Apologies, I was mistaken. It's confusing as, if you go to Harris Interactive, they only link directly to Harris Poll Online and not HI-epanel. I've just registered for HI-epanel as well now. I have seen the name HI-epanel come up on some of the surveys I've done through Harris Poll Online, so god knows what the situation is with this company!

Forgot about this. I applied but never got an email. Will have to chase it up and see what happens.

I've not heard of this site before, are they new?

I know that with many survey sites they can take weeks (an in the case of toluna, even months) to credit your points but they all do normally respond to emails and complaints sent, you could start there?

I'd also try looking on the survey police site to see if they are listed and also googling to see if any other forums have anything mentioned about them. Maybe also send them a query and see how long it takes them to respond.

I'd say the points balance isn't your biggest worry, payment is a bigger concern, but your right to question them, with survey sites giving away personal details is generally what they are asking and of course this opens you up to ID fraud so make sure your fairly sure your not being scammed by looking into them a bit more closely.

They have VERY good write up only been signing up for ones with good reviews. I have been with a couple for about 3 years now but wanted to add a few more but can tell u I am finding a lot of one's that I am not sure about lol.

They have replied to me and told me that I needed to clear my cookies three times the same email lol. I have been credited the one from yesterday and now know to take note of the code on them so will just be careful. It have VERY low payout into paypal of 200 points for $1 so not much money but some surveys are 200 points to I have abotu 70p I can move to paypal now lol.

Can anyone suggest some decent ones for me?

I am with ipos GFK Yougov pinecone, survey head, pure profile, survey scavvy my survey, global test market, vivatic, opinion world, Hi panel, my voice, valued opinions, my survey and zoom panel, joined maximilies I think it's called and opinion people today lol

Oh and newvista but not continuing with them after I messed up a survey earlier didnt like the message I got. I think I missread a question and they were trying to catch me out. They were asking questions about the main earner in the house and then asked their age (I would swear on my familiy's lives) but it turned out they wanted my age again which I had already answered. Got a warning for inconsistency. Never messed up any other survey in just over 3 years so pants lol. xx

I'd say you've got all the main ones there, try the survey police who list most of the main ones and give ratings.

Thing is, I've come to realise with most survey sites, they don't make up the surveys they just act as a middle man and send on surveys they have been asked to send out. If you look carefully you'll sometimes see the same survey sent to you twice but by two different companies but...you only ever get to finish one (well, most of the time!) The surveys look for cookies on your computer and once they realise you've already done the survey, you are screened out.

By all means look for all the other reputable companies but bare in mind you want to be sticking to answering those that pay out well as its well known that for the exact same survey you can be credited what works out to 5p or alternatively what works out to £1.50. As far as you've listed, I don't think you will find any others that pay as highly as those, but by all means keep looking.

Think its taken me about four years to get there but I finally got enough YouGov points to claim £50

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes as I claimed on 10th April but hasnt shown in account yet.

Will keep on with them despite the length of time getting to target as I only really did it on a regular basis about six months ago.
