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
PureProfile

The trick with PureProfile is definitely to log in every day and press the 'Next Button' which leads you on to any available surveys. I very rarely get any survey alerts emailed to me so I log in every day and generally receive 2-3 per week.
Today, for example, I logged on and had 3 waiting for me. I got screened out of one of the surveys but PureProfile pay a small amount as a screen-out reward (10p) so it does help to build your total up to payout level which is £25.
To date, I've received two payouts from PureProfile and am currently on £22.80 so looking forward to requesting another shortly.

I WILL be back in the black by Leeds Fest - this is possible if i spend nothing between now and then. Fingers crossed for a payrise! Which is unlikely as I haven't factored in petrol to get myself to work!
Thought all available surveys were emailed out, I've never thought to log in. How many times have I missed out!! Just logged in and there was a survey, but I didn't qualify, but 10p is better then nowt.
i'm stuck on £24.94 for ages !!! :-) on second payout in three years
Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £76200
Overpayments 2007 Nil 2008 £1040 2009 £7853 The Early Bird Gets the Worm, but the Second Mouse Gets the Cheese!!
Ive had one payout already and Im now at £16. Ive found the way to make more is at the 1st question when they ask if you or a close relative work at one of the listed occupations, always click no and you'll go on to the next step

Whoa.. That's a long time for you.. I hope you attain the threshold of making the payout soon. Good luck!
So I joined PureProfile in June 2004 and it started well and my first 8 surverys each paid £1 each so I thought getting to the £25 would be no problem at all. Then they started dropping to anywhere between 5 and 40p and the amount of surveys sent to me started to dry up.
Here's what I was sent
2004 - 4 Surveys (bear in mind I joined in June)
2005 - 1 Survey!
2006 - 15 Payments (I say payments because for a while they paid for web searches I think. They were like 40p a go)
2007 - 5 Surveys
2008 - 30 Surveys
2009 - 17 Surveys
So as I got older, the surveys became more frequent, which to be honest, I can understand. The fact that it took me 72 surveys to get to the minimum payment shows how measly the rewards often were. I have requested the payment so fingers crossed it goes through. I will then have to decide whether to stop using the site or whether to carry on for what might end up being another few years...
The surveys and the site are very easy to navigate and I've always felt PureProfile has the best feel to it...shame it takes so long to get some wonga!
