    It took me ages to build up a decent points total on Maximiles, and then I saw nothing I wanted.
    Then why not get a voucher, surely you can find something you want in one of the many retailers included, between store specific vouchers and the high street (love2shop) vouchers.

    I've got to laugh at a survey I've just been offered from Toluna.

    Subject - Cars
    Estimated time to complete - 50 minutes
    Reward - 2500 points (worth ~46p)

    50 minute survey to earn 46p, thanks but no thanks Toluna.

    Even worse one i had with toluna , i think 60 minutes for 2400 points :(

    Best sites for me is definitely Valued Opinions and Ipsos.

    Recently joined pinecone, nice payout and quickly recieved vouchers.

    Pinecone is good, I get 2 surveys a month of which the payment comes via paypal within a couple days of the survey closing.

    As soon as my current vouchers from Toluna arrive, I'm going to ditch it, far to many "quota full" errors half-way though the survey on key-questions which should have been asked at the start.
  • I started doing surveys with a few companies 6 months ago and in this time i have earnt well over 400 GBP. Some in bank payments, some into paypal, vouchers and some in cheques. I log into companies like vivatic every day and also opinionoutpost. Others every other day. I have had quite a lot of food and health and beauty products to try which seem to pay out quite well. The only company i have had no pay out from is nielsen even though i seem to do loads for them.
  • i should also say i looked at survey police to see what other people thought of various companies.

    Must admit I must have missed seeing the high street vouchers with Maximiles.. I usually go for Am*zon vouchers tbh.

    Anyway, happy with my knife sharpener that I got so quickly from Maximiles.

    £400 in 6 months is a very good total, TreesP, plus useful samples too, well done you.

    When you consider that the OP of this thread said they got a total of £30 in 5 years... looks as if you've cracked it! :D

    Anyone got any experience with

    Populus Live and NewVista? Thinking to join them, i know payout threshold is high but how quick can you do it in?

    Also anyone with American Consumer Online?
