    I'm having a few problems with clicks.

    1) Cash back cheese doesn't seem to be tracking at the moment (past week), not sure why
    2) Buy central seems to have changed again. By that I mean to get it to track you had to b4 click on one of the favourite items on the lefthand side-they have got rid of that now and i'm not sure how you can now get it to track.
    3) seems to be a severe reduction in possible cliks in general from most sites. anyone recommend which current ones they are using for the best deals?

    Thanks

    I've recently had an email from Pinecone telling me that I can now be paid via Paypal if I want to. I don't have a Paypal account and know nothing about it. Could someone please tell me if it's safe and if there are any charges please?

    Sorry if this has been covered before.

    Thanks

    Paypal is safe and there would no charges for withdrawing any payments received from doing survey's. There is a minimum withdrawal amount though, I think it's £5 ot maybe £6 pounds. So for example if you completed a pinecone survey and received £4 to your paypal you wouldn't be able to withdraw it until your balance increased.

    I opt, where I can to have all my survey payments made into paypal, pinecone and lightspeed for example amongst others. As I have several paying into it I tend to find my balance isn't under the limit for long so I can always make withdrawls

    Thanks antispam. It's good to have feedback from someone who uses Paypal.

    I'd prefer to have money than vouchers so I think I'll set up an account.

    Thanks again :)

    Hi deedums, I agree with antispam and have been receiving payments from Pinecone and others into PayPal for a few years now with no problems at all. For a fee PayPal used to charge me for transferring funds into my bank account if the balance was below £50 and completely free above that (bank and PayPal) but looking on their Help pages today it now seems that PayPal don't charge any more but the bank might - perhaps someone else can help more here.

    I rarely withdraw to my bank now as more and more companies accept PayPal for payment so it is becoming more convenient, and feels safer to me, to use my PayPal account for purchases whenever possible online.

    Thanks lotstolearn, I opened a Paypal account this morning and read the bit about individual banks possibly charging. I'll check with my bank later.

    Thanks again for your help :)

    is anyone having issues with reward opinions?

    looks like they took over business opinions. £2.75 less in my account and emailed twice but no reply.

    Got 2 suryveys missing on reward opinions (normally credited with no problem) and no reply to the email i sent either.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!
