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 used to be a fan of the website. I have been able to get numerous gift cards through the surveys I've completed and through linking Shop Tracker, but after about 10 months of getting survey emails am no longer able to access my account and my attempts at contacting them through their website have gone unanswered.

I was previously receiving a survey every few days through my e-mail and cashed out my points for a gift card about every other month. I noticed in January after the holidays that I hadn't received any survey emails recently and after checking my e-mail found that I hadn't received a survey since early December. My Shop Tracker hadn't synced since then either. I thought this was strange so I tried signing into my account and got the error message "unable to access account". Lost password gave me an error message also. I tried the Contact Us page back in early January but never received any response, I tried again a few weeks later and nothing, and I just tried again today, but I am not hopeful. I checked the company's facebook page and they haven't posted since 2016 but have posts and complaints on their page.

they are not paying me my 5 amazon gift certificate. They added 3 questions to the end of cashing out. These questions are from long, long ago. They claim that they were given this information but I never gave them previous addresses or zip codes, or phone numbers. So I guess now I am out a 5 amazon gift certificate. What a rip.

Heads up this panel may send surveys that are not designed right to opt you out before getting to the end. I have twice been burned to complete a survey only to receive a message that I didn't qualify. If you don't keep the original survey invitation forget about getting compensated as Panel support will not accept the date, time, and topic of a survey. They ask for survey invitation number which I guess is in small print on the bottom. I saw one invitation with no identifying information.

It used to be that 95% of the surveys you could complete and would get points for. The last few months, lucky to finish 1% of the surveys. I am now finding that usually about 95% of the way through the survey, it comes up and says " don't qualify" or " survey is closed ". Once or twice I can see, but when it comes up 9 out of 10 times?
