    you must be lucky as I've just done another survey and again the points haven't gone on & balance still showing as only 70 points
    I also get the message in my survey history tab
    You have not received any survey invitations since the 29th of March.

    I'm sure it'll sort itself out eventually a015.gif

    Congrats! I'm nearly at £20...just another 10 years to go!
    My IPSOS points are still the same as before the website changes, fingerscrossed it gets sorted okay within the next week or so for us all :)

    Just had this reply from Ipsos regarding points from surveys not being added even after the new site has gone live

    We would like to let you know that some of our currently active surveys were programmed or launched before our new website came online. Therefore, the points for these surveys will not be credited to your account immediately after the completion of the questionnaire. Your account will be updated gradually with the necessary points, over the upcoming period.

    Nevertheless, you will find that surveys programmed and launched after the 29th of March will credit your points soon after their completion.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Kind regards,

    Ipsos Support Team

    Hopefully should all be sorted soon, at least they give a reply unlike some other survey sites!

    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.


    I've been with YouGov for ages now and I'm up to £35.50 so I'm getting there, slowly.

    However last year I got an invite from them to take part in an online discussion group. This basically involved watching some adverts and commenting on them 'live' rather than via a survey. The session lasted from 7pm to 9pm on a week night and I got paid £25 for taking part. They clearly wanted the opinions of men of a certain age on this occasion and I assume they just picked so many people at random but it was well worth taking part.

    There was a spin off from yougov a while ago that asked pannelists to be a part of a movie making group. Everyone was asked to vote on genre and script ideas but then the emails stopped. Is anyone still doing this? how far did it get?
  • Surveyhead - anyone having problems with these? Normally I dont have apart from a couple of surveys which are still pending.

    However I did a survey today worth £2.62 re :- Pantaloc Heatburn remedy, I answered all the questions and the final bit says press the next button to and then it said I didnt qualify??

    Absolutely fuming like anyone know how to contact them? I have tried a emaul address before with no reply :mad:
