    Hi HH,
    OnePoll do not send surveys to you.You need to check their site.Log onto OnePoll and under members area click on 'surveys available to you' and if there are any new surveys they will show up.:)

    I've just joined onepoll. I cant find the surveys. Do I need to wait until they offer me ones please?

    HHx

    I'm with OnePoll and have around £25. Cashing out is very slow because the earnings from the polls are so low, plus you need at least £40 on your account. The surveys however are often quick to complete (under 5 minutes). Unfortunately, they don't email you telling you there are new surveys up, you have to manually check. This is an annoyance and I often miss many surveys.
  • Thanks - found it. Easy when you know how!

    Have a good evening x

    Anybody else having problems with lightspeed and mysurvey? I used to get a good 2 or 3 surveys a week from them both, but they have since dried up and its rare I get them. I recently got married so changed my surname on the profile and did wonder if this has affected it, just thought Id see if anyone else has had a shortage?
    I did email them a couple of times and have yet to get an answer too.

    I've found that most of the surveys have dried up for most companies, but its been over a period of months and even a year in some cases, some (toluna, ciao) still send out surveys but then don't pay up for your responses.

    I think its because its summer- surveys seem to want to question wealthy people in comparison to poorer people (it wants to know how the wealthy spend their money and what makes them tick so that they can become a part of their needs) and these people go on holiday in the summer. I'd have thought the surveys will pick up again around October time.

    I do think though that there has been a drop in payment for surveys too. Either answers are taken without money being paid or payment is alot lower and far less frequent then it used to be. GTM is a good example of that, I now don't bother with 3/4 of their surveys as they just seem to offer "3 entries and 3 of something else" rather then actual points payment. So far I have had about 100points added to my account every 6 months, veeeerrrry slow!

    I like Valued Opinions the best, have had lots of £10 Amazon Vouchers from them. Ipsos and Lightspeed are also ok. Still trying to get to £40 with One Poll, at £29 now but been doing them for months. Quite a lot of the surveys are for my kids to do though or for people with kids.

    I joined Ipsos but how do I participate in surveys? GlobalTestMarket, Valued Opinions and Lightspeed are my favourites. OnePoll is ok, Opinion Bar is good pay but few surveys to do.

    Ipsos send you an e-mail when there is a survey for you to complete.
