Does anyone do the surveys on Yougov & if so has anybody actually received the £50 cheque in the post?
I have about another 90 surveys to do before i reach the 5000 points tally

I did actually receive my £50 after doing their surveys for what seemed like an eternity about 4 weeks ago, i have now started again and have 400 points, don't know how long it will take me to get another £50. Other survey sites are better as you get paid more regularly.

Im starting to get a bit peeved off with yougov in all honesty as like you say, it seems to take an eternity before you get to 5000 points

Hi I have had 6 cheques of £50 and 1 Amazon voucher for £10 over the last 3 years so yes you do get them but it can be slow at times. I do every survey they send even the ones that only offer a possible prize and I try to compete the survey as soon as possible.

I had £50 in october last year, and from then upto now I've got 3150 points (£31.50) I seem to go for weeks without any surveys, then get a few in a week, pre-election time was quite good - hopefully I'll make the £50 before xmas:)

I'm just a few points away, reckon one or two more surveys. Taken me about a year, but I missed a few points. May not be fast money, but for the few mins a time it takes it's worth the slow journey to an extra £50.

i have been doing yougov surveys for about two years and have just had my second lot of £50, while not the best, most of the surveys are more interesting than other sites and they are very reliable.

Look at the thread on here - "are these survey sites worth it".

Lots of sites mentioned with varying opnions.

I think you just have to try them out and see which ones work for you because it will certainly differ depending on your profile. Do fill in your profiles on any of them as I believe that will help you receive surveys. You also need to complete invitations immediately they arrive otherwise they become filled quickly. Some sites you need to check their website each day for surveys rather than wait for e-mail invitations. Also be prepared to be screened out very frequently. This seems to be getting worse nowadays for me.
