  • Another vote for topcashback from me too. Failed to track a couple of times but only a few pounds each time. I have got over £300 in 1 year. Never buy anything online without checking there first.

    Valued Opinions: Whats happened here? I used to get surveys almost everyday ever since it started years ago. However last few months aint had a single survey and i checked out the site today. Seems to have a different design. Have they started sending out less surveys to every1 else also? Am going to email them

    I get them about every 2-3 days :)

    yes it is, and very good one as well, don't know why people haven't voted it as the best.

    and regarding the coca cola survey, i doubt that i'll get the points for it. it said at the beginning that u need to order for atleast 6 out of 8 weeks. well, 5 have passed, just 3 more left, and i guess we'll find out soon. good luck guys, hope fully we get it.

    How often do you get surveys? I haven't had one yet! :)

    Has anyone had cashback from WePromiseTo, NopainNogain are your missing payments marked "Payment Due" or "Validated", WePromseTo should be ok as I think they are part of Greasypalm who have been around ages, i've got over £100 sitting with them so hoping they will pay.

    Use Topcashback. Had a nightmare with Quidco in regards payments. Phones4U comes to mind!

    I always use rpoints - I've never had a cashback not pay out (unlike quidco) and they are quick to reply to any queries (again, unlike quidco).

    Their cashback payments can be lower than other sites, but they have a cashback matching promise, so if you can find the deal elsewhere at a higher cashback, you just make a claim and they match it (but you have to do it quickly as you have to provide a link to show that was the offer on the day you made the purchase)

    I have used their cashback match several times with speedy results every time.

    On the other hand, I am STILL waiting for cashback to be paid by Quidco on a CIS Insurance that I took out in March, despite it showing up on my account in July.

    I'm with quite a few (too many to count) and some are worth it, some aren't.

    These are my top favourites (in no particular order):-

    Pinecone Research - £4 for every completed survey
    MyTNS - Nectar points
    Lightspeed Research - Points which you can turn into paypal, money or gifts
    Ipsos - Points turned into vouchers
    OnePoll - varied from 5p to 20p for answering a few questions, very quick
    Valued Opinions - Points turn into voucher
    Harris Poll - Points turn into gifts or Paypal (in euros :confused: )
    American Consumer Online - normally pay £2 per survey and sometimes test things


    The ones I think are a waste of time are:-

    Hotspex - takes forever to get any points
    Surveyspot - normally you get an entry into their sweepstakes, and play their scratch card game, nothing more (used to pay cash)
    Ciao - 10p for a 20 minute survey is pants (they used to be good, boo!!)
    Consumer Research Online - Been with them since Jan and not a single peep out of them.


    I am with some others but they're not really worth mentioning :D .

    How many surveys do you get? £30 for 5 years seems really bad to me. Have you completely filled out your profiles? Worth checking.

    I'm sure some more surveys will come your way. ;)

    I'm a member of a specialist survey site called Opinion Points, similar to the above though points credited are a better amount, which i can then exchange into BMI Diamond Club Destinations Miles (BMI Airmiles basically), there are hundreds of other retailers that accept the points too, i just choose to save for a holiday indirectly

    Quidco has not paid out on my insurance either - Zurich, and are not good at updates or replies either.
  • Have used Quidco for over 1.5 years and got regular monthly payments. Have had to submit about 3 queries which got resolved and cashback paid. Started using TopCashBack recently.
