are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

PINECONE - Think it's swings and roundabouts with them. When I got referred, the person that referred me was getting 1 survey a month, and I was getting at least 6 a month. Having been with them for almost a year, I am getting around 1 to 2 a month now. I too like the previous poster, am getting lots of pre screening surveys that last almost 10 minutes and you do not get paid. I'm just hoping I stand more of a chance when I do these pre screening ones. *** GLOBALTESTMARKET - Probably the best one at the moment. I have been with them for about 7 months. Cashed my first 1000 points about 2 months ago, cheque came really quickly. I have now got 750 points, only 250 more before I can cash it in again. Woohoo. *** VALUED OPINIONS - I too have noticed that one or two of my pending credits have disappeared. I gave them a call the other day, and the chap did his very best not to answer my question. At the moment, I don't want to throw up a big fuss as I am waiting on £20 for a product test I did, and I already have £30 in my credits.

Generally I'd say the survey sites are worth it. I just got £270 worth of stuff from Amazon and used £80+ of vouchers from surveys, and I'd already used loads over the course of the year for xmas presents etc.

I am a member of Pinecone and have to admit now i don't even bother to do their surveys....it seems you now have to do an unpaid screener before they decide whether or not to send you a link to a paid one. I started a few of these screeners but they were so long i got bored and went and did something else instead. I will refer people though if I get the chance....I think like the other poster said consumerpulse are one of the best (again they are not recruiting now). My fave though is itsyourview.com, anyone can join, no referrals and i have earned over £60 so far. Surveys are between £2-5 each and are usually quite interesting and the format they are presented in makes them easy to fill out. A tip for these lot is though, whatever you do don't fabricate any answers. They double check some of the category info at the end (dob, no. of vehicles, children etc) and if you have lied you don't get paid. :rotfl:

I have to admit that I have been caught out a couple of times with those

I dont know if its just me- I have posted this before but no one seems to take it into account, so incase its not just me.

re pinecone, I have tried asking for referal links- there is not a place on the site to refer people, but I am told repeatedly they are not takeing on referals now, its been said to me afew times now, its not possible for me to refer anyone, it could be as I am new, it could be as they are genuinly not recruiting, but I cant refer anyone, sorry, I have tried.

Just wanted to add to my list of now growing decent sites that I hgave stuck with,

dooyooo.com, which is an excellent site where you write up reviews for things you have used (no free samples, just things you have genuinly gone out and bought and used and have experience of) a review iof its over 150 words will pay 50p.
When you have £10 in points you can ask for an amazon voucher which takes 2 weeks to arrive (10 buisness days which is 2 weeks to the hour) if you have £50 in points you can get it sent as a cheque. Very useful if you have lots of free time on your hands and use computers alot.
Suggestions are that you type in what you want to review as searching for everything on the site isnt possible, they have quick searches for comouters and electronic stuff, but you can actually reviw makeup, food, shops, websites, but you will need to type these in to get up on the page to review.

If you want to join its free, if anyone wants to thank me- please ask me to refer you- I get points, you dont loose points and you also immediatly become my friend so I can review what you write and help you get more points (you get more points when people review what you have written about)

If you want me to refer you, I need your email to send the link- I promise I wont send you spam! -promise! just the link to the site (dont even have any spam to send!):rotfl:

i'd also be careful how long you take to fill out home of research surveys. the other day i did one for £3.00 and at the end of it they said i had taken to short a time to fill it in and they didn't pay me. rudeness, i was well within the 25 mins it said it would take.

I don't understant that. What does it matter how long (or quick) it takes you as long as you complete it and complete it properly

I have started surveys at the same time as my bezzy matey, WattyUK, and she finishes a survey in 9mins that takes me the best part of 25 :rolleyes:
