    has anyone got a link to the new "beta website" I did try to e mail them a while ago to say that i hadn't received an invitation to the new site, they answered the email but not the question!!

    got this off the website
    "If you have yet to rejoin the new Home of Research, please email [EMAIL="points.enquiries@theidfactor.com?subject=INVITATION%20REQUEST"]points.enquiries@theidfactor.com[/EMAIL] with INVITATION REQUEST in the subject line. You will be sent an invitation with a unique hyperlink which will take you into the registration form and carry your current points balance into your new account."

  • Has anyone had a payout from the new site yet? I ordered a cheque back at the start of December, but still nothing.

    No payment from the new site yet. It's difficult to tell which surveys have been rewarded and points seem to be being added very slowly.

    Have contacted them twice with no reply.

    Hi!
    I know that this has not much to do with the topic of this thread but, I want to receive a payment from Home of Research but I don't know if I need to be registered as self-employed. Is everyone in here, that received a payment from them, registered as self-employed?

    Thank you!
    Goal: Win a car (or cash to buy one :))! -- Haha goal from when I was a student. Never actually won this but got a good job instead.

    What I achieved:
    Car paid in full straightaway.
    Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!

    I've had a cheque from them on the 16th January which I ordered on 19th November. Worth emailing them. I'm waiting for another cheque which I ordered at the beginning of January.
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89

    I suppose it depends on your circumstances and how much you are earning.

    Possibly someone will be along who can give more information.

    Good luck

    No you don't m8.

    My cheque took a few weeks to come but that was over Holiday period. It may be delayed due to work on the site and staff sickness (lot of that in January) and recent weather conditions.
    If you waited more than 8 weeks then get in touch - it usually then sent same day.

    I suggest that Inland Revenue would consider income (whether taken as cash or vouchers) made from surveys is earned & therefore should be declared to them. Don't know if the survey companies make annual returns of what they pay out and to whom. I suspect very few people who do surveys actually declare this income.

    If you are not in paid employment, it is unlikely that you will earn enough from surveys only, to be liable for any income tax.
