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.

Note that rewards options will vary based on your country of residence.

Toluna Points Value: 3,000 Points = $1.00 (though this varies slightly per reward chosen). Therefore, 30 points = $0.01.

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.

Why Bother?

January 28, 2014 by Lee from United Kingdom

After having a period of extended illness I have had lots of time on my hands lately and have used this by trying to earn some extra cash doing surveys. I have joined all the top 20 survey sites that were linked on a UK consumer money saving site and I can tell you that Toluna is definitely the worst one. Not only is the amount they pay you paltry but the survey periods go on for months meaning points don't get credited to your account for literally months after you have finished them. Add that to the fact that they AGAIN take months to send you the rewards after you have redeemed them and you just get automated bot replies to any complaints/queries and you have a truly dreadful survey company that should be avoided to protect your own sanity.

I joined this panel over a year ago, and had accumulated a lot of points. When they started the gifties program I bought every giftie on the board where it is instantly revealed whether you are or are not a winner of the prize you have purchased. I won 6 different prizes and waited for my merchandise to arrive. I didn't receive anything, so I contacted them and was told it would be a couple of weeks. I waited longer, but was told I had to prove I had won the gifts. I once again inquired and was told that I had NOT won anything, that it was a sweepstakes, and they would notify me if I did win.......The last time I asked for my winnings, I gave them a deadline and that time has passed. I won those over a year ago, and I still haven't received anything...... I am now going to contact the Better Business Bureau to lodge a complaint, maybe that will get some results.
The prizes I won were;
4 nights at Marriot Hotels
A full toolbox
Set of baseball tickets
fruit basket
Timex Digital sportswatch
Exxon mobile gas card
Now you can see why Im so mad about getting cheated, I spent many hours doing these surveys and should get what I worked for!! If you are having the same problem with them, complain on this site, and file a complaint with the BBB. If enough people speak up, maybe they will get the message!!!!!!

Disgraceful conduct.

January 21, 2014 by Joy from United Kingdom

Based on my experience with Toluna UK. I would strongly advise people to use an alternative survey site..
I find it totally unacceptable that the voucher I ordered more than eleven weeks ago has still not arrived.
Customer services are not responding to my emails so effectively they have cut off all communication.
In my opinion Toluna is an unprofessional organisation who's conduct leaves a lot to be desired.

I do not think its scam. Its just a bad portal

January 18, 2014 by si from United States

Update:
after leaving the portal they started spamming me. I unsubscribed but they ignored it. I had to put a "delete" filter on 3 different toluna email addresses.

They have loads and loads of surveys.

The rewards are way way to low; the minimum pay out is too high. My feeling is they live from people closing their accounts or loosing their points after a certain time.

Unfair screen outs at a point where you get the feeling you have answered the full survey.

Tried to delete my account after a few days.

Twice.

It has only been like 5 days but I feel like that is enough to remove my email address from their system.

I would not recommend it.

Points expire faster than they can be earned

January 13, 2014 by Tiffany from United States

Toluna was a great service a few years ago. I was able to earn up to $60 a month.
Then they changed format and earnings became so slow that they were expiring faster than I could earn enough for a pay out.
Points expire 12 months after earning them, so that really says something.
