Managed to save up 1627 points, went to try to points, and they seem to have removed the redeem button entirely, making it actually impossible to redeem points. Now I have no way of using said points, and am thusly out fifteen dollars which doesnt sound like much, but Im low income and fifteen dollars is actually a significant amount to me In the attached screenshot, you will see that there is no redeem button where once it was located just beneath the product/gift card information, and you will see that I have just over fifteen dollars worth of points.Business response

I did a whole bunch of surveys that added up to 20 dollars and they terminated me for no reason. I answered to the best of my ability and I made ***** in two days. They say I did something fraudulent but I haven't. This company just is upset that I made twenty dollars too fast.Business response

I completed multiple surveys and hours worth of time. Only when I tried to cash out my **** worth of points for surveys completed was I told that my account has been closed due to my profile not meeting their customers needs. They sent you a response that you agreed when signing up that they can close your account at anytime. I am fairly certain that this should also not include the ability to not pay a consumer for survey work already completed. I was cheated out of **** and an upcoming 100 survey that I qualified for.Business response

I get a lot of your surveys on survey panels, complete them, and Im congratulated for completing them, but they say Im not qualified at the end. I have one here as an example. What happens to these surveys, and what causes them to complete with no issues but then end up saying that someone isnt qualified. What happens to the data you collect with them when someone is not compensated by the surveys. Did you receive the survey? What happens to the data that I gave?

I joined IpsosiSay, an online survey website, a couple of months ago and I recently tried to redeem **** points and was unable to do so. The website stated that I did not have enough points available to redeem a reward however I did have enough points. I sent a message to IpsosiSay through their website informing them that I was having trouble redeeming points and they advised me that my account was deleted because my answers to their surveys were not trustworthy. That is far from the truth. I provided IpsosiSay with trustworthy answers to their surveys along with my personal information (e.g., DOB, postal code, etc) and they went ahead and deleted my account without any notification. I am very disappointed at the quality of service I received from this company as I took time out of my day to answer their surveys truthfully and now I cannot redeem my points for a reward.Business response

On 12/05/2023, I participated in an online focus study for the DISHWASHING STUDY. I got their by way through IPSOS-ISAY survey router - not a panel - to participate in this study. It was for a grueling THREE hours for a 100 Amazon gift card which I have not received. I need it before Christmas and it is already late. Again, I am not affiliated with their panel, I was recruited through an online survey. Therefore, my original GPT panel is not responsible for distributing the gift card.(EMail header for recruitment by IPSOS): Opportunity to receive 100 USD : appointment is tomorrow ( ************ 3 )I have e-mailed a few times and they insist I am not part of their panel and call their panel, BUT ITWAS THEIR SURVEY THAT RECRUITED ME.

Almost one year ago I completed a survey for ***'s ****** of ****** Health via Ipsos. For completing the survey I am entitled to $30 paid either by a check mailed to my house or an Amazon gift card, I choose to have a check mailed to me. I never received the check in the mail. After several months of waiting I called the customer service number and they confirmed the check had been mailed but never cashed, they said they would "escalate the issue." After several more months of waiting I called again. I was again told they would "escalate the issue." I asked if a new check could be mailed to me or if I could instead be given the Amazon gift card, but they said they were investigating the issue and could not change the reward payment to the gift card. I called customer service at least three times and spoke to three different agents, none of whom assisted me and all said they would call me back with an update. Two months ago I emailed the customer support address (email chain included) and they too did not assist me and assured me they would contact me with any updates. After contacting Ipsos over six times by phone and email over the course of about ******************************************************** email with any updates and have not been paid.Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:It has been almost one year of waiting and several months of "investigating." In that time, no one has reached out to me via phone or email. The only time I hear from Ipsos is when I reach out to them. Why can they not give an estimate of how long this will take to resolve?

Ispos (ISay) advertises on social media to get people to join and give their opinions to complete surveys. Then they shut down our accounts with no notice or explanation, and not letting us redeem the points that we have accumulated from taking their surveys. They just did this to me after I spent hours completing opinion surveys and accumulating enough points to redeem a $10 Target gift card. I contacted the company and their excuse was they can terminate me for marketing reasons. Ispos has a rule that if your account is terminated they give you 10 days to redeem any points you earned, but they refuse to honor this rule as well.Business response

In October I was invited to take part in a 3 day panel called moments throughout your day it involved taking 2 surveys a day for 3 days. I completed all 6 surveys and now they are refusing to pay me the $35 I was told I would receive. I have reached out to them and they claim to have no record of me. I have shown them proof of completion and they still refuse to pay me. i gave them my time and i deserve to be paid. non payment is equal to theft. i was counting on that money for christmas and i am just sick over their refusal to pay me for my time. $35 may not seem like much to them but i am unemployed and disabled and desperately need that moneyBusiness response

Hello,
We have contacted the relevant department that handles this study, and were informed that the member was not eligible for the reward, as members eligible to receive the $35 Gift vouchers are the ones who complete the diary 3 days in a row ( 6 entries -> twice per day). The respondent completed the diary for 3 days in a row, but unfortunately on the last day(the 3rd day)had only one recording.
