Freebies for completing Online Surveys (Juicy Brains Panel etc)

[mccawz]

Got an email today inviting me to join this panel today.
You get £1 + 25p for joining then you get paid for other surveys. Money can be exchanged for Amazon Vouchers when you reach £5.


We are getting in touch to see if you would be interested in receiving special offers from Cadbury and other well known brands like Persil, PG, Dove and Lynx and to share your opinions once in a while.

If you are interested, please take a few moments to join the Juicy Brains Panel, hosted by our research partners at BrainJuicer® Ltd.

You will receive a £1 'thank you' for joining and another £1 every time you complete a survey (or entry into a prize draw if it is a not-for-profit project).

www.juicybrainspanel.com/Join/Cadbury/ (takes just 3-4 minutes).

[juno]

This is a good site, but the surveys aren't that often. I got my first voucher a while ago :)

[sparky61]

I think they're great. I get surveys sent quite frequently.
So far I've had £20 in Amazon vouchers.
:)

[MimiJane]

I've had 3 surveys through in the last month. ;D

It depends on your profile as to how many you get no doubt. !I've collected about £20's worth of Amazon vouchers during the year or so I've been doing the surveys. !They're fun to do as well ... very different to other surveys.

They're also very good at answering any queries you may have. !In the past, they've had trouble sending the vouchers to my email address and have always been most helpful in sorting it out. !Highly recommended. !;D

[DING_DONG]

;)Oh, I'd forgot about these. I joined about 6 months ago but then changed to b-band. Thanks for the reminder!! ;)

[catznine]

Thanks for this, I often spend money at amazon! don't mind answering some questions to save some pennies!!

[N9eav]

I cashed in my points for a £5 voucher. Never seen it. Complained and heard nothing!!!! Anyone tell me how the voucher came? Or how I can get mine. My points have gone and no dosh to spend

Keep emailing Cedric. I've always found him very helpful. Because he had no success emailing the voucher, he sent me the code in the end, which is all you need anyway.

[angel]

I've only had one survey this year from them. Maybe I'm a popular profile group? :-/ :)

[droopsnout]

Brain Juicers are my favourite surveys (in terms of completing the online questions). They are quite enjoyable to do, unlike some of the long and tedious ones you get. I've had no problem getting my Amazon vouchers, which have been sent promptly.

I would recommend this survey company, and rank them second to Pinecone Research (thanks again, Sparky!)

[BoltonMinx]

Lovely, Ive applied and earnt 1.25 in about 5 mins :D

[Squidgy]

I'm on the juicy brains panel, but have only had three surveys so far. :-/

I have better results with GFK. I often get surveys for them and I do the monthly diary too, which you get paid for as well.

[Stumpy]

Thanks for this. Like their website as well. ;D

[bell]

Ive made £10 this year on this site... got me the Eminem Cd for nothing \o/

[MimiJane]

You could try updating your profile to show you have 10 children, 3 partners and a house full of animals. ??? ;D

[johnllew]

I cashed in my points for a £5 voucher. !Never seen it. !Complained and heard nothing!!!! ! Anyone tell me how the voucher came?
My voucher came very quickly by email - there must be a glitch somewhere in your case.

[midvixen]

Thanks for this one. I am one of those sad people who love filling out questionnaires!!

Merry Christmas to all !!! HO HO HO

[Squidgy]

I take it all back. Had a brain juicing just now. :-[

[shanz_mum]

just signed up hope they send me some survays

[KM1976]

:D Thank you so much! I LOVE filling in surveys. I LOVE free things. So this is perfect!

Hi Squidgy. How do you get involved with GFK? Had a look on their site but couldnt find the relevant info. Ta!

[Squidgy]

I think there was a link through this site, but I just went to the website and registered.

I'm not sure how they chose people to do the monthly diaries though? You get £1 for each diary you do and put in to the prize draw.

HTH

Squidge

[lynharmer]

::)Great I joined on Wednesday earnt £1.25 did my first survey on Thursday and got another £1
brilliant : ;D

[queensway_boy]

Thanks,joined up 8)

I had the same problem and 9 months later I still havn't received the vouchers.

[kupz]

Do they send anything to your home address? Do you get any phone calls?

[sparky61]

Do they send anything to your home address? Do you get any phone calls?

They pay you by Amazon e-voucher which is emailed to you. ( nothing through the post)
And they don't telephone you.
I can't recommend them highly enough
:)

Squidge

After joining GFK on their web site, I got a 'phone call a short while later "inviting" me to complete a monthly diary. They also asked if I wanted to complete a TV questionnaire, which involves listing the programmes you watch every day/night and ticking boxes to say what you think of them.

The diaries are very long and laborious to fill in for a £1 voucher in my opinion, but I have won a £5 Amazon voucher through doing the TV questionnaire (in the first month!).

[kupz]

Thanks, maybe just give a fake number and see what happens.

[rozzid]

Thanks for this one - I spend a fortune at Amazon so any vouchers will definately help.

[fish1000]

I've spent my first £5 voucher! (Put it towards a Zen Micro) - I look forward to earning more!

[ugy101]

hi,

i dont know if you guys have heard of this one, but the one i use is gozing surveys:

http://www.gozingsurveys.com/survey_site/index.asp?

i find this the best survey payout site, within about 4 - 5 months i have completed about 5 - 6 surveys and have recieved about $16 into my paypal account, (they still have some to pay me yet).

the thing i like about this is that you get a lot of surveys and it pays you cash (well sort of, paypal)

i think you should give it a try,

thanks

[rchddap1]

Haven't even't got my first voucher from Juicy Brains. They never send me any surveys

[sparky61]

Haven't even't got my first voucher from Juicy Brains. They never send me any surveys

Hi rchddap
It might be worth logging into your account and updating your profile.
I do this when the surveys seem to dry up, and it might be coincidence but I find they start sending them again.
hth
:)

[rchddap1]

I've done that twice already.

[blinko]

gozing is good its just they take ages to pay and the pay in dollars :( so its good for internet purchases from america etc other than that by the time u convert it to sterling its half its value !!! but juicybrains panel is the best out there i think.

and dont worry mate i dont et any surveys either !!!

[MimiJane]

I still think Quickwise.co.uk are the best ... £1 for all surveys, they're all short and some are only one question! Once you've reached £9, you can opt to have the money transferred to your bank account andI receive 2/3 surveys a month on average. Also, you are notified by text (if you choose), as well as by email :-

www.quickwise.co.uk (http://www.quickwise.co.uk/)

[Amberrc197]

I like the colour of the page It feels warm Lol....

[justjenny]

I registered my partner aswell. So i now get twice as many surveys. The even pay you 25p if you match the target group.

[tracetracey]

Thanks, Don't Mind Doing Surveys & Nice To Be Paid For It! Earned £1.25 In 5 Mins!

[calleyw]

I had the same problem and 9 months later I still havn't received the vouchers.

Strange that, I cashed in £10 yesterday and got the voucher today via e-mail.

£10 towards my new printer :j

Yours

Calley

[MimiJane]

I always get my Amazon vouchers the following day ... never had a problem.

[perriless]

I joined Juicy wotsits a couple of months ago, but only got one survey - nothing since. Has anyone tried Quickwise? You get points. which amount to cash; £3 to enrol and answer a survey, and £1 for each survey following enrollment. They do ask a lot of questions though, that you might not want to answer.

[shays_mum]

i'm with pine cone, they are pretty good, but is there any others that pay in luncheon vouchers or plain money?

[PONDSAVER]

Has Anyone Tried Ciao.co.uk - They Pay In Cash Direct Into Your Bank Account - I Get Surveys Probably Weekly - And I Have Claimed £8 Cash From Them And It Appeared In My Account About A Fgortnight Later....really Good.

[droopsnout]

Ciao ... I'm not usually in their target group. And many of their surveys are through OTX, and their surveys won't run on Firefox.

Quickwise ... I've had one survey invitation from them since joining on 30 June. That was on 12 July.

Juicy Brains ... As I said in December, this is my favourite after Pinecone, but surveys seem to have dried up recently. Last one was 15 July.

Pinecone ... Last one was 24 June.

GoZing ... Lots of invitations received, but mostly they arrive too late and the survey is closed, or else I don't fit into their target group.

YouGov are very good ... I've just claimed my first reward from them: a cheque for £50. (www.yougov.com) These are mostly political surveys, and you are paid by cheque, but £50 is the minimum and only reward.

There are also IPSOS, THS, Hi-Points, SongPeople, Test & Vote/Toluna, Opinion World, Valued Opinions, Knots Club, Lightspeed, Sky News Panel, Synovate, Shoppers Team, Zoom Panel, NOP, Greenfield Online, EuroPanel and Global Test Market.

I'm sure a quick Google will find the websites for you, but really I don't recommend most of them.

[billieboy]

Has Anyone Tried Ciao.co.uk - They Pay In Cash Direct Into Your Bank Account - I Get Surveys Probably Weekly - And I Have Claimed £8 Cash From Them And It Appeared In My Account About A Fgortnight Later....really Good.
I got my first payment about 7 weeks after I asked for it. A lot of the surveys I'm not "suitable" for. Will keep going with them as they pay cash.

[rachelja]

I'm a suvey addict too - had a bumper night tonight and earned about £28 in just over an hour, pretty boring stuff but is worth it for the cash. Had 3 from Ciao and qualified for 2 (not bad), one from Zoom, one from Valued Opinions, one from Yougov, and one from Planetpanel. Must say Valued Opinons are one of my fave (£5 tesco voucher on it's way), followed by Ciao and Planet Panel if they pay up - was my first survey for $25 into paypal. Will have to look up some of the other ones mentioned earlier on in this post, pays better than my regular job on a good day! :rotfl:

[droopsnout]

Phoo! Have never earned anything like £28 in a month, let alone an hour! Not heard of Planet Panel, so will look into that one.

[rachelja]

Think it's just a matter of getting lucky. I basically sign up for just about every survey site going and click on every survey op'y. With Ciao it seems the more you "try" and do the more they send you. Also with the likes of yougov if I do the "prize" polls I def'y get more paid surveys. If u can't find planet panel let me know and I'll look it up. As i say first one I've done for them so here's hoping they pay up!!

[sparky61]

I just recently signed up with Dialego. You get 40 points on sign up. I hadn't heard from them with any surveys but this morning I received an email asking me to log in and complete a lifestlyle questionnaire for which I got 20 points and a further 10 points for updating my profile. I now have £4.70.
150 = £10 Amazon voucher or £10 voucher for ChateauOnline Wine merchants.
If you want a cash payment you must have a balance of 600 points.
You can earn 10 points for every referral and they have a forum where the 3 best quotations of the month are awarded 100 points.
On average you will receive surveys every 2 weeks which pay 15-50 points per survey.
:)

[droopsnout]

If u can't find planet panel let me know and I'll look it up. As i say first one I've done for them so here's hoping they pay up!!

Thanks, Rachel. I have just signed up with the French Planet Panel, and have done six initial surveys for them. But there's a big difference ... It seems that on the French panel you don't get cash payments, you get entries into monthly and annual prize draws. Not so attractive to me, although I've done OK on the GfK TV surveys, with three £5 Amazon vouchers. I never seem to win on other sites with draws, like Lightspeed.

Anyway, I'll wait a few days and sign up to the UK Planet Panel as well!

Thanks for the tips.

[droopsnout]

I just recently signed up with Dialego.
:)

Thanks, Sparky. I don't know of Dialego, so have just Googled. Found their home page, and clicked through to the UK site, but no help with signing up as a panel member.

Could you PM me the URL, or post it here, please?

Edit: Ah, found it, courtesy of Google and Ciao!

Oops sorry I forget to post the link.

It's not a referral link you can only do referrals by submitting your friends email address.
Good Luck
:)

[rachelja]

Hi Droopsnout. I know what you mean about Planetpanel I also get a lot of "prize" surveys which like you say aren't as good. I skim read my email invitations from such companies and that is how I got my paid one. I don't do ALL the prize surveys for this company 'cause I haven't got the time!
Also I find the GfK site the same, but you are lucky I have never won a bean!!! I even did 22 surveys one month thinking I had to win, but nope...maybe next month!
Also Lightspeed - never won with them - but have had the occasional PAID survey from them. Remember receiving a £5 next voucher for doing one particular survey from them. But again I think these paid surveys are few and far between but worth checking your emails!
I just got the dialego invite too, could be a winner site. I'm pretty new to this one so will wait and see! Some kind Mum on Bounty referred me to that one!

[cmjohnson_86]

Looks good, Ive answered some. Bring on the surveys :D

[droopsnout]

Last time I had an invitation to do a survey from JuicyBrains was 15 July. Wonder if I've upset them?

[MimiJane]

I was wondering the same ... perhaps it's just a "lull"http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon9.gif

[Poppycat]

I have had loads of invites. But each time I answer 3-4 questions I get rejected. I cancel led the service because in my opinion its a waste of my time.

[halifax]

I've had a couple of £5 Amazon vouchers from them and I am well onto my third, this year. You need to show you have lots of kids to get the surveys I think.

[penguinlegs]

I know it's not about Juicy Brains but I asked for my Ciao payment at the end of July and still have received nothing apart from a reply to my query email saying they are investigating problems with payments. Anyone else had any probs with Ciao or is it just me? Thanks.

I've never been able to complete enough surveys with Ciao to claim anything ... either get to them too late (even though I sometimes do them as soon as I get the email!), or I don't qualify.http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon9.gif

[emeralddreams]

Could anyone tell me how long these surveys are?

There are some who only pay up to 2pounds for a 30 minute survey something I can't bring myself to do as they pretty much repeat a lot of the questions as well.

Thanks

Difficult to say really ... they vary such a lot. The Ciao ones tend to be about 20 to 30 mins. generally and I don't think I've ever seen one that pays out more than £1.70.

I've had payments before with no problems but this time I ordered it middle of August but not had anything as of yet,

Yvonne

[sarah_ace1]

me too with ciao. still waiting for payment from beginning of august...very annoying as they have been prompt (ish) with payments until now

[sarah_ace1]

if you got to members area and announcements, it tells you of technical difficulties re payments but they will honour their side :) just a matter of waiting

[penguinlegs]

Re previous message, just had another email to say that Ciao have changed pay out arrangements and are having problems with July and August payments and haven't yet sorted it out.

[scottishchick27]

Does anyone have any links for online surveys where you get paid for your opinion?
Already joined juicy brains and pine cone research.
Hope this is the right place I've posted this.

[marka87uk]

I belong to http://www.surveysavvy.com but that seems a waste of time, and http://gozingsurveys.com , which I've been paid twice from - not much though.

Another one I'm signed up with is http://www.globaltestmarket.com/index.php . They give you points for doing surveys and you get given invites to participate in surveys quite often - normally once every 2 or 3 days. It's American but I've heard they can send to England? But I think they send a US cheque. I requested a while ago so will have to see.

[spaggy]

Try

You can refer your friends to join PureProfile too and get £1 for every referral. They have changed quite a bit recently, so not sure how much earning potential there is now.

[bdpm2003]

try this website there are loads of paid survey sites listed and other ways to earn money the person whos site it is also rates them and says if she recieved things ive joined most of them and they are quite good

[sarah_ace1]

i had a survey for a soft drink and they sent me samples then another survey, total payment was just under £5 :)

[mossymum1]

I found this one and they send you survey's through email. survey@ciao-group.com

[lilrowan]

I found this one and they send you survey's through email. survey@ciao-group.com

With ciao you can also write reviews on all kinds of things (electricals, books, employers etc). If another member reads your survey and rates it well, you get paid a small amount. I think some people make quite a bit though, writing loads in their lunch breaks!

[rachelja]

I think I did that one too!

[marka87uk]

Hehe I just came to this thread to post about Ciao when I remembered about it (I've just looked and have £10.60 in my Ciao account!), but you beat me to it. :p

They pay quite well, I've been paid up to £2 per survey.

Didn't realise you can make money from reviews too, may have to do some! :)

[blinko]

is there a minimum withdrawl from ciao ?? how do they pay i have been with them for ages and have a couple of quid i wouldnt mind to get out !!

[marka87uk]

The minimal withdrawal amount is £5.

They pay into your bank account. :)

[sarah_ace1]

make sure you fill in the whole profile bit to get surveys more frequently. i was getting 5 a day for a few days, some i didn't meet the profile for but others i did. they are fairly monotonous but i think of the money !

[mp7125]

I've registered. Hopefully a few extra pounds to spend.

[Saffie]

I've been a member of Juicy Brains for a while. I quite enjoy the surveys, but don't seem to get too many?! Those of you who get loads, what does your profile say?? I think i'll have to change mine. :question:

[droopsnout]

http://www.globaltestmarket.com/index.php .But I think they send a US cheque. I requested a while ago so will have to see.

That's correct. It seems to take a long time for them to reward your account, too.

In order to get any decent rewards from them, it seems best to accumulate a lot of money in your account, as the bank charges for cashing a US cheque in the UK are excessively high, and you would lose a high proportion of your rewards.

It would be better if they would use PayPal.

[Paul Melville]

there's a new survey company - http://www.wssintl.com based in the Uk. they do a lot of consumer testing and are just getting into online / email questionnaires.

If you do have a connection with a company that you are posting about, you do need to declare it, in line with the site rules.

That is correct, normally it's a lot of money to pay in US cheques! Someone however recommended me http://www.auctionpix.co.uk/ , I haven't used them yet but they charge 95p per batch of cheques to convert them!

Sorry folks, new to the site and unaware of these rules. Yes I do work for this company - the majority of our projects are done face-to-face though we've recently carried out a couple of thes online / email panels. Anyone wanting to join, please send an email to info@wssintl.com.

I'm not sure if this has been posted (have looked though :)), but I tried this site for the first time a couple of weeks ago - apolgies for not posting it quicker.

www.nfocc.com/ (http://www.nfocc.com/)

(Hope that link works)

I did one survey, received a bag of new flavoured crisps (won't say which lol), but also received a £2 voucher for High St shops.

Then there was a follow up survey, for which I'm presumable getting another £2 voucher

£5.28 for a few minutes work (if the follow up pays £2.00 that is :D)

Thanks to everyone for all the links provided.

Hi Sofa
I'm already with them and they are good.
Very reliable too, the rewards always turn up.

Thanks sparky - they must be good if you recommend too :D

It's been the best one so far, BrainJuicer being 2nd, (£5 voucher for Amazon), so I'd recommend them to others too.

Ciao -as someone else said, you need to have a dozen kids and dogs lol.

I'm just bookmarking all the others. Too much time on my hands at the moment ;)

[sparky61]

I've just been on bobsfreestuffforum and it made me think of the smell of those lovely cones that smell of pine.;)
No, I haven't gone mad I'm just trying to be cryptic.
I'm (hopefully) sure a lot of you will know what I mean.
I would advise you type in the web address independently.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse too many people. lol

just a quick update sparky. My other £2 voucher arrived today from

Far too cryptic for me. ;) Ofcourse, if it was any less cryptic, I'd have to remove the post.

Shame really, as I originally joined because of a link posted on here but rules is rules. :(

Ofcourse, anybody wanting to join paid survey sites could always have a look at other sites such as bobsfreestuffforum for more information.

I joined this company's survey and I got paid recently as soon as I reached 1000points (US$50). I requested for payment, and after about 4-6 weeks, I received the cheque in British Pounds, with a letter saying that it's in local currency to reduce bank charges. So they are pretty smart after all....It's a good company. I like it... ;)

Hope that helps.

ps: The company is GlobalTestMarket....couldn't double quote...

[Fairy Michelle]

I have been recieving these surveys through another survey provider but have now signed up with them as well.

[jonven]

Thanks I have just joined them, I love doin surveys

[helenafiggy]

thanks, just registered see how many surveys i receive

[hitchins]

Hi does anybody have a link to join Pinecone? Thanks :beer:

[hitchins]

ignore the above, I realise now that I must find a "banner"

[dribsndrabs]

i've never found one but if anyone knows where one is currently, can they please pm me.

i haven't had anything from juicy brains panel - not one single survey and all my relevant bits and bobs are completed.


Go figure :confused:

[jonven]

I've only had one survey from juicy brain, the pinecone one seems to be the best, its just finding a link to them, but I believe they pay £4 in luncheon vouchers

[grex9101]

again, can anyone pm as to where to find a pinecone banner? really wanna join! :)

[droopsnout]

JuicyBrains seem to be farming out their surveys to other companies for distribution now. I used to get them regularly, but they have dried up over the last few months.

[MimiJane]

Same here ... I occasionally get to do one through another survey company, but very rarely.

Also not had a Pinecone survey for many months now, BUT I've just won £100 in a UK draw (1st prize) with Zoom Panel. Regularly do their surveys and click on the prize draw button at the end. Couldn't believe it when I got an email from them the other day ... never normally win anything!

[hitchins]

:T Well done Mimi :T Good luck to anyone looking for the Pinecone banner, I am sending myself up the wall Googling and Yahooing!!! :mad:

[hitchins]

again, can anyone pm as to where to find a pinecone banner? really wanna join! :)

I e-mailed them and received this:-

We are not currently recruiting new members via our website or taking
unsolicited referrals. We will be posting banner ads on various unspecified web
sites from time to time throughout the year. This is so we may better target
more specific groups needed to meet the needs of our clients. Unfortunately,
this is our only way of accepting new panellists at this time.

I'm not sure if this has been posted (have looked though :)), but I tried this site for the first time a couple of weeks ago - apolgies for not posting it quicker.

www.nfocc.com/ (http://www.nfocc.com/)

(Hope that link works)

I did one survey, received a bag of new flavoured crisps (won't say which lol), but also received a £2 voucher for High St shops.

Then there was a follow up survey, for which I'm presumable getting another £2 voucher

£5.28 for a few minutes work (if the follow up pays £2.00 that is :D)

Thanks to everyone for all the links provided.



Thanks for this - have just joined and will see how they are. Have joined a few survey sites now and plan to put money/vouchers aside for xmas 2006. So far have got £10 from juicybrains, about £18.50 on my Caio account and about 700 points on Global Test Market (1000 points worth $50). Also keep clicking on Pigsback and have had £20 in Boots vouchers with a further £5.25 currently in bank and also about 1050 points with mutual rewards (3000 points worth £20). These not strictly survey sites but still all help. Also with Test&Vote and one or two more. ANyone else know any good ones? Am trying to raise about £500 by xmas, one way or another! Maybe manage to get a first non-credit-card xmas in a while.

[jeannieb3]

Valuedopinions aren't bad.

[katyk]

Valuedopinions aren't bad.

Thanks - will give them a try too. Have joined a few from here now. Do Valued Opinions pay cash or give prize draws???

[hannah2082]

Thanks - will give them a try too. Have joined a few from here now. Do Valued Opinions pay cash or give prize draws???

They pay you in vouchers - I normally get Boots ones but I think that they also do Tesco's and Amazon and others. They're very good imo.

[queenofsheba]

I cashed in my points for a £5 voucher. Never seen it. Complained and heard nothing!!!! Anyone tell me how the voucher came? Or how I can get mine. My points have gone and no dosh to spend

if you log into your account and check on the bottom right of the page
check you full juicing history click that and if you've redeemed a voucher the code will be there so you'll still be able to use it.You need to keep checking it though because it only has your last months history saved.

[queenofsheba]

I just recently signed up with Dialego. You get 40 points on sign up. I hadn't heard from them with any surveys but this morning I received an email asking me to log in and complete a lifestlyle questionnaire for which I got 20 points and a further 10 points for updating my profile. I now have £4.70.
150 = £10 Amazon voucher or £10 voucher for ChateauOnline Wine merchants.
If you want a cash payment you must have a balance of 600 points.
You can earn 10 points for every referral and they have a forum where the 3 best quotations of the month are awarded 100 points.
On average you will receive surveys every 2 weeks which pay 15-50 points per survey.
:)

it's actually 300 points needed for a £20 voucher, 150 is for donations to charity :) They do pay though, just a little slow at times with surveys.

[queenofsheba]

I belong to http://www.surveysavvy.com but that seems a waste of time, and http://gozingsurveys.com , which I've been paid twice from - not much though.

Another one I'm signed up with is http://www.globaltestmarket.com/index.php . They give you points for doing surveys and you get given invites to participate in surveys quite often - normally once every 2 or 3 days. It's American but I've heard they can send to England? But I think they send a US cheque. I requested a while ago so will have to see.


you get paid by cheque in £'s I just got a cheque through yesterday,they are great with lots of regular surveys to do :)

[sparky61]

Oops, :o sorry, I'll be waiting a while for a voucher then.:D

[queenofsheba]

Oops, :o sorry, I'll be waiting a while for a voucher then.:D

that's ok hon, just thought people might get bit impatient :) most of these kind of sites are slow burners,but worth waiting for I reckon

[Ann1e]

Has anyone mentioned www.quickwise.co.uk? I searched this thread but came up with zilch. They pay you cash money for their surveys, and you can cash it in every £9.00, I've already had £9.00 credited to my bank account, and have £6.50 towards my next 9 quid. I also do Juicy Brains and MyTNS, and I don't have a great deal of time to spare, used to miss the surveys as they mostly have time limits (I think all of them send reminders to your mobile), but now I have broadband it makes all the difference. Sometimes you get turned down as they are looking for "a different profile" but you can fib a bit if you can see where the survey is going and get the full points/cash/Amazon vouchers. Give QuickWise a try - if it's free dosh it can't be bad! :T

[MimiJane]

I've been with QuickWise for a while and have had 5 x lots of £9 credited to me now. I do find that I hear nothing from them for some time, then suddenly get a number of surveys to complete in 3/4 weeks. The best thing about them is that their surveys are often so quick to complete ... I've done a number of surveys with only one question, though the majority of them take 5 - 10 minutes.

[miss_dolly_girl]

Thanks!! Have Joined This......i Love Amazon So This Will Be Useful...if I Actually Get Sent Any Surveys Lol

[miss_dolly_girl]

Have Joined Quickwise Too..thanks!

[sparky61]

I agree, Quickwise are very good and I like the way they txt as well as email when there is a new survey as if I'm out at the time and get the txt I go straight to my email inbox when I get home.

Not fair!

Thanks for reminding me about testandvote - I'd forgotten about them. When I went on their site I was surprised at how my points had added up.

I've also just had my first survey from Quickwise since joining on 30 March. Thanks.

well keep fingers crossed perhaps they have too many of us. never mind its something todo

[cheesylou]

Thanks! Signed up and am looking forward to receiving my first proper survey!:T

[Zinger549]

I body here a member of harris polls. there quite good

[pondie1]

im a member of tns world panel,but its paper surveys,get paid £13 for 2 weekly food diary,£5 each for toiletry and femcare diary,i can give the phone number if anyone is interested,i have a refer a friend leaflets but they must be filled and posted back

[cheesylou]

I have signed up for test and vote - I hope it is good !!! I always wonder that there's something dodgy about all these sites but it seems ok!

Thanks for telling us about it!

[hannah2082]

Hi thanks for the info - but who are Cedric?!


I know I'm quoting myself, (a sign of madness?), but does anyone know anything about Cedric surveys?

[MimiJane]

These are the Juicy Brain surveys ... discussed earlier in the thread I believe. Cedric is the contact on the panel.

[hannah2082]

Thank-you - now I recongise it!

[rachelja]

How do I sign up to the Harris polls pls?
And also the TNS paper one? Is that similar to the online one?
Thanks:j

[pondie1]

the tns paper one is three different survey booklets one is food (everything you eat for 2 weeks)one femcare,one toiletries,paid by capital bond vouchers £13 for food,£5for others,i have had 4 since december

[pondie1]

harris poll is www.harrispollonline.com ,i think its just entries into sweepstakes

[Dormouse]

Question: when signing up to some sites, you are asked whether you are currently participating in any other market research/survey companies. I am assuming it's better to say no (cough, cough! ;)), right? :confused:

My logic is that some surveys seem to pop up on different sites, and they presumably don't want the same people answering them... :confused:

[sparky61]

harris poll is www.harrispollonline.com (http://www.harrispollonline.com) ,i think its just entries into sweepstakes

You're awarded Hipoints for completing surveys, sometimes they are very generous too.
I usually wait till I've got 3000 points to redeem for a voucher (£25)
:j

[avmj]

Hello,
Could you let me have the Phone number for the TNS paper surveys? I have been a panel member for years but have recently moved house. In the move I lost the contact number so my surveys are not coming to the new address. I want to update their records but don't know who to contact!!!!

Another market research site you may want to try is
www.myvoice.co.uk
You can build up points really quickly with them and the rewards are pretty good (vouchers). You can even get xtra points by referring a friend!!!

Enjoy

ps: The company is GlobalTestMarket....couldn't double quote...

Just to confirm that GlobalTestmarket:

http://www.globaltestmarket.com/index.php

do send cheques in GB£, despite the fact that the site is run in US£ and that the rewards equate to 5 cents per point.

I rate them as one of the best because they usually give you at least a few points for your time even if you don't "qualify" after the initial questions - wish the other firms would have the same courtesy!

Sitting looking at a cheque for £27.05 which is probably about the third or fourth this year.

[MimiJane]

Received my first cheque from them a few weeks ago ... about £38 from memory. Very impressed. http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon7.gif

[Edna_Bucket]

Reading this thread make me check some of the sites we're on, and I see we're due another £10 Amazon voucher from Test & Vote (new product on there to register for - 75 points by the way)

Not bad - had 2 £5 Valued Opinion Boots vouchers last week, plus a £10 Next voucher from ShopandScan, and GTMarket cheque already mentioned.

[avmj]

One market research site that I am a member of is Saros Research. They don't do online polls but the organise groups where you go and chat for a couple of hours about a particular topic and they pay well. It is normally about £40 for 2 hours work. They hold groups all round the country. You don't hear from them too often but their groups are well worth their while. I have done several for them now. As always, don't mention that you may have done other studies!!

www.sarosresearch.com

[avmj]

I have just had an email from TNS and have found a way to join Shop and Scan(where you get paid for scanning your weekly shopping). If you go to their website
www.volunteer4panels.com
you can register you interest in taking panels. You can specify which of their panels you want to join and providing they have vacancies they will send you an invitation number. It may take some time for you to hear from them as apparently they send invites depending on the demographics of their volunteers. From the wording of the website it sounds like they have other panels that it may be possible to join!
Sounds good to me!!!!!

[Edna_Bucket]

..As always, don't mention that you may have done other studies!!

www.sarosresearch.com

Quite. Often they are organising the panels for other MR companies anyway.

[JueJue]

Since joining Juicy Brains survey last month I think, I have rec'd only 2 surveys, one for pasties and one for an honesty test!!! Would love to do more, but not been given the opportunity. :confused:

[MimiJane]

I've been with Juicy Brains for about 3 years. For the last year, I've not received one survey! Perhaps I ought to change my profile to read I have 6 kids, 3 jobs and a house full of animals ...http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon12.gif

[rachelja]

Same here with juicy brains. the odd one here and there and they never seem to load properly. has anyone tried home of research? can't seem to get theirs to work either!

[MimiJane]

Same here with juicy brains. the odd one here and there and they never seem to load properly. has anyone tried home of research? can't seem to get theirs to work either!

Yes, thinking back, I've had the same problems with loading. I'd often spend 10 minutes plus answering questions, only for a note of apology to appear saying the survey couldn't be continued due to technical faults. Can't say I miss them much ...

[rachelja]

Got 3 surveys from Ciao today and one actually let me do the full survey...anyway didn;t realise I hadn't checked my balance for ages and have £14.88 belated payment winging its way to my bank a/c!

[avmj]

:j Great News!! I had the latest paper survey through from TNS and they are putting the rewards up from £2 to £5 for their Toiletries and Femcare surveys!!! I will be looking forward to that. It did seem like an awful lot of work for just £2.

[ripryan1971]

Hi there any people who are members of brainjuicers and valuedopinions and get regular surveys,please drop me a private message here or an email.
Will be worth your while
thanks

[Edna_Bucket]

Why private? Why not share with all?

Some of us old cynics might get even more cynical when a poster uses his/her first post to make a comment like that.

C'mon - share openly with everyone please.

[HeaddyMX]

Be prepared for a lot of rejections from JB - especially if you do their surveys on behalf of another company. The good this is they sometimes pay you if you don't qualify for their own surveys. I managed to get a £10 voucher after deciding I'd had enough, but rejoined.

[ripryan1971]

am i allowed to post my msn name or email address on here? if not how can people contact me?
edna i would rather do it like that, but im not one of these people who say things for attention, just doing it to help people out and visa versa,

let me know folks thanks

I don't think Edna means you should post your private email address (not allowed anyway!). Presume she means why not be more open on the board and let us know exactly what you mean when it could be worth our while if we get regular surveys from the two panels you mention, rather than have to contact you individually.

[willow81]

Yay, I got a lovely cheque for over £30 from globaltestmarket.com today :)

Well worth the while!

[Scarlett1]

I dont have any problems with juicy brains, I have just cashed in another £5 worth for an amazon voucher :j

[Claireybear]

Hey

Did anyone else do the magnum shares thing with the brainjuicing panel??? I was very disappointed with the £5 payout when the deserts cost £2.50 in the first place and then had to log and buy and sell shares for 10 days i thought it was a bit of a cheek really!!!!! And the site kept crashing too!!!!

[Claireybear]

I got the £5, but i emailed to complain about the amount of money etc anyway, its not a lot compared to usual juicers.

[Dormouse]

Just out of interest: has anyone else had the survey for nappies and stuff recently (I've had it 3 times from different sites - Lightspeed and Test & Vote)?

I didn't qualify for any of them, so just wondering what you had to say to qualify? I answered the first one truthfully (as I do have a child under 3 1/2), and they didn't like that. In the other two, I tried giving different answers, but that was no good either.

Just curious what it was that they were looking for? :confused:

[ripryan1971]

mimijayne sometimes in life you cant be more open and things end eg if everyone did it etc, i just thought id say it and anyone woh then can be bothered contacting me we can help each other, if you know how we can maybe chat on msn etc let me know

Thanks MimiJane.

Picking up your thread ripryan, no-one said or suggested you should post your name or email address - where did that come from? If you have some great idea or want to "help people out" as you claim, then let's hear your big idea out here in public please.

I'm afraid that your subsequent posts are just as elusive and secretive as the first one - why is that?

[Edna_Bucket]

...if you know how we can maybe chat on msn etc let me know


Once again, more privacy, more secrecy. Why not share with all? Read the site guidance rules - sharing is the MSE way.

At present, the more you post the more dodgy you look.

[reehsetin]

before i sign up to JB do you have to do all the surveys they ask or can you pick and choose what you want to do?

[MimiJane]

Not interested in chatting ... just giving my opinion on what I consider Edna meant by her post.

[ripryan1971]

ok fair enough best remain silent then i post on another forum and thats gone fine there. Nevermind though its not something you can directly put on here, but thanks for your tips and advice

I just had a look at their site and it looks like there's been some major changes - new owners or something. :confused: They are saying that the surveys should pick up now and they want to become the best survey site in the country!

Anyway, thanks for reminding me about these guys - I used to be a member a long time ago (pre-MSE :D) and have since changed email address etc, so no idea if my account is still valid... :confused: :o

[MimiJane]

I'd actually forgotten I was a member of myvoice as, for ages, I received no surveys. However, in the last month or so, I had 3 or 4, so things certainly look as if they're picking up ...

[avmj]

Of the panels I am a member of Quickwise is probably the best. You don't hear from them that often but the rewards are good and you can build up points quite quickly.

Ipsos Online is also quite good.

Lightspeed panel get in touch quite often but it can be quite tiresome wading through all of the quickmatches that they constantly send you.

Hope that is a help.

:hello:

Agreed. Quickwise give you £1 for every survey and sometimes they've just been one question! Lightspeed have improved a lot recently since they've started awarding points rather than entries into prize draws, etc. I'm hearing from them a lot more often and the points seem to add up quickly to some decent rewards.

[blackmidnight]

I find lightspeed the best since they've changed their reward system. I've had £20 worth of vouchers from them and enough for another £5 one since april. They have a good range of vouchers to choose from too.

I don't seem to get that many from quickwise although last time i did i got 5 nearly identical surveys within an hour!"

[billieboy]

Ipsos Online is also quite good.

I started doing lots of surveys but in the end have stuck with juicybrains and yougov, as the most interesting and rewarding.

I started doing lots of surveys but in the end have stuck with juicybrains and yougov, as the most interesting and rewarding.

I joined these a couple of years ago and have had only two surveys sent to me ... my profile is probably the problem.http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon9.gif

[avmj]

I recieved a survey from Global Test Market yesterday. I clicked the button which said 'click here to start' and the next screen that came up told me i didn't fit the profile that they were looking for. What a swizz! How can they know that i don't fit when they don't actually ask me any questions?

:hello:

[Edna_Bucket]

I've had that a few times in the past. I think what it means is that the survey (often from another research company) is already "full".

However they should make it more clear.

The only word of warning I would give to anyone about YouGov is the ridiculously high payout threshold - £50!!!

If it's hard enough getting to the limits others impose, I just wonder how often YouGov actually pays out and how often people just give up. I quote from their FAQs:


YouGov values its members and pays out thousands of pounds to members each month. Our terms and conditions state that we only pay out cheques once you have reached the specified payout level of £50, and not before. This policy has been in place since the start of YouGov and is unlikely to change at the present time, but is reviewed regularly. We want you to be happy with the service you receive from YouGov and would like to thank you for your continuing support.

I'm up to £32.50, though have been a member for quite a while.
You've just got to be patient, and when I do get my cheque at least it will be a nice healthy amount of money!

[OneFlewOver...]

I've had one cheque for £50 from YouGov in the last 12 months, following about five years of form-filling with them!! But things must have improved, as I'm now about half-way to the next one.

On the other hand, I never hear from JuicyBrains now. Just get the surveys they farm out to other companies, like the dreaded Test & Vote.

[Dormouse]

I never hear from JuicyBrains these days, either... :confused:

...which is actually fine by me because I had a £10 Amazon voucher from them and don't think I've had a single survey since then! Good timing with the voucher then.

Has anyone actually managed to do a Test and Vote survey? The majority I get are Juicy Brains surveys ... they either take an age to load and pack up half way through, or I'm not eligible ...http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon9.gif

[OneFlewOver...]

Yes, have done a few, but agree with you about the JB technical difficulties. Utterly frustrating.

I have done a number of Test & Vote surveys, this could be because i am not a member of JB.

[Edna_Bucket]

Yes - loads in fact. We're also JB members too - agree that you see more JB surveys through other MR companies than direct.

Thank you not heard of TV Insider before, but just joined and got £1.50 credited to my account, brill!

I've been a member of JB and Test and vote now for about a month, and haven't had any surveys from either of them. How long does it take to get asked?

loopylass30 has given the link but there is usually no "registration" facility. I can't remember now how I joined but I suggest emailing them using the Contact link, and saying that if they have no current panel vacancies, could they please hold on to your details and get back to you when they do.

[MBN]

Hi Dormouse,

I remember I joined IPSOS through an Archerfish link - don't know if you can still do this (I'm not a member of Archerfish anymore). After joining, I noticed IPSOS were advertised on loads of cashback sites, and I was upset that I hadn't got a more substantial cashback for my registration (you know the cashback levels on Archerfish :rolleyes:).

At the moment, you may still be able to join if you are registered with Freefivers - http://www.freefivers.co.uk/shoplist.php - they even seem to give £0.55 cashback for doing this!

If you can't join through cashback sites, then Edna's advice is the best way to do it: contact them and express your interest in joining. ;)

EDIT: Just noticed that there seems to be a link to join IPSOS on this website, in the 'Get Paid to Take Surveys' section. This is a website I visit daily (not mine) - you may know it too Dormouse: http://members.lycos.co.uk/ilovefreebiesuk/

I should have received a £10 Amazon voucher ages ago for completing a food diary over a few days. It never arrived. I emailed "Lauren" and was sent a standard email back saying it could be in my spam mail and they'd look into it (I don't have a spam filter), I've emailed twice since and heard nothing. Not going to give up thoughhttp://img.moneysavingexpert.com/icons/icon9.gif

You're lucky to get any reply at all.

I emailed Lauren on 19 July to ask why so many surveys refuse to start, saying "You have paused your interview before it was completed." even though I'm sure I have never started the surveys, and never received a reply.

I am expecting a voucher that was supposed to arrive "in the next two to four weeks" of 6 July, and I'm not sure it's worth chasing.

What a waste of time Lightspeed Panel are.

I'm very disappointed with Lightspeed too. I thought things would get better after the introduction of the points reward system, but no, no chance! They owe me two vouchers (the first one ordered back in May:eek: ), and I've also got enough points for several others. I emailed them, and just like you MimiJane, got a standard reply, asking me to check my spam filters. Emailed them back - and nothing.:confused:

In my case, they appear to be the most reliable in terms of getting surveys - I get at least one daily, qualify for most, and find them quite enjoyable. I also got the chance to test a product once, and enjoyed doing that a lot. Too bad they don't reward their panel members properly...:mad:

I think they really do seem to have a problem then. They've lost one of my voucher codes already, another is on it's way (AHEM) within 2-4 weeks. (yeah yeah)

I do quite like them as they send out a lot of surveys. But what's the point if you never get the proper rewards?

And I think everyone gets that spam filter email - utter nonsense - they just don't bother sending the voucher codes until you complain!

[hannah2082]

I completely agree about Lightspeed - they also owe me two £5 reward vouchers from ages ago and their surveys keep giving me the "You have paused your interview before it was completed." message after I've spend ages on them!

[OneFlewOver...]

I have NEVER received anything from Lightspeed without complaining first.

I am owed vouchers, too.

I have just sent them this email:

Dear Sir/Madam

Despite your promises to send my voucher, none has arrived. It seems to me that you are having difficulties in sending out voucher codes to your panel members. I believe this because I have read other panellists' complaints here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=2648056#post2648056

I am therefore writing to tell you that I shall not be completing any further surveys until the delivery of vouchers is carried out in an equitable manner, such that panellists receive their rewards as per the information on Lightspeed's web site.

I am very sorry to be taking this action, as Lightspeed sends me more surveys, more often, than any other market research company. However, I do not like being taken for granted, I do not like being deceived, and the time I spend on completing the surveys is very valuable.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, and hope that you will be able very soon to make sure that members are rewarded appropriately for their efforts.

Yours faithfully

[MimiJane]

Well done! I'll also be sending them a message along the same lines ...

[skintarooney]

Thanks, just signed up!!

[Dormouse]

Yep, my experiences with Lightspeed are exactly the same: lots of surveys, easy to get loads of points, but getting vouchers takes forever.

And I thought I was the only one with surveys I can't start due to having "paused" them!

I wrote those down last time you posted and tried sending an e-mail to them a while back but the only one it would send to was the general email and i just got the standard reply from 'lauren'. Has anyone else managed to send an email to those addresses?

I've ordered 4 vouchers and managed to get 3 of them after continously emailing them but the 4th one should have been sent a month ago and still no sign of it. The only good thing is the choice of shops to exchange your vouchers for once you actually get sent the code!

Yes, I emailed them (most of them anyway) a few months ago, and although my reply was from "Lauren", my queries were resolved.

[onthepunt]

I use ciao.co.uk (paid over £20) yougov (earned £15 but payout at £50) and another place which I forget.. that I have £12 on but they pay out at £25. Ciao is the best IMO.

Thanks very much for agreeing to take part in our study on kitchen roll. I'm pleased to say that you have been selected to participate in this study. Over the next week or so you should receive a package from us containing some product and paperwork. Included within this will be a letter explaining what is involved. We kindly ask that you read this letter carefully before you start.

Thanks again for your help with this study. We hope you enjoy taking part.

Had a reply from Lightspeed to the email quoted above. I would have been happier if it had mentioned target dates for the despatch of the vouchers we are all owed! Judging from the amount of business passing through their company, I would have thought that there were no problems in buying and despatching the required number of e-vouchers. Is there anything else that could delay purchase and distribution?

Anyway, here's the reply (complete with typo, indicating that it's not the usual standard email) from (the, I presume, fictional) Lauren:

Thank you for your email.

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing problems in receiving your voucher. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

As you understand, there are other panelists who are experiencing similar problems. Therefore there is a slight delay in re-ordering the codes due to the amount of emails coming in. Please be assured that we are workind hard to resolve the issue.

Kind Regards,

Lauren

Got my first survery from 'Thats what I think' today.

Signed up for about eight survey sites mentioned on this thread, about a month ago, but they don't like me! I think I've had two surveys to date, one of which I wasn't suitable for after all. Meh, wonder what's wrong with me! Wish I hadn't bothered filling in all the questionaires now, lol
