Default Survey Stashing: OnePoll hints & tips

What’s this about? Willing to give your view on the Labour Party, answer questions about your sex life, or test out the latest moisturiser? If so, it’s possible to earn £100s a year, without any special skill or talent. It’s all about stashing cash from filling in online surveys or taking part in focus groups.

The first point of call is read the full Survey Stashing guide.
Then having found the best survey sites, this discussion is specifically to talk about feedback and tips for the survey site


OnePoll


If you want to discuss survey sites in general please go to the Survey Stashing Discussion.

If you’ve got a suggestion/tip

Simply click reply and add your suggestion, though its worth scanning down first to check it's not been duplicated.

I joined Onepoll on Wednesday and i've done 10 surveys and i'm on £3.35 but £2.50 of that was the bonus for joining! It will take me forever to get to £40! Shall keep going though!

tip for onepoll - you have to log in every day to see what surveys they offer

surveys are very quick and easy to do, which is good

I've been with them a year now and about 2 months ago I hit £38.00 so thought that I would reach £40 by May (my 1 year anniversary!). How wrong could I be. I am now on £39.40 and in the last month the amount of surveys that I'm eligable for has dropped considerably. I am hoping that I reach £40 within the next two weeks.

Default Dodgy cashback offer?

There's an option when you sign up for ONEPOLL to also sign up for their onepollcashback offer where you log in and get money back for money you spend online on certain sites.

What's the catch?

I'm not sure if anyone can help me, but any help would be appreciated.
When i signed up to one poll i thought that all surveys on my profile meant they were open to me so I answered them. I have since realised this isn't the case. Does this mean when i get to the threshold they will take it all off of me?
Also on the log in page it says surveys from 10p to 1pound. Mine are all 5p with occasional 10p is this usual?

The vast majority for me are 5p or 10p. Sometimes I get the odd 15p or 20p survey, but that's the exception rather than the norm.

I had a few available today for 5p and 10p but I had to go out and when I got back they'd all gone! Humph!

Default self-emplyed registration?

Hi guys,
I signed into OnePoll surveys. I read somewhere that I should register as a self-employed if not I will pay a £100 penalty. Is that true?
I have full-time job and I dont want to pay more tax.
Did any one of you registered? thanks.

I've done it for 6 months now, got to £19.85. I'm a little disappointed in the money available....but...it takes a couple of minutes and will be in effect free money when I do get paid as I tend to access them all at work!!

What I am wondering though, is has anyone ever won any of the amazon vouchers?

A couple of months ago I won an Ipod Shuffle. When they were known as 72 Points, I won a few £200 cheques and a mobile phone.

Good luck

I've had 2 payouts in total from them and they used to be excellent but recently the surveys have been so few and far between it's gonna take forever to reach another £40. They now have more prize draw surveys than cash ones. Very disappointing.

How much do you normally get per survey? I have registered and got the introductory £2.50, plus I completed a paid for survey and got credited with 5p.
