are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

Is anyone else waiting ages for their OnePoll £40 payout? I requested mine on 14th November and still haven't received it.

I recently signed up with mysurvey and their 'rate of pay' has been higher than i expected, I’m not sure if it'll remain consistent though. In a little over a week I’ve acquired nearly 600 points, enough for a £5 Amazon voucher. I'd say I’ve been offered over 1500 points total in surveys, but missed out for a number of reasons(some out of my control, such as screening, others not; letting the surveys expire).

How do the other sites compare? Is this some flattering beginner-period?

In short, yes. Though they are one of the better sites IMO and certainly worth sticking at when things slow down a bit.

Would be interesting to hear if you'd joined onepoll, (let me know if you want a referal link anyone!)

When I first joined onepoll it was different and you could do any survey they listed. I think it took me little under 6 months to get to my first £40 and I was being very honest and didn't do the surveys which weren't applicable (eg answeing those about children because I didn't have children, have heard others in a similar non child owner position would do these surveys because they knew someone who had a child...)

Since they clamped down on everyone I have had far fewer surveys and its looking like yougov (who never seem to get any better) and NewVista (same) are actually now faster then onepoll to payout. We're looking at years!

It took me a little over a year to get my first £40 from OnePoll. In that time, the surveys gradually got longer whilst the rewards stayed the same. Also, the ratio of paid surveys to prize draw entry surveys massively decreased. I stuck with it because I was already a good part of the way to £40, but IMO OnePoll isn't worth doing any more.

Agree- I am wondering though if it is worth it for a new user rather then having cashed out once: I'm wondering if its worth doing if you are a new member but not if your an old one.

Did anyone else get a product test from MySurvey recently on dishwasher tablets? I could have sworn that the letter with it said that the reward would be 400 points, but they've only given me 70 for the follow-up survey. I've contacted them but they've replied this morning to say that's all I'm getting. Anybody still got the letter (think mine might have already been recycled)?

I requested mine around that time too - it hasn't arrived. Neither have any of my other survey payouts that are coming via paypal - I've got about £85 due. It is really annoying when you want the money in your paypal account to buy presents online!

Saying that, I received my Love2Shop vouchers from Toluna in just under 6 weeks which must be a record for them!

I always think that if Crowdology can pay out via paypal almost instantly why can't the others?

Opinion World is one of the the best I think. I withdraw £10 via paypal instantly every two or three weeks. Great site with lots of surveys.

Just wondering if people have any tips for getting more paying surveys out of Opinion World, because I've seen a few people recommending them but I find the vast majority of the surveys they offer me only give prize draw entries.
