Good job I am quite patient! I thought the surveys were only 50p a go from what someone else had told me?

to luna is actually only £5 amazon for 30,000 its never been £10 for 40000 points.

home of research do some specialist surveys too, I dont one for an hour for £30 so £12.50 isnt that great in comparisson

I used to do ciao surveys, but like others have said, they ask a bundle of questions and then say I am not eligible for the survey

I got seriously p*ssed off about this and emailed them. Never got a response but I do find now that I mainly get surveys I am actually eligible to enter...

True, but I get far more surveys (and so far more vouchers) from To Luna than all the others put together.

Anyone had any experience of Knots Club? I filled in the joining survey a year or so ago but, whenever I return to the site and log in, I get another message that I must fill in the joining survey, and so I end up right back where I started (even though the survey still retains my answers from the last time I filled it in). They don't reply to any emails.

Theres a bigger thread on this- here is a link

I have my favorits- I am sure others have theirs too.

Top 5:
Valued Opinions www.valuedopinions.co.uk Payment is good, surveys are not too long, they even reply to questions for help- all be it after a few dayts/a
week.
One Poll www.onepoll.com very easy to use, very fast to do, low payment but not really an issue for me, as I find they have the more easy and fun to do surveys.
My Survey www.mysurvey.com fast surveys, easy surveys, payment in retail vouchers or nectar points
Global Test Market www.globaltestmarket.com takes a while to get there but surveys are fair and there is no expiry date for the points you earn
Lightspeed: www.uklightspeed.com pay in points, which can be redeemed for Amazon vouchers among other things. Not getting many surveys from these but when I do they are good to instantly credit your account upon completion and answer questions/send out vouchers fast.

Worst 5
Ciao- contant 10 p surveys they don't even pay you for- the surveys are slow, dull and the fact you don't get 10p for your efforts is very disrespectful of your time.
ToLuna- whilst I do think they are genuine, they are slow to pay, slow to reply to your questions for help and the surveys are very long.
Opinion People- I left these a while ago- waste of my life, never ever got a pay out from them- they just entered me into a "sweepstakes". For 5 years. Yes, I do feel stupid for not leaving sooner.
In Your Opinion- seem not to have any surveys- makes me wonder what they are doing with my details. I left them, I still get their junk mail. I have now tried to leave several times over and banned them from my email list.
Harris Poll or HI Points- rarely found a survey I liked, and even then, the payment for any surveys is low- and the surveys are dull and for some unknown reason, you get asked the same screening questions sometimes 3 times at random points in the survey: are you male/female, age, date of birth (as well), country your in, are you a risk taker or security seeker....it gets so repetative- there are like 10-15 repeated questions EVERY TIME!

Mya favorite though are the product trial sites, I don't bother with Litmus test as they make promises and then let you down. Clix is not so bad but over subscribed. Boots and Tescos are great- love what they send me and find them interesting.

Ive just found a great survey site its Australian but they are accepting people from the UK the surveys are great,you have to go direct to the site rather than wait for an invitation email..they actually pay you even if you get screened out of the survey you are taking surveys are between 5-20 mins you can choose how much time you want to invest in taking them they pay from £0.10 if you've been screened out I only joined a week ago and havea balance of £9.00 already:D they pay via paypal when you reach £10..can post the link because im new:(
