It might be worth trying -

Global Test Market
http://www.globaltestmarket.com/login.php
Pay out when account reaches 1000 points - £30 (ish)

Pure Profile
http://www.pureprofile.com/
Pay out at £25. You need to log in daily to see whether
surveys available. They don't always email them.

Rewarded Opinions
http://www.rewarded-opinions.com/DubMembers/do/logon
Pay out at 2000 points.

OnePoll
http://www.onepoll.com/
Slightly different to other survey companies. Log in daily and complete very short surveys - worth between 10p and 15p or so. Not much money but it does mount up, and they pay out (by BACS) at £40.

There are a couple of others, YouGov (pay out at £50) and New Vista (also pay out at £50). In my experience, you don't receive many surveys, therefore wait long time for pay out.

Good luck!

If you want to try New Vista (formerly, and still known on TopCashBack, as ItsYourView) then join TopcashBack and do the surveys from the TCB link to the NewVistaLive website.

That way you will get 70 pence per survey completed (IF IT TRACKED) which being in your TopCashBack account, means you can withdraw it at any time it is fully credited to your account (can take a couple of months).

A couple of months is better than the years it would take otherwise (for me anyway, speaking from experience before I resigned from ItsYourView/New Vista Live).

There are some tracking glitches sometimes, but I have had over £6 from them now via TCB, which is better than waiting for £50 in 5 years time (when the New Vista site might have even vanished, along with all the money they owed you).

The difference between doing New Vista (It's Your View) surveys at the website or through a cashback site, is the money you're paid.

Completing surveys directly at New Vista pays £1 for 5 minutes (can amount to £2/£3/£4 or more for longer surveys). However, you are never going to receive more than 75P from a cashback site, even though the money will be paid much more quickly.

I think New Vista is fine. Received a £50 cheque in November - the second one last year - and I am already up to 22 points towards the next one.
Much better for me than a lot of the others where I get thrown out after some questions.
I have got to be careful though as received an email a little while ago about not meeting quality control on 2 surveys over the last 2/3 years - both of which were genuine errors. Apparently if I fail another qc test they will close the account so I am being extra careful in reading the questions, especially as they do switch the options for some questions on a regular basis.

Even worse is to do them through Mutual Points where you get 75 points per survey which is only worth about 50p and the redemption threshold is still high at £20.

Valued Opinions pays most but GFK are a close second as although they are mostly prize draws the chances of winning are very good and the rewards are not taxable.

Wow- your either very lucky or have exactly what they want: right profession, salary or etc. I've got 9 points and its been around 2 years. I don't think I'll ever get to 50, not in the next decade!

Lishtspeed has been the best for me so far... and I've only been payed out £7 :rolleyes:

All the rest hardly send surveys, and it doesnt seem like im going to reach the minimum checkout anytime soon!

Have you tried:
Valued Opinions, Global Test Market or OnePoll? these would be my top few.
I'd also say keep up to date with all your details on the sites, re-fill them in even if the details are the same and double check things- sometimes surveys seem to get sent to those that are more up to date then others, thats what I find anyway!

Also make sure you check your inbox regularly and reply to fill in every survey when it comes up, even waiting a day later can mean all the spaces are gone!

And above all, don't count on anything as money/vouchers comming to you, do them as a thing to pass time and think of the credits as a bonus to that. I keep a check on mine now every month and drop the losers (in your opinion, ciao, toluna....and various others are now gone from my inbox) but only look to see who I feel is taking me for a ride, otherwise I just like to give my opinion rather then anything else. Makes any rewards feel like a nice suprize!

Not so happy with New Vista this morning.

Received a survey invite worth £6. Spent about 15 minutes filling in loads of info on all kind of insurances to be told I wasn't wanted. What a waste of my time!!!:mad:
