    Wow! I think I managed about £30 over 5 years before I left them. And they had significant delays errors and screen outs after anything up to half an hour! You must be what they're looking for survey wise, guess I just wasn't.

    I must be. I know a few other peole who don't get as many surveys as me.

    I've had 2 surveys which paid £25 and £35 eachI've had about a dozen products to test aswell.

    My List

    YouGov ---- 1-3 surveys a week some paid, prize draws or no reward. (takes around 2 years to reach £50, no prize draw wins)

    Harrispollonline ---- 1 survey a fortnight. (did take 2 years to reach £25 but now lower tiers)

    My Survey ---- Haven't had a survey for a few months other than quick polls.

    Valued Opinions --- Just Joined (2 surveys @ 0.50 so far)
    Mori Ipsos --- awaiting welcome pack
    Nielsen ---- Passed first selection but who knows if will be taken on???

    You had product tests from them?? I thought they were just a myth they bleeted about to try reeling people in (eg "wanna try a new laptop/ipod/samsungTV? Join our panel and you can...") at least I know they exist!
    Still can't see myself rejoining though, they were just no good for me at all, I stopped their surveys and realised how much time I had on my hands! I also rarely was paid for the surveys I did do and it was also rare that complaining about this ever got me anywhere.

    Congratulations on your mega deal there, glad someone benefits from them rather then just themselves.

    I've just claimed a £10 Amazon gift certificate from Ipsos and a £25 one from My Survey which makes £50 from MySurvey in just under a year. I've had various products from various places too. Tesco Home Panel seems to offer me bits and pieces to trial quite regularly. Samples aren't very big ,,, but after all, their motto is 'every little helps!'

    Nielsen don't want me @ the mo. as I don't fit their criteria.

    Valued Opinions screened me out in four surveys already!!!

    I've been using Valued Opinions and ClixResearch for about a year now and (while I can now hardly ever be bothered to use Valued Opinions) I have made over £60 from them, and I've had two or three full size product tests which are usually beverages, once got a full size bottle of tanning moisturiser. It's definitely worth it if you use the companies they have vouchers for.

    I've had at least a dozen full size product tests from ClixResearch which have all been useful, mainly body washes, hand creams, some makeup. Takes a while to fill in the profile information but once it's done you just wait for the invitations to come through, use the product and keep it, fill in a couple of short surveys.

    Edit - I have actually tried most survey companies and these are the best by far, I am a member of pinecone but am yet to receive anything so I don't believe the hype about it at all.
