Ipsos and Lightspeed are my two fave. I've had a few Amazon vouchers from them. I was building up quite a lot of points with Harris Poll, but haven't had any surveys for over a month now. Just emails trying to get me to trade them for the prize draw.

I'm also with Opinion People, Mindmover and Opinion World, but they're the same as Harris. Get loads of surveys, at least one a week, get to around £12 worth of points, then nothing! And some, you need £25 worth of points to redeem.

I use Lightspeed, You Gov and Toluna.

I've been with Lightspeed for years, (3 years now) and I've had loads of Amazon vouchers - in fact it's quite rare that I have to pay for anything off Amazon as I get so many vouchers - I got a £5 Amazon voucher just for doing one survey recently!!! Im on 745 points at the minute - saving for a £10 voucher for a book I want.
I've just had my first voucher off Toluna - £10 Sainsbury's. I had to wait 2 and a half months for it!! :eek: I'm up to about 25000 again at the minute but it only took me about 4 months to get the 60000 I needed.
I like YouGov - but Im only on £12 at the minute and thats took about 3 months!!!!!! I reckon another year to get me to 50..........!!!!!

Hi People

Just had £3 Luncheon Vouchers through from Pinecone. Never used these before, I've noticed on the back of the booklet it says where you can use them. Silly question... is it just food, the eating in type? or can I use them with my shopping in Tesco. Also can I use them together or can you only use one?

Sorry if this is a thick question!!

Thanks
Sarah

I got fed up with VO as I was getting loads of surveys from them, but either screened out half way through or they were worth 10p each.

Ipsis seems to be the best one for me, had about £60 in the last year.

same here, ive stopped doing valued opinions after they screened me out after 10 mins

You could just get the £4.00 paid straight into your paypal account so you won't lose any money on them, I've built up a nice tidy sum doing that, otherwise I'd waste the vouchers on rubbish.

Newer Pinecone members only get £3.00 us oldies still get £4.00

As you can see from my sig, I do quite a lot of surveys :rotfl:

Valued opinions: As people have mentioned, sometimes they have a habit of going quiet. I'm still getting enough for a £10 voucher every couple of months or so though. I find you have to be really quick to do the surveys to qualify and still, sometimes they screen you out when you're 75% of the way through, which is maddening. Currently I'm doing a lottery survey which is going to pay £15 for 20 weeks of answering when I play the lottery. I find VO are better for these longer diary-style surveys. The vouchers are also useful for getting bottom drawer stuff.

Lightspeed: I joined up ages ago and forgot about it. Started doing them again recently and I seem to be able to get enough for £15 paypal after six months. I find Lightspeed are quite good at sending me product trials... particularly confectionary. I've had condoms and lip gloss in the past too! They don't pay the best but they're worth doing if you're sat at the PC.

Globaltestmarket: For me, these pay the best. You're guranteed to get 5 points for clicking on the survey, even if you get screened out, and 1000 points was about £35 at my last cheque. I tend to get a lot of song surveys through where I get to comment on music and I usually get around three surveys a day. This is the one I'd suggest over any others.

Onepoll: Seems to take a while to build up to your rewards but the surveys don't take long at all. Currently on a tenner after about three months, but I sometimes forget to do these every day.

Yougov: Been on there about three years and a frustrating fiver away from my £50. I hear from them about once a month with a 50p survey.

Toluna: I took my money and ran. Takes far too much time and effort to get a reward.

Just my opinion, what surveys you get will depend on your demographic. As I'm in the magical 17-24 age bracket, I might get more than someone who is older or younger.

Just give all of them a go and you'll find which are the best for you At the end of the day, it's a little money for a little effort.

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

Yeah, me too!!

Also use TNS though since New Year amount of surveys went down a bit.

I also do Ipsos - sometimes they can get a bit boring or annoying because you don't think the answers given to choose from are appropriate, but the points balance keep adding up nicely.

Question about Amazon vouchers - I recently started using Amazon for some items but never used voucher as a payment before - can you only pay for items sold by Amazon themselves or for items listed by other sellers? (like Cargo or something?)
