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 don't know what happened to this survey site. I am constantly vetted out and if I try to go to rewards or contact them it says I have a limited internet. I checked my settings for this site and the only thing I can think of is it must have intrusive ads.

I completed two surveys in the last month from start to finish that were so slow loading each page they took about 1.5 hours each. I tried to contact them via email and through the system and get error messages there also. Once finally completing the surveys (100%) I received an error message. Worst survey company I have ever worked with. It takes a year to make $5.00. There are so many others that value your time. Not his one!

The thing that annoys me about Harris Poll is they keep no profiles, so when they send you an e-mail link, you can spend several minutes answering repetitive preliminary questions before it even finds a survey. Often the logic in these makes no sense, why ask the age of my children if I've said I don't have any, or give me several pages of diseases when I claim I have none? Beyond that, the surveys are okay, and the rewards fair, if rather slow on receiving. You also seem to be able to just take a couple of surveys a day. If they could just fix it up so you go straight to the survey, would rate higher.

I don't use this one much but so far I do enough to keep my account active. Kudos to them for not deactivating me from inactivity, I don't like it when sites do that after only a few months. I rarely cash out but haven't had any problems with them yet. You can only take surveys through email invites which is one of their flaws but I still think it's good so far.

I have been getting harris poll surveys emailed to me a couple years, i always completed them without much thought. On this last i decided to see if there were rewards. I wanted amazon gift card to donate to my church raffle. I was so surprised when it only took 10 min or so to receive a 250.00 amazon card built up over 2 years!!! God bless you harris poll!
