    OnePoll's still going fine for me. I reached my first £40 in Nov 11 and my second in Apr 12.

    The one that's becoming a pain is GratisPoints. I've emailed them a couple of times about my login not being remembered, despite ticking 'Remember me' each time I have to log in.

    I got no reply, though the FAQ says "All queries will be answered within 3 business days" and, on the Rewards page, it says, "We value your feedback".

    Now I’ve not had a single survey for nearly three weeks, though I used to find at least one or two a day.

    And I received no email confirmation of my last reward, but I unexpectedly just found an entry on the Rewards page of the website with the Amazon code on it.

    Is GratisPoints still going?

    Well its took me long enough to get to this point and the end is in sight!!! :j

    I need 5p to reach £40 threshold on OnePoll

    Not sure whether to continue with it?

    Think its took me two years to reach second pay out.

    Well surprise surprise.............despite logging in at 3 different times of the day on One Poll there have been no surveys for me.

    Just one will do!!

    Very weird today - Ipsos access panel are showing Amazon.co.uk £10 (1380 points) e-vouchers as temporarily out-of-stock!!
    I thought I would try and order one AND it came through in a few minutes!! How odd!!!!!
    Ipsos Access Panels are fairly speedy in crediting points and paying out.

    temporarily out of stock



    Amazon Gift certificates can be redeemed on the Amazon.co.uk site


    1380 pointsElectronic Gift Certificate



    I've quit Toluna as they were a pain with screen-outs / slow points and slow payout.





    Valued Opinions sent me a few surveys recently and I had weird front page screen-out validation messages. (I think they may have been duplicates)

    Valued Opinions have a lot of technological issues i.m.o.
    Last week I was accepted for a product trial, filled in my details, then on the last page, after 25 minutes filling in, I got the info that I was screened out!
    What a joke...
    Still it wasn't THAT exciting a product, Ipsos & MySurveys have currently come up with better ones.

    I joined GratisPoints at the end of May, and to begin with I had some surveys that went OK. Now I'm having problems. The links for the last three or four surveys have simply taken me to the homepage of GraisPoints. I got in touch with Support, and their response after checking was that they could find 'no problem with same'. I had an email from them today asking if I was still having problems. Yes, I am. :(

    What was that survey for because I had one too and had to put my name, address, phone number etc and directly after that it came up this survey is now full. I am not going to do that again.
    Thanx
