Rewards and points

Ipsos iSay uses points rather than assigning one fixed cash amount to every survey. Reward values can differ between studies, so members should check the displayed points before taking part.

We haven't found a reliable current average reward per survey, so we don't publish one.

Reward options

Current options include PayPal, gift cards and a Virtual Visa prepaid card. Gift-card brands and other catalogue details can change, so the member reward catalogue remains the final source at the point of redemption.

Current Ipsos iSay reward redemption options
Reward type	Current threshold	Notes
Gift cards	From £5 / 500 points	Many gift-card options
PayPal	£15 / 1,527 points	Higher threshold than many £5 gift cards
Virtual Visa	Available	Current options may change

PayPal vs gift cards

Many gift cards currently start at £5 for 500 points, while PayPal requires £15 for 1,527 points. PayPal may appeal to users who value cash-like flexibility. Some gift cards may suit users who prefer reaching a smaller redemption threshold. Neither option is universally preferable; the practical choice depends on how a member wants to use the reward.

Survey availability

Survey availability can vary significantly between members. Profile details, demographics and current research studies all affect which opportunities appear and whether a member qualifies. Ipsos iSay should not be described as offering daily surveys, a fixed weekly count or predictable earnings.

Mobile app

Official Ipsos iSay apps are available for iOS and Android, and surveys can also be accessed through the web. We confirmed official mobile availability, but we have not personally tested the app experience yet. We therefore make no claim about app speed, stability or ease of use.
