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.

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.

Slow accummulating points, but OK

July 26, 2013 by Cynthia from United States

Update: Recently increased cashout from 60K points ($20) to 75K ($25). I recently filed several support cases totaling about 34K points, for which I was credited worthless sweepstakes entries. 3 were denied & I intend to appeal because they are in error; the 28K-plus one was a 4-wk daily diary, and is pending.
Toluna is far from he best panel, but also far from the worst. It's a survey 'broker', not an actual research company. Many survey invites with frequent screenouts & "redirects"; many surveys are repetetive. The "sponsored" mini-surveys have small point values, but are automatic & do add up. I keep track of completed surveys by date & number & check point balance a couple of times a week. Customer service for errors is slow & varies in effectiveness. Check payments usually arrive in about 3 weeks.

THEY MUST BE JOKING

July 25, 2013 by Dana from United States

THEY USED TO BE OKAY ALTHOUGH IT TAKES FOREVER TO CASH OUT,MUST BE BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE SENDING THE SAME 3 SURVEYS OVER AND OVER AND OVER.WASTE OF TIME

Total Waste of Time!

July 25, 2013 by Gloria from United States

I read the reviews other people have posted about spending a lot of time doing a survey to be disqualified, this is so very true! Also your points will expire after a year and it is extremely difficult to earn enough in a year to cash out! I say Stay Away!

Don't bother.

July 20, 2013 by Kristopher from United States

I have been ripped off 3 times this week. About an hour and a half I won't get back. They will ask you a few question like age race sex then have you start survey. After you complete it the will as you more qualification questions like average household incom, zip code THEN throw you out after you wasted 30 minutes. I don't know if they are rip off artist that use the data and don't want to pay or just stupid and won't ask the qualification questions FIRST. Don't be surprised if you complete a survey on feminine products and they ask your sex at the end. Males just wasted your time that's the stupid things they do. I just completed a cell phone survey. Then in the sleazy Toluna fashion they ask more "Qualification questions" About the fifth one was do you have a credit card? I answered yes and the screen read Thank You! That's all the questions we have for you today you will be redirected. Next screen out of the blue You did not qualify for this survey. Is it that after you answer all the cell phone questions age,race,sex,location they don't want the opinions of people with credit cards?
