Ipsos

This is a marketing /​survey company. They are known as Ipsos I-​Say. Survey website is
. I’m commenting about the USA side of the survey company. Paris, France is the corporate office so it’s fitting for me to leave the review here.
The good:
You get to participate in market research (surveys), test products and tell companies your opinion. They have many rewards. The lowest PayPal option is $ 15 and I always choose that. It can take about 1 – 2 weeks to get the money into your account. Most surveys you get 5 points if you don’t qualify and you get to enter their contest called «Poll Predictor». They ask people a question and you have to guess the percentage. Depending on how close you are, you get a number of entries. They have 4 prizes you can choose from to put towards your entries. They have an A+ rating on the BBB (USA).
The bad:
They have many technical errors. They don’t appear to have good IT staff. Many of their employees keep telling me they know about the error messages, but it’s been going on for months, if not years! You really have to babysit your surveys. There are times when they disqualify you and they don’t give you the 5 points and Poll Predictor. I’m constantly having to complain about it. I know it’s not the employees fault because if they’re not in the IT department they really can’t do anything about it. So that’s the first problem.
Second problem, if they owe you a credit it can take a few weeks to get it added to your account. The same goes for the rewards, it takes about 1 – 2 weeks to get it. If you win a prize they quote a BIG turn around time which is approximately 6 – 12 weeks!
Third problem, their website gets a lot of traffic and either they haven’t updated their servers or have a lack on IT department, certain hours of the day, it runs really slow. It can take 10 – 15 minutes to log in!
Fourth problem, sometimes you’re in the middle of a survey and then you get disqualified. It happened today where I qualified for one survey 400 i-​Say points for 45 minutes. Supposedly after 15 minutes I got disqualified. It has never happened to me before, but according to other members it has happened to them.
Fifth problem, their surveys don’t pay that much or you get disqualified a lot.
I usually cash out once a month at the 15 USD level which is the lowest PayPal payout for the USA side. I like them, but it’s not a website without problems. They have a three out of five on SurveyPolice website. Many people are giving them half or one stars because of the troubles. I hope Ipsos I-​say wakes up and fixes the errors I have mentioned.
