Opinion World?

I keep getting email to do surveys but there just all for entries to a prize draw? What is with this? do they actually do the surveys for £3 like they say they do or should i unsubscribe?

Any help would be great, thanks

    They do have surveys for money, but they are very few and far between. On the rare occassion I do get the invites I have always been screened out, surprise surprise. I always say that I'll unsubscribe but I keep giving them a second chance.
  • don't seem to be worth it - I just keep getting the "donation to charity and chance to win on a scratch card ones"

    i've done a few of their paid surveys, and yes they do pay out. i once did one for £60.00 and got paid. it does take a little while for payment to come through.

    Thanks for this people, I've been wondering for a few months now as I'm so doubtful about them, I shall give them the old heave ho in a mo.

    Thanks again for helping me decide.

    I dont like the fact tht there are only a limited choice of charities. Shame - I dont mind giving to charity, but there should be a choice of say an animal welfare charity.

    As others have said, the paid surveys are very few and far between and when they come through, 9/10 times I get refused - shock horror!!

    However, I have earned about £3 from them over the past 6 years:rolleyes:

  • never got paying surveys and when I did, I didn't qualify and was put through to win a prize etc:confused:deleted my account as there's other free sites that do pay.
    One will have fun with this one if they enjoy donating to charity:rolleyes:
