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.

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.

I signed up for Survey Police to Complain about Toluna

March 22, 2014 by Tammy from United States

Like others are saying, it is extremely suspect to me that after spending 20 minutes completing a survey for Toluna, I'm either mysteriously thrown out of the survey, or I don't qualify. How is that? I think after you answer 3 or 4 qualifiers at the start of the survey, and then are taken to the survey, that you should have qualified. Don't take me to the survey, record my answers for 20 minutes and then say I don't qualify. Nope. I've learned my lesson with them, and will never complete another survey for them. This has happened to me too many times with them to be a coincidence.

End of List

March 7, 2014 by T from United States

It's easy to see why Toluna is at the end of the list of recommendations for survey sites. Having only been with the site less than a month, I have since closed my account. In several communications with Customer Service there replies were rude and condescending commits. In so... much as advising for me to be "honest" with my profile information. WHAT?! Please explain why anyone would lie about there profile! Aside from that, many surveys requested that I place my teenager at the computer to complete the survey. WHAT?! I opened the account for myself not my teenager. I would highly advise to stay away from Toluna.

Why does everyone complain about Toluna?

March 5, 2014 by Steph from United States

A lot of people complain about Toluna, but I like it! They have a fun community with lots of contests too, so you can earn points. It can take a while to earn points for surveys but they have lots of cheap rewards that you get quickly. I was able to get a $10 gift card for Best Buy and a $5 one for Starbucks last week and they delivered them in 1 day! Can’t wait to get more rewards from this site.

You Poor Suckers

March 3, 2014 by Fred from Australia

Lucky, i only joined this pathetic site 2 weeks ago. I was bombarded with surveys, thinking wow, this is good, after all i was going to get paid. I mean look at all these points, I must be making heaps! ... WRONG!!! 3000 points = $1.00Au After 2 weeks i'd scrounged up a whole $2.40Au Plus the pending garbage, (whatever!) Anyway something made me really sus, I done a survey on another site call it "X" and it was worth $10Au to me for about 15 mins, The very next day Toluna invited me to a survey, as it started a logo of site "X" popped up, it was the exact same survey i done the night B4. "X" must have outsourced it to fill the quota? Here is the laughable bit, Toluna offered 5000 dumbo points = $1.66Au, That says it all folks, I started "scam hunting" Toluna, schoschie, had a good review! Thx to all your many wise words, hope my insight helps someone else too!

Waste of time and unethical

March 2, 2014 by Maria from Mexico

They take your personal information and kick you off the survey before you can complete it but after a good 10 minutes or so of answering questions.
