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.

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.

Mixed to Negative Feelings

September 17, 2010 by Matt from United States

I've been with them for 9 months, I love how many survey opportunities that you get with Toluna but I still have serious issues with them.

First off their rewards right now are horrendous. Most surveys offer $.40 for 15-25 minutes of your time. Even then I don't qualify for quite a few. I've had a breakdown of roughly:
65% Don't qualify
20% Qualify and get paid
15% Make it to the end of survey and have something go wrong/says you don't qualify

It gets very frustrating very quickly. Even though it may take a while to have it credited they are reliable on payment, but its way too much work for so little money and a good amount of migraines. If I wasn't as desperate as I am I would probably leave and once things get better they'll probably be one of the first survey sites I cut loose.

I got another typical invite from Toluna. Spend 30 minutes for 900 points. Do the math. It takes 3000 points for $1.00. When it was My 2 Cents it was a decent company. Now it just is insulting. Customer service is a form letter that is sent out 3 weeks later. And if your not credited for a survey it's "Oh, Well" It is quite common to spend 20 minutes in a 30 minute survey just to be told "Unfortunately you do not qualify..."
And this so called family site has some members pics that are nudes and graphic. This appears in the Recently Active Members Area on your home page. No joke so beware if you have chidren!
As for their policy to pay when you respond to member polls you'll get people who write blah blah blah 80 times and get points for it! No quality control.
I am a few points from payout then CANCEL!
A good company gone to crap! STAY AWAY.

Points expire! Beware of losing everything!

September 17, 2010 by Louann from United States

I haven't seen anyone mention this from the FAQ.

Do points have to be used within a certain time limit?
Yes. When points are credited to your account they will remain valid for one year. If after this period the points have not been used, they will be automatically expire and be deleted from your account.


I will be cancelling my membership soon, as I've only earned points from the old site, Your2Cents. I emailed Toluna to ask about the sweeps entries for points that I heard about, and they have not replied. They don't have a phone number on their site either, and after hearing about all the technical problems that prevent surveys from crediting points, I don't feel like wasting time taking surveys when I can't call and discuss the problems with them.

They do pay and worth the time.

I have been a member since 2/13/10 and have cashed out twice for a total of $40.00. I need 3,000 more points to cash out again for a total of $60.00, which I should get within the next 3 or 4 days. If you use paypal you get your money within 4 to 5 business days. There are some surveys that you don't get credit for, I think it's because the company who you did the survey for didn't think you were honest or didn't take time to read it throughly. Overall, you get credit for at least 98% of them. You need 60,000 points for $20.00 but they aren't that hard to get. You get 99 points by making 80 word comments to others topics. If you get 20 comments to your topic you get 500. I'm totally satisfied with them and the extra money is great.

In my experience

September 17, 2010 by Charlotte from United States

They have a new site now, where Toluna and Greenfield have become one.

They constantly send me surveys to take and I never qualify. Ugh, it seems like a total waste of time, I just sit there trying to qualify for surveys over and over again and never make any money. They send me tons of surveys to try to qualify for and it says they're worth sooo many points, but I never get the points because I don't qualify. I think I'm going to just ignore them from now on...
