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.

Took me 4 weeks as well, no issues with them though (other then taking several years to get to cash-out!)

Ah well good to know it should pay soon.

Getting very fed up with one poll.

Have been around the 35/36 pound mark since well before Christmas. Keeps telling me Im not what they are looking for.
Not sure whether to carry on once Ive reached payout.

Loving MySurvey though. Am relatively new to it but have twice been able to claim nectar points through them in a short time.

Not really looked into it but how do the amazon vouchers compare with nectar as that might come in handy for christmas?

I claimed £50.00 on 11th April and it was in bank account yesterday.First option I have had to do it this way as usually claimed as a cheque.

If you are looking for any new survey websites to join i would definitely recommend the following:

https://www.panelopinion.co.uk - this is my favourite survey website, it is simple but effective and I have won a lot of CASH on here...You can withdraw your money when you get to £10 and it doesn't take that long to build up a good amount.

https://www.valuedopinion.co.uk - this website is good because they frequently have new surveys, which means you can qualify for them more often.

https://www.toluna.com - same as valuedopinion

https://www.surveyfriends.co.uk - this website rewards you with vouchers and prizes, which seem VERY easy to win lol. During 2012 I have already won a £50 amazon voucher and a £10 ticketmaster voucher and my friend won a 40" HD TV just before xmas. I am recommending this website based on our recent and previous success

I have joined numerous other survey sites but have had the most success with the ones above, especially panelopinion!

Remember: Never pay to join any survey site - its often a scam

Hope this has been of some help, Good Luck

Marteebies, with Survey Friends, if you bet your points in a lottery and lose, doesn't that mean you lose all those points for no reward? I'm somewhat reluctant to bet points like this as there seems to be no indication of how many points are likely to secure a win. How many points do you generally bet?

Just to help, the link to Valued Opinions is https://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/ (the all important 's' !)

Hope your getting on OK with toluna, they were awful in my own experience, not paying, screening me out after I had completed the survey or 25 mins of a 30 min survey, vouchers took months and months to arrive... Just the biggest joke of the survey world for me and as a result I left a while ago, I'd say Valued Opinions is much more reliable and don't screen me out after doing the survey. Would say though for both their customer service side is seriously lacking.

I joined Toluna in the last few days and will be scrapping it.

Did a couple of rather long surveys and it automatically put me in for the prize draw option which I wouldnt have chosen.

Very long winded and repetetive surveys as well.

I have just done my first survey for pinecone. I joined a couple of months ago and have just done my first one. It was an interesting survey and only took about 10 minutes so I will see when I get paid!

I personally would recommend opinion world https://www.opinionworld.co.uk I get really regular surveys from them and the payout threshold is only 1000 points which is £10 and is very easy to get to. If you check your emails and on the site regularly I think you could be getting £10 a week relatively easily! If not in a week then definitely in a fortnight.

I'm on one poll too and I used to really like them but recently all their surveys seem to be for prize drawers and I keep being told that 'the survey isnt for me' so I'm at £12.50 and need to get to £40 before they pay out. At an average of 10p per survey I think that might take a while!!!

I do like certain survey sites though, they will never make you rich overnight but they can provide a nice bit of extra pocket money!

Is anyone a member of Survey Network? I joined recently as I read on a daily cashback site that it was good, but I find it's very confusing and the surveys seem to take me to other survey sites to join up instead of just asking about products and the like. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Glads opinion world worked for you: I was with them for about 3 years before working out that £10 really didn't make it worthwhile. I left because most if not all surveys paid in "sweepstakes" and the rest would screen me out, I don't know why I put up with it for so long- they used to send so many surveys, like 5-10 per day yet I rarely if ever got paid. If they work for you thats great but keep an eye on them, they did pay well initially (this was in 2001-2004) but shortly after I cashed that £10 out they didn't pay much if anything at all, I don't remember the exact amount left when I left them but I do remember thinking I was never going to get to the payment threshold and so left without claiming anything more.
