Dear i-Say.

Here is my post on your FB page that no one has yet sent a response too. No sorry, that is incorrect. After hours spent trying to get support, I was told among many things that I needed to create another account. After doing so and waiting for a response, turns out my demographics no longer matter. That's funny but another story.

So as it goes....

When I just went to do some surveys, I found out that my account was deactivated in May and I am hoping you can help.

I will admit that I was not active and this was due to health, work and other circumstances. When I went on Medical Leave from work in 2017, my job was restructured and I was terminated after 15 years. During this time my dog and my life Humpfrey was diagnosed with cancer and I dropped everything for him so I could give him all the love and best treatment in the world. He passed in January and this crushed me b/c he was my world.

In February, I was hospitalized for blood clots that returned from surgery several years previous and this sidelined me for quite some time. When I went to our local emergency hospital I was told by the doctors after a CT scan, they were surprised I was able to walk into the hospital. Another said if I had not come in then, I would have died.

In the meantime, I have been writing an appeal with the Human Rights Commission of Ontario, which to date has involved over 1000 hours of research etc.

Now in trying to get my life back on track which is still difficult - you know getting back to the gym and a routine but also b/c of the blood clots things are difficult. Hold on, it doesn't end there. Last week I went for a mammogram and have been called back for more tests including an x-ray and CT scan.

I hope that everything turns out okay b/c I have to get back to work which involves finding a job but in the meantime, I wanted to get back to doing surveys for extra pocket change.

I had at least $50 in my account which I was saving for a rainy day and as you can see, have quite the torrential downpour going on here. If you can provide me with any assistance in reactivating my account I'd greatly appreciate it. Funny, getting called for more tests just made me sigh, losing this money which is for some not a lot but it's groceries for me for a week and me when I think given all the hours put into the surveys, I am going to just go cry. Silly given everything else. I can provide you with documentation for all of this in a pm.

Thank you.

This is the only issue I have had with this site in years, but it is a big one; one that may change my mind about signing up with the again. I am a member of over 70 different survey sites, so I keep a list of the sites in an Excel spreadsheet and use that list whenever I decide to log into the sites. So, I was able to log into my Ipsos i-Say survey account as recently as 2 weeks ago (about every 1-2 weeks I sign into all of my survey sites to check balances and to check if there are any surveys that I can take) and everything was fine. However, when I tried to log in a few days I was given the wrong password error (which is weird because I also keep a list of passwords). When I tried to reset the password, I was given an error saying that I did not have an account with Ipsos i-Say. So, I contacted the site and was told that my account was deactivated in May 2016. I was so confused because I had just logged into that account, I know I did because it was on my list and the name of this site is easy to remember because it is so unique. I replied and explained that to them, but I received the same response that my account was deactivated in May 2016 and I could sign-up again, oh and I had also lost all my points. I just received the same short response again today, after I again asked why I was able to log in so recently if my account was deactivated, we'll see what they say this time (I'm sure they'll say the same thing). I'm disappointed because I feel like they might do this a lot, wait until someone has racked up a lot of points and then take their points, lock them out of the site, and then tell them their account was deactivated years before. Please be careful if you decided to join or if you have already joined this site. If I hear anything else from them and they actually do something to help me, I will post here again.

I've spent about 4 hours trying to fill out surveys and only have only earned about the equivalent of $2 in rewards. So basically you're getting paid about 50 cents per hour of your time.

Most of the time, I would click on a survey I was pre-qualified for, only to spend 5-10 minutes filling out more pre-qualification questions. Then it would tell me I didn't actually qualify for the survey or they had already filled their quota. That's a lot of work for measly 5 points (you need 500 for a $5 reward).

Simply put, this was a lesson in futility. I wasn't expecting minimum wage, but it would take significantly more than 50 cents an hour to keep me coming back.

In Feb this year, further to my updated below review, they emailed me and it seemed they wanted to clarify the situation and help....... They gave me some explanations, which I proved wrong....... but they said that the INCOMPASS project team will contact me .......
I then emailed them again, but of course no reply and the Team never contacted me....... This is NOT a professional behaviour, I am still waiting explanations, but they know how badly they acted in my case, and I wonder how many other members have been tricked in this way.

------- UPDATED REVIEW - After my below review, somebody from Ipsos called Monica left a message advising me to get in touch with c-s. I did using the email she gave but of course I was ignored. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME as nobody from Ipsos care what we think. They will continue to use all the tricks in the book to exploit respondents.

------ MY OLD REVIEW - I used to think that Ipsos was an overall very good ethical company - despite experiencing in the last few years surveys errors, too long screenings clearly gathering info!, OR I start a survey for xx points but without my knowledge I end up with less points (c-s says that if you do not qualify you're switched to another survey... SO
less points but as long!!...).

OR simply long surveys not well rewarded... Yes, they have a reward programme, but you have to receive surveys to qualify.
And all these empty emails that even if you just received
them, click and no survey available...

Against their present £10 voucher 1380 points I calculated that £0.72 = 100 points.
1) Surveys have usually good layouts except when they use the frame-in-the-frame ones, and there may be errors here and there!
2) You may be awarded 5p to 25p if you dnq or have filled a bit longer than the qualifying part but not the full survey.

CONS
They are constantly trying to recruit new members, but what about loyal existing members?
So, I stopped to follow their fb page. And recently for the fist time I did not complete one of their prize-draw survey (that we should complete as part of the deal). Anyway, never won anything in years.

My HALF A STAR is because of their INCOMPASS tracking app - Not an ethical behaviour theirs:

I joined through a third party (they still recruiting); it was for a smartphone study (have screenshots, they never mentioned other devices).

Ipsos anyway stitched to the recruiting process a devices survey, which I completed THEN started to 'harass' me 'blackmailing' me with the reward, telling me that I had to run their app in my other devices if I wanted to be rewarded (same incentive by the way).

Well, I couldn't No space left and laptop is sensitive work.
ALSO, the app is quite heavy to run as it records TV radio etc signals... so my smartphone is the best devices as per original invitation! So I left.

I joined again but said didn't have other devices -diff. account- to see if I was accepted with my smartphone only and surprise surprise I was accepted in the study with just my smartphone! (though it didn't last).
Anyway, now my opinion of them is at a floor level, even if they changed their wording I feel betrayed.

Their normal smartphone APP does have very few surveys and they open in a browser. It is good to see polls but the like feature is partially missing, so it's ok.

IPSOS had a year long mystery shop in which you were required to have a specific phone plan from At&T in which you pay first of course and then eventually IPSOS would reimburse you...or so they say.I was reimbursed for the first 6 months no problem and now they refuse to pay my for the balance owed.

I was never told the shop ended prior to the posted shop instructions that stated: You will keep the plan going for 12 consecutive months April 2016 to April 2017 with At&T and now they claim I breached my contract by claiming emails were sent to me or I failed to do something. I even have payment pending in the history log and they refuse to pay me. IPSOS claims that the plan was changed and the study ended without any notification in Dec 2016. If a shop ends early it is the responsibility of IPSOS to notify and pay for any outstanding fees incurred due to no notification and/or early termination fees!

We all know mystery shop dates change and it is up to the company to let us know the updates and have them posted as an update on the assignment instructions! I am out $800 with At&T, because I was on a one year contract. I only had this plan for the IPSOS study and of course they did not have me on a cheap plan. They even had their attorney contact me to scare me off and he did not even have the correct study dates on his letter.

I had to email him the original job instructions and dates. summitscheduling.com was part of this nightmare as well. Anyone have any suggestions on how to collect this money from IPSOS.

Just found out through other posts that the client did actually cancel their contract with IPSOS and IPSOS failed to notify their mystery shoppers.I have been told that I am not the only one who was not paid!

Review about: Ipsos / AT&T

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Monetary Loss: $873.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

I didn't like: Failed to properly post updates on shop portal, Uses their in house attorney to scare shopper to prevent payment, Client cancels contract with ipsos and they hide it, Ends mystery study with no notification to shoppers.
