    You join up, they send you surveys, if you get through the survey you get points, Get enough points you can trade in for real things, vouchers or paypal funds.

    Takes a while but also depends on what type of person the surveys sent look for. I can go months with no survey from Lightspeed then get three in a week, it really changes alot. Vouchers by email arrive pretty quickly, by post a bit longer but overall a good service. Would recommend.

    i have to say my favourite is consumer pulse..i get £12 every month and then valued opinions where i normally get about 3 surveys a day with them and normally get through each time :)

    i haven't had anything from the one beginning with p in a while :(

    just cashed out my global test market and got just over £30 so not bad at all this year...:)

    oh and nearly at the £25 mark on rewarded opinions...second time in less then a year :)
    i like to complete surveys and reap the rewardsssss :)

    hi,
    if anyone wants to get into pinecone, i just used a link and it worked for me, without any invitations, referrals, etc.
    just go to google and type in: pinecone research banner
    the first result is mysurvey123.com, click on it, then when you go to the site, click on pinecone uk. hope it works

    I'm with them, wasn't too keen until about 12 months ago they changed the system to alot more paying surveys. These days they're probably one of my top payers, £70 to paypal since last october, although I'm a shade short of paying out at the moment my last payout was before they added the vouchers option so I'm reserving judgement on the new redemptions until I've tried it.

    Unlike globaltestmarket I don't mind clicking through to the short surveys after you screen out of the main ones either, most of them seem to be worth 50 points and I've sat and done 6 in a row in under 30 mins once which was a nice surprise since these things usually take so much longer than they claim (all said 5-10 mins).
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    I was with them for about 5-6 years, doing many many surveys, about 3 a day every day and just didn't get more then £5 for the entire time. I would however get entries into their various competitions which I never won- oh, except for the £5 I won once in year 2. I decided after posting on here that I had been wasting my time and had just gotten nothing for an awful lot of my time and energy. I gave up, think it was one of the worst sites I ever joined (and thats saying something- I was a member of Ciao and ToLuna!!)

    It has been mentioned though, think I may have mentioned it in my original question or soon after (page 1 or 2). HTH.

    Hey, I signed up with them in December maybe and at first it was slow but so far I've had £10 in Paypal and a £10 voucher for John Lewis arrived last week (about 3 days after I ordered it, so no problems encountered at all!)

    In fact their voucher arrived unusually quicker than my Consumer Pulse vouchers which I'm still waiting for. I phoned them yesterday and they blamed bank holiday postage delays..

    Also, Surveyhead. None of my surveys have been validated since June. I have had a payout from them before and so I know that it works, I'm just a bit frustrated now as if all surveys had been validated by now, I would be half way through to my next payout. Is anyone else having this problem at the moment? I did email them and they said it will be sorted soon, but this was two weeks ago.
