Taxation?
(Apologies if this was asked before.) I was wondering how the "rewards" of paid survey applications such as YouGov or Swagbucks are taxed, if at all. Would it make a difference if, using the points, you get an (e.g., Amazon) gift card or if you get cash for it (e.g., as YouGov allows)?

Swagbucks - can't even sign up!
I saw the Swagbucks sign up offer in this week's newsletter, so thought I'd give it a try. Won't let me sign up as it says my email address is "invalid". Works for every other site without issue. After spending too long trying to work out how to contact them, I managed to send them a message, only to be told they've be in…

YouGov finance, how many transactions do accounts need.
Good morning, I have just noticed YouGov finance will give you 500 YouGov points for each current account/credit card and 100 points for each savings account you link to them. The website says: The question is, how many/what value transactions do YouGov need for an account to be considered "active"? I was thinking of…

GfK Surveys
Do GfK surveys not give you points to save for gift cards and vouchers? It appears on my account that I can only use the points I earn to buy entries to prize draws. Has anybody ever won one of their prizes on these draws? It usually takes me at least an hour a week to fill in their surveys as they seem to go on a bit and…

OhMyDosh Amazon Offers (Made £23.50)
I made £23.50 and could have made a bit more if I wasn't already subscribed to Amazon Prime. Just a word of caution though, in their T&C's it does state you must forward the Amazon confirmation e-mail for each trial, I suspect many would miss that. (Use a Virtual Card and then cancel it so the trial doesn't renew, or just…

Cash prize draws which I got an Amazon voucher..However it's closed and offered to join a new survey company called SurveyPerks. So far been offered a few surveys but like most they screen you out and offer you 20 mins work for 30p. I think they are…

Side Hustles
Hi everyone! In a few years I want to semi-retire abroad, so I'd like to start a side hustle online now, then eventually live solely from it. Has anyone done this recently? Are there any successful digital nomads out there? Things like proof-reading sound okay, and I don't mind doing some training. (I couldn't find…

Survey company paid just one tenth of promised reward
So I completed an assignment and interview for a survey company called Tandemz. It was a bit unusual since I was required to log on to my HMRC account and show my screen, with a lot of confidential information, to the interviewer. Anyway, they then paid me just ten per cent of what they had promised! I complained and they…

Banned by lifepoints.
Life points have blocked me! I've been a member for many years. Their reason is that I've violated their terms and conditions. They won't elaborate on how. I've gone over the T&Cs but can't see what I may have done wrong. With the cost of living issues an extra few pounds from surveys really comes in handy. I'm always…
