QNA is great, but only for people who work in IT. They pay normally within a few hours of completing a survey, and they pay £5 or £10 in an Amazon voucher. If you are interested send me a PM and I can send you a link to join (not sure if Iam allowed to post it on here).

Thanks for the invite, but i don't work in IT, so it's not for me

Everyone says pinecone is great but they've never contacted me. I signed up and added them to my included email list etc, but never heard anything from them and its been at least a month. Not great really.

I only signed up on to lightspeed on Friday but already have enough points for a £10 voucher, so that's good!

I have enough on Valued Opinions once it's all cleared (I've had 2 £3 surveys recently!) for another £10 voucher!

Not sure about the one that sends you £50 cheques...Haven't heard from them yet!

Anyone else doing quite well with them recently?

Just in case anybody is near the £5 threshold for amazon vouchers on Juicybrains like I was, I have just logged in and if you update any of your details you get paid 25p so it might just be enough to get your vouchers. I had £4.75 so to update got me my £5. I applied for an amazon voucher and by the time I had logged into my emails it was already there!!!! Sorry if this has been mentioned before but thought it might help somebody.

If there are any MSE'rs that work in Education in any capacity that would like to join a panel and earn Amazon vouchers send me a PM with your email address

I use Cashbackpages and had no problems with them.

Don't worry- the surveys take a while to arrive. I waited a whiule before I got any, then it was 1 or 2 a week! though they stopped suddenly after they asked everyone top send back the vouchers (apparently they sent everyone vouchers twice). I had already spent mine by the time they emailed me so couldn't send anything back! though I had been blacklisted, as I had no contact from them for about a month and then I get a survey this week!

Just to add though- pinecone surveys come in pairs: the first is the screening and pays nothing, it only lasts a few mins, the second is the product survey and lasts longer. You get the product survey if you qualify through the screening (have never been told either way if I have qualified btw) and after the product survey you get sent the £4 in Luncheon vouchers (unless you ask them for paypal vouchers in advance.)

Hope that helps! hang in in there for a survey, its like buses, there are none for ages then they all come along at once!

I'm livid :mad:

I couldn't access my Ipsos account so emailed them to ask why.
I just got an email back which said:

These incongruencies have adversely affected the accuracy and applicability of our survey results.

I don't lie on these surveys so i have no idea what they are on about.
Whats annoyed me even more is that i had over £20 in my account which i can't have because they've cancelled the account. I went onto & accessed my account only a few weeks ago. They just cancelled it without so much as an email to tell me.
I have emailed them back but i doubt its going to do me any good.

£20 is a lot of money imo & had taken me a while to build that £20 up as they never used to send me many surveys.
I just can't believe they've closed my account & taken over £20 off of me. They are clearly saying that i've lied but i haven't lie in their surveys.

That is so bad. I always cash out as soon as I have enough points for a voucher as all your hard work means nothing until you actually have a voucher in your hand (or email inbox).
