Becoming a member lets you take part in surveys where you have the ability to influence products and services entering the market place, and help companies create, improve and design products and services for the future. Also, you are rewarded in cash for your successful participation in our surveys.

Toluna invites thousands of members to answer surveys everyday 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 fulfillment 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.

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 connection types, and hardware, and not all are necessarily compatible with the technology of all surveys that may be available. And, of course, sometimes, human error is a factor. If you encounter a technical problem with a survey, usually, if you wait a while, then try again later, the problem will be resolved. If you are still seeing an error after waiting a while, please report it to us here and note the Survey ID. We apologize 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 apologize for any inconvenience you may experience and thank you for your participation. Please know that more survey opportunities will become available.

 

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 Center 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 qualify to take.

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

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 even when you don't qualify, your participation helps contribute to the success of the study.
To increase the chances that you will qualify for future online surveys, be sure to keep your Personal Details and Professional profiles up to date at all times.

The crediting time for surveys is dependent upon the needs and complexity of each individual survey. For some surveys, credits are applied very quickly or within a few days, whilst for others, the credits are applied after the survey has closed. We will do our best to credit your account within 2 weeks, however it can take up to 6 weeks at time for survey credits to post to your account.

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 cannot be used for our client’s research, most times no reward will be issued for an incomplete study.
