    Hi everyone, I would also love to join Pinecone if there are any kind people out there with an invitation or referral.

    Kindest Regards

    I don't consider being polite as grovelling, it was just the way I was raised, it's just a shame it doesn't ring true with everyone.

    I joined up with Pure Profile, and the first few weeks were good, then after a month its slowly pittered out to nothing for the last 3 weeks. ive got £7.50 on my account and cant cash till i reach £25 which im really !!!!ed about. My profile took about 45 mins to complete. you get paid between 10p to £3 a survey depending on how long it will take to complete. I wouldnt recommend them.

    ONES TO JOIN! VALUED OPINIONS - Have made a lot of money from them, their surveys are frequent (sometimes you don't fit the criteria and get booted, but that happens with them all), and they send out products to test quite often. PINECONE - are wicked too. I have done so many surveys for them, and at the moment, I am getting at least one a week. IPSOS - Not been with them for that long, about 7 months I think, and in that time, I have made almost £100. How good is that? Only downside with them is that I got picked to do a POSTAL survey and a PHONE survey, but never actually got anything through the post or even a phone call. BZZAGENT - They are quite good. Currently doing the Activia thing. Got coupons so I could get free yoghurt, and lots of other Money Off Coupons. CONSUMER PULSE - This one is great. You log on everytime you purchase a beauty product, pay a phone bill, buy clothes and put the barcode, price and where you got it from, and they give you 50p for each one. Maximum of 20 per month, and you get a 50p bonus each week, and between 50p to 100p for doing surveys that turn up every now and again. So in total, that is at least £12 a month. I don't think they are taking people on at the moment. ONEPOLL - They are good too. You log in when you get time, do easy surveys and make money. I have made £50 from them since last November. GLOBALTESTMARKET - Get at least 2 surveys a day. Have cashed in my 1000 points, which is the equivalent of about £20. Let's see if that turns up. ONES TO AVOID! YOUGOV - One survey per month, 50p for it, and you have to accrue £50 worth. I don't think so! PUREPROFILE - Was with them for like 6 months, and never got a single survey off them. TOLUNA - Biggest waste of time ever. JUICYBRAIN - Get booted out of every single survey they send me. Not worth the time of day.

    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

  • By the way, how does all this work from a tax point of view?

    I have been really lucky with the surveys, my dh and I belong to loads of sites and I have stopped doing the ones that don't pay out much or are really infrequent such as Ciao (used to be excellent but rubbish now).

    I find that some of the sites you won't get a survey for ages then a few at once but since I have a lot it doesn't make any difference.

    I've must have earned between £200-£300 in vouchers or cash over the last 18months so as long as you're patient then it's well worth it.
