    I like Populus as they pay quite well compared to other survey companies.


    In the last couple of days have completed 2 of their surveys at £3 each. They send an email invitation when they want you to do a survey.


    Their surveys are more interesting than the usual household goods/beauty surveys, they concentrate more on political issues and current affairs.


    The downside is that you can go a week or more without receiving any surveys, and are unable to cash out until your account reaches £50.


    I would recommend though.

    Thanks Libra10

    I hope I get some surveys soon! I do NewVista & YouGov too, so I am used to waiting for payouts!

    I find I get very few from Populus live although those you do get pay well and they email so you don't have to keep checking. I'm on only about £22 after 4-5 months.

    Are PopulusLive owned by the same company as NewVista?

    I ask this because they are the only two survey sites I know that pay via cheque and their surveys have a similar layout. Although, I notice that PopulusLive surveys pay better than NewVista.

    Have not had any survey invites from them for a month. Quite unusual, as used to receive the survey every two weeks. Anyone else?

    kiwi07, yes, the supply has just about dried up recently. It's great that they send an email when there is one available, unfortunately though by the time I get the email the survey is already fully subscribed, or often times they let me answer a few basic questions and then advise I am not eligible. It's really annoying!

    Not received any invites this month, I think it's got quieter for me the last few months. They do a lot more surveys around General election times. I only need another £5 to get a cheque again so could do with some studies!
