    I have been with most of the survey sites I am on since sept 07.I cant complain I have had £26 from lightspeed into paypal,also I got a £10 amazon voucher sent via email last week from them from a survey I had done for them dont remember what it was but a nice surprise., £20 tesco vouchers from valuedopinion,£40 boots vouchers from ipos. £10 from juicy brain.onepoll I am upto £27 but I am sure if I visited more regulary I would have reached £40, I will aim to get it for christmas. I recently joined opiniumbar only have a £1 in surveys I have done but filled one in last week to do a home trial for 3/4 weeks(an intimate product) and that I would get £50 when completed but you have to send product back.I got email to say I am on the trial so very happy .should be alot of fun.x

    Well done, that's fantastic. :T Wish someone would ask me to do a £50 survey! I notice you get tesco vouchers from valued opinions, I'm sure last time I asked for payment they just put the cash in my bank account. I don't shop at Tesco! :rotfl:

    come across this link in the babyworld webpage ..
    go through the forum, somebody post the referral link there .. i don't think its work if I copy paste the link here ..guess that it should go from that page than u can be accepted to register .. I use the same link to register .. hope it might still work when u get there .. good luck ..

    Hi all,

    I am new to the site and got registered with a few survey sites.

    I just got 3 disqualified surveys on Lightspeed. Anyone knows the trick to be qualified?

    Also, it would be grateful if someone can give me referral to Pinecone. Much appreciated.

    Hi,
    what I do is google each of the names people mention, like opinionpeople, opinionworld, global test market.... etc etc, I did originally post this question with the links to each of the survey home pages, it had been to help people recall which survey site was which :T (it can get confusing if like me your listed with near enough 20 sites:rotfl: ), but it got reported as spam or something,:mad: otherwise I'd post you the links, but google does give the results.

    hope that helps!:o

    I have had nothing but good communication from and with Valued Opinions and they have sent me at least one if not two surveys every week since I joined, so I wonder if something went wrong with your registration? I would give them an email and ask why you are not receiving surveys.

    One thing I have found with virtually any of these companies is that if at the end it has a question along the lines of

    "having done this survey do you want to do... more, less, same", If you do the I postively will do more, or much more option, I seem to get more invites.
    Hope this helps
