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

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.

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.

Don't Bother!

August 16, 2018 by Karen from United States

I recently joined, thought I'd give it a try. It seemed to me that I completed surveys and had points "pending" but never received. A few days ago I saw a survey for 40 minutes for 2500 points. I was bored so I took it. First of all, it took WAAAY longer than that, but once you're in you hate to just stop. So I get to the very end. It says thank you for all your time (or something like that) please click to submit. When I do, suddenly it tells me I have been screened out. What? So I write to them, and two days later they said they investigated.

Here is their response: We reviewed your survey activity for 14-15 August and found that in that period you took one survey: 1512262-US (for 2,500 points, estimated length: 40 minutes). Unfortunately your participation was terminated after 77 minutes. If you are screened out none of the data you have previously entered is saved and hence we are not benefiting from any of the surveys which you are screened out nor from any questions you may have answered prior to a screen out. The information is only saved on completion of the survey when you reach the "Finish" button in which case you will also be credited for.

If a member does not meet the qualifications, she or he will still be rewarded an entry to our daily lottery, where a member can win 1 million points. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Carrie Summer

Yeah, right. I terminated my account immediately. Life is too short for me to be that "understanding". I DID hit the finish button. They just didn't want to pay me.

Forget About Them

July 15, 2018 by Sharron from Canada

I am referring to the Canadian panel. It has become so bad I will close my account if I ever get to redeem my points.

They no longer give disqualification points for surveys not completed, they do not have many rewards in the lower point bracket and it takes forever to redeem the higher bracket rewards. The most annoying thing is when they run out of a certain reward they either take too long to replenish it or do not replenish it at all.

Another survey panel bites the dust!!

Okay Rewards -- Website Issues

July 13, 2018 by Paul from United States

UPDATE JULY -- It's getting worse, especially with surveys they use from Harris. You spend 20 or 30 minutes completing them, click submit, and get a bloody error message. Then you check your points and the survey you just spent time on is not reflected anywhere. Who is running this? Cretins?
YET ANOTHER UPDATE (April 16): Website down again and not letting people log in, with a message stating that the login credentials are not recognized.

ANOTHER UPDATE: THE SITE IS DOWN YET AGAIN AND REDIRECTS YOU TO THE LOGIN PAGE SO YOU KEEP GOING IN CIRCLES.

UPDATE: I AM UPDATING THIS REVIEW AND GIVING IT FEWER STARS BECAUSE OF FREQUENT WEBSITE GLITCHES, PROBLEMS CASHING OUT VIA PAYPAL, AND LONG SURVEYS THAT CRASH WHEN YOU TRY TO SUBMIT THEM AFTER FINISHING THEM. WHEN YOU COMPLAIN THEY ASK FOR THE SURVEY NUMBER WHICH IS NO LONGER VISIBLE. MANY MANY PROBLEMS OF LATE. The rewards are okay here, and they always pay out in a couple of weeks. There are decent number of surveys. The main problem is the issues with the website. It's down sometimes, or there are broken internal links. The most maddening thing is they keep saying to "complete your profile" but it's impossible to complete it because no matter which option you select for answers, nothing registers. Nothing is updated. It just sits there giving you the same message to "update your profile". Jeez. They do have support, but you have to send a message and await a reply which comes at glacial speed.

Points not given

July 10, 2018 by Ewen from Australia

Went to my points tally to find out after months of survey completions only getting prize draws and no points, waste of time. Also, the reward points seem to be capped no matter how long the survey is.

Fun site

July 2, 2018 by Christine from United States

This survey site is fun and community oriented. Unfortunately, they have your points expire after a short time. Too bad if you are saving up for a larger gift card.
