are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

I would say that Pinecone is the only one I think is worth doing. They tend not to be very long, they send out the £4 luncheon vouchers quickly (I quite like having them, I'm not going over to Paypal lol) and I've even had a couple of products to assess.
GFK TV is ok and I've won a few things with them but it does take longer to do it.

I get the luncheon vouchers too, I don't like the fact that Paypal take a cut unless you build your account up to a certain amount. We find the vouchers soon mount up and many places take them and they get sent out quickly.

i see that the money that you get for the survey take a while to be added to your account

Paypal don't take commission of survey rewards. Lightspeed users will be able to attest to this.

If you want to transfer the cash in your Paypal account to a bank account I'm pretty sure they take a cut if its below £50.00. It's not much of a cut though.

Yeah, it can take up to 28 days and it often does take this amount of time! Rather annoying. That's why I get Amazon vouchers as they arrive very quickly, less waiting!

Same here I get Amazon vouchers pretty much instant.

I normally ask for Tesco Vouchers. They arrive as a gift card - usually take two to three weeks to arrive.

Also I am very annoyed at Juicy Brains; I never even got an e-mail saying they were shutting down. How bizarre. Luckily I don't have much in my account but it is still my money and I would like to have it!

I had £3.50 in my account and when I heard they were shutting down I wrote and said how disappointed I was that I would be losing the £3.50. They very kindly said they would up it to £5 so that I could claim an Amazon voucher. How kind was that? :j
