It depends what you mean by regular I 'regularly' receive an invitation from Saros about once every 3 months or so but I've not been to more than one focus group in a year unless it has been for a 'call back' on a particular subject. I'm registered with other companies but so far no other company has invited me on one but I haven't exactly pushed that side of things to be honest.

Thanks for that, whats the names of the other companies your on as id like to join thanks:beer:

Does anyone else use mailpay?.

Vince and his 'Mailpay' have been :mad:{bytching}:mad: about MSE over in one of the usenet email abuse groups. It's available in googlegroups for 'non usenet' folk.

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/news.admin.net-abuse.email/browse_thread/thread/c46f6b69cefbd955/aed6262c0bf5afd5?hl=all&lnk=gst&q=mailpay#aed6262c0bf5afd5

He gets quite a kick in, makes some boastful untruths, and generally makes a bit of a plonker of himself - kind of daft to try and engage the anti-spam community with a 'pay to email' scheme. Derrrrrr.

My own opinion is MSE is run *very* well. It is one of the *best* forums on the internet and people attempt to abuse it, and it's users, daily for gain. Long may MSE resist such schemes. I don't think Vincent is a bad person, just a little misguided.

Anyone have an alternative email address to Surveyhead? They are fine with paying out on time, just they are not replying to my emails about outstanding surveys and another issue

Try support@surveyhelpcenter.com. I've contacted them on that before and received a response, although last time I didn't hear back and only got a reply through the contact form on the website.

Btw, I don't suppose your outstanding survey(s) is from April? I've got one still pending from then that will let me cash out when it's credited. I've emailed twice, got a reply once to say it's being looked into but no joy as yet so I've emailed again.

You sure you not getting mixed up with Harris Poll Online ?

Harris Interactive always put the points on any survey invites I've had from them

Focus groups works and enable you to get more than surveys but normal that you are not often collicited as they look for less participant and profiles are really precise sometimes. But it works, can win between £30 and £80 per focus group.

I've done severeal surveys for Golbal Test Market but only seem to be getting entries in to prize draws which really gives me nothing! Just spent about 20 minutes on one today which literally came in to my inbox as I was viewing it and after all that I got a lovely message saying 'bummer this survey has finished'! Did the same on Valued Opinions yesterday only to be told at the end they had enough answers already. Surley they know this when you logon to start! I give up!

It is annoying, majallen, I found it happened a lot with Lightspeed (before they merged with MySurvey) and stopped doing any surveys that lasted longer than 15 minutes - their explanation was that this could happen if other people completing their surveys at the same time as you but finished before you finished yours and the required participants for the survey was met!

I've noticed Global Test Market are putting out more prize draw ones of late though I've never had the "bummer" message after completing one. Valued Opinions it has happened rarely.

I don't know about anyone else, but it has made me very wary about the surveys I now do and the length of surveys I take on - let's face it, some survey sites get a lot of work from a lot of people for relatively little outlay.

i probably get sent 15surveys a week and qualify and complete at about 25%.

Just out of interest, the prize draws, has anyone ever won on these?

Andif you do, do they send you notification? Or do you have to look upand claim yourself?

Thanks
