are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

Ive had a few paid surveys for OW, they seem to be slow to pay and generally I end up chasing them for it a month or more later, but as I only bother with the handful of paid ones I can cope.
Pureprofile has a £2 survey on site at the moment, got myself almost half way to pay out again fairly quickly.
Having problems with lightspeed today, the site just seems to be constantly freezing luckily before I get in to a survey - but its happening on both FF and IE so not a browser specific problem (nor a computer one as I've tried on my lappy and household PC).

Had the same problem earlier but site is now OK although I didn't make it through the survey!

Just had an email from lightspeed, apparently they are doing up their site, so my guess is thats what all the freezing problems were about, the email was to annouce a brand new and better site, so am imagining the problems are either over....or about to get worse!!

Only one I've every really found good for me is Global test market. I tend to save up to 2000 odd points and get around £60 pounds for this! Waiting on my next cheque now, hopefully be about £70 this time! 3rd time sent off, might take long to save points but the amountyou get at the ends more than worth it. And you can easily give false answers for any surveys that wouldnt normally apply to you! hehe

be careful, according to terms and conditions, they can easily stop you getting any said cheques if you are not answering questions honestly.

About six months ago a did a one hour OW survey on finance, I was paid a whopping £60 for this, it did take about three months for the money to come through but it was worth it.

Same for me. Pretty boring survey but better than normal payment. Have already requested £3 Paypal payment. :j

I got no survey!! I want a 400 point survey!

Well done, hope you enjoy your points (currently 650 from cashing out)

Don't lie in surveys. How is that going to help? It might make you an extra 10p or something but if you expect good customer serv ice, I'd be a good customer.

I always tell the truth, even though I think I'd be much more well off if I was 40 and had oily skin

That means that when I do get a survey that appeals to my profile, I'll probably get halfway through to find its "maxxed out" on people who fitted the criteria because someones lied. It's not fair.
