Ipsos is another good addition to your list of survey sites. They aren’t a scam and they will give you some pretty cool rewards. They are just your standard survey site though. They don’t do anything spectacular, but they seem to get all of the basics just about right.
Ipsos offers their surveys under a basic reward system. You’ll earn gift certificates or money that will be sent to you via snail mail after you complete the survey. There are several contests and sweepstakes available too which give a nice little bit of extra oomph to the surveys. They even have a little instant win contest you can enter if you fill out a survey that day. I usually don’t give too much weight to sweepstakes or contests, but if they take the form of an add-on to paying surveys, I appreciate them.
As I stated, they do a whole lot of the basics right. Nothing more and nothing less. I would personally complain that I didn’t get too many surveys with them, but again, that depends more on the demographic demands of the market than the survey company. There are companies that do things a bit better, but Ipsos is more than competent at their own service.
In conclusion, there really isn’t much more to be said about Ipsos. You should definitely join and give it a shot. There contest are a nice touch and you could be in a better demographic and get more surveys than I did. They are a well run company that serves as the middle line for survey standards. They may not be great, but you won’t be slamming your head against the desk in frustration either.

Apparently the password is case sensitive. I got an email from them today wit the password and explaining that it was case sensitive. A while ago, they sent me an email that had the password in it but this was after I could not login with the password I had and they said my email address was not in the database. I typed in the password but did not know it was case sensitive. That is why I have not been taking their surveys or writing about them recently. But I was able to login to my account with Ipsos and saw that I had accumulated 8 points, so the surveys I had taken before had not been for nothing.
So I took a survey with them today that in the email they said would pay up to 8 points. They said it would take about 25 minutes but it only took about 20 minutes. The survey was really redundant, and I don’t think I am allowed to specifically talk about the contents but there were 2 pages that made me want to stop because they were so redundant and time consuming.
I did complete it though and should have 8 more points credited to my account in 2 days. Ipsos survey Panel I need to earn at least 50 points before I can redeem it for a prize.

I still do not know how to log in to view my account for Ipsos Survey Panel. I have been emailing with the people who run their rewards system. They seem to be trying to get my password but I don’t think it should be this hard. I haven’t taken any of their surveys since I am not sure if I am getting credit for the ones I have already taken.
I had heard good things about this survey panel, but this confusion is lessening the quality of my experience with Ipsos Survey Panel

I got an email from Ipsos Survey Panel today inviting me to take part in another paid survey. I was a little concerned about taking this survey since I still don’t know how to log in and check my earnings. I did however receive an email response from them about my problem, I just emailed them back and should be receiving my information soon.
The survey I took was for I think either 20 or 8 points, the number doesn’t really matter since I have no Idea what the conversion ratio is from points to dollars. The survey took me about 15 minutes to complete, about half way through it I was about to stop since the status bar only said I was about 65% done with the survey. I decided to stay with it though. At about 70% they started asking me the demographic questions and the bar starting jumping like 10% per question. The first 70% of the survey took me like 13 minutes and the last 30% took me about 2.
After I was done with the survey they had me play some instant win game where I chose a car and then it raced another one and if I chose the correct one then I won something. I did not win.
I have no idea what I have earned so far with Ipsos Survey Panel but I should be finding out soon and will inform everybody.

I had not received anything from Ipsos Survey Panel in about a week. Today I got an email from them inviting me to take part in a paid survey. It would take about 20 minutes and pay 8 point, not that I had any idea what that meant, and I would be able to take part in an instant win game.
I started taking the paid survey and it only took about 10 minutes to complete. When I was done I played the instant win game and lost. I went back to their website to figure out what the points meant but I had no idea how to log in. Their points program was run through another website, I hit the “forgot my password” button but it said that my email address was not in their records. I have emailed their customer service, also run through another website, and am awaiting their response.
My email address is obviously in their records if they have been sending me paid survey invitations.

I received an email from Ipsos Survey Panel inviting me to take part in their latest survey. It was for a chance to win $100 dollars. The survey was 1 page long and took maybe 1 minute to do.
I tried to log in to my account to take more but I still don’t know how to log in. Then I went on their normal page and started taking surveys. They have you fill in your email address at the beginning so I think I am getting credit for the paid surveys I am taking, but then I went back and just filled in a random email address that I was sure didn’t exist and it still gave me the survey even though the email address I put in was not a member

Just signed up with Ipsos Survey Panel
When I signed up for their website it was just a one or two page form to fill out. They sent me a conformation email saying that I had signed up pretty quickly and invited me to take a paid survey for a chance to win $100. I took it in the interest of reviewing the website. After taking the survey I returned to their homepage and had no idea what to do from there. I could not figure out how to log back in.
After a couple minutes of clicking all around I finally decided to just go back to my email and click the link in their to get back to the website. They don’t really have a members area, but on their website you can just click a button that says take a survey, and then you are given a paid survey. They seem to have a lot of paid surveys on the website since they had several categories of paid surveys to choose from.
So far I have only taken two paid surveys from Ipsos Survey Panel and both of them have been for sweepstakes entries.
On their website they had a section where you can say what kind of paid surveys you are willing to take. They have options of taking phone surveys, text message surveys and even focus groups, in addition to the normal online paid surveys.
