Your thoughts on Toluna

nads

I'm really in two minds about Toluna.com. I signed up a few days ago, with my motive being that I'll get an invite to Consumer Pulse - I understand this can take a long time.

I've been doing the quick votes for hours and now have about 4500 points plus once I've finished the main survey I'll have 11,450 points which sounds like a lot but to get a £10 Sainsburys voucher you need 60,000 points!


This is the first time I've thought "Is this site worth it?"

Not to dishearten you but at 15points per vote... you still need 3246 more votes! Of course there are the odd few surveys and bits which earn you more. Its more of a slow back burner this one. Particularly, if like me, you get to the point where you've completed all the sponsored votes. I just check daily for new ones but other than that don't spend any time doing other things on the site. Been with them for ages and almost up to my second pay out.

Caren't consumer pulse allowing new members at the moment. This link I think

i used to get loads of things from Toluna and lately its really steadied up with things only few and far between

I joined Toluna last summer and reached 60,000 points by November. I sent off for a Sainsburys voucher as soon as possible but it didn't arrive until today.

To be fair, they do state it can take up to 8 weeks to process a voucher and it arrived within that period.

I am back at 42,000 points since I ordered that voucher but I include Toluna in my daily internet routine.

I do find I am screened out for more surveys than I am accepted for, but obviously I must get accepted for enough for me to have got something from the website.

Reeree,

I too have thousand of points which are still need to be added after 4 months of waiting. They keep sending me a standard email which doesn't solve the problem. :mad:

Milkyb, I knew as I was filling in the votes that this is going to take **@*#! forever! Which is why I'm in two minds about continuing.

Thanks for the v4p link, I have filled that in before (twice ) but sitll not heard anything.

I do have about 20+ pages of 15 pointers but whether it's a bug in the site or nore but despite setitng my preference to not show polls I'd already completed, they do reappear! One minute I have 200+ votes to do, next minute 144, gets awfully irrritating.

Well I guess once you've gotten through the pages of sponsored votes - hold on to your sanity doing it though! - you could just keep it going as a back burner with a daily visit to keep on top of new sponsored votes. Or wait till you get to cashing in level then stop. Would be a shame to waste all the time you've already spent clicking.

it use to be 40,000 points i reached 39,000 it uped to 60,000 when i reached 60,000 i put in a request waited and i contacted themn and they said i had more thamn one account so i was not getting a voucher

imo a big waste of time go out n feed the birds more rewarding

Don't forget to fill out all of your personal info surveys. You get 2000 bonus for doing all of them. Lots needed updating on mine yesterday so more bonus points for me:j

I've had two pay outs from them - waiting for my third to arrive.

Check for sponsored polls every day, they help up your points.

I signed up with Toluna a couple of years ago and have never had a survey from them. Even doing the sponsored polls hasn't helped me get to enough points for any payouts!

I've mostly given up now because it's not really worth it for me.
