AVOID at all costs. NOT genuine at all or very badly run.
I agreed to carry a device with me for a few weeks and daily enter details of my travels. In return I was promised $70 as well as an extra $5 for filling in a survey prior to starting.
I returned the device at the end of the period, as requested and was advised they had received it. However NO payment has been forthcoming since despite THREE emails to them - the first two of which received a response but no result.
As a consequence I now have to assume they are either disastrously badly run or are a complete scam who never had any intention to pay their debts.
My advice to anyone who they ask to do any sort of survey, is to save yourself the effort and frustration at the end when you dont get paid.

Dommage de ne pas pouvoir mettre 0…
Dommage de ne pas pouvoir mettre 0 étoile. Si j’avais lu les avis avant, je ne me serais pas embêtée à participer à leur enquête. J’ai dû porter un boîtier pendant 10 jours, rallongés de 5 jours car soit disant il n’avait pas fonctionné … pourtant j’enregistrais moi même les résultats chaque jour … au final, après plusieurs réclamations, on m’annonce que je n’aurai pas la récompense car le boîtier n’a pas fonctionné. C’est de la malhonnêteté. À dénoncer à la DGCCRF.

Holding my $69 hostage
I had successfully and happily been using them for months doing surveys and product testing. I have tested so many products. I was extremely happy with them. Until I did a focus group for them in June. It was for 5000 points -$50. I was supposed to get the points within 15 days. A month goes by, no points. Meanwhile I've emailed them with no response. I continue doing surveys and recieving products to test, earning $19. I email them again about my 5000 points. Nothing. I notice that I stop getting surveys. I don't get follow up surveys for my product tests that I spent a lot of time completing. A few more emails sent, with one response that they will look into it and get back to me shortly. They don't. August 3rd I try to cash out my $19 and I can't, not in PayPal, which I've always used, why I signed up in the first place, or any giftcards. I email them again. August 7th they get get back to me, saying they will look into the 5000 points, nothing about my account being canceled or why I can't cash out. Today, August 30, 2022, I get an email that they added the 5000 points but they also canceled ,"terminated", my account as they can do for any reason. I've never broken TOS, had multiple accounts, been late on a product review, or lied or given any false information on any survey. The only thing I did was repeatedly, very nicely I might add, ask for my money. So I go to cash out my $69 in points and still can't cash out. I email them, they now say the points were added before they terminated me, no mam they were not, they were added today because I checked last night, and that because of the termination of my account they can only give me an Amazon gift card. I don't use Amazon. I don't want an Amazon giftcard. I don't want any giftcard. All I want is my $69 that I rightly earned in my PayPal which is an option, the one I've always chosen. I didn't choose to cancel my account, my account was in great standing when I earned the $69 but now they don't want to pay. They say they can't because my account is terminated. Yes, because I asked for my money for a service I did for them. I have never had any company do this to me and I've been doing surveys & focus groups for years. I always choose PayPal because I have terminal liver disease and can't work, and you can't pay bills with crap from Amazon. They have stopped emailing me when I told them that an Amazon giftcard was unacceptable. I've never written a negative review in my life, but I am literally so upset over this. I counted on that money, and they are playing God. It's so sad that one if the biggest product testing/survey companies treats people like this. I should feel sick over this but it's not fair and it's not right. I'd say if you are going to use this company be careful because it started out great but if you ask for money you earned they will terminate you and withhold it from you, unless you take the Amazon giftcard.

Misrepresentation of the Purpose of Survey
I originally received a letter in the post saying a rep would visit me to do a survey about tv viewing. I emailed that I did not wish to participate but a gentleman still came to my door who I turned away.
I then received another letter inviting me to do an online survey about tv viewing on behalf of the industry. I started the online survey which was quite detailed but stopped when the questions became intrusive and personal, eg were you a manager, how many staff, what was your job title, with no option to ‘prefer nit to say’. Clearly this company have another agenda which they do not mention at the outset. I have learnt my lesson and will not be doing any more surveys!

After getting involved in so many…
After getting involved in so many survey from this ipsos, once it's submitted, it reads "you have been disqualified" what? After putting my precious time?? This is total scam. Nothing but to get people's opinion without a reward. Horrible

Zero rewards available for redemption for months.
i have been messaging Ipsos since March 2022 asking when Rewards were going to be available for redemption as the range availability was depleting every day. Its now August. Same response, wait a few weeks. Yet they still send survey invitations. I have over $170 worth of rewards points to redeem and I can't use any of it. Do not join this site.
