Toluna: Brand New Community Site
19. Your2Cents $90 (Minimum pay out: 60,000 points or $20) (Joined: 2008-03-01) (product tests) ($90 rec’d)
Toluna has been very consistent in sending me $1 to $6 surveys, many of which I qualify for. I have earned $90 from them since March 1, 2008. You get a $1 bonus for filling out each of the 13 profiles, which are credited as soon as you complete your first survey. There is a $20 minimum cash out (60,000 points) and they do not currently offer PayPal. Occasionally they will send you a free product test. They also have quarterly $5000 sweepstakes drawings.
Toluna’s new site now offers a community experience that allows us to earn points by giving 80-word opinions (100 points), taking polls (15 points) and also by creating polls and opinion questions. There are also sponsored surveys that are worth 120 to 300 points. You receive 500 points for referring a friend.
Toluna acquired Your2Cents earlier this year and is set to acquire Greenfield Online January 4, 2010 so we are not yet certain what the future holds.

Slow but OK
I used to like your2cents a lot better, now I get these emails from toluna. Don’t really care for it since the change. They points you need to cash out are high, and take a long time to achieve $10 bucks. I still do the surveys from time to time, usually on weekends if I am a bit bored. The surveys themselves are good, I just like to see my time and opinions being paid for a bit more. Would recommend this one more than some of the others though!

Very steady/positive site
Toluna was introduced to me because I had been a member of your 2 cents with whom they merged with. My overall experience with Toluna has been very positive. Toluna offers survey for points. A member will receive instant win emails stating that a survey is available usually for a $1-$3 prize amount and sometimes a $2-$5 amount. I was successful in completing many of these surveys. Also i am able to take sponsored polls and give opinions in 80-100 words for points. The points add up very quickly as they consistently offer many surveys.
Customer service is really good. They always get back to you within 3-7 days and work hard to answer your questions.
In January 2010 Toluna merged with Greenfield so I am not sure how this is going to affect the Toluna site. Since the merger the one negative I’ve noticed is that I no longer
receive instant win emails. A positive is if you go on their site you can take a number of surveys but they are now mostly in the 900-1500 point level which is equal to about 25-50 cents since 3,000 points equal $1.00. I am still forming my opinion to Toluna since the merger.
If Toluna stays consistent the way they were before their merger with Greenfield then I would definetly recommend this site as one of the premier survey sites to belong to.

I CAN ALMOST GAURANTEE YOU THAT I ONLY GET TO DO I IN 10 SURVEYS. I AM ALWAYS DISQUALIFED. WHY TAKE ALL MY INFORMATION TO RECEIVE MORE SURVEYS WHEN THEY BARELY USE ME. THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AND CERTAINLY DOESN’T HELP ME GET POINTS.
I GET PLENTY OF SURVEYS, THAT IM NOT QUALIFED FOR. THANKS FOR LISTENING

Don't take their Surveys
Toluna is a rip off. They recently joined with that awful survey group, Greenfield
{
and things went from bad to worse.
You will complete a whole survey with Toluna and then get an ERROR message,
so they will get all the survey info from you, but won’t have to pay for any of it.
Another one of their tactics is to let you take the WHOLE survey and when you
click the SUBMIT your survey button, a screen pops up saying they’ve met their quota already. They get a full survey out of you either way and do not pay you.
And you can’t get any help from their “customer support” .
I’ve written them several times trying to resolve these survey ‘error’ problems.
Oh and when they recently joined up with Greenfield , they upped your cash
out level to 60,000 points. So you now need 60,000 points ($20) to cash out.
I did cash out right after Toluna joined up with Greenfield and made the changes
to their point system. Got paid through paypal with no problems.
But I stopped taking surveys for them back in early Jan 2010 because
of all the survey errors and them not resolving the problems.
There are a lot of other legitmate survey site out there , sign up with them
but stay away from Toluna!
They send you an auto reply but never resolve your problem.
