    Yep me too, 1000pts for £7.80 Amazon - I think they've finally cottoned on!

    Oh well that is a shame I guess they finally realized, to be fair it does say it is for a $10 voucher so I guess we were just lucky before.


    Some of the surveys on here pay quite well if you can get them, I am very selective about the ones I do and if they are short time or high payment I will give them a go. Failing that the daily poll every day does add up (with the 25 point streak every 10 days) so for the sake of that it is work a click a day. :)

    So lower rewards coming then, not that I have used mintvine much since they figured out the amazon exchange rate error.

    Lower than 40 points (ie 30 pence or so) for 15-20 minute surveys, which seems to be what most of their surveys pay at the moment?

    Why would anyone waste their time on these, when other sites pay triple that for a quarter of the time invested?

    They only make money if people do the surveys so people must be doing them at that rate.

    I have just done a Mintvine survey about the NHS which paid a 10 p Amazon bonus for each correct answer in addition to the Mintvine points so I am not giving up just yet.

    I had that one too, wasn't sure how I was going to get the bonus but it was a nice surprise when I got the Amazon voucher! More like this one please! :)

    I am on the fence with this site, the payouts are pretty quick and they have available surveys most of the time but whenever I click through email it always says either survey not active or has filled up - even 2 minutes after I get the email.

    However at the minute other sites don't seem to be much better - Getting frustrated at spending 5 minutes to be told either a survey is full or I am not what they are looking for.
