    Is anyone having problems redeeming points with My Survey? When i click redeem the screen just goes blank?!?!?

    I'm not redeeming at the moment but i've just tested it as far as I can and it seems ok for me.

    I haven't tried to redeem, but the points from the surveys I do at My Survey haven't been adding on to my total lately. :(
  • I haven't been having any problem with My Survey lately, though Valued Opinions is getting great with their excuses.

    Incidentally, if anyone has a Pinecone invite please drop me a line via PM. Thanks.

    ok, so here is my second post about this as the first got scrubbed out, unfortunatly I am not allowed to put in links,even if I googled for them/they are not referal links.

    So here goes!
    I am joined to over 17 survey sites, I do surveys every day and have been doing surveys for 5 years in total.

    As a result of these, my grand total is.....

    £30

    this is not alot of money, for alot of my time and I am not sure if I should carry on or which to stop...

    I am just wondering if anyone else has found any of the listed surveys not worth it, that they dont pay up/problems with sending out rewards, poor email replies, not adding on points... whatever it is, I just want to reduce my current near 20 survey sites down to much less.

    I am joined to all in the poll I have made, and in addition, I am alos joined to...
    Opinion World, Neilsen, Voice in a Crowd, Synovate, Harris, Saros, Brain Juicer, Opinion People, Spot survey, Mi-info and Ciao


    EDIT!!

    After many posts, I feel the need to state here that although Pinecone is a fantastic survey site, they do not often recruit.

    Joining Pinecone is done by clicking on a banner (which I have yet to witness) or via referral.

    With referals, members need to be sent a referal link by Pinecone. This does not happen very often at all.

    Best thing to do is to wait to see if anyone offers a referal link first rather then asking for one.

    Thanks- have had one pay out from newvista, would estimate my next in about 2-3 years (going on how long it seems to take me) but as my personal circumstances have changed quite a bit I seem to go through phases of being accepted for most of their surveys to being accepted for about 20% of them at the moment :( They need more surveys for poor people!!

    I think they are worth sticking with though (even though I dislike their survey style: the filling in the date of birth for example which just requires too much fiddling/too many keys to press in random areas of the keyboard...) and the long pause.....between questions.
    Others have had issues with their being booted off the £50 total when nearing the £49 mark due to their '3 errs and your out' system so have to be super careful with their surveys even doing that I still have managed to get errors where I've read the question and missed the correct answer!
  • did anyone get an email recently from gfk saying there was a 'special' survey starting today, to find it was as normal?

    I have not had any survey invites from My Survey for quite a while and there are none shown when I log in.

    Is everyone else still being sent surveys? If so, probably to do with the last birthday I have just had - perhaps they think I'm too old to have an opinion!
