I joined this company 2-3 years ago. Their surveys are interesting, not too long and easy to follow, but their rewards are below standard. I don't like the point system they have, it takes too long to earn enough for a $5 gift certificate. I may get 2-3 surveys a month, if that many and I don't usually qualify, for some reason. I've tested products a few times, usually paper towel, but not often. If you are in the perferred age range they are looking for, this is probably a good company for you. I'm just wasting my time.

I am very disappointment about ipsos.I joined the survey site early 2009.At the beginning they sent me serveral surveys a week,I easily reached the payment requirement and cash out with amazon gc.After i requested the payment they never sent a new survey 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.I is not my type site.

I have been a member of Ipsos i-Say Survey Panel since July, 2008. They send me surveys at least 2-3 times a week. For taking their surveys they award us with Points, ranging from 4 Points to sometimes 20 Points or more. We can redeem our Points for Merchandise, enlisted in their site or for Gift Certificates (where $10 = 100 Points). They also send us Products for Home Testing as well. I almost always qualify for all of their surveys, and have so far have earned 750 Points (equivalent to $75) in my Account. I have already redeemed most of the Points for Merchandise, as well as Gift Certificates. I love doing their surveys. At the end of each survey we qualify they let us play the Poll Predictor game and enter our names for the Sweepstakes. We really do earn from this Panel, and that too for free. I definitely recommend all eligible people to join Ipsos i-Say Survey Panel and take advantage of their surveys, since there is nothing to lose here. Further, their surveys do not take much time to complete as they are mostly short ones.

Overall I have a good experience answering surveys but find I don't qualify for all the points because of the field I work in

The Ipsos survey site offers points for completing surveys, and lets you redeem your points for gift certificates or merchandise once you have at least 50 points (which is equal to $5). I don't receive survey invitations very often, but I qualify for most of the surveys I am invited to. All of the surveys I have gotten were for 8 points (equal to $.80) or fewer, so compensation for each survey is not very high. In the four months I have been a member, I have accumulated 32 points, so I have yet to qualify for a reward. However, the rewards site looks like it has a good selection of gift cards for literally hundreds of places such as department stores, beauty stores, catalogs, amusement parks, and more. Maybe others would have more luck with getting high-paying surveys, but so far this site doesn't seem to be as well worth my time as other survey sites.

Ispos was the very first survey site I joined a year and a half ago. They had fabulous and fun surveys. But, once I found actual cash-paying survey companies, I canceled my membership with them. A few months ago I read they were changing the way they paid out on surveys, so I decided to rejoin. Sadly, I have to agree with others...ispos is a complete waste of time. It takes way too long to accumulate points and I never once have won a drawing. So, once again, I am canceling my membership and putting them behind me.

Since I posted my last review on this company in March, I haven't received any further cash payments from I-Say and having switched to their new points system, I think it's safe to assume I won't receive anymore. Like some of the other recent reviewers, I think this company has turned into a complete waste of time. I have completed around 30 surveys and most of those only pay around 1-3 points (usually 1 point for me since I don't qualify for around half the surveys) and the prizes themselves require, on average, about 250 points! With that in mind, it'll take me about another 2 1/2 years or so to save up enough points to get a clock radio! Here as of late I haven't been paid at all for at least a couple of the surveys I've completed, which is totally unfair given the amount of time invested in them! Needless to say, I'm going to give up those 20 points and withdraw from this panel. For those who are contemplating joining I-Say, I would strongly suggest you not waste your time and look into the others. There are far better choices of survey panels out there and most of these will reward you more fairly than this panel.

Although the quality of surveys is above average with this company, I think this company has turned into a waste of time. They just moved to their new points system, instead of just earning entries into sweepstakes, but your time is rewarded with so few points that it will take me at least 10-20 hours worth of survey taking to redeem for a $5-10 gift card to somewhere of my choice. Their rewards list is long, but you have to have so many points to get even a $5 reward that I think it's a waste of time.

Before I found this website, I thought Ipsos was great. Then once I found real survey sites, I realized that never getting anything for your surveys is really a waste of time! I have never won anything with their instant games and never won any sweepstakes. I stopped filling out surveys there and I recommend that you never waste your time with them.

I’ve been a member of this site for a long time, and the outcome isin’t great. Horrible in fact. You get a survey about every week, which is nice, and some surveys are interesting to finish, but the rewards are where it chokes up. The compensation is I-tickets and an instant win game. I’ve yet to see a paying survey, so your reward is always based on chance. HOWEVER, you still get the basically same reward for not qualifying for surveys. For instance, if a survey offered 20 I-tickets, and you didn't qualify, they would still give you an instant win game and 10-15 I-tickets. If this isin't strange enough, they also have what's called the VIP club, which tells you if you become a VIP you can win a car. Yet, there's no actual instructions on how to become one, or who actually is. For people who love a chance to win something without acutally filling out a survey (on a survey site,) this ones for you. Actual people looking to get paid, though, stay far away.

I have been a member of this site for quite a few months now. I must say that I am unhappy with this site. The quality of surveys are good. They are easy to take and are sometimes on interesting topics. I tend to get about 1-2 survey invitations a week. They problem is with their compensation. They reward you with i-tickets that you can distribute between different prizes. They do not let you know when the drawings for those prizes will be. You have no idea if the prize you want is for that month or in six months. It is very confusing. I have never seen a survey that pays cash. I don't mind drawings if they are clear and up front with how often they choose winners. The website says monthly, but if you look at previous months winners there are only 2. There are 12 prizes that you can allocate your tickets for. So what happens to those prizes? When do they draw for them? Again, they are not clear about how their system works. I won't be wasting my time with them anymore. I can not comment on timeliness of payment because there is no payment. The member area is lacking since it does not do a good job explaining how their compensation truly works. They gloss over the general idea, but never talk about the specifics.

I have been a member of Ipsos for about 3 months now and I have gotten to a point (and very quickly I might add), that I won't complete any more of their surveys. I just won't waste my time. The only surveys I have ever received are for Sweepstakes entries. I have not once received a cash paying survey. Plus, the length of the surveys seem to be unusually long for only one little sweepstakes entry. At least let me accumulate points to be redeemed. Something! I don't have any experience with their support area, so I cannot comment on that. As for timeliness of payment, well there is no payment, and I don't know of anyone personally that has won one of their sweepstakes! There are many wonderful survey companies out there that are fair in their compensation for time spent. Ipsos is definitely not one of those sites.

Ipsos is a survey company i'am very unhappy with. The surveys are few and each survey you get, you are entered into a sweepstake drawing, of which i have never won in the year i have been with them. I have never been offered a cash reward for any of the surveys. Customer service is horrible, never a response to any of my emails. If you want to join a survey company without any compensation and only sweepstake entries. then this is for you. I do not feel Ipsos is all it is cracked up to be!
