    Are youy talking about the TV survey GFK do? me neither, been doing it since April this year, am yet to even get 1x£5! people post on here that they have won 2, 3 plus times! I serioulsy believe in good and back luck after hearing that, if its down to chance then I am never going to win anything! for that reason I never enter competitions, I have now toned down how many surveys I do for the TV survey as a result.

    The GFK people also do surveys that pay in points, not in competitions and if you aren't a member, I really recommend you join up! Its 5 points plus per survey- even if you don't qualify and each point is equal to 5 U.S cents which they can and do transfer into ££. After 1000 you can ask for a cheque, and it arrives in £ rather then $. Its easy to follow and non intrusive, they just email you when a survey is there for you.
  • I signed up to lightspeed panel yesterday, and love them!
    Have done 3 surveys already and can put £3 into paypal already.
    I love how you can transfer a little at a time, unlike most where you have to wait until you have the value of £25.

    I can't believe anybody would rate the Valued Opinions con as worth bothering with. A total weasel site in my experience!
    - sends surveys that are entirely inappropriate (ie they ignore your profile)

    - zones you out more than 50% through (ie they get FREE opinions)

    - pitifully slow at recording completed surveys (ie says 4 weeks,more like 8!)

    - don't respond to e-mails, send pre-set responses that don't make sense

    - if you do reach the £10 threshold, the voucher you want is probably out
    of stock,

    - vouchers take 4 weeks to get to you anyway: if it ever does arrive.

    - by the time you realise the voucher has been lost in the post you have to spend another month trying to make them read your e-mail...

    I finally reached my £10 in July,but am still waiting for a voucher...which has been promised by recorded delivery!
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    They've always been great for me.
    I joined 3 months ago, already claimed and recieved a £10 amazon voucher, i have £9 in my account cleared, and i am still pending on another £11.
    They are the best for me.

    i used to get loads of surveys from valued opinions but now i only get about 1 every 2 weeks and usually get screen out near the end. Lightspeed keeps screening me out after I have answered loads of questions too. Global test market is good at sending surveys i usually get about 3 a day and only ever get screened out on the ones that are related to songpeople. toluna is a waste of time i have been waiting over 4 weeks for them to 'post' and e-voucher!

  • Hi, All MoneySavers! :rolleyes:

    I started with 'Wepromiseto' in MARCH 2008 - and my Balance is currently nearly £70.

    However, in 8 months, I've never had 1p in Cashback - and there's no sign of any coming either!!

    Has anyone ever received cashback from a Casback Site??? I think we should be told!

    Cool? or Con??
    :cool: :confused:

    Yes! I joined tobcashback early in the year and so far have clocked up over 70 quid, paid to my paypal account with no hassle.

    My best result?

    £20.00 for Halifax credit card. 0% for 1 year. transferred a small balance to pay off by end of year (interest free debt). Bought a BOGOF offer on it in a supermarket of about £4.00 to qualify as an "active purchaser" Then snippy-snippy!!! :money:
