    Is this the daily GFK media appreciation survey? If so, just to put in my experience with them.

    Basically after you sign up, you can complete a daily survey on your media usage (TV and radio) and give your opinions on the programmes. But instead of paying you for each survey done, you receive an entry in the monthly prize draws (threshold of 5-10 entries needed to enter prize draw). There are separate surveys and prize draws for TV and radio. Surveys won't be longer than 5 mins. I have gotten £5 quid almost each month from the prize draws (take note I do the surveys almost every day of the month - the more you do, the more chances you get!). Prize draws range from £5 up to £2500 for TV surveys, and only one £1500 prize for radio surveys.

    Occasionally, a group of people will be selected for a more in-depth survey which gives out cash if you complete them for 7 days consecutively (typically £5, confirmed payment if you do it for 7 days). I have gotten these limited invitation roughly every 2-3 months.

    On my experience with them, they have a really amazing 'customer' service. A few times I had to email them about an error (in doing the surveys or not receiving payment) and each time they replied promptly, and with additional payment too!

    Note: £ are not in cash, but in retail vouchers (amazon, topshop, hmv, basically everything you can think of)

    So, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you have 5 mins to spare EVERYDAY. If you don't do it 90% of the month, you'll probably not find it worth your time.

    Pros:
    - almost guaranteed £5 or more if you do it everyday
    - occasional £5 7-day survey
    - chance to win big £££ (up to £2500!)
    - amazing support services
    Cons:
    - pays in entries for prize draws, not cash for every survey
    - usually only £5 for a month of daily 5mins effort


    TIPS:
    1. Sign up for the daily email reminder. You'll receive an email with a direct link which logs you in automatically on the site.
    2. Don't worry if you forgot to do it during the day, apparently you still can complete the surveys for the day up to a few hours past midnight.
    3. Do it frequently!

    I have signed up to GFK but how do you login?

    I don't have any link to the website in my emails and the one on this forum is just the sign up survey.

    GFK. Make a free high street voucher
    There’s a way to get a free fiver from media research company GfK. It gives away free £5 Ovation vouchers to spend at high street stores when you sign up via this special MoneySavingExpert.com link. (We have no commercial relationship with GfK; it just wanted to do a special offer for MoneySavers.)

    All you have to do is sign up, then wait a few days for e-mail with a link to a 10 minute survey. If you complete at least five or more daily surveys in the first four weeks after signing up, GfK will give you a £5 Ovation voucher (valid at Amazon, Next, Argos, HMV and others).

    The voucher should arrive within three weeks of you completing your fifth survey. Further surveys beyond the first five will be rewarded with entries into the monthly prize draws; GFK gives away 2,000 £5 Ovation vouchers, and cash prizes including a top prize of £1500.
    Chart-32.gif Quick Stats. How do you get paid? High street vouchers. Typical payment per survey: £5 for first five. Payout threshold: £5. Typical time to complete: 10 mins. Feedback/Discuss: GFK

    Although I enjoy doing the GFK media survey (which I have been doing for several years now) I have only ever had the odd £5 prize - about 3 a year on average. I get asked to complete extra surveys for extra prize draw entries, but never for extra cash/vouchers.

    I did my first months worth of surveys - reached the 10 & 5 ticket threshold for the month and now it is tellign me that last month i only got to 6 tickets in the tv and 6 in the radio. These numbers are not even similar to what it was telling me on the 1st June. So does that mean i'm gonna miss out on the draw?
    Have emailed to complain / ask what is happening but had no response.
