Something About Toluna

Hi all,
I had to check my favorite website links that I haven't used for more than a year, to find Mylot and Toluna links yesterday. These two were quite good, Toluna and Mylot work on common factor. Both reward their users My lot gives in dollars and cents and, Toluna gives them their own Toluna points, which needs to be redeemed appropriately when one earns enough points.

The Good
Until some time ago, there was no way to redeem points for people who registered and used Toluna from India, but soon, Indiatimes vouchers, and Flipkart vouchers were made available. I would have welcomed if Toluna users were paid for points with dollars via Paypal. In fact many of my discussions and polls were always based on, need for improved payment method at Toluna.
There are many independent short surveys available for a user at Toluna, which keep the points coming in. Also, Toluna awards points, when one answers the questions posed by others with more than 30 words(May be more now, haven't checked).
There are also other long surveys, which award higher points. There is also a tutorial available from Toluna, about how to earn more points.  For different country users, options available for redeeming points may differ.

Be Warned!
I had earned more than 40,000 points at Toluna, never entered Sweepstake entries, for I always found them to be a way of taking away points by Toluna. A sweepstake winner would always be the one, who hadn't used Toluna for more than a month. I myself found such congratulatory wishes from few people when I had not logged in for more than a year.

Is it Safe?
But they haven't forfieted my account or took away my points, for not using my account for more than a year. My points were safe, and I remember applying for two, 200 rupee Indiatimes voucher(You need a minimum of 20,000 points to redeem coupons or being rewarded). I went and checked for it today, they are there, safe, I just need to shop online to redeem these coupons.

Are You suitable?
For a person, who is able to spend lots of time, creating polls, opening discussions and answering questions, it is a good way to earn decent points. Remember, You are always safer, without entering a sweepstake.
Happy registering then..
