Scam
by Donna, Nov 19 '09

Toluna is a total waste of time. Their invitations say $1-$3 but when you complete a long cumbersome survey you are lucky if you get the $1. I get messages "due to a technical problem we cannot credit your reward at this time". Problem is you never get it. The cashout amount is 30,000 points for a measley $10. It takes 2+ months to receive a check. I have e-mailed customer service and have never received a response. Don't waste your time with this one.

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.

Used to be good, now Terrible Waste of Time
by Adam, Oct 02 '09

When Y2C first opened, they were great. Paid well, good quantity of surveys, and a bit slow on the payout, but still fair. Now, they collect all your data and then disqualify you at the end so they don't have to pay. This happens 9 out of 10 times. If you DO get rewarded, you may never see the check until next year.... AVOID THIS SITE. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Not since Toluna bought them
by jim, Jun 24 '09

Your2cents is a thing of the past. They have been taken over by a company called Toluna.
Automated replies to your questions, but when actual response comes, still no straight forward answer.
New site is somewhat hideous, somewhat like a forum. Check for cookies after visiting, or better yet stay away from them altogether.
Long wait for incentives. If your lucky.

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.
I would avoid them. They are being purchased by another company so there is a slight chance they could become better in the future, but until they are proven better I wont be taking any more of their surveys.

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.

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're surveys are kind of long, at least 20-25 mins. and a lot of times, you may not even qualify for the survey. but they DO pay when you request payment. and as long as you're patient they're a good survey site to be on.

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.

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.

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.

by Dan, Sep 13 '07

I have had poor luck with this company. They hooked me up with a "partner" and I did an extensive phone survey and I never got paid.

There are too many survey companies that do pay consistently for me to waste my time on this one.

If someone gets paid, post it.
