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.

used to be good

August 19, 2013 by george from United States

This site used to be useful. I still use them when I get a worthwhile survey. It does take forever, as I have inquired numerous time of an ongoing project that I get invited to monthly and have not seen a penny for since March. Their customer service section is useless and should not even be called service, they had the nerve to tell me to wait longer when I have not seen credit since March. It is now August

Best

August 15, 2013 by Malcolm from United Kingdom

Best site going I think plenty of surveys and get to cash out about once a month wide range of surveys and get lots of free products to trial only problem is their very slow payout method. Plus you get a good forum to winge and criticise on about any subject you like

it takes forever

August 3, 2013 by debra from United States

to reach cash out takes months, and when you do, it is only $20... waste of time....

Middle of the road site

July 29, 2013 by Chris from United States

I just cashed out a $20 paypal payment from this site 2 weeks ago for the 3rd time since I've been a member. I qualify for most of the surveys sent to me, but it does take a lot of them to hit the 60000 points you need. What helps me the most is doing the bigger diaries they occasionally have. I did one where I tested different fragrances and received 28,500 points. So, product testing, if you are selected, is a good way to do it. The 2 week beer diary is a good one that will give you some bigger points. I received my cash within a few days from them, so I give them credit for payouts. No issues there.

Toluna Could Be Much Better

July 28, 2013 by Tristan from Canada

There are better panels than Toluna, but they seem decent if only it's because they run an active community on their site. The interactivity they provide between members is likely what brings me back on more occasions than not. It's fun creating polls, asking questions and getting responses there. I will give Toluna that, because that is what makes the site adequately enjoyable to be on.

Now as for the site as a whole when it relates to taking surveys and getting compensated, I don't like the fact that they have the surveys you complete placed on the pending list for so long. I don't like that points have to expire in 12 months after you are credited them. I don't like that the minimum points redeemable for cash is set at 60,000, which will take forever for me and likely many others to reach. They have to fix their so called policies and remind their members that they care about their time and efforts by lowering the survey crediting wait times and payout/points minimum.

I give this panel a 3, but they could easily become one of the best if they'd just become more user-friendly and make it just a little simpler to get the points required to cashout. Instead, people may accumulate the acquired points once and then quit due to how long the same process would take to accomplish again.
