The definitive list of the best & worst of Paid Surveys

tysfoot

I just thought id like to start a thread so anyone on here can put there best and worst websites for paid surveys and if you can write what you like or dis-like about it

It just gives people a chance to look for the best and worst sites without looking though hundreds of posts

Feel free to add to the thread

Here is my best
Ive been doing paid surveys for a few weeks on www.onepoll.com, ive not used any more as i like the layout and ease of use of this website, currently ive made £25 in 3 weeks and there is a £2.50 bonus on signup, you can transfer your money to any bank account when you rach £40

Thanks Tysfoot for that thread.

I am using onepoll as well-easy to use, regular surveys, they pay little per each survey but they are very short and there quite a few of them per day.

I also registered with valued opinions and mysurvey but never got anything...

I also use onepoll but have been doing it for a lot longer than 3 weeks and I'm only on £17 atm!

I also use valued opinions which i think pay the best out of all survey sites, mysurvey (tns) for the nectar points, ciao, lightspeed, yougov (hardly any surveys) and a couple of others which aren't as good.

I would say they earn me about £5 a week, mainly in amazon vouchers

I use globaltestmaket.

Couldn't say how long it takes me to get amount to send away but I think I've been doing it about 3 years (and this is on and off) and have just received my 3rd check for just over £70! Certainly adds up over time.

I agree, onepoll are great. Only need around £1 for my third £40 cheque. Also had a few wins in their prize draws.
Global Test Market also recommended, especially with the current exchange rate.
Home of Research also worth a look especially if you are invited to one of their small group sessions.
It's Your View used to be good, not getting many surveys at present.
Lightspeed - I don't receive many surveys.
Toluna - You wait ages for points to be added, then ages for voucher to arrive.
Valued Opinions is one of my favourites. Receive regular vouchers for completing their surveys.
YouGov are OK if you are patient enough to wait for the £50 pay out.
Don't bother with Caio.

ive just signed up to Valued Opinions, how many serveys do you typically a day/week and how much do they typically pay

P!necone - absolutely the best. Pay in luncheon vouchers or by PayPal. They post recruitment banners on certain websites, but this is infrequent. (And they hate having their sign-up links posted in public forums)

Lightspeed - not bad, surveys can be a bit repetitive though. You trade in points for rewards. This can be PayPal, vouchers or gifts.

Ciao - 20 minute survey for a miserable 10p? *#@! off (pardon my French )

Valued Opinions - interesting surveys, but have a habit of kicking you out half way through the survey as "the quota for this age group/gender/area of the country" has already been filled.

YouGov - good surveys, but they arrive infrequently. Have to reach £50 to payout, which, at my going rate, may take a few years.

There are others, but these are the only ones I have any experience of.

Totally agree with Ciao...what a waste!

With ciao, after you do a few 10p ones, you start getting 50p, £1 and £2 ones through, and i've never had trouble with payments. It's easy to earn money with them if you stick with them.

With me as soon as i withdraw my £5 from them I get £1and £2 surveys. Then as soon as i have money in my account they drop the surveys to 10p and 20p. They know im not going to leave £2-3 sitting there. Its a cheap, dirty trick. I'm only doing them cos i can seem to get into pinecone.

Anyone want to do a scientifically calculated experiment with me to find out which survey sites really are the best. It would be fairly simple where you take the next ten surveys you recieve from website X, work out average of £/hr work, how many times they disconnected you, how long through the survey was it etc. I would do it all myself, but im not a member of that many sites.And a larger test base would work better. PM if your interested.
