Presumably you filled out surveys (the opinion kind) for them, and you read their terms and conditions. Apparently you first accumulate points (which might appear to be money, but is not). Then when you have enough, you can redeem them for "magazine subscriptions, cash, music downloads, merchant gift codes from dozens of different brands, online virtual currency, and charitable donations". Before you even get points, "iPoll [needs] a few weeks to process your redemption voucher, as we first screen your responses for honest answers." [www.ipoll.com] IF you expected the get rich quick by completing opinion surveys online, I think that you are in for a surprise. I can't imagine that you completed enough opinion surveys on a single day to qualify for any type of reward. Maybe others have better information, and if so, they will post here. I suggest that you look at your account there, see how points you have, look at the page to redeem points for other stuff, and estimate how long it is going to take you to accumulate enough points to get something you want.

I currently have $26 pending. The earliest date of the pending items is June 6. I could get a gift card for $25 as soon as these points/dollars are approved. My question is, what is the current wait time for approval.

I have to say, I have done a fair amount of surveys, audits and product tests for iPoll. Some projects were reviewed and approved quickly, while others just languished there in pending status - FOR MONTHS. It is true that what you earn, you can redeem for gift cards or cash - HOWEVER - there is another waiting period for that. So after having all of your surveys & assignments go from pending to approved, you can redeem them. When I went to get a $50 gift card for Amazon that I needed to purchase a gift, I was put on the waiting train again. It took several (I think three) weeks to get me a gift card code via email - something which should have been immediate and automated. These folks are slower than the coming of Christmas. The only reason I haven't uninstalled their app, is that I am a couple of bucks away from another $25 reward. You can only redeem in $25 or $50 increments, depending on the gift card or PayPal credit (for a small transaction fee) you choose. As soon as I do that, I am done with them forever. Look into their redemption policies before doing much for them.

Could I have a receipt please?

In my recent experience, pending status took up to a couple months to finalize. After that, getting the $25 Amazon code took a little over a month after that. Definitely not a quick turnaround - but it worked great otherwise so I am happy. Hope that helps!
