Ive had one payout already and Im now at £16. Ive found the way to make more is at the 1st question when they ask if you or a close relative work at one of the listed occupations, always click no and you'll go on to the next step0

Whoa.. That's a long time for you.. I hope you attain the threshold of making the payout soon. Good luck!0 -

Thought this would be a good first post!
So I joined PureProfile in June 2004 and it started well and my first 8 surverys each paid £1 each so I thought getting to the £25 would be no problem at all. Then they started dropping to anywhere between 5 and 40p and the amount of surveys sent to me started to dry up.
Here's what I was sent
2004 - 4 Surveys (bear in mind I joined in June)
2005 - 1 Survey!
2006 - 15 Payments (I say payments because for a while they paid for web searches I think. They were like 40p a go)
2007 - 5 Surveys
2008 - 30 Surveys
2009 - 17 Surveys
So as I got older, the surveys became more frequent, which to be honest, I can understand. The fact that it took me 72 surveys to get to the minimum payment shows how measly the rewards often were. I have requested the payment so fingers crossed it goes through. I will then have to decide whether to stop using the site or whether to carry on for what might end up being another few years...
The surveys and the site are very easy to navigate and I've always felt PureProfile has the best feel to it...shame it takes so long to get some wonga!0 -
I use quite a few survey sites, and the reason I like PP is that you get at least SOME kind of reward, even if you don't qualify. 5p it may be, but 5p makes me feel that I have not COMPLETELY wasted my time.
Best tip is to check back all the time as they're not great at emailing out like other sites are.Disgruntled saver (hating low interest rates) who LOVES a good survey and a freebie!

Hi Guys,
I was the UK Sales manager for Pure profile in the UK. - any proof of this ?
Surveys were slow as there are a number of larger companies operating in the UK - sorry it's taking you so long to reach the threshold!
You can find most of these companies on a site called MyViewPays - thresholds are lower and surveys more frequent!

Why would anyone join My View Pays when the majority of survey websites are already listed on MSE ?0 -
You cant find survey sites on MSE ? :rotfl:0

Is it just me, I joined on 13th July and am still waiting for my first survey. I log in 3to4 times a week. Have also emailed them, though there has been no reply to my last one. Think I'll just give up.0

I have been a member for a few years and since I started checking in everyday to see if there are any surveys waiting for me I have found I'm certainly getting many more to complete! I spent about four years just sat at about £12 because I was wiating for them to email me but now I am up to £65
am just keeping my money in there for the time being before I cash it in.
