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

  • 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.

Don't waste your time!

October 5, 2018 by George from Canada

They have been going downhill fast for about a year. Here is their new strategy.
1)They offer you a survey (often 30-40 minutes long) when you get to the last page and submit your completed survey, they redirect you to a generic page indicating "It's not you, it's us. An error occurred with the survey loading. Please try again later."
2) When you submit a ticket to them, with screenshots, they refuse to credit your points indicating that you started the survey but did not complete it.
3) They they take your information,sell it to the survey supplier, and keep the money for themselves. There are many Better Business Bureau complaints on but they just don't care. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM.

Don't seem to want to pay out anymore

September 24, 2018 by John from United States

This used to be a good site. It's really bad now. Last payout I actually got was for a target gift card. Next time I accumulated enough points to cash out, Target was gone from options. No big deal, they have a right to change the prizes they offer it they want. I did some more surveys and accumulated enough points for a $25 Lowes gift card. I cashed in. It looked like it worked. Came back a week later and it said my redemption was cancelled. I never cancelled it, they must have. They have very few options available any more. They take your surveys but won't pay out when your due. Makes me believe they are winding down business or are just trying to take in money from their clients for surveys without paying survey takers. Zero stars.

Worthless Survey

September 19, 2018 by Nigel from United States

I just registered with them via prizerebel and now it's telling me I have an invalid e-mail address and locked me out of my account.

Waiting for Payout AGAIN

September 14, 2018 by Betsy from United States

Reached 95,000 points August 22. Site says 1 to 3 weeks for $30.00 payout! I have checked every day and see "Processing"! E-mailed after one week and was told to refer to payout rules information. I've waited and after three weeks, still no payout! I sent another e-mail reopening my first question and was told it is still processing! I sent another e-mail and asked for a time estimate. Reply I received was "Paypal" requests would be done on a first come first serve basis! They are great at not answering in specifics! I had several technical issues in the month of August which I had to keep contacting them and FINALLY received credit for two surveys which they originally denied. I save all my screenshots for this reason. I lost 12,000 points for their "60 Minute Lifestyle" survey that took me over two hours! I've never received an answer about that! I hope someone at Toluna has an answer for the present PayPal issue!

Don't Bother!

August 16, 2018 by Karen from United States

I recently joined, thought I'd give it a try. It seemed to me that I completed surveys and had points "pending" but never received. A few days ago I saw a survey for 40 minutes for 2500 points. I was bored so I took it. First of all, it took WAAAY longer than that, but once you're in you hate to just stop. So I get to the very end. It says thank you for all your time (or something like that) please click to submit. When I do, suddenly it tells me I have been screened out. What? So I write to them, and two days later they said they investigated.

Here is their response: We reviewed your survey activity for 14-15 August and found that in that period you took one survey: 1512262-US (for 2,500 points, estimated length: 40 minutes). Unfortunately your participation was terminated after 77 minutes. If you are screened out none of the data you have previously entered is saved and hence we are not benefiting from any of the surveys which you are screened out nor from any questions you may have answered prior to a screen out. The information is only saved on completion of the survey when you reach the "Finish" button in which case you will also be credited for.

If a member does not meet the qualifications, she or he will still be rewarded an entry to our daily lottery, where a member can win 1 million points. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Carrie Summer

Yeah, right. I terminated my account immediately. Life is too short for me to be that "understanding". I DID hit the finish button. They just didn't want to pay me.
