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+.

Has run its course...they need to be shut down for good!

May 16, 2018 by Shaina from United States

This used to be a very good company, but ever since they had updated and redesigned their site, their heads have gotten too big and arrogant. They hardly respond to anyone's messages nowadays, including mine. Their surveys are often faulty at times. I can't even check out how much I made so far because they had deactivated my account without warning. I asked them why I wasn't able to get into my account, and they actually responded. That's a first. They need to just hang it up. Their business practices have become so shady. I mean when was the last time this sorry excuse of a company was ranked in the top 10 surveys list of the year from Survey Police? I wish YourWord site was still around. After being a member with them for 4 years, I might as well just remove the ShopTracker account from my computer since they removed my account. I hope their survey company shut down permanently. It has become virtually useless right now!!

deactivated my account

I noticed I was not getting any surveys and when I tried logging in to my account, I couldn't. I wrote them, the responded they deactivated my account. I was with them maybe close to 10 years. No mention of the points I earned. They told me I could open a new account with a new email address. Lots of wasted time with their surveys and then get screwed out of the points.

excellent

one of the best paid survey pages to work with and make dollars. I recommend 100%

I think it's great

May 3, 2018 by Donte from United States

It is very good and if they pay on time there is no need to complain that they do not have a registration page. Otherwise it is one of the best with the fastest pay.

Seems like they became shady

April 24, 2018 by Michelle from United States

I was only 25 points away to get the reward that i wanted some i made the 25 points that i need and when i went to go log back in the next day all of a sudden it said unable to access account, just a few days before that i was able to log into my account and the days before that, they deleted my account so i couldn't collect my 50 dollar reward , something smells fishy to me because the day before i was able to log in and then the next following i couldn't which is total out bs they didnt want people to get their reward they earned so they want to delete peoples account!
