    I've been with YouGov for about 4 years and I've built up a grand total of £25. Have to reach £50 to take it out. Admittedly, I don't check my emails that often, largely because the surveys are few and far between, but I suppose I probably could have reached the £50 mark after 4 years having done every survey possible...

    If you're prepared to wait it's not too bad, but patience required.


    Been about (or comming up to) 2 years for me, I check my emails daily, never miss a survey and in addition, about once to seven times a week, log onto the site to double check I'm not missing any surveys or prize draws.

    Am on £17.25 and not moving anywhere fast.

    Think maybe it has alot to do with who you are- eg if you are wealthy, they may want to send you more surveys as they may then know who to market products at. I for example am on a mega low salary and in many ways am maybe just not worth marketing to!

    Am estimating 8 years to £50 myself. And thats if I continue to get one a month- there are some months I don't get any, it could get worse. 2014 here I come!

    I have just been with YouGov since March08 but I find you get a run of surveys then nothing for weeks so I am hoping my run keeps going for another £2 soon.

    I also noticed if you do the prize draw ones they tend to generate surveys.
    YouGov :) £50.....2/09/09
    YovGov :) £50....11/03/11
    YouGov :) £50....10/08/12
    YouGov :) £50....15/11/13
    YouGov :) £50....15/12/14

    WOOOOHOOOO!!!

    Got my Onepoll £40 last night/this morning and today got my £25 PureProfile amount!

    Onepoll paid straight away- into paypal as of 10am this morning. PureProfile say 21 days to transfer amount to me.

    Either way I am v.happy! I just had my Lekkie bill and otherwise would be unable to pay!

    Jaw has just dropped!!
    Sent homeofresearch an email about some missing points for one survey about 1500, just got home from work and they have replied creditting me with 925 missing points :eek:

    Not sure if its an error at their end or not but having checked there are indeed 925 points on my account which werent before, the 100 I thought I was missing plus 100 from the survey I did this afternoon, so thats 725 points I didnt even know I was short....
    Will leave it a few days incase they decide it is a mistake before claiming a cheque though. :D

    Weird, ahh well will leave it a week anyway then decide if I'm requesting £25 or £20 and leaving 500 points towards my next redemption.

    Have also just realised I've been unsubscribed from all the 'homes' panels I'd joined so busy re subscribing to them.

    Just got email from paypal to say i have been paid from this company for doing online surveys.. I am also registered with their sister company surveyhead.com who i have been paid by, twice. & also surveyhead.CO.UK The cash threshold is $25 although for some reason there was $28 went in from focusline. It generally takes 4 days from the time you request this payment till it goes into your paypal. I have had a $20 survey from Focusline and been paid for it so didnt take very long to get the 25 for me lol
