Quick short survyes
by Doug, Jan 22 '12 I usually only answer the quick opinion polls on the home page. You get 15, 30, 45, 60 points for each one that takes only 15 seconds. I must take 15 of those a day. You also can register to be a tester for certain products. I've tested quite a few and got paid and got to keep the product. |

Not a big problem
by Heather, Jan 13 '12 While Toluna does have longer than normal surveys, and quite a few that I do not qualify for, they make up in the fact that they send out alot of invitations. I happen to like them, but I have not received anything from them yet as far as incentatives go. I actually just cashed out for a check, so we will see how it goes. |

Not Yet Sure
by Mick, Dec 28 '11 Because they pay you in points instead of money it is hard to gauge whether they pay well, but judging by the fact I get about 4 surveys a day and am still nowhere near enough points after 6 months to get a small money token I think it's safe to say they don't pay well.

You Got to Be Freaking Kidding Me
by Harvey, Dec 12 '11 I have been participating in online surveys for 5 years. I hold a graduate degree in pyschology. I have been trained to administer and interpret various psychological tests; consequently, this specialized university training combined with years of experience provides me with a little more insight than the average bear when it comes to understanding surveys. Considering the limited depth of the information most surveys are trying to obtain from paticipants, it does not have to take 30+ minutes to determine whether someone is appropriate for a survey. Toluna is full of ..... and/or they have idiots writing their survey. |

I do not understand the poor ratings
by Lorna, Nov 13 '11 I seem to be among the unfortunately too few to have had good experiences with Toluna. I guess the people who have had poor experiencse have had too good expectations for them. I was with Your 2Cents before Toluna bought them and while I liked getting paid by Your 2 cents frequently, Toluna could be much worse. I was able to choose the incentives I wanted and I did receive them in a timely manner. It only took approximately four weeks to receive my most recent payment. I average doing a few surveys a month with them, but they are consistent and I do not get mad if I am screened out of one, or I am too late to take one. My suggestion is have some patience with Toluna and make sure your profile is filled out accruately. You will get rewarded in due time. |

Can't Complain!
by booke, Sep 28 '11 After reading some of the reviews I was kind of nervous to try them out, but I gave them the benfit of the doubt and signed up. I receive invitations to take surveys almost every day and have aready racked up a decent amount of points. Will cash out next month! The incentives are okay, but all I really want is cash anyway! Definitely recommend it1 |

90 minute survey for a prize draw.
by Lynne, Sep 16 '11 I started to take a survey that had a point incentive but I was re-routed so many times, I ended up taking a 90 minute interactive survey for a simple prize draw!! I am furious this was not stated at the start of the survey and it is utterly ridiculous for these panels to think any of us are here for free!! I hate this site!! Freaking rip off artists is all they are!! |

Now the lowest of the low
by Doug, Sep 14 '11 Toluna was a top money maker for me if not a Well paying site, Over the last 8 months the errors and sweeps were mostly things of the past, now though Their incentives have hit new lows, the sweepstake only surveys are back, as are the errors that prevent crediting incentives, They take forever to mail your check and often and at least a couple of times haven't sent it. I'd avoid this company they're as crooked as a $3.00 bill |

Mixed feelings
by Rachel, Sep 05 '11 I have mixed feelings about Toluna. They DO pay and they are definitely legitimate. I even won a $250 monthly sweepstakes once (you cash it out like regular earnings and unfortunately I couldn't cash out the whole amount at one time, had to cash out $240 and then lump the other $10 with other earnings to cash out at $20).

STEER CLEAR
by kirsty, Aug 02 '11 NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR A FEW YEARS BUT THEY ARE NOW REFUSING TO SEND ME MY VOUCHERS AS MY 'ADDRESS DETAILS ARE NOT CORRECT AND THEY DONT HAVE TO SEND THEM TO ME NOW AS A RESULT' I WENT ON AND COPIED AND PASTED MY DETAILS TO THEM FROM MY PAGE AND THEY RESPONDED WITH THE SAME AS BEFORE. SURVEYS ARE OFTEN VERY LONG, YOU DONT GET HARDLY ANY INCENTIVE FROM THEM, THATS WHEN YOU DO QUALIFY (YOU HAVE TO ENTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN ABOUT 6-7 TIMES UNTIL YOU GET ONE THEY ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE) I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE ON THE SITE FOR A FEW YEARS YET I AM STILL CLASSED AS A 'NEW MEMBER'. WHEN/IF YOU DO RECEIVE A VOUCHER THEY COME THROUGH A FEW MONTHS AFTER ORDERING THEM, THEY OFTEN MISS OME IN BETWEEN. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE TAKES MONTHS AGAIN TO GET A REPLY THATS IF YOUR LUCKY ENOUGH TO EVEN GET ONE, NEVER HAD ANY PRODUCT TESTS FROM THEM PERSONALLY. STEER CLEAR-SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. |

Toluna keeps $20 checks coming!
by Jill, Jun 23 '11 I love Toluna. It is one of my top 5 survey sites. I like the social aspect of Toluna with all the polls and opinions. I had been just taking the sponsored polls, but I've gone in and read more about how the social points system works and I've started posting my own polls and opinions. I can't wait until the end of the month now to see how many points I will start getting for the polls and opinions as well as for all the surveys that I've been qualifying for and taking. It seems as though as soon as I receive one $20 check, I've already got 1 or 2 more payouts processing. It usually takes about 2 weeks to get the checks. So, you just have to keep going back and visiting Toluna to see if there is more you can do there. They don't send emails to you very often. So you have to check on their site more. |

by Frank, May 17 '11 They send a ton of invites. Most are for a measly 60 cents. These I just ignore, but they also send some of the highest paying surveys. Just completed a $30.00 survey from them. I received credit for it, no problem. They paid to PayPal within a few days. |

Mixed Feelings
by Gail, Apr 06 '11 I read through these reviews and this company really is a 50-50... you take a chance...one survey I qualify for, then next three I won't. The ones I get don't seem to have much to do with my profile. The one they denied my payment, was one they asked my son to take, then said answers weren't legit so they're not giving HIM his $2. Customer service is greatly lacking in response time and adequate resolution. |

Don't Waste Your Time
by Reta, Feb 11 '11 I have been a member since '07 with Your 2 Cents. Toluna surveys are very hard to qualify for and then the incentives you receive are shameful. It got to the point that I never qualified for a survey so I had to earn all my remaining points by doing sponsored questions. And I finally earned 60,000 points to cash out and I have received my check and I am OUT of there. So very glad to be free of this survey site. I would discourage anyone from joining Toluna. |

Mixed Feelings towards Toluna
by Kathleen, Jan 27 '11 I became a member of Your2Cents in 2003 and stuck with the panel when they became Toluna in 2009. I really much preferred the clear dollar amounts that Your2Cents provided as incentives instead of the points Toluna offers as it's not intuitive to think 3,000 points is the equivalent of $1. When I contact customer service about survey incentive or payment problems, sometimes they're great. I filed 3 inquiries in December 2010 and they were all responded to in a timely fashion. However, I currently have 2 inquiries on file for January 2011, one of which has been pending for over 2 weeks, and I have yet to get a response. It's really frustrating, especially as in the past two week, I have taken at least 2 surveys, gotten all the way to the end after 15-20 minutes, and then am told that "I do not qualify" and will only receive a lousy sweepstakes entry. I understand that survey panels have to screen people, but a 10+ minute screening process is absurd. |

A lot of surveys and... problems...
by Anna, Jan 12 '11 I recomend, ONLY if you are really patient. About a half a year ago they overtook the best panel, I was a member of: Ciao. After that sad incident, they haven't worked actually for about two months. E-mails havn't been answears, payments havn't been made and surveys didn't worked mostly. After that time, it turned a bit better, but I feel treated unfair: I haven't been provided with any information, regarding my pending rewards from Ciao, that were souposed to be paid by Toluna. Some of them were, but I don't know, how many were not. And Ciao was paying with cash via PayPal, while Toluna gives you only some vouchers... |

Persistent Payment and IT Issues
by keith , Dec 06 '10 This site took many months to provide credit for poll and opinion topic postings that were to be credited monthly, then did not follow through with promised resolution dates. They communicate poorly with members about such issues. They failed to honor a date promised in a BBB complaint resolution. Strongly suggest not to join this site. |

Mixed feelings, but it does pay
by Kala, Oct 15 '10 I'm 8 months pregnant and not working, so I had the free time to waste on their lengthy surveys. They give time estimates before you take the survey (usually 5-30 minutes to complete), and even the 5 minute surveys take 15 minutes or more to complete. Who estimated these times, I wonder?

Spent 30 minutes and disqualified
by susie, Oct 04 '10 This is really disgusting. I just spent a half hour really trying to do my best, having to check what's in my kitchen, the ounces, when I bought the product and then I was disqualified. They WANT honest answers, I had a lot of the product they were asking about. What's the problem? This happens often with them but a half hour?? And I type fast! This is grossly unfair. |

one of the worst
by Mary, Sep 16 '10 For the few surveys I qualify for & complete with Toluna, there have been several where I did not receive the incentive. After this started happening too many times, I started keeping track of the surveys I completed, so I could put in a request for the points. It takes weeks to hear back and most requests are denied. It also takes weeks for the incentives to be posted. I can hardly wait to get to the next cash-out level, receive my check (which also takes weeks to come) & cancel my account! |

give your opinion for free
by lynn, Jun 01 '10 I got another typical invite from Toluna. Spend 30 minutes for 900 points. Do the math. It takes 3000 points for $1.00. When it was My 2 Cents it was a decent company. Now it just is insulting. Customer service is a form letter that is sent out 3 weeks later. And if your not credited for a survey it's "Oh, Well" It is quite common to spend 20 minutes in a 30 minute survey just to be told "Unfortunately you do not qualify..."

They do pay and worth the time.
by Melissa, Mar 26 '10 I have been a member since 2/13/10 and have cashed out twice for a total of $40.00. I need 3,000 more points to cash out again for a total of $60.00, which I should get within the next 3 or 4 days. If you use paypal you get your money within 4 to 5 business days. There are some surveys that you don't get credit for, I think it's because the company who you did the survey for didn't think you were honest or didn't take time to read it throughly. Overall, you get credit for at least 98% of them. You need 60,000 points for $20.00 but they aren't that hard to get. You get 99 points by making 80 word comments to others topics. If you get 20 comments to your topic you get 500. I'm totally satisfied with them and the extra money is great. |

Fraud
by Barry, Mar 25 '10 Besides paying peanuts for their surveys they cheat you on the points. I COMPLTED an interactive survey for which I spent over an hour and was never compensated. It took literally weeks for 'customer service' to respond to me and then they had the nerve to tell me I did not qualify. After I initially qualified they sent me multiple e-mails to take the survey. They let me complete the survey but I was 'unqualified'. Save your time and energy and cross these loosers off your list. |

The new point is a joke, lucky for them most survey takers do not understand how math works and have not realized they were just paid 27 cents (900 points) for that 45 minute survey That is assuming you get credited at all, which is not likely.

PayPal users Payments sent 1 time a week
by Angela, Feb 24 '10 When you reach the payment threshold they will deposit to PayPal 1 time a week so you arn't waiting forever like Surveyhead (3 months)! They have mergered with Greenfield (formerly My 2 Cents) and the growing pains are over so they run smoothly. You can submit your own surveys in their community and even link them to your social networking sites. You can also create your own opinion topics for people to just voice their opinions. If they are on Social Issues you may even be paid points (toward your payments) if your survey qualifies. Great network and great company! |

by Bobbi, Jan 27 '10 I was duped into thinking Toluna was an ok site-yet recently they've made a turn for the worse. They converted to a higher payout level 60,000 points for $20. Good luck qualifying for any of those surveys. Also, if you're lucky enough to reach the payout level-it takes literally months to receive the check. Also, Greenfield merged with them-and Toluna didn't credit my account for the balance I had w/ them. All in all-they're getting worse by the minute. |

It's not perfect by any means but generally I find it worth my time. |

I have had problems with surveys from Toluna, when you get to the end suddenly you get an ERROR message. Sure you do, they have gleaned you for all the necessary information at that point.

Ideal for Masochists
by Lea, Nov 07 '09 Now downgraded to Toluna a frivolous survey company, previously Your 2 Cents. A conduit for OTX & Greenfield. Usually receive 3000 points ($1) for lengthy exhausting surveys & many no points because upon submission receive message technical difficulties. To add insult to injury they have raised cash out from 30,000 points ($10) to 60,000 points ($20). Need to complete very lengthy tedious surveys at $1 each (worth much more) & also anticipate many no point surveys with technical difficulty. Not worth it. I am trying to reach cash out as I have 30,000 points. You can redeem 45,000 points ($15) for a VISA but they deduct $2 so you net $13. I resent unsubscribing now with no reward but I may because too frustrating. |

by Brian, Sep 25 '09 Your 2 Cents (now Toluna) USED to send me a decent number of surveys (5-7 a month). Since they have become Toluna, I haven't received a single survey, even though all my profiles are complete. I suspect it is due to my balance being $56+. I'm going to request my check, wait for 2 months to get it, and quit wasting my time with these folks. |

Scam site
by Fred, Sep 22 '09 Three months to wait for $10. You may get a reply if you're lucky and usually amounts to no results in your favor. After they gain all the demographics you're told you don't qualify. I spent 20 minutes on one survey and just when i was ready to submit it I was told I didn't qualify for it. |

Didnt think it could get worse..well..
by CHARLES, Sep 21 '09 Your 2 cents which was bad enough was taken over by some crap company named Toluna and as if waiting 3 months or more isnt bad enough for 10 bucks you get error messages most of the time AFTER you complete a survey..if youre lucky enough to qualify. You email them regarding this error and they do NOTHING whatsoever to compensate the time you wasted. As soon (HA!) as I get my next check in this century..Im outta here!! |

Total waste of time
by Rob, Sep 11 '09 This survey group was taken over by Toluna and the experience has been terrible. When you try to take a paid survey, you might spend 15 minutes or more answering questions only to be told you do not qualify for the survey. Plus, when you request payment they take up to three months to pay you!! Avoid this survey group. You'll be glad you took my advice. |

Forever for payment
by Monet, Jul 28 '09 It's kind of hard to qualify for their surveys and the incentive isn't that great. I cashed out $10 twice and it took FOREVER FOR THE PAYMENT TO COME. But what annoyed me most was that the first time I cashed out they said I would receive that check in 6 weeks and then I had enough money to cash out 2 days later and then they said I would get that check in 8 weeks. Why wait longer when they're 2 days apart? Sheesh. But anyway, I got them. |

Decent
by Mark, Jul 03 '09 The 2 cents is not bad if you like waiting forever to get paid. I cashed in 20 dollars worth and almost 2 months later I finally got paid. I have tried contacting it does no good. Decent site just understand it takes a long long time to get the money. Maybe they will switch to pay pal and improve the site who knows. I have been a member almost 8 month and have made about 130 bucks not as good as some but better than a lot. |

Lot of surveys, but takes too long to get paid!
by Mary, Jun 30 '09 I only recommended it because I do get surveys quite frequently. However, when you cashout, your check stays pending for a very long time. I have cashed out once, have not been paid yet, and almost have enough to cash out again. I'm going to see if I eventually get paid, and then I'll rate it again. |

Waste of time!
by Jillian, Jun 22 '09 I requested payment on April 24th. It has been over eight weeks and I am still waiting. Called them a little over a week ago and was told 8 weeks is their policy and that I would have by the 19th of June. Since I didn't receive it then, I called back and was told actually this week was the eighth week. I told them that they are the only survey that takes that long to send payment and that was not a good way to keep panelists. Especially since I requested payment from another company the same time and I received that payment over a month ago. They don't really seem to care if I stay or leave. I will be leaving them as soon as I receive my payments. Complete waste of time. Almost impossible to qualify for surveys and when I do, a lousy $1.00 a survey is mostly what I end up with? |

Long Wait for any payments
by Joann, Jun 15 '09 I have requested 2 checks now with this panel. Both still state they are "pending" and one has been pending for several months. I have contacted their customer service and have had no help at all. They send back an automated reply and close the help case.

Your 2 Cents is a SCAM
by Ana, May 12 '09 I have been a member of Your 2 Cents since October 2008. I have not received a single survey from them. I have been checking their website for over 3 months and there has not been a survey for me to answer. I have completed all of the profiles, but I still do not get any surveys. I don't know if they are still in business. My balance is $0.00 as of May 2009. I have not made any money with these scam artists. STAY ALWAY FROM YOUR 2 CENTS!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Good pay-don't qualify for most
by jay, Apr 20 '09 I like your2cents-but I usu don't qualify for about 80% of the surveys they release. They pay pretty good- ~ $1-3 per, but again qualifying is a problem. They also don't have paypal & getting payment takes @ least a month. My latest payment took exactly 8 wks. I've earned $30 this yr-according to them. So, it's worth the slow pay if @ the end of the yr. I will have earned an aver. of $120. |

Always count on $1
by Sonya, Apr 08 '09 I'vce been with this company for 5 years. Like everyone else, I used to do pretty good. Then I cashed out, and 3 months later did not have my check. I was told that the accounting guy took a leave of absence, so no checks went out for 2 months. What? How many people do you have at your company that cant write checks? Sounded ridiculous to me. OH, and the whole make $1-$5 for a survey, I have NEVER gotten more than $1. 30 minutes for $1 is a waste of time. I dont even bother with them anymore. Now they changed to points, lowering the low money they used to pay anyway. |

Not like it used to be...
by Roxanne, Feb 17 '09 Your 2 Cents was the very first survey site I ever signed up with, and I used to get surveys all the time. I hardly ever get surveys anymore, it has taken me almost a year to get to my $10 to cash out.

They Do Pay It Just Takes Way To Long!
by Marzetta, Feb 04 '09 Your2Cents is a legit company with legit surveys and they do pay you they recently raised the payout from $5.00 to $10.00 which isn't a smart thing to do when you take foreveer to pay people their incentive. They need to offer paypal instead of sending out checks it seems that your check is pending for 2 months before its released to you for that reason I rated them low on the incentive scale also they usally offer 1-3 dollars for a 40 minute survey if they go higher its usually an hour long and very repetitive questions rarely do I get the full amount I can spend half an hour or even 40 minutes and get 1 or 2 dollrs they always say up to whatever the dollar incentive is so you really never know what your going to get until you complete the survey. |

Mixed feelings.
by Robert, Oct 30 '08 A tenative "yes" to this site. Only a couple of survey opportunities received each month though. Some are higher value surveys of $7.00 and up, but usually get disqualified from completing them. The $1 to $3 surveys are mostly the norm for full completion. Overall its an "OK" site, if you have some time to kill. Barb: Receipt of payments are a bit slow. Laurel: But improving at the time of this posting. |

Used to be Good
by Tammy, Sep 24 '08 I used to get surveys all the time and when I requested a check they were pretty consistent with payments but now they are messing up. I requested a $10 payment on May 22 and the check is still pending. I have sent two emails to them and receive the form letter back that someone will contact but so far no one has. Also they don't send emails that I qualify very often any more. |

What happened?
by Molly, Sep 04 '08 Like others have posted, this was the first survey panel I ever joined. Years ago I used to do pretty well with them and cashed out fairly often. Now I probably receive 1 or 2 surveys a month...if that! Surveys are lengthy and while you're promised $1-3 if you complete the survey, it seems like I always get $1 for my time which is hardly worth it. I still do their surveys IF I don't have other "better paying" ones to do. I would recommend them just because they do pay. |

Hit or Miss
by Albert, Dec 02 '07 I have cashed out twice. The only problem I notice is Your 2 Cents tends to send many surveys lasting 20-25 minutes for $1-$3 reward if you qualify. That is a lot of time for such a small incentive. Then out of the blue you get one for $10 of course harder to qualify the higher the incentive. |
