Toluna Discussion (merged)

wavy

I would like to put the other side to this rant by Sandie Parsley about Toluna . I have been a member for several years , everyone will vary in how quickly they will earn enough points for a voucher, some members may take a couple of weeks some may take a few months , ...you will never earn more then pocket money , it seems some expect to earn fortunes , so I suppose it depends what you mean by earning anything decent ....Toluna provide regular surveys and also provide an interesting forum.
I would highly recommend Toluna.

'I would like to put the other side to this rant by Sandie Parsley about Toluna'

I would like to point out this wasn't a rant - it was a personal view of how slow the process of gathering points on Toluna was!
Also the fact that MSE was stating you got 15,000 to 50,000 points per survey which in my experience is totally untrue, and as I really rate this web site I would like to think they would get it right.
I do not expect to earn a fortune, I am realistic enough to realise this, but things like 'Gifties' are misleading (you really have to read ALL the information to understand the way it works - or doesn't)
If you think its good then that's your opinion 'Wavy' and I respect that. It just isn't working for me.

Where is that quoted Sandie?

On listing in survey section - hope the below helps

Toluna
Earn vouchers or 'gifties'
Another survey site to try is Toluna. Forumites earn regular rewards in the form of gift cards or a PayPal payment. Alternatively you can use your points to buy virtual items – dubbed 'gifties' – that have the potential of becoming the real thing.
Once you reach 60,000 points, you can start redeeming them for rewards. 55,000 will get you a £10 retail voucher, including Marks and Spencer, Mothercare and Argos.
Some forumites are frustrated about how long it takes to receive vouchers after you've ordered them. It also seems to take quite a long time for points to be added onto members' accounts after they've completed surveys. Toluna says it can take up to six weeks sometimes for points to be added, although they try and limit this as much as they can.
Quick stats
Payment method: High street vouchers incl Amazon & Love2Shop
Typical ££ per survey: 15,000 to 50,000 points
Payout threshold: 60,000 points (worth £10+ in retail vouchers)
Typical survey time: 15-30 mins
Feed back: Toluna
