SOME LINKS IN THIS POST MAY BE FROM OUR SPONSORS. POLICY PAGE

Over the past 30 years, Ipsos i-Say has grown to be one of the most popular online survey sites for taking paid surveys.  

In our Ipsos i-Say review we’ll share what we’ve found about this online survey site, both good and bad. We’ll also cover

• How to sign up to with this paid survey site
• How much money you can earn in your spare time
• Whether this site is as legit as they might seem.

What is Ipsos i-Say?

Founded in 1975, Ipsos is a global market research company based in Paris. With over 15,000 employees across 80 countries, they are the third-largest market research firm in the world.

Ipsos created its i-Say online survey rewards community to make it easier to connect consumers with marketers. This division of Ipsos has worked out well, with over 70 million online surveys completed annually.,

Is Ipsos i-Say a legitimate company?

Ipsos i-Say is a legit site and you can earn real money if you want to complete a lot of surveys with them. Big brands and consumer product companies pay survey companies like the Ipsos Group to conduct survey panels to uncover consumer insights that can improve their products. As a participant, you get paid to complete surveys. Everybody wins here.

Consumer reviews

Let’s check out the experience of some actual users. Our first reviewer experienced site issues such as surveys not being available and long process times.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that this survey participant had a great experience with this site. Looking at the review, it appears that at age 70, the participant’s age might not have fit the profile that Ipsos was looking for.

They were probably looking for someone whose age represented demographic information that their customers (the companies that hire them) are looking for. As a result, he probably didn’t receive a lot of survey invitations, and didn’t think it was worth joining.

However, there were also plenty of positive Ipsos i-Say reviews.

Doug is a returning user. In his i-Say review, he says he’s pleased with the improvements they’ve made to the platform since last participating.

From this review, it appears that Ipsos has put a lot of time and energy into improving their customer service.

How to sign up for iSay

First head over to their sign up page.

Next, you’ll complete a profile set up a form that asks some basic questions and requests some personal information. This includes:

• Name
• Email address
• Street address
• Zip code

It should only take a couple of minutes to complete this form. If you’re outside of North America, it will direct you to select your country.

After that, click “Continue” and finish the signup process. Ipsos will send a confirmation email, and you’ll have to verify your account by clicking the corresponding link attached to the email.

Finally, you’ll be prompted to log into your survey panel. Once logged in, select “Surveys” from the menu. This will display what available surveys you are eligible for.

Each survey listed will show the typical duration, how many points you’ll earn, and the deadline for completion.

Pick one of the surveys and get rolling.  

How to earn i-Say points and rewards

Once you have a number of surveys under your belt, you’ll be itching to see what rewards are available.

They currently offer:

• Cash payouts via PayPal cash
• Amazon gift cards, Starbucks gift card, or a free gift card to a variety of other retailers
• Virtual Visa prepaid cards
• Charity donations to the charity of your choice

As long as you are consistent with your survey taking, you can accumulate a lot of points very quickly. Each survey will award you anywhere from 5 to 50 points.

You’ll need about 100 points for $1 and 500 points for $5. This simplicity really is the best thing about this website.

Ipsos i-Say drawings and sweepstakes

A standout feature of i-Say is their prize drawings and sweepstakes. These can be a fun way to earn a chance to win big prizes such as a vacation or an iPhone.

You don’t need to do much to qualify for the drawings or sweepstakes entry. Simply participate in their daily “Poll Predictor” polls. If you guess the answer correctly, you receive extra points that can be applied to prize drawings.

Ipsos’s prize drawings

Ipsos i-Say has five different prize drawings you can participate in. This helps keep survey takers engaged and loyal fans of the site.

• Quickdraw: This is done once every four months, and you can win up to 5,000 points.
• Poll Predictor: You gain access to this game with every completed survey. The goal is to guess how other users answered a poll.
• Lucky Grand draw: You’re entered into this every time you redeem any amount of points. The prize is $1000.
• Exchange for Education: This is specifically for students with school debt. It costs 200 points to play but the prize is $5,000
• Sizzlin’ Summer Sweepstakes: Held four times each year the prizes are summer-themed, like vacations.

Referral and loyalty program

Surveys aren’t the only way that you can earn points. There is also a referral program that earns you 100 points per user. If you have a lot of friends and family members who like participating in survey sites, this might be the best way to earn some easy cash.

A referral is complete once the user signs up and completes their first survey. If they don’t do this exactly, you won’t be given the 100 points.

i-Say loyalty program

Ipsos i-Say features a tiered loyalty program that increases your rewards potential based on how active you are.

The loyalty program runs on a 12-month cycle with your points carrying over, but your survey count resetting yearly.

Ipsos i-Say’s mobile app

The Ipsos iSay mobile app is a new offering for Ipsos, available for both IOS and Android-based phones. Through your mobile device, this app gives you additional features such as:

• Instant notifications for new surveys you qualify for
• Exclusive mobile only surveys
• A convenient UI for checking your rewards and points progress

Wrapping up this Ipsos i-Say review

 Our i-Say review found the survey platform provides a great way to earn some extra money. They had some issues before launching their new platform, but it looks like they fixed a lot of the problems.

Getting started is very easy. You sign up like any other website and verify your email address. You’ll receive at least a few surveys to complete each week on average. This is slow compared to other websites, but the consistency is a plus.

Your individual demographics determine how many opportunities you receive which is normal. Referrals and their loyalty program are good but the drawings and sweepstakes are where i-Say really stands out.

Users could be paying off tuition or going on a surprise vacation — not many survey sites offer that.
