Ipsos i-say

[eddieMX07]

I have been a member of Ipsos i-say (http://www.i-say.com/default.aspx) for a long time. When I first joined this panel they did not offer any kind of real incentive besides a entry to a sweepstakes and a little mini game that I always lost. But in April of this year they announced a new reward program that paid with points that could be used to redeem merchandise. Here is some information on their new reward program:

IPSOS I-SAY REWARDS PROGRAM
i-Say panel members earn rewards for each survey they take.
Earn reward points for taking surveys - Points will be deposited one to two days after survey completion.
Once you've earned 50 (or more) points, you can redeem your points for merchandise and gift cards offered by popular retail merchants.
Click on the link below to view your reward points account, redeem rewards or to see what you can get for the points you earn.
REVIEW POINTS ACCOUNT/REDEEM REWARDS
Play our "It's Your Luck Day Instant Win Game" – you are invited to play each time you complete a survey. Several great prizes are awarded daily and you know right away if you've won.
NOTE: i-Tickets earned prior to April 1, 2008 represented entries in the relevant monthly contest. i-Tickets are not the same as points and cannot be "saved" for subsequent months. If you took a survey in April that mentioned i-Tickets, it means the survey began before April 1 and you will not earn points for that survey. Beginning with surveys that launched in April, you will earn reward points, rather than i-Tickets. Watch your email for survey invitations so that you can begin earning reward points for taking surveys.

Members are also entered in other i-Say contests and sweepstakes.
$5000 Quarterly Sweepstakes – new members are automatically entered just for joining. Refer friends and get another chance to win for each eligible referral. Click here for full contest rules.
VIP Car Give-Away – Our most loyal members (members who take most or all of the surveys they are offered) become members of our VIP club and are automatically entered to win a car in our annual contest. Click here to find out more.

Best of All, It's Simple.

We'll also keep track of the reward points you earn and make sure they are deposited in your account. You don't have to worry about a thing. All you need to do is answer the surveys and have fun

[DAMO36]

I have 99 points in my account with Ipsos at the moment and i'm a bit confused about how many points i have to earn in order to redeem my points. Does anyone know on here how many points you need to redeem...let's say a $10 Amazon Gift Certificate??....my guess is you need 100 points but i'm not sure. If anyone knows how this points system works that would be very helpful....

Not all points are created equal...
But i-Say ranks among the best!

We all earn points - whether it’s with our travel points card, by taking surveys, or even at our local gas station. But how much are those points worth? i-Say did the math, and found out what you might actually be earning.

i-Say let’s you earn points for each completed survey. You will earn anywhere from 4-25 points depending on the length of the survey you take. You’ll even earn one point if you’re unable to complete a survey because the study’s quota has been reached before you got to it – it’s our way of saying thank-you for your time.

Doesn’t seem like much? Well, in comparison to other companies offering points, i-Say ranks among the highest in points offered. Our redemption rewards start as low as $5.00, which means you don’t have to earn a lot of points to start redeeming.
Think about it like this…

Our top 5 flicks for the winter season

The holidays are upon us, and in the spirit of the season, we’d like to share a little bit about us this month. Nothing beats curling up in front of the fireplace on a cold winter night and watching some of your favourite movies, right?

We couldn’t agree more, so we polled the gang here at i-Say to find out what some of our top holiday movies are. Next time you’re flipping through your DVD collection looking for a warm winter flick, why not try one of our faves?

Here’s what we’re watching this winter season while we cuddle up on the couch and sip hot chocolate:


Our points system allows you to redeem faster and for more rewards. What it comes down to is: our points are worth more.

Some companies don’t allow you to redeem your points until you have hundreds, if not thousands of points (take many travel programs for example), which can take a long time to accumulate. i-Say allows redemptions after only 50 points. With 1-11 surveys offered per month, you can be redeeming those points very quickly, or choose to save up your points for even bigger rewards later on.

The best part is you’ll never spend a cent on i-Say. A lot of companies expect you to spend your money in order to receive ‘reward points.’ Here at i-Say we appreciate your time and value your opinion. That’s why we offer you reward points just for taking surveys!

We have compared several different points programs (not just survey-based companies) and i-Say scores very well when it comes to: value of individual points, variety and range of redemption points. All things that matter to you, the panelist.

Many companies offer reward points – but not all companies make it easy to earn rewards. Earning points and being rewarded are only two of the many benefits that come with being an i-Say panel member. To check your points balance or to redeem your points for great rewards, visit www.i-say.com and don’t forget to check your inbox frequently for new surveys from i-Say.

Ipsos i-Say gives away a car to a VIP member like you!

On Tuesday, March 31, 2009 Ipsos i-Say representatives traveled to North Carolina to award panel member Jennifer Gattis (McCleansville, NC) with a 2009 Toyota Prius. Gattis is the winner of i-Say’s annual VIP draw. Congratulations to Jennifer and her family! Stay tuned in to our website for live footage and more photos from the event.

HOW TO BE A VIP & BE ENTERED TO WIN

All you need to do is take most or all of the surveys we send your way. To qualify, you need to meet two criteria:

* Take one or more surveys each month for the last three consecutive months.
AND
* Answer at least half the surveys we send you in a 3-month period. If you don’t answer at least half, but answer 12 or more, that will count!

I am addicted to the poll predictor game. Someday I need to check my points but I love that game.

I like the Predictor game too but it always takes so long to load for me for some strange reason.....worth waiting for though....i seem to be quite good at it.:)

Yes, but have you won with all the chances earned?

[DAMO36]

I haven't won a damn thing....lol

[LapisLee]

I am not a big fan of IPSOS-I Say, but they do have $10 Amazon gift certicates for 100 points (and other prizes for as low as 50 points). They are pretty low on my survey site food chain, which is why I only have 42 points with them so far.

[DAMO36]

Right now i have almost 400 points with Ipsos and usually collect around 30 points a month with them. I'll be saving my points for Amazon gift certificates for Christmas. Damn!....can't believe i mentioned Christmas already!!!:p

[maplaver]

They now pay with CASH and not GC or MERCHANDISE... awesome!


ºYou may redeem your points for cash. After your order has been placed, you will receive a check from Ipsos I-say in the mail.º

[DAMO36]

That's great news!!!!.....i'll go check that out right now and hopefully order a check from them....

[vwilliams55]
