they won't admit they decreased all my points survey. Not suprised why it takes so much time to get a $5 reward...
I asked to delete my account.

Don't recommend at all.

Will Delete Account for No Reason

April 24, 2018 by Kevin from United States

I should have read the other reviews before I even bothered to register with this panel. I had received some survey invitations through this panel's app. However, I was unable to take the surveys at that moment. 2 hrs. later, I attempted to take the surveys, they were gone. 1 week and a half goes by, I never received anymore survey invitations. I emailed the panel to ask about this. I get a reply back stating my profile was incompatible with their research; therefore, my account was deactivated. I reply back asking why was I able to still log in, why was I still able to answer the short polls, and why wasn't I given notification??? I also sent FB message to this panel. I received a reply stating that someone would investigate and contact me. Next thing you know, my account was completely removed!!! In addition, I tried to leave this exact same review of this panel on FB, I get a message stating that my review is "abusive".

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PANEL!!!

If I get linked to any of i-Say's surveys via my other panels, I WILL NOT be answering!!!

Update:

I love the answer that this panel gives me,"Please check our terms and conditions on our website for more details on this issue." By reading other reviews about this panel, apparently this panel can delete your account without warning or reason. I've seen more than one person state that they were about to cash in their rewards when all of a sudden their account was deleted. BUT, I'm sure Ipsos got paid REAL WELL from their client that hired them to conduct the survey!!!

EVERYONE, DO NOT ANSWER A SINGLE SURVEY FROM THIS PANEL!!!

I deleted my account

April 22, 2018 by Janet from United States

I just deleted my account with them a few weeks ago. They just don't pay well, they're very unresponsive to survey takers and just not a professional company, IMO.

These companies pay these survey companies good money to find honest, thoughtful people like me. People like me aren't going to be blown off, given chintzy survey amounts or treated like we're second class citizens.

I'm pretty bright and I'm sure most survey takers are. Companies usually get good ideas and feedback from intelligent consumers like myself who are brand loyal and who have every intention of conducting commerce.

Not this one. Ipsos lost another good survey taker. Once I delete my profile from these sites, it's goodbye for me forever.

Maybe companies should go after survey takers directly.

one of the best out there!

April 19, 2018 by Dale from United States

Where do I start? Great interface, interesting, well structured and entertaining surveys, consistent quality, you still get a few points even if you don't qualify, hassle-free experience, the only downside in my eyes is the long 2 week waiting period for PayPal payouts, but other than that highly recommended, love me some iSay!
