I requested a payout 3rd of March and am still waiting. Chased it yesterday, I'll repost when I get a reply.

Following a couple of "we've already paid you, and if not it'll be by next Monday" form emails, I emailed asking for a Paypal payment reference so I could chase it with PP. I received the GratisPoints payment a couple of hours later. Have to say it's made me slightly hesitant to carry on doing their surveys.

My Amazon e-voucher from Gratis Points arrived today, having been requested on 5th April. It was for $23 (2.300 Gratis Points), and that came to £15.11.

Mine too - it was a while since I cashed out and I thought it was more than that, although at least it was quick and I also received my voucher within 10 days

Hello ladies and gents, would anyone be able to refer me to Pinecone? I would be very grateful. I have done Toluna and VO some years ago and became so disheartened with them, I stopped. I currently just do the Nectar surveys, but have longed for a Pinecone invite for ages. Many thanks for any kind soul who would be happy to pm me about this.

They rarely allow referrals, however, there is a sign up link from here:

Pinecone are far from the sacred cow they used to be (or have a reputation to be) so don't be too worried if you don't get in. I'd suggest MySurvey and/or Ipsos ahead of Pinecone

Yes each site varies from person to person. I used to find Ipsos to be good in intial months but these days its very poor. i complete surveys, don't get credited. A lot of time i get the 10 mins rule to come back in and it does not work even after 24 hours.

Hit and Miss really.

This thread is really interesting to read! It's funny how the survey companies are quite varied for different people.

I've joined all the ones I could find and the only two I get regular surveys from are mysurvey and globaltestmarket ... I have gotten a few surveys from yougov, populus, whsmith surveys, onepoll, surveyfriends but there are loads that I haven't even had one survey with since joining that others have said are quite good like valued opinions and pinecone etc

I find that with a number of the better paying sites that you have to be very quick to complete otherwise they have met their quota.

Have you ensured your profiles have been completed/updated - this can help. But as said before, you just have to fit the profile they want for that particular survey.

Has anyone heard of 'mingle' http://mingle.respondi.com/welcometomingle_emotion_product_all.php?chosen_site=3&rc=MTMxOQ%3D%3D
Are they worth signing up with?

Yes, I'm a member. I don't get a massive number of surveys, but they're legit and do pay.
