Get Paid for Fun Adventures!

Turn the things you do everyday into an adventure! iPoll is all about convenience and fun, and wants to know your thoughts on the things you do everyday, with interactive mini missions that provide rewards. You'll get a $5 bonus just for signing up, and surveys range from $0.50 to $3. If you don’t mind leaving your home, you may also complete “missions” using the phone app at specific retail locations. New Item Scavenger Hunts potentially allow you to earn from $0.50 to $100 a day.

Survey Types

iPoll offers its members the opportunity to take surveys via their website and also via their mobile apps. Their mobile apps are available on both the App Store (for iPhones) and on Google Play (for Android phones). Users who download the mobile app can expect to be contacted more frequently to participate in surveys.

Complete Surveys to Earn Points

Complete survey to earn points and get rewarded. Surveys themselves typically take between 10-15 minutes and iPoll tries to keep surveys as short as possible so they aren’t monopolizing your time.

Added App Features

Another benefit of downloading the app is getting specific assignments based on your geographic location, accepting them and earning cash right on the spot! You may be challenged to take a picture of a product, or asked to visit a specific store. The app also includes video, photo and audio capabilities for fun, interactive reporting.

Rewards

iPoll offers various rewards including cash paid via PayPal (to verified PayPal accounts only), Amazon.com e-vouchers, and Apple gift codes. Once redeemed, rewards usually take about 4 weeks to be delivered. If you are redeeming via PayPal, remember to use the same email to sign up for iPoll that you use for your PayPal account. iPoll tries to get your rewards to you quickly, but on occasion it may take up to 4 weeks to redeem your rewards.

A $25 account balance is required to redeem an Amazon.com e-voucher, or an Apple gift code. PayPal cash payments can be requested when you've completed $50 worth of surveys or assignments.

Quarterly Sweepstakes!

iPoll rewards its members with quarterly sweepstakes draws of up to $10,000 USD. To be entered into the sweepstakes, you simply need to participate in a panel or survey, attend a webinar or redeem points.

Eligibility: USA, UK, Canada, 13+

Terminated without warning

March 14, 2019 by Craig from United Kingdom

I've been a member since April 2018 and have completed numerous surveys and earned rewards. On 13th March they logged me out of my account after completing a couple of surveys and stated I have violated their terms and conditions without any further information. I've contacted them via email with no response and have made a complaint to the BBB in Connecticut.

Avoid - they ban you without reason and earnings are forfeited

February 8, 2019 by Steve from United Kingdom

I've been a member for just over a year and accumulated quite a bit in earnings but when I tried to log in last weekend I saw a message that said "Your membership has been terminated as a result of the violation of the iPoll Terms and Conditions. For questions, please contact [email protected]".

I've contacted iPoll several times but they just repeat "the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged" message and ignore any requests to provide specific information.

I have always completed surveys accurately and in good faith so I'm livid that they can treat people in this way.

Coincidentally, I had the same problem with my OpinionOutpost account at the same time - and with the same vague allegations that "the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged".

To me, it looks like SSI (the parent company of iPoll and OO) just want to cull people out of their programmes without having to pay them a bean by accusing them of violating the T&Cs, which is despicable behaviour.

My advice is to avoid any SSI panels in future unless you want to see your hard-earned cash vanish into thin air (or the shareholders pockets, more likely...). SurveyPolice have helpfully listed all the Research Now SSI companies here: https://www.surveypolice.com/companies/research-now-ssi

UPDATED!!!

February 7, 2019 by Sylvia from United Kingdom

I have been a member for several years and have cashed out many times however, this last time I asked for an Amazon voucher with my £27.25 and my account was immediately terminated saying that I had violated the terms and conditions. I have contacted their helpdesk and had no reply. Looking on their FB page, there are a huge number of complaints of the same thing happening and Trustpilot also has a large number of reviews saying the same. I telephoned their UK number today 02070843000 and twice was answered by a recording so I have left my name and number. I do intend taking this further.

****UPDATE**** I telephoned the number given in another review for SSI and left a message for Wayne. He phoned me back and apologised, meanwhile I had a message form the FB page stating that they were checking my account. Today I had a phone call from their USA headquarters and I was able to access my account and cash out my rewards while he waited on the phone. So, hopefully their company now have their act together and everybody's account should be sorted!

F grade from Better Business Bureau

January 8, 2019 by Paul from United States

UPDATE: It's hard to believe that this bunch is still in business. You newer victims -- we tried to warn you.
News Flash: Finally, at long last, the Connecticut Better Business Bureau has awarded this outfit with a grade it deserves: an F. If you have some time, go ahead and take a look at the hundreds of complaints about this bunch on the BBB site. The grade is for the umbrella company, Survey Sampling International, of which iPoll is a part and for which iPoll has been the subject of most of the complaints.

Terminated for no reason

December 31, 2018 by Jennifer from Canada

I've read a few reviews since it happened two months ago, and now I see that this is a frequent happening. I have contacted their helpdesk a few times, and each time they say it will be resolved within a few days. Obviously that is not the case, and they have no intention of paying out my rewards.
