How Toluna Influencers Works

toluna influencers website

Create an account for 500 free points

With Toluna Influencers, creating an account takes only minutes. To create an account, answer a nine-question survey about yourself; your name, date of birth, gender, country of residence, zip code, desired password and mobile number (this is optional). Confirm your account by clicking the e-mail link and receive an instant 500 point credit to your account.

Take interesting surveys to earn rewards

Toluna offers their members surveys every day that are on a wide array of subjects including large consumer brands, your habits, and the environment you live in. Your opinions will directly impact companies and how they market, distribute or advertise new products and services to consumers like you.

Fill out the profilers for more points

When you first log into your account, you will be asked to complete the profile surveys (though this is optional). These short surveys are designed to help better match you to surveys so that you're primarily sent surveys you will qualify for. For every completed profile survey you complete, you will be awarded 100 points. You can update your profile surveys every 6 months to earn more points.

Payment and Rewards

How to Redeem Points

Upon joining and completing surveys and participating in games and other point-awarding activities, you will be credited with points. Once you have earned a minimum of 30,000 points ($10.00 worth), you can redeem your points for a selection of prizes.

Rewards Options

Toluna Influencers offers an extensive rewards catalog. When you're ready to request a cash out from your Toluna Influencers account, click the Rewards button and choose from a wide variety of options:

  • PayPal payments - with 65,000 points in your account, you can request a $20.00 PayPal cash payment.
  • e-Gift cards - choose from a wide variety of digital gift cards, including Amazon, Boston Pizza, Apple, Starbucks, and many more. Gift cards can be redeemed with as few as 30,000 points ($10.00).
  • bitcoin - receive $30 USD in Bitcoin in exchange for 114,000 points, awarded via mybitcards.

Note that rewards options will vary based on your country of residence.

Toluna Points Value: 3,000 Points = $1.00 (though this varies slightly per reward chosen). Therefore, 30 points = $0.01.

Rewards Processing Times

Upon requesting a reward, it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be delivered. All rewards are digital in nature (PayPal or bitcoin cash and e-gift cards), so ensure you monitor your inbox closely after requesting a reward to ensure you don't miss it!

Survey Taking Experience

toluna influencers surveys

Start taking surveys

The Surveys tab in your account will display a list of online surveys ready for you to fill out. You can choose to view surveys by Priority Surveys (which are recommended for you), Quick Surveys (short surveys), or by Premium Surveys (surveys that award more points than usual).

Every survey will display the estimated length of time it will take to complete, the topic of the survey, as well as how many points you will receive for completing it. Some surveys may offer a unique experience such as being a video survey or a diary style survey.

Points Earned Per Survey

The number of points you will earn per survey completion will vary and is based on things like the length and complexity of the survey. However, successful online survey completions typically award anywhere from 15 - 50,000 points each, and special surveys could offer even more.

Points Expiry

When points are credited to your account, they remain valid for 16 months. If after this period your points have not been used, they will automatically expire and be deleted from your account. Your points will not expire all at once; instead, points will expire 16 months after you originally earned them, so be sure to regularly redeem your points for rewards.

Offers something different than regular survey sites

January 11, 2019 by Kaitlyn from United States

You are able to vote for different subjects, and voice your opinion on the many questions that are asked by this site's very own members. Many surveys and they are very interesting to complete. I did not get paid for surveys, but it has only happened about 3 times. Great survey panel and would recommend it to my friends. I did lower my original review down a star because they seemingly got rid of their product trials you could sign up for.

Not What It Was

December 3, 2018 by Neil from United Kingdom

I have been a member of this for years. It was probably one of the first survey sites I ever joined & it used to be very good. You still get a lot of daily surveys to complete so its possible to rack up points quickly in theory. The problem is that you are screened out of virtually all of them. Another issue I have with this site is that the points you do earned are liable to be removed from your account if you don't use them by a certain date, depending on when you originally earned them. I don't see the reason for doing this as the points don't actually use up any physical space so it's just annoying. I don't know of any other site that has this.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s important for us to hear about your experience to deliver an even better service next time.

We launch hundreds of surveys every day, each with their own specific respondent needs and targets. To make sure the surveys you answer are right for you, we have indeed put in place a screening process at the beginning of each survey to ensure you fit the target group. If you don't, the survey will close and you will be automatically redirected to a new survey opportunity.
To increase your chances of receiving better targeted surveys with the highest chances to qualify, we recommend you always keep your profile surveys up to date.

The points expiration policy is part of our loyalty program and its sole purpose is to make sure that our most active and engaged users are the ones who are most rewarded.
Points only expire after 12 months from the date they are earned, and on average active users can redeem multiple rewards in that time.

If you have questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to reach us at https://uk.toluna.com/contactus.

Warm regards,
Toluna Team

Toluna allows you to redeem after 60,000 points and your points can expire too!

Toluna Influencers responded to this review on April 4, 2019

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate our influencers’ opinions as they help us better shape the Toluna experience based on their needs!

We have many rewards at different thresholds, so you do not need to wait until you gather 60,000 points to redeem a gift card. Don’t hesitate to check all rewards available at https://ca.toluna.com/rewards

The points expiration policy is part of our loyalty program and its sole purpose is to engage our influencers and encourage them to be constantly active, while earning more points and enjoying the multiple reward options we offer.
If not spent, points only expire after 12 months from the date they are earned. When points are about to expire, a black banner will be visible in ‘Your Points’ section notifying you of how many points are about to expire on the 28th of said month. You then have 28 days once the notification shows up to use these points.

Please don’t hesitate to reach us at https://ca.toluna.com/contactus with any further inquiries, comments or suggestions you wish to share. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your opinions! We hope you’ll give us another chance so that you can get the kind of experience that we’re aiming.

Best wishes,
Toluna Team
Won't pay as promised

November 19, 2018 by Lois from United States

I turned in my points for surveys taken and the emailed me to say I would get a $10 certificate in one to four weeks. It has been a month, I have sent an email twice and still no gift certificate. Don't join this group, they don't pay

Toluna Influencers responded to this review on April 4, 2019

Hi Lois,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review.

We’re so sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectations. This is on us and we would love to make things right if you give us another chance.

Gift card requests were processed within 2 weeks’ time until end of 2018. Since the feedback of our influencers is paramount in our ongoing strategy to constantly improve the user experience of our global community, this year we worked hard on speeding up the delivery time. This means that your voucher should have been processed and made available a long time ago.

Did you know that once processed, the details of most e-vouchers are available directly in your Toluna account? Can you please check if this is indeed the case for your voucher? Codes and voucher information should be available in 'Your Rewards" section at: https://us.toluna.com/YourZone/vouchers. Using the calendar, make sure to choose a time period that includes the day your redeemed the reward.

If you do not find your code in the account section above, I would be happy to assist you personally. Simply provide me with your username here or open a ticket at https://us.toluna.com/contactus with the following as subject: Survey Police review - follow-up.

Regards,
Katy
