DEACTIVATION REASON

April 4, 2019 by Mary from United States

I was just informed that my account was deactivated because their email was sent to my spam box. This absolutely did not happen.
I really did love IPSOS I-SAY and I am so disappointed in their tactics. I have won several large prizes with them and I thought I was a good survey taker. Evidently, there is another unknown reason for this. I'm sorry they thought I was dispensable, but I would not recommend them at all. I would have given them 5 stars a month ago. Something has changed with them. DO NOT JOIN!

Sneaky deactivation of accounts

March 18, 2019 by Polly from United Kingdom

I was getting close to the minimum points needed for a reward then stopped getting surveys. Tried to log in; got a message saying my email was not recognised. Contacted customer service; got a snooty reply saying that the account had been de-activated because one of their emails had been marked as spam by my email provider. Rubbish! No i-say email had been marked as spam; I always check the spam folder and no i-say email was ever diverted there. Talk about a blatantly fake excuse! Do they really expect anyone to accept that, and go off and open another account like the 'customer service' guys order them to? And to top it off, they actually try to give themselves credit for doing something "responsible". The only credit i-say can be given is for sheer b****y nerve!
Don't touch this site with a barge pole!

worst survey ever

March 8, 2019 by Jim from United States

I have been participating in surveys for a long time and take pride in doing so and providing useful accurate answers. I take a lot from this site and the is the first time I have felt motivated to post what I fear will be viewed as a rant. In the years I have been taking surveys I have never experienced so MANY redundant and repetitive answers.This survey site reminds me of a petulant teenager that keeps asking the same basic question with only a word or two different and continues to do hoping to get the answer them want. If this site was a teenager I would ground them, take their cellphone, tablet and limit TV Time

Hi James,

We're sorry for the poor experience.

I kindly advise you to contact the support team at [email protected] so that they're able to further look into the issue reported. However, please be advised that all surveys, including follow-up questionnaires, have a required number of results and some participants can no longer complete it after the quota has been reached.

Kind regards,

Bad Service. Site Issues. Takes Forever.

January 10, 2019 by Paul from United States

UPDATE JANUARY 2019. I finally had enough with the technical problems, the slow or nonexistent support, the surveys that will not load or are broken, the lack of available surveys, the non-response to password reset requests, yada, yada, yada. Enough already. Enough time and effort wasted. I am done with this bunch. Be warned.
UPDATE AUGUST 2018: A perpetual problem continues to be that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing at this site. You're logged in on the main site page, and they have your profile already in their system. The main page says, for example, that you have 5 surveys available. So you click on any one of those surveys, or all of them, and you get a message stating that no surveys are available. If no surveys are available, why did you tell us that 5 are available? Jeeeeeeeez, people. Get it together.
UPDATE; THE SITE IS EXPERIENCING GREAT DIFFICULTY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO COMPLETE MULTI-WEEK DIARY ENTRIES. YOU JUST GO IN CIRCLES. THE SUPPORT DESK IS NO HELP AT ALL. THE BORED-SOUNDING, INDIFFERENT, CURT WOMAN WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE AT 800-745-4267 NEEDS TO FIND A JOB IN WHICH PEOPLE SKILLS ARE NOT REQUIRED. THIS COMPANY COULD HAVE SEARCHED THE WORLD OVER FOR TWENTY YEARS AND NOT FOUND A LESS ABLE CANDIDATE. This site has a good variety of different surveys that are sometimes unusual, which is good. Payment speed is average -- they always pay, but not super fast. The two major problems are: (1) the site often has issues where you try to finish a multipart, multiple-day journal but the thing freezes up and will not let you finish, but you have to wait and wait and wait for a glacial response from support; and (2) you can do week after week after week with no new surveys available, making you seriously consider just canceling and giving up.
