♦ I believe Ipsos i-Say is a 3rd largest research company in the world and they are among most trusted survey panels currently operating on the internet. If you would ask me what makes Ipsos stand out from the crowd, I would say product tests. If you like to try new things and get "free" stuff you should definitely keep reading. :). Ipsos does their business in over 100 countries and conduct millions of surveys each year. If you decide t join this panel, here is a big chance you could be soon testing some fantastic products at your own house.
♦ To make all that market research possible Ipsos i-Say operates very popular survey site that sends out more and more paid online surveys invitations every month. I personally get around 8-10 of them per day. Yes, per day. Their site is fun to interact with, offering very consistent rewards and large amount of daily surveys. What's nice about being a member of Ipsos is that even if you won't qualify for the survey, you will still receive a small reward. I understand that Ipsos is a very popular and legitimate survey panel, but I can't award it with 5 star review. Why?
♦ Ipsos i-Say uses point reward system. I must admit I am not a big fan of point reward systems. Unfortunately many (or maybe I should say majority) of today's survey panels use such point reward systems. It is currently a survey reality and panelists don't have much of a choice. Points generally do have cash value so it's not that much of a problem, but still, some survey takers find point systems a bit confusing. Conversion of Ipsos i-Say point system is simple: 100 points equals 1 dollar, 1000 points equal $10 and so on. Basic rewards may not pay much, but the number of invitations allows quick earnings.
♦ As I mentioned earlier, aside from paid surveys Ipsos i-Say also offers focus groups and product tests. So far I had no luck with qualifying to any of their focus groups, but I did participate in many product tests. These tests are my favorite form of interacting with research companies. I get to try (and keep) new products not yet available to public, which is kind of cool. So far I was lucky to test perfumes, washing detergents, bathroom tissues, laundry detergents, energy bars and many, many other products. Very often I am happy with the results so I end up purchasing more of these tested products after they finely hit the market.
♦ At Ipsos panel every survey that you were screened out from counts as completed and it is entered for a monthly sweepstake draw. If you complete (finish or get screen out) most of the surveys you were invited to, then after 3 months you will become a VIP member. As soon as you reach VIP status your name will be entered into an annual car drawing. Ipsos i-Say also enters all new members into quarterly $5000 drawing.
♦ You can redeem your rewards for cash as soon as you reach 1500 points ($15). You can cash out earlier (at 1000 points) if you choose other rewards like for example Amazon.com gift cards After you request your check it will arrive within 5-8 weeks, which is a standard in online research world. You can chose different reward forms like Amazon.com gift codes for example. This reward will arrive much faster than the check.

♦ Ipsos i-Say sends e-mail survey invitations to inform their panelists that new surveys are available. E-mails do not have specifics of these surveys. Members need to log in to see the details. Unfortunately, due to copyrighted nature of Ipsos i-Say website I am not able to post any examples of their survey invitations.
