SITES LIKE Harris Poll Online

Pinecone Research, Tellwut, Opinion Outpost

Beginning March 30, 2020, Harris Poll Online USA stopped offering new survey opportunities. Existing members from the USA may redeem any existing account balances up to one year from the date points were credited to their accounts. The Canadian version of the panel is still operational.

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+.

You get SO much more with other sites...

September 17, 2010 by Monet from United States

^^^
You get so much more with other survey sites. Don't waste your time with this one. I'll admit-- it took me a while to realize I was wasting time so I figured I'll just cash out w/ an amazon gift card and opt out. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEND ME MY REWARD!!! I contacted cust. serv. numerous times about it and they kept telling me to check my spam. Wen I did get it, I can't even say being with them was worth it. Humph -__-

it's 1910...or at least they pay like it is...

September 17, 2010 by Robert from United States

Want to work for pennies an hour...then have I got a site for you. Step right up and join the growing world of online survey company employment...which will not even cover the cost of running your computer. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn't.

Rewards have gotten cheap

September 17, 2010 by Ceci from United States

I used to be able to cash in rewards about every 6 months for something like a DVD or small appliance or a gift card to a place I actually shop. Now the best offer is an on-line only gift card. You send off for the gift card, then days later get an e-mail to confirm that you'll get it, then days later, get ANOTHER e-mail with a coupon code for your on-line store. Everything else seems to be magazines and posters. What a rip!

Slow in receiving surveys

September 17, 2010 by Jim from United States

Harris is a good company. Getting them to send surveys is hit or miss. may take month, month and a half between surveys. But all in all a good respectable company.
I reccommend them

Pretty good

September 17, 2010 by virginia from United States

I've been with them for 6 years now. I have made $220.00. That's not alot of money but they always pay me. The surveys are a bit too long sometimes.
