    I've noticed a decline too - used to get at least 1-2 a day from GTM now only get a couple a week. Probably get about the same from IPSOS.

    I don't do IPSOS, haven't had many surveys from Toluna, but just claimed a £10 Amazon voucher from them. It had taken ages for the points to build up. Had lots from Global Test Market and recently claimed a cheque from them. Not had any further surveys from GTM though in last 2/3 or more days.

    Have had loads of surveys, including a 1.5 hour focus group yesterday evening with Home of Research. Points there are nicely building up, also doing very well with Valued Opinions just now. Not had any further surveys from Pinecone since I had problems with the little programme we were asked to download.

    That about sums it up at this neck of the woods.

    Its Your View seems to be better than I give them credit for IMHO. The reason I don't sing their praises much is because they seem to hate firefox as a browser and it is such a mission sometimes having to go through IE just to access a survey that I ignore most of them BUT when I do bother, the reward is decent and the surveys short and not that tedious. They are most definitely my pick of the month.

    Lightspeed totally f'ed me off a couple of months ago by having glitches in their surveys that would let you get to 98% but be unable to submit to get your reward. What a scam. Wrote to Lauren and she wasn't too helpful so I just ignore their surveys now and spend my time on worthwhile and guaranteed sites like consumerpulse!

    Hi,
    just agreeing with you on the drop off in Ipsos surveys but not on GTM. I have been getting 5 or 6 a week and have managed to submit another payment request.

    Install the IE add-on for firefox, makes it easier to do the Its Your View surveys.

    Boy oh boy have I had major probs with Lightspeed..get an invite, login..NO survey. get an invite, login, and find I'm booted off after ticking the *i agree* box, get an invite, login, find survey, system freezes...write to *Lauren* who IMHO is NO help whatsoever - and I'm beginning to wonder if *Lauren* actually exists - the same standard unhelpful replies come back - oh...and the other niggle?? I get to the end of a survey (rarely) and find its not points I got - oh no - I've got 15 entries into their *prize draw* - whooppee doo for wasting 20 flippin' minutes....grrrrr....
