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

May 15, 2017 by Anna from United States

Wow. Tried to log in and pop-up stated I had been terminated due to violations of terms & conditions. Very odd since I messaged them twice when Paypal was messed up a few weeks back, Guess this is payback. Luckily, I just cashed out 5-13-17.

Account terminated for no reason

May 8, 2017 by Maria from United States

I am always answering questions truthfully and always follow the directions. Last night I tried to log into my account for the first time in maybe two months only to be told my account have been terminated because of a violation to their terms. I have emailed them and asked them why and waiting to hear back from them.

Before that though I really liked Ipoll. You had some periods where you didn't match to any surveys but then you also had periods where it seemed you matched with almost all of them and getting to your rewards goal was pretty easy and fast.

Terminated just like the hundreds of previous reviews

May 6, 2017 by Dwaine from United States

I have read many complaints of Ipoll randomly terminating accounts due to violating their blah blah blah well today it happened to me. Like other complaints TD, I have been with them for a long time when they were Surveyhead and it's a shame they treat their members this way. I have money in my account which surprisingly they haven't responded to my inquiry on how I can obtain my funds. Tip : they never respond to inquiries I wonder how they operate. Actually now I know: they rip off their members by randomly closing their account due to a "violation" conveniently for them when the member has funds in their account and hasn't cashed out yet. I wonder how many violation THEY have with the Better Business Bureau? Ironically no one has mentioned to report them but I am going there now! And I will be choosing better companies besides Apoll I mean Ipoll.

leave this one alone

May 5, 2017 by Adam from United States

I figured I'd try it out, with 5 dollars free just to try it. Well, I tried it. I spent a week opening seriously *hundreds* of surveys for them to get to the minimum payout of 50$. There are always dozens of surveys in your inbox, of which you will qualify for basically none of them (how many times do I have to tell them I don't have any kids?), or at least that was my experience. The ones you do qualify for are all ludicrously boring and repetitive, and unlike most survey sites, there seemed to be zero correlation between how much time a survey takes and how much it will pay.

So, I finally got to 50 bucks a few weeks ago, and that's when I discovered, it also takes them an unknown, but apparently quite large, amount of time to actually process results of surveys. About a month in, of the $45 in survey money (since they gave me $5 to sign up, and actually it's $46.87, since I couldn't get it to $50 exactly), $23.17 of that is still "pending", so until it gets to $50, I'm just waiting.

Generally I don't mind sites that do that, if I'm going to keep using them, but I mind when it takes this long to process any of it, *and* the only payout is at a whopping $50, *and* their surveys are boring and don't pay much and I don't qualify for most of them, *and* their site is super clunky.

Strongly not recommending this one.

update: 2 1/2 months after joining, so about two months after getting to 50 dollars "pending", I finally had enough to cash out. I've put in that request, now let's see how long it takes them to redeem it...

final update: verdict, just slightly under one extra month. So about 3 1/2 months between "earning" 50 dollars (which was a slog) and actually receiving it. They did pay, though, so at least there's that.

Treated Poorly

May 3, 2017 by Jennie from United States

I have been a member of iPoll for many years, back when they were Surveyhead. Recently they terminated my account and accused me of being dishonest in a survey. A few days later they reinstated me, however since I have been reinstated I am unable to cash out my reward amount that is available. They claim that there is a problem with their website and that I can cash out using my mobile phone. I tried to cash out using my mobile phone and was still unable to do so. I am always honest when taking surveys and don't know why I was accused of being dishonest. I would like to receive the funds available in my account but don't think I ever will. I once thought highly of iPoll - I do not now!
