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.

Payment and Rewards

How to Redeem Points

Upon joining and completing surveys and participating in games and other point-awarding activities, you will be credited with points. Once you have earned a minimum of 30,000 points ($10.00 worth), you can redeem your points for a selection of prizes.

Toluna Influencers offers an extensive rewards catalog. When you're ready to request a cash out from your Toluna Influencers account, click the Rewards button and choose from a wide variety of options:

  • PayPal payments - with 65,000 points in your account, you can request a $20.00 PayPal cash payment.
  • e-Gift cards - choose from a wide variety of digital gift cards, including Amazon, Boston Pizza, Apple, Starbucks, and many more. Gift cards can be redeemed with as few as 30,000 points ($10.00).
  • 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.

Rewards Processing Times

Upon requesting a reward, it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be delivered. All rewards are digital in nature (PayPal or bitcoin cash and e-gift cards), so ensure you monitor your inbox closely after requesting a reward to ensure you don't miss it!

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.

Irritating !

May 13, 2014 by Tony from United States

Site sends surveys over and over. If I do not do a survey or quit, there is a reason. I quit and a half hour or so later the site interrupts what I am doing to get me to finish the survey. I have to stop and cancel the damn thing. They invite me to a survey many times, then say it's not available, then direct me to another survey that I have either already taken or quit because it's not applicable or whatever. I do not qualify enough either. Updating with more complaints. Today I got a survey that asked for a website I used for shopping. I gave them this and they said it was not a legit site. I even added the http in. Since there are frequently no good ways to complain on sites themselves, I am p*ssed enough to mention it here. So of course I just quit the survey. Even when they have NO new surveys for one to try, they STILL interrupt a half hour or so later with a notice to complete the survey. What someone else said in their review about "bait and switch" is true. They invite you to a survey that sounds interesting, then say sorry that's not available but here's another one, and it's frequently one I have not chosen to do because it's not applicable to me.

Another Rip Off Company

May 10, 2014 by Matt from Australia

This one disappointed me as I was always flooded with surveys, but their payout was almost sad. I wasn't going to do a 30 minute survey for $2. Not when other companies would offer $3 or more. It's payout system is similar to pureprofile's, where, again you have to wait ages to get your rewards.

good site

May 8, 2014 by kiran from India

Good incentives options. And good service from the site.

Get prizes, make friends

April 24, 2014 by ken from United States

I've been a member on Toluna for 4 years now, and I can say that the community is excellent. I have made good friends on the site and it's a great way for me to express myself in my free time.

Of course, let's not forget about the surveys and the cashout - the reason many people join Toluna and other sites like this. On one hand, I really like the rewards they offer, my favorite being Paypal and Amazon. However I do wish they would lower the amount of points needed so we can cash out more often. I hope to see more positive changes with their rewards like we saw with their latest site changes.

Toluna: Road to acceptance

April 14, 2014 by gary from United Kingdom

Ok, I'll say it upfront - Toluna is a fun, interactive and ultimately rewarding survey panel.

The challenge is that to see Toluna positively, you need to find a way to accept it for all of its faults. And the road to acceptance, like most such roads, takes you on an emotional journey. You will experience:

Denial - surely they can't pay out so little per survey minute?

Anger - why haven't they credited my points?

Denial (again) - my points can't really expire can they?

Bargaining - if I can just get enough points and get my first payout I'll quit Toluna

Depression - my voucher will never arrive ....

But your first voucher from Toluna does eventually arrive.

And by the time it does, you'll have forgotten about your bargain and be well on your way to your next payout (in your head that is, not on your points counter).

Maybe you are taking delight from finding occasional survey gems and product tests. Maybe you are interacting with the Toluna community and are taking part in quick votes, topics, battles etc.

Whatever you are doing, however you are doing it; or, whether it's just the sheer relief of getting your first Toluna payout .... either way you are on the road to acceptance.
