lol thank Jennie and tinman. Seems he must've been off his head or something lol. £31 pounds on Onepoll for what 1-2 hours total work? Not bad eh.
What other poll sites should I join (That pay out on paypal)?

Lol- your lucky if it only took you 1-2 hours- in terms of logging on daily, and not seeing surveys, or doing prize draw only surveys (which I never win but enter as I like doing surveys- sad that I am!) I would say it took me a great deal longer then 1-2 hours!

Other survey sites are good, but follow along in the same theme- you do alot ad get nothing back for the majority of cases, and then see dribbles here and there. Eventually it builds up, but your looking at it doing so ever so slowly- survey doing is not so much in-it-for-the-money but in-it for a laugh and because there is nothing else I can do right now!! (unless I have been majorly unlucky and others are winning all the prize draws and walking away with payouts every week!)

One good one to join is yougov, but it will take a long time to reach pay out- your looking at year/s, lightspeed, globaltestmarket and valued opinions are similar, good but your not looking at 1-2 hours of work! many months more like!! (but not all at once).

I tend to not bother with the others aside from those above, exept for actual testing sites like the Boots testing site and Ayton Research who wont ever pay you, but will give you decent sized freebies to test for them!

Hi :wave:

I sorted out my consumer pulse two voucher thing

Consumer pulse said i had to send my voucher back to them that they'd given me by accident. Thing was ....i'd cashed it in but not spent it. I emailed amazon, with my gift voucher code, asking if it was possible to unredeem this voucher. Within one hour i had a reply from a man called Praveen Kumar and he unredeemed it for me :kisses3: :T

Many thanks to Amazon :A

I have now posted the voucher back off, and everthing should be ok now :j

Your very honest! I think you really went out of your way to correct things and I hope it pays off for you!

For the first time for months I have just received a paid survey from OW - a whole £1 for 25 mins! Answered about 10 questions & was then screened out - grr.
Gave up on the "charity" ones ages ago as just felt I was wasting my time.
Is anyone still getting paid ones that are worth doing?

I've been on YouGov since 3rd July 2007 and i've only got £26 in my account - despite doing every paid survey i've ever been sent, and most of the prize draw surveys (as i thought doing them would increase my chances of receiving paid surveys.

This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to wait til £50 to cash out. The limit is far too high IMO.

I joined them in about July 2008 and I'm on £14.75. I keep a record of all the surveys I am on and monitor them and yup, yougov are very slow- but atleast I have been getting about a survey a month. My friend has just under the £50 mark and has had no surveys for about 3 months now! Crafty or coincedental? you decide! But on reading back others reports, they do pay up in the end and as they rarely 'bother' me with surveys I don't get anything for (unless you count the prize draws which I enter every one as I check every day) I am reluctant to give them up, but don't get your hopes up with payment being any time soon- they seem to get £10 to £15 a year for your account!

Can anyone else help/prove me (and my friends) wrong? do they pay more then £15 a year?
(am hoping people will so I can see a possibility I wont be waiting another 2 and a half years before cash-out!)

Maybe our profiles aren't very useful for most of their clients?

I usually get sent the brand index surveys. One time i got sent a survey that said "are you a nurse?" i said no and it said "Congratulations, your account has been credited with £1" - LOL i wish i got more of those.
