2017 Highlights
HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW LANDING PAGE?
October - ongoing
We are always looking for new ideas to improve the website
and make it more interesting for our members.
Thanks to your precious feedback, we have updated our landing pages to not only
reflect what Toluna is all about, but to also make it easier for users to understand how
to use our website. We have already updated most of our sites globally and are working
on launching it in all languages as soon as possible.
NEW FRIEND REFERRAL FEATURE
November
We have recently optimised our Referral program
to include a shareable link; making it a lot easier to invite
friends to Toluna.com. Now, you can simply copy/paste
the referral link and share it on the platform of your
choice.
Once your friend has successfully joined, you will receive
500 bonus points for each referral (points limited to 10
new friends per month)

and Updates
WE SAID GOODBYE TO OUR GIFTIES
PROGRAM
July
After 5 years and 7546 winners, we have decided to
put an end to our Gifties program that seemed to be
losing in momentum. Don't worry, we are working hard
to replace it with something that you will be sure to
enjoy.
LAUNCH OF TOLUNA EVENTS
May
Toluna launched a whole new and fun way to share your
opinion and earn points. These exclusive forums are only
open for a short period to small groups with specific
interests. To be selected to participate, simply answer our
short surveys in the Survey Centre. If your profile is a
match, you will receive an exclusive invite to the forum you
qualified for.
END OF MOBILE CONTENT BONUS
May
Since the launch of our latest mobile app in 2015, we have
credited bonus points for the 1st content created via the
app. This bonus was no longer needed, as we are already
awarding points for all quality content created on Toluna,
regardless of device.
Please note that you will still be receiving an extra
500 points for every survey you complete via our mobile
app so don't forget to download it.

grabs: 1x2000€, 1x1000€, 1x500€, 2x150€, 3x100€, 12x75€

I am so happy to be a winner of the Weekly Lottery. When I saw the
points in my account, I could not believe in my eyes. "It must be a
mistake", I thought, but I understood later that I was just lucky. I
used my points for iPhone X on the quarterly lottery in hopes that I
will have a chance for that too. Good luck to everyone.

marionhulzebosch, jhunstonesteel &
Lmam who gives us a review below
Won these Bose QuietComfort 35 Headphones from Toluna and
wow!! They are awesome. They block out any noise around you
and give a smooth, clear, high-quality sound. I love how they are
wireless and I can Bluetooth to my phone to play music as I work
without bothering anyone else, and easily receive calls through
them and get up and move around without worrying about wires
everywhere. I have also used them to play audiobooks for my
7-year-old son (especially on the odd occasion when I have to take him to my meetings
and don't want him to hear any of the conversation). They look good, are comfortable,
very easy to set up and use and they stay charged for ages. I absolutely love these
headphones, we are very grateful to have won them as not something we ever would
have thought to go out and get, but now finding extremely useful and fun, thank you
Toluna.
Stay tuned, our next prize draw starts on 22nd January.
