So im giving them 3 stars only because i was able to cash out the first time, after waiting a few days because of unavailable reward funds, from what i found out on Google searches. But now im at about
$12 and still unable to cash out after several tries and using many payout options even including donating a couple dollars to Ipsos foundation but still with no results...and just a heads up for anyone else experiencing the same issues, whenever the page goes blank it usually always means they don't have enough funds available to allow you to cash out at that time. Either way good luck to anyone else since this seems to be a very good survey site as far as earning points quickly but the problem of course is when or if you will even be able to cash out??
But i would suggest using PAYPAL since Ipsos does charge a .25 cent transaction fee and so it's one payment method they would likely prefer to use above any other.
Crappy survey site
I sat and did the whole survey and it screwed me out if my points. The site is a shitty rip off.

My experience with Ipsos isay over the past few months has been rewarding. I feel like my opinion is valued Has also helps me be able to purchase much needed Walmart gift cards for my household
Untrustworthy
I only completed one task and I'm yet to be paid, I've made multiple attempts to check in on the status of my payment and I'm just ignored,
I'm glad I didn't do more than one task because I would have been hundreds of dollars out of pocket and what looks like no chance of being paid for the work that was done.
2 months on and I'm still waiting....

After answering enough surveys to cash out suddenly get a shadow ban for no reason. Had to contact support to find out. What a scam.
Very annoyed
Very annoyed. I I had installed the vpn. So for the last 2 years ipsos saw EVERYTHING. But went in to cash out 389,oo0 points and the next day they asked me to remove knowledge panel.
Disturbed by them at 8.50pm
Disturbed by them at 8.50pm, asked to take part in market research, I asked it they are serious contacting me at 9pm, the guy responded, correcting me that it’s 8.50!!
This is not the first time they contacted me, they have been bothering me since Covid!
I’ve requested they delete my data AGAIN!!
Emails about unclaimed rewards are…
Emails about unclaimed rewards are going unanswered.
They are so crap
They are so crap, I can barely be annoyed writing about them.
Ignore e-mails, send dummy researches, don't send the vouchers they promised - its all over these pages.
SHAME SHAME SHAME - give a whole new perspective to the word shameless.
Appeared to be scam, sharp practice re reward
I have been asked by Ipsos UK twice, via land-mails, to complete surveys on behalf of UK Home Office. I felt this would be a public spirited thing to do.
On the first occasion I was wary of a scam. I could find no mention of the survey on the Home Office website. I emailed the Home Office and received no response, I phoned the contact number given on the Home Office website and asked for the Home Office official named on the Ipsos letter. The switchboard could not find a number. I lay the blame for this at the door of both Home Office and Ipsos. Home Office should publicly endorse surveys carried out on their behalf but equally, as specialist contractors, Ipsos should liaise with Home Office to ensure this sort of thing does not happen. I had received no answer after several reminders so concluded that this was probably a scam and did not complete the survey.
On the second occasion I received a similar land-mail. I again looked on the Home Office website and finding no mention of the survey emailed Home Office partly to draw their attention to a possible scam carried out in their name. I was told by a member of Home Office staff they had just seen the named official and he had reassured them verbally that the survey was genuine. NB still nothing in writing on the Home Office site or from the named Home Office official.
I completed the survey. Although it was not my primary motivation I had been told there would be a modest gift as a reward for completion. I later received an offer of a selection of various vouchers from a third party organisation.
Claiming this involved signing up to the third party's T&C. I did not want to devote time to reading these. There was no information on any independent scrutiny of the T&C. My contract was with Ipsos, not any third party. If Ipsos have a contract with Hawk Select that is their concern. It is not acceptable to attempt to add additional T&C after a contract has been made. It is for Ipsos to supply the gift.
In fact most of the vouchers were from things I have no interest in. Probably I would have had to top up the amount to buy anything. My request for the value in cash was refused. After a fruitless exchange of emails the CEO of Ipsos (in Paris?) offered to pay out of his own pocket on receipt of my bank details. This seemed a pragmatic and ethical way forward so I agreed and said alternatively the money could be donated to charity. I have no evidence that any payment has been made, it certainly has not to my account.
All in all poor planning and amateur standards of organisation by both Home Office and Ipsos.
I’ve been a IPSOS and Knowledge Panel…
I’ve been a IPSOS and Knowledge Panel for years. Recently I’ve been asked to join CLEAR ID to prove who I am. I think this is stupid and just a way of not showing trust in your customers. I am personally cashing out and then quitting both survey spots! You don’t trust me after all these years, I don’t trust you on this site either.
Membership reinstated and points redeemed.
I'm evidently a member again and have successfully redeemed my points. I never received a reply from Ipsos regarding my non member status, I just received a invite to a survey. Hopefully I will not have any issues going forward. Will update as needed.
Department of Transport ????
After waiting a long time to receive my voucher I contacted them and finally a £5 voucher was sent by email. When I tried to redeem the voucher it was below the minimum requirement of £10 so I am unable to cash it in. Avoid this as it is clearly a scam and I am extremely disappointed if Ipsos are genuinely connected to the Department of Transport.
I am so mad
I am so mad. I have been doing their surveys for years. Now I tried to redeem 2 $25 Amazon gift cards, they deducted my points and never gave me the cards. No answer to my numerous emails.

Harrassment is NOT ok
Keep getting harassed everyday by this company. Multiple times a day during when the National Student survey is open. Once everyday after that. every year I can to send a complaint to stop harrassing me. Such an awful “research” company.
Disappointing Experience – Bias, Poor Communication & Unprofessional Conduct
I have had an extremely frustrating experience with Ipsos New Zealand’s mystery shopping service. Despite meeting all stated criteria and having **over 15 years of experience**, I have consistently encountered **biased selection practices**, tasks being assigned and revoked without justification, and **severe delays in communication**.
It has become increasingly clear that **evaluators are not chosen based on merit**, but rather through a selective and unfair process. Ipsos also fails to **properly acknowledge errors**, disregards feedback, and **assigns tasks at inadequate incentives** without considering evaluators’ input. Furthermore, professional standards are lacking, with **dismissive and coercive responses** from certain representatives.
For a company of Ipsos’s stature, **transparency and fairness should be a priority**, yet they continue to fall short. If you value **honest selection, reasonable compensation, and professional communication**, I strongly **advise looking elsewhere** for mystery shopping opportunities.
