Come back in a month, if you've still had none THEN I'll agree it's a bit strange, a week is nothing.

And on that subject, anyone here on Opinion World been getting paid surveys the last few months? I've had nothing prize draw entry surveys for several months now and it used to be one of my biggest payers

I get occasional surveys from them, always paid, but not very often

Opinion World - yes i always just get donation offers.

Not got very far in terms of points.

Jan/Feb has been a very SLOW survey month from all my survey sites.

Not qualifying for many of the Global Test Market ones....very fustrating.....its been about 20 odd surveys now. Maybe one a week i qualify for. Screened out of loads.

Valued Opnions - screened out a lot or quota full very quickly. Or it says survey started on my profile when i have got to the end of the survey and completed it so i dont get the money

Nothing from pinecone except household survey.

Toluna - screen out of loads.


Jan/Fb very poor compared to december where i got loads

I'm just short of a Toluna £15 payout and have been for weeks - I have completed surveys in that time but they don't rush to credit you.. Valued Opinions has become ridiculous, constantly screened out as 'quota full' despite clicking on email invites instantly - or worse still, getting 10 minutes in and then screened out. At least Global Test Market offers some points as recompense for this.

in the last week i have joined

Yougov - dont think im going to carry on with this 1

valued opions - getting atleast 1 survey per day at the moment

pinecone research - joined but have not got any surveys yet

global test market - didnt get any for days then 3 all at once today

my survey - also didnt get any till today then recieved 6 all at once, only qualified for 2 or 3 though

ok if you have a hour a so to spare on them, some of the rewards dont seem worth it though for how long they take.

I'm actually finding Yougov pretty good now I've finally got around to completing my profiles, I'm almost up to £10 already and I've only been doing it for a few weeks

Having joined up to just the answer in september last year, i finally got to the £5 threshold to redeem Amazon.

When i went to redeem, it says


We're sorry, but the Amazon redemption system is offline for maintenance until the end of Monday, February 11th.

It is now 18th Feb. Very Poor survey site. Don't bother with them. You don't qualify for many surveys hence it takes months to get to £5. Avoid, I will be closing account after i redeem from them.

Agreed. Took me two years to reach five pound. Needless to say I closed my account straight after redemption.

I've finally hit the £15 redemption target for Toluna. Goodness knows how long it's taken, years, I think, I went all out from last October and have responded to just about everything they have sent me - I racked up some 45000 points in that time.
The points take so long to credit that I may be well on the way to my next £15 for all I know.
I've opted for an electronic voucher, let's see how long that takes to arrive! (Agree with Just the answer being rubbish, btw).
Springboard has taken a very long time to build up a total, still well short of the £25 minimum claim. 25p here, 50p there most months.
On the plus side, apart from GfK, this is the only survey site that I have won a prize draw with.

I've found them really good, got £90 worth Debenhams vouchers in less than a year. If they don't have surveys for me, I just do the sponsored questions or mini surveys that give you instant points. Vouchers have always arrived in time as well.

Much as I don't really like them - T0luna seem to be the best for me. It's exactly a year since I starting surveying and I've stuck with T0luna, Valued 0pinions and 0nePoll and so far it looks like this:

T0luna: received £225 amazon vouchers, £15 currently processing; about £10 worth of points pending at the moment

Valued 0pinions: received £70 M&S vouchers, £2.25 towards my next voucher and £1.50 points pending at the moment

0nePoll: £80 paypal received, currently at £39.10 towards my next pay-out.

So all in all I reckon it's worth it (it certainly went a hefty way towards Christmas presents). The one thing I wasn't expecting is the number of products I've been sent to trial, mainly savoury snacks but other things too. I still have to agree with other people that T0luna are the most frustrating company on the planet!
