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.

  • PayPal payments - with 65,000 points in your account, you can request a $20.00 PayPal cash payment.

  • bitcoin - receive $30 USD in Bitcoin in exchange for 114,000 points, awarded via mybitcards.

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.

Should be ashamed

August 2, 2016 by Jodi from United States

I have been with them for years and i was recently trying to build my points in order to cash out with pay pal and then all of a sudden they took points away from me. I wasted time and energy building points and i am pissed. I am closing my account as soon as i receive 2 useless gift cards that i do not need, but i rather they did not get to keep the money. I will kiss the rest of my points good bye.

August 1, 2016 by kevin from United States

Toluna is one of the worst survey panels out there.. at first they may reward you, but as time goes on, they invoke their "one year" rule and start taking points away. The problem is, they don't wait one year. they start taking them away as soon as you get close to a threshold, so you never get there. I had cashed out last October, received payment on November 1 (at least that's the date on the stub). I was at 65,000 points or so, completed a 3000 point survey this week. Went to look to see if it was credited, the account which just the day before read 65,000 and change now read 54,000 and change with 12,000 and change deducted for no reason. They pulled the same thing last year. I have also had the experience of hitting the submit button after finishing a survey, only to get a screen popping up that the survey just filled up. Bottom line, this is a company profiting from you, with no regard for your time. It's just not right. Stay away, you are wasting your time with this site.

Decent amount of surveys and community engagement tools

July 23, 2016 by Weare from Singapore

Toluna provides a decent amount of surveys and also provide different survey tools to encourage users to create questions and engage with fellow users. User created poll/survey questions can stand to earn 100 to 500 pts each (20000 pts is 20 Singapore dollars).

The main issue with Toluna is that it takes 4-6 weeks for them to process cashouts. Which is a pain and definitely something they need to improve on. In the 2 months i've joined Toluna, i've successfully cashed out 20 dollars (took 4 weeks to deliver to my Paypal), as i'm still waiting for 40 dollars more to come in.

Cheaters!!!!!

July 15, 2016 by Tatjana from United Kingdom

Omg they deleted my account with approx 200,000 points unused because my husband has an account on their site too. That's seems to be against their rules. Two different people and two different accounts. That's approx £40!!! Wrote them for an explanation they told me they'd deleted one account because noticed I got 2 accounts on their site. Why haven't you deleted another account with a few thousands of points?!!!!! Absolute cheaters, not willing to pay I am shocked!!!! Terrible client messaging service. 1 star is too much for this review.

Termination of my account

July 14, 2016 by RICHARD from United Kingdom

For several years l have been an active member of Toluna a survey website. However around a month ago l noticed they had limited my survey to only five surveys a day while previously it was unlimited. I emailed them to request an explanation for the changes and was advised that it was down to a whole series of factors with no clear answer. I then requested if they could send me the factors which restrict my account to five surveys a day and at that point l stated that this was not mentioned in any of their T & C's, which l have to say a very comprehensive,l did not receive a reply to this email. A month later, l tried to log into my account and could not and a few hours later received an email stating due to my breaches in their Code of Conduct my account had been terminated, but no specifics were listed. I contacted them to request the breaches l had made but l have had a response with figures with no facts or basis.I feel as l have been very successful in earning rewards over the years that they have actively limited my account and when l questioned them and mentioned their T&C's they have decided to terminate my account and save themselves some money too.
