I get about 1 50p survey a month so I'm looking at about 8 years till I reach £50:eek:

I got the cheque within a week.
The only way to make money out the surveys is through referrals. It took me 18months to get to £30 and then I got some people referred and 2 months later and I have had a cheque for £50 and I am just over the £20 mark on the way to my next cheque.

I got invited to take part in an online focus group for YouGov. It took two hours to complete and they paid me £25. The cheque arrived about a week and a half later.

Having read rosenrot's post, could I be really cheeky too? I'm a real novice at this - but trying to learn! I would really like to join pinecone research but all I've learnt so far is that you have to be invited. I've decided to save my points up, on Toluna, Valued Opinions and Ipsos, for Christmas. They'll be really useful then. Do vouchers you get now have a use by date?
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help. Thanks very much.

Depends on the vouchers you order, amazon usually have 12 months but not sure about any others.

Toluna, order vouchers early, they can take over 2 months to arrive!!
Valued Opinions Ive always found good they email (amazon at least) vouchers almost instantly.

amazon have 12 months on, got a £5 one this morning, can we sell them on to anyone or do we have to keep them and use them ourselves

You can sell them if you want to although I would imagine you'll rarely get full value for them if you do.

Check out fleebay (ebay!) there are people on there selling amazon vouchers and getting more then they are actually worth! Not a mistake in bidding- they actually start at something like £10.50 for £10 voucher:eek:

Asked the seller why they were doing this, he said there was a market for it- either overseas buyers, people who do not want to transfer money via paypal to an account (either they get fees for doing that or have shared account or are a mass ebay seller and don't want the tax man finding out) they buy at an additional cost- so do check, you could end up getting back even more! But for me? Am saving up for a computer printer!
