KEY FEATURES:

Harris poll is one of the oldest and most prestigious polls in the world, operating for more than 45 years with a focus on the US and Canadian market. Have your say on matters that affect you and see the results from the surveys you complete. You can compare experiences, opinions and more to people who are both like and unlike you. Occasionally, the studies you contribute to will be published in national and international media outlets. The Harris Poll is a member of the National Council of Public Polls (NCPP), the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO), the Council for Marketing and Opinion Research (CMOR), and the European Society for Opinion & Marketing Research (ESOMAR).

Electronic Rewards

Harris Poll offers their members the opportunity to earn points, known as HIpoints in exchange for their participation. Once you earn 1250 points (worth $10), you can request an e-gift voucher from places like Amazon, iTunes, Starbucks, Walmart, ESPN, and more. You may also be entered into sweepstakes after each completed survey for even more chances of winning big.

Get Disqualified, But Still Have a Chance to Win!

If you attempt to complete a survey, but are disqualified in the process, you will receive an entry into the Harris Panel Sweepstakes. You will be also be offered the opportunity to try qualifying for other available surveys.

Survey Lengths

Online surveys typically take anywhere between 5-25 minutes to complete. Short surveys will take around 5 minutes, and very long ones are around 25 minutes. These reasonable survey lengths will keep your attention and prevent you from getting bored too quickly! There are special surveys on offer as well including special focus groups, telephone based surveys, and even surveys about independently downloaded software. Common survey topics, however, range from fashion to movies to shopping habits.

Participate Often

Expect to receive between 3-5 online surveys a month.

Earn Points

Even if you are disqualified from completing a survey, expect to receive around 15 HIpoints! The amount of points you get per survey varies depending on the length or complexity of the survey.

Download the App!

Harris Poll now has an app, available on iOS and Android. The mobile apps will require you to login with your Harris credentials. Using the app allows you to see survey opportunities, take surveys, participate in special research programs and access your rewards. Turn on your notification settings for the app to receive new survey opportunities in real time.

Cashing Out

After you have reached 1250 points, you are able to redeem your HIpoints for e-cards and gift vouchers. Most people who participate, reach this threshold after completing around 10 surveys. Rewards include e-cards or gift vouchers from Amazon, iTunes, Starbucks and more.

Rewards Processing Times

Redeem your rewards and receive them within 15 business days. They will be sent to your e-mail account. Most rewards will be credited to your account within 10 minutes of your participation, but occasionally it may take as long as 24 hours for the credit to appear in your account. If you are redeeming your HIpoints, you will receive your e-code within 24-48 hours of cashing in your HIpoints. If you have cashed in for physical merchandise, you will receive your merchandise via USPS within 7-14 business days. All costs of rewards (including shipping and handling) are covered by Harris Poll, unless you are redeeming products using an e-certificate.

Chances to Win $10,000 Every Quarter

HarrisPoll gives away a $10,000 USD prize every quarter to one lucky winner in their Histakes - the Harris Poll Online Sweepstakes. You earn an entry if you have been disqualified for surveys, as well as for actions like participating in short surveys that may not award points. Winners names are published on the HIstakes winners page and this list is kept up to date.

Eligibility: Canadian residents, 13+.

Harris Polls are fun if you have some time to waste and don't mind accruing points over long periods of time. The invites are not as frequent as other survey sites (e.g. Opinion Outpost, OneOpinion). Many of the surveys are REALLY long and the payout is tiny. You cannot cash out via PayPal. There are other gift certificates, but it takes a LONG time to accumulate points (months and months and months) given the low frequency of surveys and minimal rewards for taking surveys.

I have been a member of Harris Polls Online for years, lately I am having a terrible time trying to cash in my points! Keep telling me my birthday info is incorrect. I see that I am not the only one this is happening to. After 5 messages to customer service still no resolution. I believe my next recourse is to contact the BBB!!

I am a 55 year old female who retired and is collecting pension from a fortune 100 consumer products company. I now sell cars part time. I'm a white female speak only English and live in a home with income over 140,000 in 8 months participating in harris poll I have only qualified for a hand full if surveys earned no prizes and they dont seem to want my opinion. Disappointing harris poll....I quoted your credible results for years but now question the facts. I've also recruited over 30 users most of which you did Not accept I guess because they are like me. Not worth my time

I have tried alot of different survey panels that say you can get paid to answer a survey mainly if you qualify . I have typed my info in 50 times on many sites and never approved for one survey that even just was worth .50 . However Harris poll is not that bad. Easier when it comes down to getting a chance at making a few bucks. I would recommend them. But I want give them 5 **** b/c well they arent as great as a few others I have ran across. such as Sharecash.com or Qmee

I took their surveys regularly for about 10 months and got $120 in Amazon gift cards with no problem. Suddenly I can no longer log into my account using the same information I've used all along. They want me to change my password but I cannot because I don't remember the name of my third grade teacher, ha ha (a secret question I would have NEVER used!) After telling them off a couple of times trying to find out what to do next, they deactivated my account.
