In early 2010 I was subscribed and received surveys about once a week. I had a membership through October and I was starting to build a nice number of points. Then, I went on vacation and somehow was “unsubscribed” while I had no access to the internet. They wouldn’t reactivate my account because it is against their “policy”. This was their error and they took no accountability for it.

I had been with Ipsos for a couple of years now. Well during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday I noticed that I wasn’t getting any surveys in my email. I went to the site to check on my points and see if there were any surveys there. There wasn’t and what with being busy with the holidays I didn’t go back to check until after New Years. When I tried to log in to my account it said that my account had been deactivated. I had saved enough points to redeem for $250 so I was not happy that I had my account deactivated. I contacted them and they are trying to claim that I opted out of my account in November. Well I know that I never did and now all of my points are lost. Why would I have opted out without redeeming $250 worth of points? I’ve read that this has happened to other people as well. Beware of suddenly getting kicked out if you save up too many points.

Update: I just recently got things cleared up with Ipsos. It took a few emails back and forth, but my account was restored and my points reinstated. They claim that either I unsubscribed from the site or just stopped answering surveys. I know that I didn’t so that was not the case. So I’m not sure what happened. I’m glad my points have been reinstated, but I am leery that something like this will happen again, so I will no longer be letting my points build up so much.

I’ve been with them for about 6 months, taking about every survey that was sent to me. Sometimes you find out you don’t qualify for a survey 20 minutes into it! I kept checking my account to see if I had accumulated any points. Barely anything! I have $2.40 in my account, which can’t even buy the cheapest reward. What a waste of hours and hours of my time.

I have received a LOT of survey invitations from this company- often 5 a day. Unfortunately, they do not prescreen well enough, and I end up disqualifying from most. The ones that I do qualify for tend to be low rewards. For instance, a 20 minute survey usually gives 45 points ($0.45 USD).

I did receive ONE survey which actually paid 1100 points ($11.00) all by itself, which was nice. But as I said, most surveys have been very low point values.

They do give rewards on a tiered system based on how many surveys you complete in a year. In my case, I have completed 50 surveys, so I received a total of 375 bonus points, which equals $3.75. (25 points after 5 surveys, plus 50 points after 10, plus 100 points after 25 surveys, plus 200 points after 50 surveys). Unfortunately, this bonus survey count resets at the end of each calendar year, so you start over from the beginning. They used to have additional loyalty rewards (such as a reward for every year that you stayed with the company), but they have discontinued these.

I have earned $50 total since joining in January 2011… so, about $5 per month. Not great, especially considering I have completed over 50 surveys (and disqualified from at least twice that number) in that time. Adding in bonuses and everything, I earned less than $1 per survey completed. And if you figure the amount of time spent, (including disqualifications), it averages considerably less than minimum wage. I am certain that I have spent more than 5 hours a month on their site, so that would end up being a dollar an hour.

You *are* able to cash out for a variety of things. I have opted for Amazon.com gift cards. This usually takes at least 4-6 weeks to process. Other options include having a check mailed to you, which is supposed to take longer.

Summary: They do pay, but not very highly. Overall, not the best use of time. I would not recommend, and will probably be cancelling my account after I reach the next payout threshold. On the other hand, if you are in one of their target demographics and receive a lot of high paying surveys that you do qualify for, it might work for you.

I joined Ipsos at the beginning of this month and have a total of 1980 points. They have plenty of surveys to take daily. I get e-mails every time a new survey is available. 100 points equals $1.00. Most surveys I get are 90 points for around 20 minutes which isn’t that great of pay for my time, but the number of surveys I get a day are plenty so those 90 points add up quick. I usually can’t get to their surveys right away and I have noticed that usually their surveys stay open for about 1-3 days. Also most of their surveys don’t time out, so I take breaks while doing their surveys. The horrid OTX surveys are on this site too, but Ipsos uses OTX as a screening process. If I qualify then I am brought back to Ipsos site to take the survey. The points are usually added automatically when I complete a survey, but occasionally some survey points are added a few days later. When I don’t qualify for a survey 5 points are added to my account. I get surveys about the various products I buy, ranging from food to make-up to body wash.

When it’s time to cash out they have gift cards for Amazon and American Express starting at $10. They also have cash (sent as a check) that starts at $15. You can cash in your points to give to a charity too. I haven’t cashed out yet but on their website it’s say it takes 5-8 weeks to receive your money, and this is the only negative I have about this site. Of all the survey companies I am a part of, Ipsos is the longest wait by far. But this one negative is balanced by the positives. The pros are alerting me when there are new surveys, a decent window of time to take the surveys, frequent number of surveys to take, rarely getting disqualified, and having the survey points added to your account within a few days. I would definitely recommend Ipsos.

I have been with them for a little over the year now, and I am PLEASED! I have yet to cash out as I am saving for the big one. Even if I don’t qualify for a survey I still get points which is a bonus. I love playing their poll predictor game, you get points depending on how close to the answer, and you can use these points to enter different draws. Very HAPPY, HIGHLY recommended!

I have been a member for a couple years now, I don’t always qualify for the surveys but they always reward 5 points for the few minutes it takes to enter my demographic info. I’ve always cashed out my points, never done the gift card thing and it usually takes about 3 weeks to receive my check in the mail. I’ve done product testing at home. And have gotten huge points for qualifying for certain surveys, I had one early on that was an on-going survey run independently by a pharmaceutical company where I was originally screened by Ipsos.
I think it gives back what you are willing to put into it. Many of the surveys are only open for a certain time period so it helps to save the emails and sit down to go through them a day or so after receiving the email. Or you can log into your account to see what you have open.

This site… my friends.. is absolutely amazing. I joined a little over a year ago and have cashed out 25 dollars cash, 50 dollars in amazon gift cards… and that is me not even being an active member for the whole time. Let me tell you:

The surveys are great. I almost always qualify for them. They have a lot of interactive surveys.. you know… not your plain old pages and pages of boring questions.

They also have a great game after the survey called Poll Predictor where you guess what percentage of men, women, or both has done whatever they ask. The closer you are to the answer the more points you get to put into a drawing to win prizes. I have never won one of those sweepstakes prizes but they do have a winning area on their site to see who one each time.

Even the user interface on their site is great. Really neat looking.

Anyways.. this is by far one of my favorite survey companies.. and I would recommend anyone to give it a try.

Ive been a member for a cou[le of years now and have never had any problems with the surveys or payout although it would be great if I could receive more surveys I could earn a lot more..

I am involved with quite a few survey companies and I really like this one because it gives you the chance to give your opnion and also the last question is fun because you see how close you come to the correct answer with your prediction.

I have been a member of Ipsos for about 10 months and I have been very pleased. The frequency of surveys is among the best, usually receiving 3 per day on average. Most surveys pay out either 45 (45 cents) points or 90 but you do get a few for a 150. The surveys are very reasonable in length most are in the 20 minute range. Ipsos offers many different reward options such as gift cards and cash in the form of a check. The minimum cash out is $15 or 1500 points and checks usually take 3 weeks to arrive. The account page is very well designed, easy to use, tracks your surveys very thoroughly. For all those looking for a steady paying site with great reward options, then Ipsos is a must join.

Ipsos I-say is my favorite survey site. The surveys are interesting and fun, and they sometimes even send you surveys in the mail to do. I’ve been a member for over a year and i cash out at least once a month with the american express gift cards. I et at least 5 surveys a week to do and compensation is great. I’ll be sticking with this site.

The surveys tend to be lengthy and the rewards are minimal

I’ve been a member about 18 months. I really didn’t understand how it worked at first, but then again, I think it has been revamped in the past few months. I have cashed out two $10 Amazon cards, and am on my way to a third one. All these points have been accumlated in the past 6 months. As they say right on the website YOU WILL NOT GET RICH DOING THESE SURVEYS. However, as someone who enjoys filling out onlines surveys, getting paid with Amazon gift cards makes it worth my while. Also, I wrote to customer service asking what I was accumulating points FOR, and they very kindly pointed me to the rewards page and explained it to me. I am an “older” person, so I don’t always pick up on things, but I was impressed with their customer service. Lastly, as someone else stated, its nice to get some points even if you don’t qualify for the survey. Thanks.

I enjoy the surveys and since they have done some updating I am receiving more surveys more often, and their points system has really upgraded. I am really happy with Ipsos I-say panel and I will stay with them.

I just saw think link on their member’s facebook page – they gave away a car and apparently this is the third time they’ve done something like this! Thought I would share the link

They seem to have been making a lot of changes to their website and their points system lately. I just found out that they now offer Amazon and charity donations as rewards. Seems pretty cool. They also sent me a survey recently where they were asking what kind of rewards I wanted and so far it looks like they are listening!

I am very disappointment about ipsos.I joined the survey site in 2009.At the beginning they sent me serveral surveys a week,I easily reached the payment requirement and cash out with amazon gc(I think they dont use amazon gc now).After i requested the payment they never sent a new survey invite to me just like i was not a member.I sent email for support and no response.I dont know what happened but it is not my fault.
They paid low rates for surveys and bad support.It is not a good site for me.
