Comment: I have been a member of Ipsos i-Say for almost 12 months and during that time I have had both good and not so good experiences with them. Initially I was happy with the amount of surveys I was receiving, but over time this has waned, especially during the holiday season. Cut to the New Year though and things have slightly picked up again and will hopefully stay that way.

I find that the survey quality is fairly good, with the questions being asked as varied rather than monotonous and standard; which is always a good thing. I have also had the opportunity to do a couple of product tests, one of which went very well and I was awarded quite a fair sum. The other though, left me wondering because I was asked to do a follow up report but yet could not submit it due to technical difficulties (this was something I was later informed of through quite a bit of back and forth through Customer Service). This then prevented me from getting my full reward, but once again after some consult through Customer Service my points were then amended as this technical problem was no fault of mine.

The jury is still out for me with Ipsos i-Say, but for now I am happy to continue to take surveys and be rewarded for them. Most surveys I have been rewarded for have been well paying, and I am sure that with the upgrades to their system this is something that will continue to improve. The best tip I can give though is not to let your points accrue too much before requesting a payout.

Overall Ipsos does have a fair amount of surveys to take, and their Customer Service is reliable in getting back to you. Another added bonus is the Poll Predictor game that gives you extra opportunity to win prizes.

Comment: Ipsos I-Say - www.i-say.com

Eligibility - USA, Canada, International

Upon your first visit to the I-Say website you will notice various photo's with individuals taking surveys (typical of survey sites). There is a lot going on on the home page. At the top of the page you will notice the following heading to find more information.
"Home" - self explanitory
"Join" - which will take you to the registration page
"Rewards" - with the following sub-links: Rewards Program, Loyalty Program, Program Rules, Pole Predictor, Winners, Trading Post Draw.
"Extras" - with the following sub-links: Poll share, Take a fun survey, Newsletter archieves, Faces of I-say contest
"Blog" - "Dave from I-say" writes random blogs about various topics that you can choose to read.
"FAQ" - self explanatory

On the right hand menu you will notice an area that mentions how many points have been donated to charity. (nice touch, although, can we validate it)

At the bottom of the page you will find the following links:
"About I-say" - Gives a little more indepth knowledge of the organization
"Privacy Policy" - All the legal jargon I'm sure your just dying to read!
"Unsubscribe" - This is handy as on some sites you have to dig fairly deep to find this.
"Contact Us" - An email form which unfortanutely is a draw back as sometimes its nice to have a telephone number to call.

To Join I-Say:
If you click on Join Now you will be directed to the registration form. It is your typical form asking for all of your information, however, one good thing about the I-Say registration form is that it is not as impossing or time consuming as other survey websites.

Once you have registered and are a member:
Sign in to your account and begin taking surveys.

Survey Frequency:
I will say I-Say sends me surveys on a daily basis, sometimes as many as 3 per day.

Survey Incentives:
Over the 3 years that I have been with I-Say, survey incentives have remained fairly consistent. The typical point value per survey is 90 points, however 45 points is another common value. From time to time you will receive special survey invitations with point values of 100 or greater. For example, I received an invite to participate in a month long survey with 300 points associated with it.

Rewards!:
I-Say does have a vast variety of rewards to choose from ranging from Gift Certificates and Charity Donations to Cheques and Air Miles. To cash in your points for a Cheque you must accumulate 1000 points ($10).

Poll Predictor:
I-Say offers a little game after the survey called poll predictor, whereby they are a trivia questioned based on responses from the public. For example, what percentage of men said they like sports?
Depending on how close you were to the correct answer they provide you with a set number of entries into a draw for various prizes. You can also accumulate these points to use at any time. Its a neat extra feature, although there really is no way to validate if anyone ever wins there prizes.

Conclusion:
In conclusion I would HIGHLY recommend I-Say to anyone wanting to take online surveys for a little extra cash. The frequency of surveys is fantastic and at an average of 90 points per survey, it is very easy to reach the cash out minimum of 1000 points.

Comment: Aside from the website itself being extremely slow like Ed mentioned, I really enjoy the survey site. Not only do i feel like i'm helping out, but every survey I participate gets me closer to any reward I so choose. I have been a member for about two months and have only missed one or two surveys, I'm working my way up the points scale and plan to cash out fairly soon, cheers!:)

Comment: Ipsos I-Say is a virtual waste of time. The surverys do not support all popular browsers, new product presentation programming generally fails to present, questions include attribures like "relevant" (? what the hell is that), website response time on surveys is dreadfully slow (often takes > 10 seconds to load and nearly that long when refreshed, and I'm on 6 MB down and 768K up - pathetic). I'm generally eliminated from targeted consumer surveys by virtue of age (year of birth usually ends the survey participation). Inquiries and service response are polite, generally prompt, but 'canned' in their nature.

Their online surveys tend to sort demographics by trend and pop culture, rather than economic segmentation and spending habits. That would make the responses fairly untrustworthy, and from a practical standpoint, near worthless.
,br> Their 'reward points' are shallow, and follow up game points unusable - they expire quickly if unused, which may be a good thing after all.

Use Harris Polls or almost any other consumer survey resource - at least they harvest and process participant input in a rational and probably useful manner. Ipsos should retreat, as in get out of the online survey business.

Comment: Ipsos Isay is not a bad survey site at all, I only work 3 days per week so earning a bit of extra money every month through online survey sites like Ipsos Isay really makes a difference to my lifestyle.

First things first, is Ipsos Isay a scam? No way in the world, I have received a few checks from them now and as a job for stay at home mom, it really does help out.

So how does it work you ask? Pretty easy, every survey sent out to you is worth points, even if you do not qualify for a survey you will earn 10 points.

Surveys completed are worth anywhere from 10 to 100 points usually and at 1000 points you can claim a check. On top of this Ipsos also has loyalty bonuses for people that complete in excess of 10 surveys per month, their is also prize draws that you are entered into when completing a survey.

All in all, if you are looking to do paid surveys online then I think you can do alot worse then Ipsos Isay.

Comment: I've been doing surveys from Ipsos for about 6 months now. Enjoy their surveys but i have an older computer so some of the better surveys i can't get thru. They send out surveys on a regular basis and points accumulate fairly quickly. Their new home page is an improvment.

Comment: Ipsos Isay is a legitimate survey website. I have been completing surveys for this website for over a year now and have made a little over $100.

You do not get paid cash for surveys as they use a points system (1000 for $10). The great thing about this site is that you do not receive surveys that do not offer points, so every survey you do you are working your way towards 1000! Surveys can be worth either 90 or 45 points, however I would say 80% of the surveys are worth 90 points each. As well, if you do not qualify for the survey you still receive 10 points for your time, which is great.

They also offer the Poll Predictor Game where they will ask a trivia question after the completed survey and the closer you are to an answer the more entry you get into monthly draws.

When you have enough points to redeem, Ipsos will send you a cheque (not paypal). The cheque does take a couple of weeks to receive however.

Overall I would recommend Ipsos Isay to anyone looking for a quality survey website.
