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.

Toluna needs more love

February 9, 2017 by Julie from Canada

My favorite survey site!
The only complaint I would have is that they remove some of your points after a certain time frame? It happened to me when I was relatively new to the site, and hadn't been on there for at least a several weeks, which I guess is fair game. It hasn't happened to me since so I'm not sure if they only do that to new users or perhaps not even do that anymore.
Anyway, having to earn 60,000 points for a cash out might seem like an outrageous amount, but the points accumulate quickly. They seem to offer a few surveys every day, which are usually around a couple thousand of points each, and I'm usually not screened out from those. The surveys are also NOT ridiculously long, which makes it even better.
I also like that you can create and answer other people's polls or just share your opinions, giving the site a community feel. And some of those polls will reward you 15 points, which seem to be sprinkled around the board so it can be easy to make over 100 points just by answering those polls!
As for pay out, it seems to take a week to get into PayPal, which I find to be acceptable.
While you probably won't get a cash out every single day, it's a fun site!

Toluna has a lot of surveys.It's like unli-surveys.So if you finished one survey,there's other survey to have. You can earn points like 2500 immediately. The rewards are really good also because your points can become gifties.

Toluna is better than most!

April 20, 2016 by Michael from United Kingdom

I find Toluna to be the best site I am a member of & their rewards are varied & pretty good compared to a lot of them, I have been with them for a few years now & have had many payouts from vouchers to cash payments to paypal, though it can take some time to receive depending how far you are in the queue!

A quote from Liz of United States>
...I start a survey. I spend 20-30 min on the survey. I am close to the end of the survey. Survey say "quota filled". I am sent back to the homepage and not even one point is awarded. I am convinced they get all of the information and then disgustingly turn you away after they get what they want without having to give you a single point.> This has also happened to me, not just on Toluna, I have complained to them & to their credit they normally sort out any issues fairly quickly & I have been awarded 'Good will gesture points' & apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I do believe all survey sites use 'tricks of the trade' to get what they want from you without reward, maybe because the company or organisation tendering the surveys out are not offering sufficient funds to them to pay participants.

As for not being able to complete surveys due to 'Quota full' that is always a possibility as many people could have submitted theirs while you are taking it & the number of participants has been reached, frustrating as it is, it has to be accepted, but could be looked upon as underhand tactics for reasons not to give awards & there is also a percentage of surveys you will not qualify for, for various reasons, unless you lie about everything, but they are good at spotting that, being honest & truthful to the best of your ability is best adhered to at all times for a better relationship with them, though mistakes can happen as have with me on the rare occasions!

It is advisable to take the surveys as quick as possible when they send an email notification & link to it to avoid the outcome of it being 'no longer available' or 'survey has just filled up' surveys can also be obtained via your homepage from the 'survey centre' button.
Also on Toluna, there are quick votes & quick surveys that earn points, they are not worth much, but every little helps, it also gives them an insight somehow to surveys relevant to you.
Creating good content on topics & polls used to earn extra points if deemed worthy, but they seem to have stopped that for some unknown reason!

On the whole though, I think Toluna are worthwhile sticking with & if you don't qualify for surveys, you are given entries to prize draws & sweepstakes, none of which I have won as yet!!
