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.

Slow to get points, decent prizes

April 5, 2016 by Jen from United States

I've never had my account revoked, after seeing all the reviews about that, I'm a little worried now lol. I have had a few instances where I was never awarded points for larger surveys, or I would get to the end of a survey that I supposedly qualified for to be told that I did not meet the criteria when 30 seconds ago I just did. Some of the points do not match up for time lengths, like 35 minute studies for 2000 points, but you can obviously skip over those. I have been trying desperately to test products and it seems no matter when I respond to them, I never get to test anymore, so I wish they had more open opportunities for that. The prizes are pretty decent, but it is a little high in points to get them *ie a $25 starbucks gift card is 75000 points* but other than that I think they are pretty good.

Also "Blocked"

March 25, 2016 by Sharon from United Kingdom

I have also been blocked by this site for breaching their T&Cs. When I tried to find out the actual reason they sent me a link to their T&Cs. They are an absolute disgrace so join at your peril as you will waste a lot of time on here. I did get my vouchers I had ordered with a letter saying "can't wait to see you at Toluna.com", although I did have a lot of points pending which I have lost out on. Not happy at all

No better now than it was a year ago

March 24, 2016 by cathy from United States

One of the saddest survey spots I ever visited. Robbed me of all my acquired points when I was hospitalized. Just completed a prelude to 10,000 point product survey. Filled out, said I was was selected. Typed in my address and told me I did not qualify.

Also banned!

March 24, 2016 by Frank from United States

Not sure whats going on with Toluna - I've also been banned for allegedly violating there T&C.

When I challenged them I just got "Your account has been flagged multiple times by our clients because the data they received was considered not applicable."

I replied saying "not applicable" could simply mean I did not meet criteria, and if it had been flagged multiple times why did they not query before

More rubbish "The fact that our clients have found that your answers are not in concordance with the requirements of their studies is considered an abuse. "

So I gave up & asked them to pay what I had earned. Nope! "I have checked and according to our data base you have no outstanding rewards. All the rewards you have requested have been processed before your account was blocked.Please know that the account cannot be reopened."

Well last time I was able to log on I had over $25 owing - so anyone who's still a member make sure you redeem rewards in case you also get banned.

So far so good!

March 22, 2016 by Sue from Singapore

I didn't have problem with Toluna since I got all my vouchers within 5 weeks as they promised. First two month I got 100,000 pts. The only problem is that I can't get so many surveys as before, I am not sure whether I can get 20,000 pts per month from now on.
