I’ve been sick the past couple of weeks…….and sometimes I find myself on the computer, but really don’t have the energy to do what I need to do. So, I’ve been having fun taking more surveys than I normally do. I like to pick the ones that pay me in cash, so I was happy to see several from Ipsos Survey Panel in my inbox. If you like to earn a few extra dollars, taking surveys is one of my favorite ways. There are some bad sites out there (they know who they are), but I’ve been using Ipsos for almost 2 years now (and get PAID)!
***NEW*** Most rewards are either CASH or American Express Gift Card. I noticed that change this January, which really made me pay attention to their particular surveys in my inbox (versus other companies).
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. 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. Just tonight, I didn’t qualify for a survey, yet received 10 points just for trying. 
Redeeming Points:
You can redeem your reward points with Ipsos i-Say in one of a few ways:
Gift cards – you can redeem reward points for American Express Gift Cards. Just 500 points will get you a $5 Gift Card!
Cash – you can redeem reward points for cash, issued as a check. Just 1000 points will get you $10.00 cash! It doesn’t take long at all to earn that.
There’s also an opportunity to donate reward points to charity and an option to redeem for amazon gift cards.
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. US and Canada
5. CASH
