are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

When joining Triaba Panel I found it would not accept our post code as it consists of two letters and one number. Got round this by adding a zero prior to the number (ie. AB 3 became AB03) and it accepted it.

You can also join Triaba Panel UK - triabapanel.co.uk - they pay between £0.50 and £3 per survey. This is a typical Cint-panel

Proffen, you seem to be pushing this survey sight quite heavily on the Survey Police forums. You linked to them by any chance ????

Think I'll keep far away from this survey panel as the site was only created in July 2009.

Ok I know you work for Triaba Panel because you have only made two posts thats a BIG clue & they are both about Triaba Panel another BIG clue.

I have looked through the privacey statement & have decided to give them a go. Once logged in its exactley the same as another two survey site which is something to do with cint.

Oh by the way the psotcode thing worked

All good survey sites- join up if you can!! Worth it!

I didn't know MySurvey was a US based site, but they pay- they all pay fine and are fairly good with customer service replies and help. Consumer pulse is the best of the three but all are good. The reason consumer pulse is better is that you interact with it more and so get more points as a result, points=prizes (vouchers which you can cash in after you have the basic amount)

Thanks, but how do I join?!!

I was replying to you as you said you'd seen a banner somewhere- am not sure how to join these as its been years Ive been a member of them- aside from consumer pulse who I was refered to. You could try googling them? but if you found them on a banner like you said in your question, I'd go back to find the banner.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how I can join Consumer pulse and/or TNS/MySurvey? I have found a banner to join the latter but it is the US site - click to go to the European one and I just find to the login page, nowhere to actually join.

Do you need to be referred? If so, is anyone able to refer me please?

You can't really join consumer pulse, you get invited by them by email, been with them for years they are really good, I never got invited to consumer pulse though, ( i did find a like somewhere to long ago to remember )

Okay that's it! I am now well and truly fed up of Ciao Surveys - if anyone is considering joining their panel (and hasn't already) then don't!

I've known since I first joined that too many of their surveys only pay 10p which is not too bad if they are under 10 minutes but when it got to them asking for 20-30 minutes of my time for 10p I started just completing the ones that pay 30p+ together with a few of the shorter 10p ones. However, I've noticed recently that many of their estimated survey times are, to say the least, a little inaccurate. I did one the other day (for 10p) which was supposedly to take 5 minutes or so and then proceeded to take over 20 minutes (and I both read and type fast!). To cap it all I've had several in the last few weeks where I've worked on the survey for at least 10 minutes - and then got screened out! I don't know of any other panel that asks so many questions and then expects to get away without paying for it - even when it is only 10p!

I've been a member of Ciao for 7 months now and have had the grand total of £6.40 for the privilege (with £2-3 still outstanding for recent surveys). I had intended to resign once I got enough (£5 or more) to ask for my Paypal credit but lo and behold I started getting more better paid surveys around this time so I carried on. I now plan to wait for my next £5 to accumulate and then resign.

I know surveys don't pay anywhere near enough to compensate for the actual time and effort put in (and no-one in their right mind does them for money alone) but Ciao are seriously taking the p*** even by these standards. I just wish I'd resigned after my first payment.

Okay, so who do you nominate for worst survey panel of 2009?

:mad:

I nominate Toluna!

Although you can pick up scores of points daily on their website, there is no excuse for having to wait 10 weeks or more to receive payment.

They're taking the michael!

I'm still waiting for a £10 Amazon voucher which I claimed at the beginning of October 2009 with toluna, it still says N/A in the voucher available when bit of my rewards. Amazon vouchers are sent instantly from other survey sites by email so this is way beyond a joke

Have issues with both ToLuna where I ordered Love2Shop vouchers in early October and I'm STILL waiting for a date- then as a further kick in the teeth they email me to say "just an upate, we've now sent out all the vouchers now till the end of Sept." I emailed back saying I'm not doing any surveys basicly till I have my vouchers.

Ciao are just a joke. I have just cashed in all my £15 of paypal vouchers (took me a year) and finished with them. I was not getting paid for the bulk of they surveys I did do and the other half I kept getting all the way through the survey- to the part where they double check your still male/female and what your age is, I'd do all that then get a page saying something like "progama no cachet" or somthing. They said I had issues with my computer- well its funny how all the other surveys I do with other companies work fine! I didn't even have my firewall on anyway! I was owed something in the region of £50 and I know I wont see a penny of that. I'm gone! Better things to do with my time!

At the moment these were the worst of the year, have others that are not good but its normally as they don't send enough surveys rather then anything else. At least they don't rob you by tricking you into a survey and then not paying!
