    Hi

    I have a list of 100 sites I am with and earn an average of £1200 per year. My favourite is Yoursaypays where I am a customer service champion and I really enjoy the forum banter and fun. If you have a look there, I have listed the 100 I am with under my list of survey articles surveys for beginners. Right now, though, I am struggling with Knots Club - does anyone have any experience of them and what is going on right now with them?

    Good luck with the surveys, they are great fun and you get quite a lot regularly from them.

    i have a very bad experience of Servey sites :(. they told me to reach a threshold Value [mostly in Thousands] & when you are near to reach your Goal they blocked me every time . recommend me few sites that are easy to work with .
  • I would recommend Valued Opinions and New Vista Live :)

    I emailed pinecone and was told that they have to update their panel and I have now been removed from the panel - this seems to have coincided with my 40th birthday so maybe they don't need anyone else in that age group :-(

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone has come across survey sites which has apps to allow you to do surveys on your phone?
    Valued Opinions has recently add one and I think it's a really good idea!

    I can now do Survey sites while waiting for the bus!

    Does anyone know of any more or even survey companies that only opperate via smart phones?

  • Can I just warn anybody who is a member of this American site,(Surveyhead.com) or anyone who is thinking of joining. I would advise against this.
    I have been a member for a couple of years and had no problems, apart from regualrly being screened out. However, in the last few months I have had my earnings stolen from my account. It works like this. You complete a survey, which says completed and the cash is credited to your account under "pending". Approx 6-8 weeks later you discover that somebody at their company has deemed your answers INVALID saying criteria is not met, due to not spending the allotted time (I am a very fast reader) or giving answers they deem as INCORRECT!!!
    It is impossible to complain as although they are BBB accredited, people outside of USA or Canada can do nothing about filing a complaint, and they obviously know this hence the reason they steal money.
    I have had 4 survey payments removed in the last few months, which incidentally are top payouts of between £3 and £7.50.
    They have no right to remove payments when I have spent ages on a survey and given all my answers for their clients.
    As soon as I (ever) reach the payout threshold-which changes constantly due to the exchange rate- then I will unsubscribe, but I just wanted to warn others, so you do not get scammed too.:mad:

    I read fast too. Survey companies don't seem to know about fast readers... I slow down deliberately, surfing to other web pages, so they'll decide they've had their pathetically-small-amount-of-money's worth! But it is still maddening. Why can't they just add some test questions?

    Surveyhead have paid me once; I was amazed. They've never disallowed one of my surveys, but then, I'd slowed down, because of illness, by the time I joined them. But they screen me out of most surveys, passing me on to their "special offers".

    I think what annoys me most about survey companies' penalising fast readers is the way they tell you you have to complete the survey fully and carefully and correctly etc. etc. and add, and you'll be paid 25p (or be put in a prize draw) and the survey will last 25 minutes...
  • I too have been a memebr for weeks and my total of £3.41 has not moved since I joined.:mad: I have completed dozens of surveys and am always screened out.:mad:
    What a waste of time!:mad:

    I did a survey from DG via Ipsos, it was so long winded taking about an hour and not a sniff of a reward or prize draw. Come on DG you could offer something like a draw @ least!!!

    My Survey are very scarce these days, other than the quickie polls I've had nowt for over a fortnight!!
