Survey sites guide discussion

Has anyone been paid by Pureprofile before ? I redeemed on 11 July and they said it'd be in the bank within 30 days but it isn't yet. Anyone know if this is normal or how long to leave it before getting in touch ?

Many thanks

Hi

I redeemed on 13 July, in my bank account 18 August. Not sure why it takes so long.

Could I have some input from the experts please!!!

I do surveys direct with the survey company, and on Swagbucks and now seem to have picked up a couple of survey sites which collate surveys for me like Vivatic.

Am I right in thinking payment is greatest with the survey company direct?

My other thought is that survey collation sites pay out at, say £10 whereas some of the survey sites they deal with only pay out at £50 - which seems a very long way away! Should I swap to what is probably a lesser payment rate for not having to wait a year for payout!

It is very difficult to get any direct comparisons - any ideas please?

If it helps, I have bumped off thats-what-i-think, surveyhead and gratis points in favour of swagbucks

Hiya Cally - you're here too - Queen of the Boards!!!

Sometimes on SB a 30 minute survey will be 70SB (less than 50p) whereas 30 minutes on the originators site could be £1.50 for example.
Maybe it would be best just to stick with the daily survey for the points and hit the daily target but do the others elsewhere - but would they crop up there too? Difficult one!

The way I saw it was this ... I would rather do the survey on swagbucks and earn bucks on there that can be cashed out quickly than have to wait for surveys to be approved and then wait till I reached whatever cash out level required

Each to their own though

Think I agree with you Cally - it is more fun on SB anyway!

I have a few survey emails for Vivatic which I haven't done yet as they are from one of my mail survey sites which pays out at £50 - this was why I asked. They are just sitting in the inbox calling my name but I have resisted - maybe I will give them a go when I have cashed out the £50 site as I have accumulated quite a bit towards total there.

Decision made - carry on as I am and don't add the survey aggregators!

Thanks Cally!

A quick question:

If I choose payment by Paypal do I get charged by Paypal for receiving the funds? (like I do if I sell something on Ebay)

Thanks

Hi

Crowdology charge about 8p for PayPal payments. Pinecone Research and Opinion Outpost don't charge anything. Not sure about any others as I mostly get paid by bank transfer or Amazon vouchers.

Hi, quick(ish) question regarding taking online surveys from home for money and self-assessment tax returns (SATR). Hope this is the right place to ask...

Firstly, an explanation of our situation:

My wife is currently on maternity leave and wanting to still make a bit of money. She is completing online surveys for cash when time allows and thought she should let the tax office know just in case. To give you an idea of the income she's making from this, it has been £20 in the last three months.

The tax office asked her some questions, and said she would have to fill in a form to state she would not be earning enough through this source of income to contribute to National Insurance payments. We thought that would be it as far as dealing with the taxman went; certainly the person she spoke to gave no indication there would be anything else to do.

We have today received a letter from HMRC saying she needs to complete a SATR because she recently contacted them to register for Self Assessment, or they have looked at her circumstances and would now like us to complete a SATR. We certainly didn't contact them to register for Self Assessment, so presume it must be the second option.


Secondly, our question:

Is it usual for someone to have to complete a SATR after earning such a small amount of money and has anyone here been in a similar situation? We've never had to do a SATR before, so any advice at all is appreciated. It seems like an awful lot of work for such a small amount of money.

Thanks
