are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

I do surveys with the US version of Surveyhead, and have noticed they haven't had the usual 0.46p surveys available for a few days now. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Finally, some movement on the Survehead front. I actually got a response to my email, but it was obviously their standard reply requesting that I check my spam folder for invitations, etc. Which would be a bit pointless as I never got invitations from the US branch - I just logged in every morning to do the daily survey.

But today I've had email invitations from both the US and UK versions (I'm a member there too, but am currently languishing in 'very little reward-dom'. So perhaps they've decided to change the way they go about things? Regardless, it was good to be able to finally take another survey with them and move a tiny bit closer to my next payout.

jenniewb, I’ve tried a lot of different survey sites too and can offer you one more. It is UniqueRewards.com. I’ve been taking surveys via this gtp site more than one year and always got paid. So, you can try too.

Thanks, I'll give them a go Have junked so many survey panels these last two years as a result of looking more critically at them that I feel pretty empty! The survey panels I do still have don't seem to like me (too broke, too old/young, not with enough mod-cons....) so I am open to trying anything new!

I have received a second £40 payout from one poll when I was only due one! They were sent about 9 days apart! Has anyone else experienced this?
I must say it's quite a moral dilemma, on the one hand, free money , on the other, it's kinda stealing and I don't think my conscience can handle it!

I've been waiting since 10th March for OnePoll payment, they're usually quite quick at paying.

Tempting though it may be, you know you are not entitled to this money.

Why not contact them - you may be surprised and find that your honesty is repaid and they let you keep it. If not, you will have done the correct thing.

I was the same- then they all started to come in a bit quicker, think it was due to the elections though but did email them complaints as it was sooo sloooow! It took me about 5 years to get to £50 and went straight onto paying off the credit card debt! Depressing and stress reducing at the same time!

that seems very low £15 in 3 years, i did my first £50 in around 11-12 mths i get quite a lot each month from them. hope yours picks up for you

I've heard back from Surveyhead US now. They haven't dropped the daily 75c/46p surveys, but have been having technical problems with them. Hopefully they'll be up and running again soon.

Good advice
I have done this, they're not known for replying to emails though so I'll see what they say. I don't think I could spend the money knowing it wasn't reall mine. Seems so stupid because I was waiting quite a long time for the first (correct) £40.

I had one payout from onepoll back when they were quick and reliable to use. Now I try surveys they tell me 9/10 times I am not the type of person they are looking for, put me in for a (non existant?) £200 draw, I go back to my profile, the same surveys are still there. Infact they stay put for a month at times.

I have had surveys where I get to 99% and they cancel me out, or even "thankyou" but no payment is made on a survey which promises 10p...Onepoll are becoming the next biggest bunch of scammers since Ciao and they're days with me are numbered to how much more I can put up with them. Been on £5 now well for over a year.

I would take the money and run and assume it was karma patting me on the shoulder if this happened to me, these guys have seriously gone down hill!

Is anyone still doing Pinecone refferals? I used to be with them a couple years ago, but they seem to have closed my account, but my circs have changed again, and I would really love to get back into it. I'm already joined up to Valued Opinions, OnePoll and Clix Research. Thanks x
