    Harrispoll are soooooo slooooooooooooooooow at reaching a reward tier!!
    I've just been able to order an Amazon £10 e-voucher after taking over ten months of surveys!!!!

    I think they will get the elbow soon!

    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.

    :T At last!!! Got the long awaited last survey to take me over the threshold.

    Have cashed in and hope it doesn't go the same place my YouGov payment went.

    I've been at £39.95 on OnePoll for 4 weeks now. Mysteriously, when I started the survey that took me to that, there were two other 15p surveys waiting to be completed, but when I finished it, they'd disappeared....

    Surveys disappear when they're full, it occasionally happens. There's no conspiracy theory.

    I've just reached payment for another £40 with OnePoll.

    I open each survey in a new tab, more chance of getting onto them that way :)

    I decided to fill in a mysurvey 20 minute survey the other night, and the whole way through I was thinking it's gonna screen me out when I'm on the last question lol. This actually made me rush the survey and not really think about my answers too much (I:E when they ask you to name as many brands of something you can think of etc). Surely they're not doing themselves any favours by making people rush them and giving them a false representation of the information they are collecting? When it got to the 'any more comments to add' at the end, I mentioned this and told them I had felt rushed doing the survey so hadn't really thought about my answers as much as they probably expect you to.

    Would have been ironic if I had been screened out because I took a bit longer filling in the box telling them that ;) haha!

    Harris Poll are so slow in paying out!! I've been waiting much longer than the 5-7 days they say is their turn around time!! They will get the elbow soon!!!!

    I only seem to get 30 points most times as I get screened out!! Waste of time!!!
  • fill out entire harris survey and get screened out rubbish. Toluna as well are on my **** list for robbing you.

  • I`m on quite a few(!) survey panels and usually know what I am due from each. Yesterday though I received an Amazon e-voucher from Femke InSites Consulting for £24. Has anyone ever heard of them?

    I know sometimes when a cheque arrives in payment it is from the overall group so you don`t necessarily recognise the name of the company, but it`s also a bit of an odd amount - not the usual £10, £20, £25.

    Just thought I`d ask in the hope that someone else knows - I have already googled them and while I can find them, there`s no obvious connection with any company I know of. If no-one knows, I`ll try emailing them, but don`t want them to say I`ve had it by mistake and can I give it back!!!!!!!
