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.

Okay Site

March 15, 2017 by Minseo from United States

I've been a member for about a year now, but I never said I was an active member. Toluna has never been a favorite for me because of the following:

1. Their surveys are easy to disqualify from.
2. They have rewards that are way too high-priced.
3. When you complete a survey, your points won't come in until about 6 weeks has passed or when the survey has ended officially.
4. Their "gifties" are okay to the people who like to bet their points on a prize that they have a chance of winning. (1/1,000) -- (Exaggeration.. Who knows? Maybe it's true.)
5. When you redeem for a prize, you don't get an email with the gift card. You have to check in your account. (This may have changed. I will update if it has.)

Overall, yes, I have gotten paid from them, but the payout was about 6-8 weeks for me. Not the most impressive, but according to my terms, they are still a legit site, but if you had to pick only one survey panel to work with, I wouldn't pick this one.

Toluna/A Bad Experience

March 2, 2017 by Chris from United Kingdom

I have joined SurveyPolice to warn other people against joining Toluna. Having been a member of the site for a considerable amount of time, i like many other people found their membership terminated with the same standard e-mail. Basically they have got rid of many members who have done no wrong, completed surveys and waited their rightful rewards/payments, but Toluna have decided against paying people and instead terminated their accounts. I was personally owed a £20 Amazon voucher and have appealed why i am no longer a member and asked for what is owed me, but like others, i have been ignored. This site also holds the world record for the longest time to pay you, weeks turn into months. The recent cull of people on Toluna is shameful, and i hope people will steer clear of using this survey site. My rating for this site is "one star" and that is being overly generous. Please do not use Toluna, your time and effort will be wasted.

Toluna needs more love

February 9, 2017 by Julie from Canada

My favorite survey site!
The only complaint I would have is that they remove some of your points after a certain time frame? It happened to me when I was relatively new to the site, and hadn't been on there for at least a several weeks, which I guess is fair game. It hasn't happened to me since so I'm not sure if they only do that to new users or perhaps not even do that anymore.
Anyway, having to earn 60,000 points for a cash out might seem like an outrageous amount, but the points accumulate quickly. They seem to offer a few surveys every day, which are usually around a couple thousand of points each, and I'm usually not screened out from those. The surveys are also NOT ridiculously long, which makes it even better.
I also like that you can create and answer other people's polls or just share your opinions, giving the site a community feel. And some of those polls will reward you 15 points, which seem to be sprinkled around the board so it can be easy to make over 100 points just by answering those polls!
As for pay out, it seems to take a week to get into PayPal, which I find to be acceptable.
While you probably won't get a cash out every single day, it's a fun site!

Not worth the time and effort

February 8, 2017 by ma from United States

I joined Toluna-us in Jan2016. I registered with an email and a different paypal address. According to the terms of agreement Toluna states that redemptions via paypal will be submitted to the address on file. Nowhere in the terms does it state that the registration address and redemption address to paypal must be the same. I have had numerous payments made to my email address as they are registered in my account. Low and behold in Feb. 2017 I requested a redemption only to receive an email that my account was closed because of yes, my paypal address of record since Jan. 2016 does not match. Why after all this time, Toluna finds some ill fated reason to close my account without rewarding my 90000 pts. I strongly recommend staying away from Toluna, it is not worth the time nor effort after this type of treatment.

Don't bother wasting your time

January 23, 2017 by Erika from United Kingdom

I've been screened out of at least 70% of the surveys I've taken on this site, most of the time when I'm more than halfway through. Because of this, it takes forever to get a reward and when you finally get enough points to get one, it takes forever to arrive. Just don't bother. There's other much better sites out there.
