i'm only with toluna and it seems to be taking forever to collect any rewards. i have been doing it for 8months at least 3 times a week and i' have 53000 points. i need 65000 points to claim a £10 voucher, i will admit i wander wiether its worth my time.

I don't personally think toluna are worth tht much bother- definatly nt worth the trouble unless you really have too much time on your hnds, having had points knocked off several times- I have just 'lost' 35000 points in one week, -no explaination, no reply to email/s and nothing to show for it- even on my points history... and they take months to pay up- still can't understand why it takes 2 months to email me an e-voucher for £10 of amazon vouchers, what are they doing, hnd making them?

I would recommend onepoll, lightspeed, globaltestmarket and dooyou for decent rewards. Pinecone are ok, but they are few and far between, and there wa a fiasco last week where they accidentally paid us double, and then emailed to ask us to all send back the vouchers- to Belgium! I don't think many people did, bu since then, we are still awaiting a delayed payment if there is one. Their mistake, we pay for it, hmmmmm....:mad: they do pay well, £4 a survey are the best of the lot. Lightspeed pay £1 a survey and when you ask for payment, it comes to you via email within 48 hours, sometimes within 24 hourts, sometimes much sooner. Onepoll onlypay like 10p a urvey but theirs are very short and sweet and I actually don't mind doing thier surveys at all, theres no uploading of stuff, no "can you hear the dog bark" no "watch this advertisement...3 times" and the questions are actually more interesting (for me anyway).

Hope that helps!

I don't bother with ciao, toluna, ipoints or zoom as they are either unreliable (you do the survey, they 'forget' to pay you) or they are poorly paid and therefore a waste of time. Or both!

Hope that helps!

GlobalTestMarket send me about 10 emails a week for sureys that i rarely qualify for. I didn't even remember signing up for them, and i always get ValuedOpinions which i junked thinking it was spam :O

I'm so annoyed, everytime i get emailed a survey link i spend time answering questions, i.e 5 - 10 mins and only then does it say i'm not eligible. This really takes the pee they shouldn't give so many questions before they qualify you. I've just done a survey foir Ciao and was about 30% of the way through it when it kicked me out for not being eligible grrrrrrrrrrrr

Ciao are a joke. 10p for 40min surveys. Yeah right lol I am going to even bother am I!

Well i wrote to complain...

And received this automated response:

Maybe i'm just complaining over nothing, i'm fully aware of the need for screening and that certain groups need to be qualified before they can take the survey, but i'm annoyed that it's been everytime, and i also note that i do admin for a marketing company, if i ever say i work in marketing i'm disqualified from any survey, so i have to bend the truth on my occupation.

I love Juicy Brains, Pinecone and Yougov, although i find it hard to get surveys for juicy....

Totally am with you on ciao- they are so rubbish its beyond a joke- you wonder if they sit in thier offices taking bets on how many people they can rope in to do an unpaid survey- there has to be some reason for it- either that or they are unable to understand the meaning of a paid survey.

I once did an entire survey before being asked, right at the end and after 20 minutes of the survey (involving medication and reading through adverts) to be asked if I was a male or female, I answered only to be told, nope, sorry, you don't qualify! That was the last straw for me. And Anita does not exist. I think it must be an abreviation for something, the 'n' standing for "non-existant"!

Have never ever been able to do juicy, they always screen me out!

Hi DL. You should provide your correct details otherwise how will you get your rewards & vouchers

It does get addictive though and once you find who the payer are you will know which ones to ignore. I have just been on Amazon spending my free money from lightspeed who I have had a survey off every single day this week without fail. I also came home to vouchers from consumer pulse & had an email from shop&scan for credit notification. You gotta love free money from the comfort of your home

Thanks Woody
Can anyone send me an invitation to join pinecone please?
