Toluna NZ Review: Taking Paid Surveys with Toluna

This page contains compensated links. Read the disclosure for more info

Toluna is one of my favourite paid surveys sites in New Zealand.

To show you why I enjoy this site so much I wanted to do a Toluna NZ review so you can decide if this is a good survey site for you to join.

Firstly, a quick look around the Toluna dashboard (you can download the app too – but I prefer to take surveys on my laptop, when possible).

My Honest Toluna NZ Review

Toluna NZ is part of the ThinkAction network, offering survey panels all across the world.

They are a big name in the survey world, which makes me comfortable that I can participate with them long-term.

The Toluna Survey Centre


The Survey Centre is basically your dashboard. It’s where you can see which surveys are available for you to take and how much they are worth.

What I like about Toluna:

Toluna gives you points just for signing up, plus you can earn an extra 100 points for filling out more in-depth profile surveys.

This means you can earn from surveys before technically completing a survey.

They also give you extra points for referring friends.

I’ve always enjoyed taking surveys on the Toluna site as the interface is clean and modern (others could learn from them) and makes you want to stick around.

I get frequent emails from Toluna to take surveys.

I’ve always had plenty of opportunities to take surveys, with frequent emails inviting me to participate.

Remember, one of the best ways to succeed with paid surveys is to have a complete profile.

This way, the emails you receive to take online surveys will be targeted to you, and you are not wasting time ‘qualifying’ for surveys that are not right for you.

What I might change:

Just last night, I spent 5 minutes filling out a survey only to be deemed unsuitable.

I know this is the name of the game, and it doesn’t happen often, but I would really love if Toluna could enter a message stating that I had been rejected from the survey, rather than just redirecting me to the survey centre without a note as to why.

A nice extra touch is that you are entered in the sweepstakes draw if you don’t qualify, so your time is not for nothing.

Toluna NZ Rewards

toluna rewards
Toluna is one of the only survey sites that pay cash in New Zealand.

Their threshold for payment by Paypal is 20400 points for $10NZD.

This is slightly higher than the 19,500 required for a $10 Mighty Ape voucher.

I don’t think it would take much time to accumulate this many points, especially if you kept an eye on your email and hopped into the surveys as soon as you could.

Toluna offers a solid survey panel for New Zealanders to share their opinions and be rewarded for doing so. It’s a site I keep returning to, and I recommend you check it out too.
