Toluna - survey site
I joined the Toluna community on July 23rd of 2011. I had heard about the site from one of the deals sites that I follow. It said that they were accepting new members so I decided to try it out.
Mostly the points accrued on this site are from regular surveys that they send you in an e-mail. Surveys range from 1,000 - 12,000 (approximately) based on how involved the survey is. The most points I have gotten was 20,000 for buying Neutrogena foundation and taking a survey on how it worked and how I like it. Basically the points for that one paid for the foundation (plus I had a coupon, so it made it an even better deal) and a little extra. They also have just recently started allowing participants to sign up for product tests. Once you sign up, they pick a certain amount who fit the profile that is wanted by the company and they send out a free product. Once you try the product, you answer a survey to let the company know what you thought of it.
So far, I have redeemed 150,000 points for 2 $25 dollar gift vouchers which I then used to get 2 $25 Amazon gift cards. They have many different stores you can choose to get gift cards from, but I really like Amazon and you can buy almost anything from them.
I would definitely recommend this survey site. I have not even been a member for a year and have gotten $50 and am on my way to another one. You also have the option to cash out to get a $20 check at 60,000 points or a $50 reward bucks voucher for 150,000 points. I have chosen to cash out for a $25 voucher at 75,000 points.
