Yes.

Looks like (a) is on sale now (I think they are crazy coming onto an already crowded marketplace)

i had a look on there as the last couple of comments seemed quite complementary about it, but there seems no way to sign up or register?
unless they insist you do it through facebook :cool:

if someone could give me a run down of the great and the good of these survey sites, i'd be very grateful- just getting into it. i know you don't physically have to do anything like stretch your brain or move, but most of these surveys seem like a lot of time for pittance, am i wrong?

Hi there,

I have been using survey companies to make money for 3 or so years and make about £200-£300 a year which I save up and cash in before Christmas each year.

I've been using Opinion People as well as many others and I was furious this week when I logged in to check my balance and it was 0! Apparently I had reached the £15 cash in limit and didn't cash in within 3 months so they reset my balance to zero!!! :mad: I sent a really snotty email saying that this was grossly unfair, as at around 20p-50p per survey, it takes a lot of my time to reach £15 only to have it wiped out. They argued that I hadn't provided a paypal account or given bank details, which is rubbish, as I have cashed in many times before so they have my details.

They would not accept this and blankly refused to reinstate my points.

I would strongly warn anyone against Opinion People, as I use many others which I've never had a problem with.

HTH prevent this from someone else having this happen to them.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with this survey site, but thank you for sharing as I have recently been looking for new ones to join and I was going to register (won't bother now!)

What other survey websites do you use? except for the main ones; Toluna, valuedopinions, mysurvey, panelopinion etc

Hi,

I've been taking part in online surveys for quite a long time now (around 3 years) and have found them a good little earner.

I agree that you may not necessarily make pots of money, but obviously the more you do the more you get paid, which is why it's good to be a member of multiple survey websites.

As I work up in London and have to commute a fair distance, I use my travelling time productively by taking part in the surveys. I would say the major downside with some survey websites is that you can spend a lot of time on one survey only to be screened out and not get any recompense!

I suggest you register to around 5 good surveys websites and see how it goes for a month.

Good luck and I hope you have as much success as me!

Hi guys. Which survey site is best for getting amazon vouchers and doesn't take ages to get enough for a voucher? I tried to sign up for valued opinions but it just kept telling me there was already a user with my email addy. I requested the password and logged in but it just said I cannot be signed up. Are there any other good sites?

I have a list of sites that pay with amazon vouchers but no reviews or personal experiences of them. I'd like one that I know will pay out and is good. Thanks for any advice

A pretty good day today, got a few more MySurvey surveys done and a few on another site!
