are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

Goodness knows when I'll reach the points total but I've had samples of "stuff" to test through Toluna fairly regularly - one just today in fact.
Also they do tend to be full size samples - I won't name them but one test panel I use sends samples for just three uses on average.

Pinecone is the only one that has worked for me so far

What do you mean by 'worked'?

Like with most things, it's relative...

Sure, Pinecone is great. You get paid a handsome £3 per survey (more if you're an 'older' member ). If you do them when you want and don't give anything you don't want to sure they're worth it. A few extra pennies.
If you do a long-winded survey lasting 40 mins+ for a prize draw entry.... nah, probably not.

True, I think people get too hung up with Pinecone and thinking they're the ultimate just cos of their past reputation. Been with them about a year and make 2-3 times more with nearly every other survey site I'm signed up with. Yes they are one of the most consistent per survey payers, but over the course of a year they are one of my lowest payers.

Lets see how it goes compared to other sites. However, how is the rewards paid? I heard by paypal which i don't have or vouchers. What kind of vouchers?

Credit where credit is due.

It took me ages to build up a decent points total on Maximiles, and then I saw nothing I wanted. However, finally I had enough points for a knife sharpener that looked - and is - useful. (RRP c. £15)

I applied for it last Saturday and resigned myself to a long wait of 4-6 weeks.

It arrived on Wednesday - it was sent from Amazon, and by second - class post. First class service from Maximiles, then.
