    Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work with me. The survey is designed that you can exit part way through and start again, it's very good in that respect, but refreshing/reloading or even entering the survey again does not work.

    just back to find 4 invites from toluna in total nearly 10000 if i qualify for em all(gonna do when have time this even) then all i have to do is waiting for the heaps of points to get credited then finally get voucher
    dont know whether to carry on with them ? suppose ill see how long wait for points still owed some from april

    That sounds like a good idea BUT- I have so often found that by the time I wait to do a survey, all the spaces have been filled and there is no more survey anymore- hopefully this is not the case for you stressedaah30 but if it is, try to do the surveys asap if you want to stand a chance of actually doing the surveys, they all seem to be on a first come-first serve basis!

    Am so happy- I just got my first trial with ayton- its a body wash which is quite nice, I joined them back in oct last year and had been logging on near-daily to check for any trials ever since I joined! Boots rule though in terms of the product trials :)

    I've been using Global TestMarket for about 18 months now and I've managed to get about £250 from it.

    Started last January, withdrew money last October for Christmas because the money takes 6-8 weeks to get to you. Took me 6 months to make another £130 and I withdrew that in April so now I'm saving up for this Christmas!

    I've found them to be very good, my only niggle is you have to do LOADS of surveys to make a decent amount. With every point being worth $0.05 and a survey being roughly, on average, 50-75 points you can imagine how long it takes to amass a good amount!

    I know- I love GTM- they are one of my fave survey sites, but it took me several years to get my cheque for £150 earlier this year- still over the moon with it and really made a difference to me! You must be a well loved member for them to get £250 in 18 months- well done!

    Well today was a great day, i got my first payment of $11 from PalmResearch sent to my paypal account for the surveys i completed in March 2009.

    I've got $10 awaiting payment for April, which i should recieve either in June or July, but at least this company does pay out.

    Now all i'm waiting on is for surveyhead to verify my $11 and i can cashout through them as well.
