In July 2018, AIP Online Surveys rebranded itself as Rakuten Insight.

Rakuten Insight is an online survey panel where consumers can voice their opinions to private companies, government organizations, academic institutes in exchange for cash and gift cards. Panel participants help Rakuten advise on the development of better products and services.

Join to Take Surveys

Signing up to take surveys with Rakuten Insight, is as easy as filling out the registration form. Once complete, you will be sent online surveys to fill out. Multiple users from the same household may register, however every person will require their own separate e-mail address to register and accounts cannot be shared.

Take Surveys, Earn Rewards

Rakuten Insight awards points for every survey completion. Point amounts will vary based on the content, the number of questions and the length of each survey. Accumulated EPoints can be redeemed for cash or vouchers, with reward options varying by country.

Gift Card Options

In the USA, you can opt to redeem your points for Amazon gift cards. Just 500 points is needed for a $5.00 e-gift card which will be e-mailed. For residents of India: redeem your EPoints for your choice of an Amazon e-voucher, Flipkart online voucher or Lifestyle online voucher. Just 100 EPoints (worth Rs. 100) is required for your first redemption.

Get Cash for Surveys

If you'd like to receive cash payments for competing surveys with Rakuten Insight, a few different options are available:

• PayPal payments - redeem your points for a cash payment made to your Paypal account with just 500 Epoints (worth $5) in earnings. Available in the USA.
• Paytm payments - get paid by Paytm, with just 100 EPoints (Rs. 100) in your account. Available to members in India.
• Venmo: Venmo cash payments are available in select countries. A minimum of 500 points is required.

Redeeming Rewards

Rewards can be redeemed from the 'Point Shop' page. Follow the instructions to redeem your points at any time for rewards (provided you have enough). Note that the email you use to sign up for Rakuten Insights must match the email used on your PayPal or Venmo account in order to receive a cash payment without issue. Payments are usually issued in batches - typically, once per month.

Rakuten Insight App

Users with Android devices can opt to download the Rakuten Insight app on their mobile phone, which can make it easier to take surveys as they become available. Use the app to not only take surveys directly from your phone, but to also see all surveys available in your account and to cash out your points for rewards. The app is currently not available to iOS users.

Survey Frequency

Although the number of paid surveys invitations you receive will vary based on your demographic information, the more complete and up-to-date your profile is, the more likely it is you will receive surveys to complete. Survey lengths vary from just a few minutes to up to half an hour and can be taken on your desktop computer or mobile device.

Refer Friends for Bonus Points

Depending on your country, you may be able to refer your friends and extended family members to the program in order to earn bonus points. You can invite as many friends as you'd like, but you will only receive bonus points on the first 10 members per month that you refer. Your unique referral link is available in your account under the Invite & Earn page. At any time, you may view your bonus points credits for referrals under the 'Awarded' tab.

Eligibility: Anyone 16 years and older from the following countries may join: Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam.

I don't like this Survey site, One can make maximum of 10$ in an year from them.

December 28, 2013 by Romeo A from Philippines

It has always surveys to be completed and surveys have a long duration of time to expire. The surveys are of not in quota based.

December 18, 2013 by praveen from India

These people giving too much pressure for taking surveys on a controlled manner..

October 22, 2013 by Fili from United States

Not enough surveys. One can make $10-15 max a year at this site.

October 16, 2013 by si from United States

That is pretty much all I can say.

I was not a member for long and cannot say anything about the cashout process.

Why bother when there are so many portals around that grant more points for your time
