I have received probably about 3-4 surveys from this company. I find it pretty hard to even qualify for most of their surveys. I posted a rating of a 4 b/c I usually do not receive a lot of surveys from this particular program but have heard a lot of others have had success for them.

I have to say that your2cents is one of my favorites. The reason being, is, that out of all of the survey companies…this one sends out the most to my inbox, weekly. I would say on average, I receive 2-3 surveys on good days, and usually receive one a day, in general. Although it may be tough, at times to qualify for all of them, there is such a large amount sent out, with different payment values, that I am able to average over $20 a month from them. Some are worth $2…and I have seen some worth over $6. Not only do you get cash, and usually paid within the month…there are also easy surveys, that aren’t tedious and long…which will gain you an entry into money drawings! I would love for payment to be instant, however, with most survey companies, it is not possible! I give this a thumbs up!

I don’t really have a lot of good things to say about this site cos I am yet to receive one invitation from them even though I joined a while ago.Again,maybe because i am located in canada,but they shouldn’t say it is open to international members unless they are ready to send out surveys to us.

This is a legit survey panel. The don’t send surveys very often but they do pay and when you cash out it takes a month to 6 weeks to recieve payment via check. When you qualify and finish a survey you become and instant winner of between $1 to $3 on most surveys. The email with detail what you can recieve. Also when you are a new panel member you recieve $1.00 for competing your profiles. You will recieve the $1 when you qualify and finish your first survey. All in all this is a great panel. The surveys are fun and usually not too lengthy. Come join us!!!

I really like Your2Cents. I’ve only been a member for 1 month, but not only have I had several surveys, I have also had a product test to complete for them. For that, I received 20 diapers to use on my daughter, and compensation of $10. The follow up survey for the $10 only took 15 minutes to complete. If you complete their member profiles, you are eligible for an extra $1 per survey you complete. Say they have 10 profiles and you complete all ten… over the course of the next 10 surveys you complete, you will receive an extra $1 on top of the survey amount. This site is one of my absolute favorites! Their surveys are interesting and never too long, plus I guess my demographic is what they are looking for, because I never have a hard time qualifying for and completing their surveys! If I haven’t already said it, I love this survey site!

I have got to be very honest about this survey company, Your2cents.
I have never received a survey that i qualify for, never.
I have ben a member for over a year now, and never qualified, strange to me.
I emailed support several times inquiring about this. but i never, ever got a response, needless to say, i am not going to be a member anymore of your2cents.

They have been a so-so site with me. I hardly ever get any surveys, not even one a month. It takes a long time to receive payment, below average in my estimation.

I have been with this company for about 4 or 5 years and they always pay promptly. Their surveys are few and far between, but it’s quality, not quantity with them. I always get paid fast in a check form.

I wish their frequency of surveys were higher, but they really are a great company.

I have been a member of this survey group for several years now. I was getting a lot of surveys but I had to take time off due to my elderly mother being in and out of the hospital. I started up again a couple of months ago. My earnings from previous were still there. I have received a check and am building my account again. This is a great survey site.

I haven’t received any surveys since I joined. They do offer bonus cash for completing profiles, which is supposed to increase the frequency of surveys. The only problem is you don’t receive the bonus cash until you complete a survey, but I haven’t gotten any surveys, so I haven’t received any compensation (regular payment or bonus cash) at all.

Maybe this one targets a different age group(under 40) or different interests, because I never qualified. So I will rate it with very poor. Let me know what you think of it.

I joined Your2Cents last September. Since then I have completed 8 surveys, and have just cashed out for a 2nd check. The total amount I have earned is $25.00. I have about 19 entries into their $5,000 giveaway. I find this site just OK, since they don’t send surveys that often, and like I have mentioned I have only qualified for 8. However, they do pay you with a check, and I received the last one within 5 weeks. Just OK !!

I have been a member of your2cents for 2 months, and in that time, I have received only 1 survey. Infact, I got it about a month and a half after I joined. I didn’t think I was ever going to get a survey. To make matters worse, I didn’t qualify. They said I would be compensated up to $3 for 20-25 minutes of my time. That would probably have been adequate if I didn’t have to wait so long, but if I’m going to receive so very few surveys, the compensation should be worth it. It just isn’t. As it stands, I can’t recommend this site to anyone.

I have been with YOUR2CENTS for over 3 years now. They allows offer $1-3 for taking surveys, but I have not gotten more than $1 for the last year now. Also, they claim on their site that you will get compensation and an entry in the cash drawing even if you don’t qualify, however, I have never been compensated for a surbey that I didn’t qualify for. As for the 20-25 minutes they claim a survey will take, FORGET IT, most take over 45 minutes due to the fact that the companies involved are trying to get you to customize their new product offerings, most often it is credit card companies.

THIS USE TO BE A GREAT SURVEY COMPANY, BUT NOW IT PRETTY MUCH HAS HIT ROCK BOTTOM! If you don’t have anything better to do with your time then I guess $1/hr is a pretty good trade-off, otherwise I would stay away from them.

I’ve been a member of Your2Cents for almost a year now, and I’ve been paid a total of $36. I get a survey invitation about once every two weeks — less frequently than most other survey sites — and qualify for the survey about half the time. Your2Cents surveys usually pay from $1-$5 each. One thing I don’t like about this survey site is that often in the survey invitation email, they give you a range for the amount you will get paid for completing the survey, instead of a definite number. For example, they usually say you will be paid “$1-$3″ for completing the survey — and you don’t get to find out which it is until you have actually completed it. This can make for a pleasant surprise if your reward turns out to be on the high end, or a disappointment if it’s on the low end. Nevertheless,all of their surveys are fairly well-compensated. Your2Cents pays by check once you have at least $5 in your account (a conveniently low payout threshold), and the check usually takes about 8 weeks to get there. My favorite thing about Your2Cents is that they pay you to complete profile questions, which are extra questions that help match you up with surveys. For each one you complete, you get a voucher for an extra dollar added to the reward you get for completing your next survey. Overall, Your2Cents is a decent survey site that pays well, although I would like to receive more survey invitations.

I’ve been a member over a year now. Don’t get a lot of surveys, but when I do I find them to be interesting and not a waste of time. Money could be a little higher, but will stay with them. They pay is in a timely manner and that’s a plus regardless of the amount paid. would recommend this site.

Been with this site about 3 months and find it so so. Qualify for less than half the surveys so reaching the minimum cash out can be kind of slow. The $1 extra you get for completing your first surveys related to your profiles is a plus. My first $10 check took about 8 weeks to arrive, a bit long IMO. Lately have gotten less invites, hope it’s not a sign of things to come.

Your2Cents Survey panel is a great legitimate Survey Panel. I have been a member of Your2Cents Survey Panel since July, 2008 and have so far have earned $165 from taking Surveys. They pay us through checks only and once we have accumulated $10 in our account, we can request for our payment.

For each survey they send us they offer a money in between $3-$5. If we successfully complete a survey as per their satisfaction we get the whole of $5, otherwise we get in between $1-$5. Further, even if we get disqualified in taking a survey our names are still entered into their Sweepstakes. They send me surveys at least once a week, and sometimes even more. I love taking their surveys, and most of the time I qualify to get $5.

They also pay us to complete our Profiles, which is a great thing. Sometimes they also send us Products for testing, which I love very much. Further, they offer Phone surveys and pay even more money for taking those surveys, to people who are real interested in taking Phone Surveys.

Anyone who is eligible should join this Survey Panel and start taking their surveys which they send through email. I would definitely recommend anybody eligible to join this legitimate Survey Panel. They really do pay us for our surveys,
and I am sure everybody would enjoy taking their surveys and getting paid for it.

19. Your2Cents $61.00 (Minimum pay out point: 30,000 points or $10)(Joined: 2008-03-01) (product trials) ($60 rec’d)

Your2Cents has been very consistent in sending me $1 to $5 surveys, many of which I qualify for. I have $61 with them since January 31, 2008. You get a $1 bonus for filling out each of the eight profiles, which are credited as soon as you complete your first survey. There is a $10 minimum cash out (30,000 points) and they do not offer PayPal. Occasionally they will send you a free product trial. They also have quarterly $5000 sweepstakes drawings.

The biggest complaints are infrequency of surveys, inability to qualify, receiving the lower amount of the range of $1 to $3 that most surveys pay and the length of time it takes for checks to arrive (about 4-8 weeks at best).

This is a survey site for young people, since my mother did not qualify. Payments are sent by check when you reach $10, but they arrive very late (8-10 weeks from the redeeming date). They promise amounts from $1 to $3 or from $2 to $5 but usually you get the lesser value that is announced before you take the survey. Support is Ok, they respond promptly but not in charge of solving your requests for checks.
What I like most is their own surveys.

Your2Cents is a good survey site. It changed its name to Toluna as you probably know of course. Its a weird name. But the site has a way better look and it looks awesome! I really enjoy the colors it has to it. The site’s compensation is good . Each survey you complete they give you about 3,000 to 6,000 points or even more which is good. But you need 30,000 points to get $10 which takes a long time because they rarely send me surveys to do. The website has more than just taking surveys now. Now you can make polls of your own. Which is kind of nice when you have nothing to do in the website. I never cashed out and I been a member for a long time now. (More than 5 months) and I still don’t have enough points to cash out! I only have 9,000 points. This survey site is good but they should give out more surveys! I do not know the timeliness of payment since I never cashed out. Well its a average site and I recommend it if they give more surveys! Thanks for reading my review.
