Advantages: Definitely one up on most of the surveys sites out there Disadvantages: You don't know how many points you'll get prior to completion of a survey
I?ve been a member of Ipsos Access Panels (which I?ll refer to as Ipsos from here on in) since before 2006 and thought it might be useful to share my experiences of the site with potential and existing members.
WHAT IS IT?
Ipsos claims to be the leading provider in Europe of market research surveys using access panels. Access panels being members of the public who fill in online surveys. Ipsos Access Panels are part of the Ipsos Group which was founded in 1975 and listed on the Paris Stock Exchange in July 1999. I?m fairly sure you don?t want to read all about the company?s history, so moving swiftly on...
HOW TO JOIN
Contrary to what has been written elsewhere you CAN?T join Ipsos by just going to the website. You need to be sent a personalised invitation to join the panel or join by clicking through from banners ...
Advantages: Lot's of surveys and good rewards Disadvantages: Only vouchers and some surveys are repetitive.
I can?t remember how many survey sites I have joined since I had the internet. Not all survey sites make you earn a big fortune or evaluate your views in a joyful way! To be honest; most surveys are cyclically long and uninspiring.

I used to sign up in every single survey site I found, either for money and to fill up my time. Anyway. . .I won?t encourage you to join the bad sites lol. . .I will only suggest the decent ones and Ipsos is one of the first-rate and astonishing survey sites and I can highly recommend it for you to join (if you like filling out surveys)
First, who?s Ipsos? (The company, who are you ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Ipsos Access Panel
membership to this site is by invitation only. They do not allow self-registration to their panel. Panel members are recruited by Ipsos only they send out personal email invitations to eligible members. They also use advertising banners placed on selected websites looking for specific criteria so if you see these then click on them and apply to sign up quickly as they don't stay around for long.
As a panel member you will be sent out various surveys on a variety of topics. I tend to receive two or three of these on a weekly basis. They can vary in length and are worth points which can be redeemed for gift vouchers of well known high street stores. Shorter surveys will be worth less points and can take around five minutes to fill out while the longer ones can last an hour. In addition they can also ask panel members to test a variety ...
