    Just had a 12k survey from toluna, and completed it no worries. Said it was 40 minutes, took more like 15-20, easy points.

    EDIT: Even more good news, just had a survey from harris poll, that took all of 5 minutes to do, got paid £2 for it, which allowed me to reach the £25 payout, just got to wait 2-4 days for payment.

    EDIT 2: Just got my £25 payment, very speedy.

    Yes I have also had trouble with it for a couple of weeks or so now. Seems to time out more often than not. I have managed to get on it occasionally after a half dozen or more attempts just to check my points keep being added. Most recently was five minuted ago after 5 attempts today.
  • They don't have a sign-up website, however they do occasionally send out emails to existing members inviting them to forward their email on to those who are interested in joining the panel.

    I think I had one of these emails last week - if you're interested, pm me with your email address and I will forward it on to you.

    Anyway going back to the subject, my favourites are:

    Ipsos
    Lightspeed
    Pinecone

    I don't bother any more with:
    YouGov - 50p per survey, very infrequent and you can't cash it in until you reached £50!
    ciao - used to be good payers but now 10p for a survey?[/QUOTE]
    Please can you forward the pinecone email on to me at [EMAIL="chescahale@hotmail.com"]chescahale@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] i would be very greatful.:T

    I have been with Valued Opinions, Pinecone, Surveys.com, myTNS, American Consumer Online and Global Test Market. I like Valued Opinions best. Pinecone used to be good but now they send me like 1 survey a year! Global Test Market was also good, I can't remember why I stopped with them to be honest. I only really concentrate on Valued Opinions now.

    Can totally agree with you on Ciao, I don't do any of their surveys unless I am very bored (sunday night syndrome) am not cancelling just yet as they do give me something to do when I have nothing else but they are not top of my list- and if I had more money to do more stuff, I'd not be bothering!

    Yougov- I can see where your comming from about the surveys- or lack of, it took my friend about 4 years to get to her £50 and I am only on £14 after a year! (Cannot cash-out till £50). But they generally don't bother you unless they have a survey for you, so theres no real harm (as far as I can see) with joining and just waiting them out. Just don't get any ideas that cash-out will be any time soon!

    I also like Onepoll- have you tried it? it has surveys daily, all quick ones, all 5p 10p or prize draws (though none at the wk/end) cash-out is £40 and its taking me about a year- but others seem to get to cash-out faster then I do! It does rely on honesty, they surveys are up there to take and you vet yourself, not the other way around. But have known them to do checks and have known someone who had their account cancelled as they were less then honest- taking surveys that didn't match who they really were. So its in your interest to be honest, even if it means things take longer.

    I must be the only person who actually like ciao surveys, short survey lengths, you get £1 for referrals and paid out at £5

    Hi people.
    I have a few qualms regarding surveys;
    1. I enjoy Onepoll's survey format (on a site) and don't enjoy doing them over email etc. So, are there any other sites like Onepoll which you do the surveys from there?
    2. Hypothetically speaking, couldn't you just do several different accounts on the same site earning in X3 more money for example? What is stopping people do this?
    Thanks.

    Surveyhead are similar to onepoll in that you have to log in to find the surveys but there arent as many and as yet I cant say how good they are as I've not cashed out.

    Simple they check against IP addresses and probably MAC codes too, most have clauses in the t&c's to one account per computer and in some cases one per household (obviously most people have roaming IP's though). I expect there are other ways to check like from your details when you register, similar user id's/emails/payment addresses etc.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
