Survey sites guide discussion

Luvplacebo

Does anyone else use mailpay? I've had a look at the site but I'm not convinced its worth it, it doesn't mention how much they pay you per email, or how payment is received or anything.

I am looking for survey sites for teenagers within the UK. I am already a member of Young Poll and want to know if there are any others?

I have put together a word document with all the top survey sites I use to make money (and by top I mean the ones that pay the most/send you the most surveys).

Here is a taster of a few of the sites included in my guide:

Valued Opinions
Signup Bonus: None
Amount: 25p – £5
Threshold: £10
Withdraw: Vouchers
Link: http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/index.php?id=23

GlobalTestMarket
Signup Bonus: None
Amount: £1 – £2
Threshold: 1,000 points ($50)
Withdraw: Cheque
Link: http://www.globaltestmarket.com/join.php

The guide lists 7 sites in total and the information included is if you get a sign up bonus; the amount you get per survey; the amount you need to build up before you withdraw; the ways in which you can withdraw; and the link to the site to join up.

If you want the full guide PM me your email address and I will email it to you. As time goes on I hope to add more sites that I start using and improve it with more information.

To put it in perspective I make between £20-40 a month on survey sites depending on the time of year/how many I can do (normally there is big increases leading up to Christmas/elections/summer holidays) and I find I can complete them anywhere I can access my email and anytime I have a spare 10 minutes.

Hope you like my guide and lets make some free money!

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I'd like to point people at an online survey system which pays $10 a time. You download a bit of software which they use to record your voice and what's on your computer screen while you visit web sites. Sometimes they ask you do do a general review of the web site, sometimes the site-owners ask you to look at specific areas.

Although the service is based in the USA and pays in dollars via PayPal, the site-owners can specify that they want tests done by UK candidates.

The reason I'm posting this is because I use the service to test UK web sites, so I'm keen that they should build up a bigger pool of UK testers. So I'm a user of the service from the 'other' side, if you see what I mean!

As a new user, I can't post a link

But if you search for usertesting . com and then scroll down there's a link at the bottom right "Get Paid to Be a User Tester"

I hope this is useful to someone.

Thanks!

Your post, Tim, made me curious so I went over to the site, signed up, and have done a couple of reviews which have been interesting - am yet to see whether they were good enough and I'll get paid!

For those who might wish to give this a go: I had a little problem initially with their software - Windows wouldn't open it (virus and spyware checking came back negative no problems with that) - but UserTesting's response was quick and the problem resolved their end within a few hours. It takes more time to do a review than you might think and the uploading of the recording seems to take an age but it is really quite enjoyable and a lot different from normal surveys.

I'll report back ......

I've no trouble logging into Lightspeed at the moment either. Bit fed up with them though after spending 30+mins completing a survey getting 95% through it I'm suddenly informed they've reached their target number and kicking me off it. I emailed them to confirm it wasn't a technical problem, which it wasn't (and none of my data will be used!?) but I have got 10 points for the draw! Grrrrr. This is happening a bit too often now on some sites.

I've seen this as well. More and more they are actually getting the information they want and then kicking you out. Still, they are at least coming in regular again after a bit of a quiet time over Xmas.

Valued Opinions are seriously coming through with about £75 this month already, though mostly from extra stuff and up to £30 each. Some missing though but they replied by email that it will take a few more weeks. Opinion World have come good as well with maybe £50 this month. GTM in for another £20 or so and a couple of others for small bits.

I was going to blitz the lot and they rationalise but maybe I won't have to. Been a good month overall.

That's really good property.advert. Opinion World have been offering me mostly "one arm bandit" draws for years, I get points/money survey offers once a month at the very best and it's always been that way with them for me so I pretty much rationalised them out a year ago.

If you still do surveys, it might be worth joining Opinion World again as now pretty much all their surveys are worth points, with a payout once you reach 1000 points, as an idea a 20 minute survey can be for between 100 and 300 points

As a new mum I signed up to Mum's Opinions (now 'Word of Mum panel) a survey site promising payment for my views on topics such as baby food, nappies and formula. My son Jacob is now 1 year old and I had only gained £6.50 for the 10 surveys completed. I applied for every survey available but you don't always qualify.


I received an email last week giving me 30 days notice as Mum's Opinions (now 'Word of Mum panel) is closing down. I was told that any unclaimed credit would be lost. I tried to claim the £6.50 I earned but I am unable to as the minimum claim is £10. Obviously I won't be able to complete more surevys in the next 30 days to qualify for the minimum payment. I emailed them to express my disappointment but have not received a response.
I am surprised that Bounty are lending their name to such a company who clearly exploit those completing surveys.


Anyone else had problems?

just got my first lot of pinecone(accor luncheon) vouchers. Has anyone ever had any trouble spending them?
