    GTM are good, quite possibly the best I know of, a point is worth 5c which with the exchange rate at the moment means $50 = £30+

    Toluna are slow, very slow to add points and build them up and extremely slow to send out rewards.

    MyVoice, not bad, again very slow to build up the points on there but once you do the reward vouchers arrive quickly and its very rare that they screen you out of the surveys.

    Crap , Crap and cant say

    toulana take ages to add points , if they in fact ever do and the majority of people find that they dont reply to emails, Global test market are fcking usless as they lie about points that are due as well as have been known to deduct points from peoples accounts for no reasons and again is anotther company that dont respond to emails.

    cant comment on the last company as never used it


    if your looking for the better survey sites see the correpsonding thread on the freebies thread

    I waited around 6 weeks.
    I have had no problems with them at all, but they seem to be offering more prize draw surveys than points reward ones these days.

    They take ages - 1-2 months, it's sent by cheque from Canada and I belive the minimum is $50 (just over £30).

    You should receive a cheque for the equivalent of US $50, converted into Sterling, and the site says that it should arrive within 6-8 weeks for those of us who live outside the US.
  • I think globaltestmarket is good. I don't mind toluna, it is quite easy to get points doing sponsored polls. They are slow to pay though. You do get the vouchers eventually.

    Today I've just received a cheque from GTM. It took around 6 weeks to arrive and the value is £32.50.

    Toluna do provide lots of surveys and ways of earning points however from completing a survey to getting points takes 6 weeks and they say that you get your vouchers within 8 weeks of requesting them. This means from doing the "work" to getting the vouchers is a MINIMUM of three and a half months.

    However often the vouchers take a lot longer than 8 weeks to arrive :mad:and you then need to spend your time chasing them up. As such I would suggest that you AVOID them and find other sites to join (there are several out there).

    I am a member of another site who say you have to wait up to 8 weeks from earning the last reward to receiving the vouchers, however it is often closer to 6 weeks, if they can do it why can't Toluna who appear to be a much larger company.

    It is particularly strange when you consider that some companies pay out instantly, and most take a couple of weeks at the most. Like you say, Toluna seem to have lots of surveys but there are so many better ones out there I pretty much never bother with Toluna anymore.
