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+.

I have been taking surveys for 10 years. did not receive any emails from them for months. Not in spam, nowhere. Received surveys again and they took away 10000 points because I had not answered a survey in 6 months.Emailed them and they say it must have been in my spam folder. That was a lot of work for 10000 points!

There overall incentive program is not that great, but now they are sending surveys for my teen to do. Instead of my one a month survey , the teen gets it. With NO points to be issued. Only a sweepstakes entry. They say that my teens opinion is important to them, must not be if only a sweepstakes entry. My teen refuses to do them, and yours should too.

They keep sending me the same survey about cell phones and it is driving me up the wall. It asks the same questions every time. I don't know if they keep thinking I might change my mind about something like maybe I will buy or won't buy a new cellphone in the next six months or year or change cell phone companies or whatever. But I'm sick of it. I like doing surveys to get the Amazon reward certificates to help out with my orders on Amazon to get neat stuff I can't find anywhere else. And all the redundant questions these people ask in this survey always wanting to know my address and my cell phone number? How do I know they won't call me or send me something in the mail? You just really gotta be careful.

Harrispoll is very cheap with their incentives. They send about 1 survey every 2 wks. And most surveys are worth 30 points. The lowest amt to earn a reward is 800 pts. See where I'm coming from-not a good investment @ all. So, it could take a yr or more to get to the lowest rung of surveys. I'm waiting until I get to @ least the 5k level so I can cash out, get something worthwhile and opt out. I have about 1k points to go.
