I get a survey approximately once a fortnight. They pay very quickly via PayPal.

You are lucky to receive them that often. I am lucky if I get one a month.

According to freeparentstuff.co.uk PC are looking for parents with children 3 or younger.

I completed registering for Pinecone this week and was sent a survey almost immediately. It will be interesting to see when the next one arrives. it didn't say how much it was for, am I right in assuming that it will be for £3?
I prefer getting vouchers to cash. That's what's so good about Consumer Pulse - you know you are easily going to make £10 of vouchers a month.

The payment is £4 and at first the method was payment with luncheon vouchers sent in the post. Once Pinecone are satisfied you are going to stay with them they allow payment via PayPal, which is great, and they pay the next day. I do get about one survey per fortnight and have been with them for a couple of years now. I have done a couple of product testings, and you get another £4 for giving your opinion of the product. They are very professional and always reply immediately if you contact them for help.

No for new members the payment is now £3.

I'm amazed you get so many from them though, I've been with them a similar length of time and am lucky to get one a month, I think my average is one every 6 weeks overall.

Ooh I have been lucky then, I was never on the £3 either. I probably fit their demographic demands in some way.

I'm with quite a few (too many to count) and some are worth it, some aren't.

These are my top favourites (in no particular order):-

Pinecone Research - £4 for every completed survey
MyTNS - Nectar points
Lightspeed Research - Points which you can turn into paypal, money or gifts
Ipsos - Points turned into vouchers
OnePoll - varied from 5p to 20p for answering a few questions, very quick
Valued Opinions - Points turn into voucher
Harris Poll - Points turn into gifts or Paypal (in euros )
American Consumer Online - normally pay £2 per survey and sometimes test things


The ones I think are a waste of time are:-

Hotspex - takes forever to get any points
Surveyspot - normally you get an entry into their sweepstakes, and play their scratch card game, nothing more (used to pay cash)
Ciao - 10p for a 20 minute survey is pants (they used to be good, boo!!)
Consumer Research Online - Been with them since Jan and not a single peep out of them.


I am with some others but they're not really worth mentioning .

How many surveys do you get? £30 for 5 years seems really bad to me. Have you completely filled out your profiles? Worth checking.

I'm sure some more surveys will come your way.

I agree with this analysis also.

YouGov has paid me several times in the past, but now it takes ages to get to their £50 payout minimum, so unless you have the patience to wait a couple of years for the joy of receiving £50 cheque, do not bother to join them.

They are reputable and honest enough, it is only the length of time it takes to reach payout that most people are annoyed with.

Are other people able to log in to Ipsos? I'm finding the site's saying it's under construction and has been for about 2 weeks now. I did a survey for them the other day and reckon i'm close to a voucher but can't get it

Same, can't log in but am happy to wait they've always been reliable in the past (I remember my mum doing surveys for them back before the internet), I've got enough points to claim a few vouchers from them but want to wait at the moment until I know if/when I'm moving.
