Toluna, problems accessing website

Playing games on your mobile.
I loaded up Mistplay and spent a lot of yesterday playing games and following the tips. Only play a game to level 20. Finally got to 2000 points plus. Applied for an Amazon £5 card. Had to take a pic to prove I wasn't a robot. Took several goes. Then I was told I had had a Mistplay account before and therefore did not…
Overseas survey sites
I have associates in both the Philippines and Hong Kong who are need to increase their income. Could anyone advise if the better-paid surveys/focus groups listed on MSE are open to people from these countries, or whether there are companies over there who pay more than mere "pin money"?

Watching adds for money? iOS?

Branded Surveys deduct points - MSE please update your review
Hello MSE (I am new and do not know how else to raise this), Branded Surveys are operating a policy of deducting points for data quality reasons they refuse to disclose. This apparently can include filling in a survey too quickly, which is nonsense given the majority of the surveys they have offered me are already full up…

Play games for cash

Is Shoppix any good to sign up to?
As the title says...is Shoppix worth signing up to? As long as it pays out, I'm not too bothered how slow it is to earn a couple of ££, but there are so many of these companies that you seem to sign up to, do the hard work and then the rewards don't come through
NIcequest
