  • I've been thinking recently about spending some of my points on prize draw entries (after winning a prize on another survey site). Does anyone here do this? And have you ever won anything?

    Gosh, what site did you win on? All these prize draw entries for different sites and I've never heard of anyone winning on them!

    It was PureProfile and I won an iPhone 7. So it's definitely worth answering all the unpaid profile questions on your feed :)

    Oh well done you! Must admit I was going to ditch PureProfile once I ever got to my next payout but perhaps I'll think again.
  • I agree with those who say it can take a long time to earn rewards from YouGov. I finally reached my £50 threshold earlier this year, but that had taken almost two years. PopulusLive pay out much more regularly, though at least my YouGov payment was processed fairly quickly after claiming.

    Must depend on your profile as I have just reached my first payout with Yougov after 8 months but am nowhere near a payout with PopulusLive which I've been doing for the same amount of time.

    I have won £100 by doing this. But that was once in 6 years!
    I incurred the debt, I repaid the debt - all of it!:o DMP started with CCCS 20/07/2007 Was £32,735. Paid off all my creditors (June 2013) 7 yrs ahead of original DFD.
    PPI claims won against Barclays x 2/ Egg x 1/ LV x . PPI claims rejected and then upheld Barclays/Egg x 2

    You are replying to a post that is over 2 years old and YouGov have dropped the prize draws anyway.

    I've been with Yougov for several years and have cashed out a few times. There aren't enough surveys t reach £50 quickly.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Interesting that they don't increase their rate. I've been doing surveys for years and still get the same amount as more than ten years ago. It's a bit soul destroying.
