Toluna is our online social voting platform of over 21 million users in 50 countries and 28 languages. Our influencers have the power to influence some of the world's largest brands and get rewarded instantly. Tell the world's leading providers of products and services what you think and earn rewards by participating in surveys on Toluna.com.

Points are a form of virtual currency awarded to Toluna members for various actions, these include: participation in surveys; inviting friends to join Toluna who complete the registration process; completing profile surveys, playing games and of course engaging in community content. When you sign up on Toluna you will receive 500 points to welcome you to the site. When you have earned enough points, you may redeem them for rewards, such as vouchers from great shops and brands. To stay up to date on all of our offers, please visit the Rewards Centre.

To join Toluna, simply click on "SIGN UP". You will be asked to provide some basic information when creating your account. After signing up, a confirmation email will be sent to you in order to finalise your registration. You must click the link in this email to confirm your registration on Toluna. Once your registration is complete, you can start participating in surveys, content, and games to get rewarded.

Registration to Toluna is completely free - Not only will you never be asked to pay, but just by answering our surveys and engaging in fun community activities like content and games, you will earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers and cash payments.

Becoming a member lets you take part in surveys. You can then start to accumulate points that are redeemable for rewards.

Toluna invites thousands of members to answer surveys every day on a wide array of subjects. The purpose of these surveys is to collect your opinions about the products and services of large consumer brands, your habits as a consumer, or about the world you live in. Your opinion will have a direct impact on companies and how they market, distribute or advertise new products and services to consumers like you.

We ask for personal information such as your name, address, gender, birthday and employment status to better match you with the appropriate market research projects. This information is also used for the purposes of incentive fulfilment so that we may send your reward to the appropriate recipient address. Other personal information that you may be asked to provide to us is solely for the purpose of building and operating a worldwide proprietary database of panelists, in order to conduct market research studies on that basis and we provide your responses to our surveys on to our clients in anonymised and aggregated form. Read our Privacy Policy to know more.

We do a variety of surveys for many clients. Some of these surveys are programmed by us, others are programmed by our clients and hosted on their systems. A major factor in technical issues is that survey respondents are using a wide variety of operating systems, browsers, Internet connections, and hardware, and not all of these are necessarily compatible with the technology of a particular survey. And, of course, sometimes, human error is a factor. If you encounter a technical problem with a survey, usually, by waiting a while and trying again later, the problem will be resolved. If the same error persists, please report it to us at https://influencers.toluna.com/contact-us by providing the Survey ID and a screen shot, if possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by technical errors and will do our best to get them resolved.

Sometimes this happens if a survey is generating greater than expected responses. Also, the invitations aren't necessarily delivered right away by your email service provider. We apologise for any inconvenience you may experience and thank you for your participation. Please know that more survey opportunities will become available.

Your Profile Surveys can be accessed directly from the "Account" page under the “Profile Surveys” tab. Profile Surveys are designed to help us improve the level of service we provide and allows us to send you surveys that you are most likely to qualify for. Profile Surveys are divided into three categories: profiles you haven't filled in yet, profiles you have answered before, but have since been updated and require your attention, and profiles you have already completed. For each completed personal profile survey, you are awarded 100 points.
Remember to update your profiles every 6 months to earn more points.

Finish your full registration on Toluna and verify your email by clicking on the link you receive in your mailbox. If a survey matches your profile, you will receive an invitation by email or see the surveys available in your Survey Centre on Toluna. The more up-to-date your Profile Surveys are, the more chances you have of being invited to take part in surveys you will qualify for.

For each completed survey you can generally earn between 15 and 50,000 points (depending on its length). Some special surveys could offer higher incentives.

Survey length is strictly dependent on the study.

No, under no circumstances will surveys be used to sell or promote a product, nor will you receive any advertising or promotional material as a result of joining the Toluna community.

This is because some surveys are looking for a very specific group of people who meet a very narrow set of demographic criteria. Sometimes, determining whether someone qualifies for a survey takes just a few questions, other times it may take more questions. Please know we appreciate your participation and that when you don't qualify, your responses are not used in the final research findings.

To increase the chances that you will qualify for future online surveys, complete all of the member personal profile surveys. Remember, you are awarded 100 points for each personal profile survey you complete!

The timing of crediting for points depends on the survey. For some surveys, points are credited very quickly or within a few days, while for others you will receive the points only after the survey has closed. You can expect to wait a maximum of six weeks for points to be credited to your account from when a survey closes, though we try to limit this as much as possible.

This is because some surveys are looking for a very specific group of people who meet a very narrow set of demographic criteria. Sometimes, determining whether someone qualifies for a survey takes just a few questions, other times it may take a bit more.

Toluna's profiling process is continuous — the objective being to have broad and current attributes on each member. Our clients make marketing decisions based on responses from our members in their surveys so we must implement strict quality controls to make sure you are part of the target the client is looking for. The questions we ask at the beginning of each survey may seem repetitive but are necessary to ensure the integrity of the survey sample.

When you do not qualify for a survey, your responses cannot be used in the final research findings, and therefore are never transferred to our clients. Likewise, Toluna will never use or transfer these responses for internal use. As the information you entered is incomplete and cannot be used for our client’s research, you will not receive points when you have not completed the survey.

If you would like to receive surveys on your smartphone, simply enter your mobile phone number on Toluna during your registration or directly on your account page. 
Toluna will only send a limited number of surveys on mobile to specific users that we believe will qualify. You will not be required to answer the survey by text message. The SMS you will receive will include a link to the survey.
When you access a survey from your smartphone, please make sure you have a good internet connection. We recommend using a Wi-Fi secure connection, instead of taking the survey through your Mobile Internet Plan/Mobile Data, to avoid additional costs on your monthly bill/top-up.
Warning: Standard SMS reception rates may apply depending on your service provider.

You can opt out from this service at any time by going to your Account page.

Anyone who is a member of Toluna and has indicated their mobile phone number on the Toluna.com site can participate in surveys on mobile.

A few surveys could be sent via SMS for specific projects. For most surveys you can participate via our website, email invites and mobile app.

We want you to post and share content in the community because you want to. Users will not receive points just for posting content threads in the Forum. Happy posting!

This is strictly forbidden. The content of the opinion you leave is strictly personal and in no case whatsoever should your opinion be taken from another member or website.

Your profile data is stored on our secure server that allows only Toluna to call upon those members who match specific criteria to participate in surveys. This query is completely automated, and members are contacted via email by Toluna to participate in our secure surveys. All responses are held in aggregate, which means that individual responses are not linked to personally identifiable information. The information you provide will never be sold or used to advertise. You are not responsible for paying any product or service at any time, nor will any company solicit you as a result of joining the Toluna community.

This information is used to match members with specific survey requirements. In some cases, our clients require feedback from people in a certain income bracket or those who have children, for example. Please be assured that this information is securely kept and strictly confidential. See our privacy policy for more details. The more information you provide, the greater your chances of receiving invitations to surveys you may qualify for, and the more opportunities you may receive to earn cash rewards.

Yes. When points are credited to your account, they will remain valid for 16 months. If after this period the points have not been used, they will automatically expire and be deleted from your account. Your points will not expire all at once, instead, points will expire 16 months after you originally earned them (for example: if you earned Points on 15 March 2021, they will be removed from your account on 28 July 2022, if they are still in your account). This deduction will always occur towards the end of the month in which they were earned, near the 28th. Please don't wait until the last moment to redeem your points.

Click on ”Account” from the left side menu, then go to the “Points” tab. The Points page allows you to view the actions that have earned you points, your current balance and how you've spent your points so far. Your points balance will also be visible on the left menu as well as the rewards page.

You can spend your points by selecting "Rewards " from the left side menu - here you can see the full list of rewards available in your country.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery. When you redeem your points for a reward you will be asked to confirm your postal address, email address, or PayPal email address (depending on the reward and country). Before you confirm your purchase, please ensure all your information is correct to avoid any delays in delivery.

In order to be eligible for Toluna rewards you must be a registered user on the site corresponding with your country of residence.
