Many of you have noticed that I haven’t done my monthly Survey Summary post the last few months. I have to admit that with the holidays, surveys were just one thing I didn’t have time for. Now that it’s January, I’ve started back up and was surprised when I saw an email from Ipsos Survey Panel that reminded me it was my 1-year anniversary with them. So, I thought I would share with you my thoughts about this survey company.
***NEW*** I just noticed that all rewards are either CASH or American Express Gift Card. That is new (since the last time I looked)…so I’m really going to focus on completing these surveys!
Partial points are awarded if you don’t qualify for a survey. Many times a survey has either already filled up or I am just not who they are looking for. Routinely, I am awarded 1 point in these circumstances. Ipsos i-Say is one of the only survey companies that I’ve seen do this. Because of this, I always open their surveys and try to qualify.
Redeeming Points:
You can redeem your reward points with Ipsos i-Say in one of two ways:
Gift cards – you can redeem reward points for American Express Gift Cards. Just 50 points will get you a $5 Gift Card!
Cash - you can redeem reward points for cash, issued as a check. Just 50 points will get you $5.00 cash! It doesn’t take long at all to earn that.
Opportunities:
Survey opportunities are emailed to you. It’s best to open them as soon as possible, so they don’t fill up. Not only do you have the opporunity to earn rewards by taking interesting surveys, but you might also have the opportunity to try new products. You always have to promise confidentiality (that’s why I can’t tell you exactly what projects I’ve been involved with). That’s important not only to Ipsos i-say, but to the companies wanting the research done as well.
Preliminary questions – when you open up the survey link, they might ask you a few preliminary questions to see if you qualify. Don’t give up – remember, surveys fill up quickly at times. They are looking for a certain demographic with each survey. Some are obviously looking for parents of children, some look for persons who consume or purchase certain items. If you don’t qualify, you’ll know pretty quick. Just wait for the next opportunity…..it likely won’t be long. The best part, is that with Ipsos i-Say, you’ll earn 1 point even if you don’t qualify.
Poll Predictor - After you have completed a survey, you will be given the opportunity to play the Poll Predictor Game. You can opt out if you don’t want to play – it’s no big deal. You are asked a question and have to guess what percentage of the population it applies to. You get so many Poll Predictor points based on your answer and you can spend those points on chances to win things like Home Depot gift cards. I never count on winning, but I like to see if I can guess correctly. It’s just fun.
Advantages:
1. Earning points even if you don’t qualify for survey
2. I do get many survey opportunities from them each week
3. The opportunity to earn reward points for trying new products
4. CASH

I am still enjoying Swagbucks and laughing all the way to the bank! Thanks for that info too and for always providing great deals, savings, and opportunities.
Sounds like a great survey company. I used to do surveys all the time before I started blogging. I wouldn’t mind getting back into them they are fun, I just need to make time.
