    How often do yougov surveys come along and how quick can you earn money on them?

    With Yougov you can't get your money till you have earned £50, I have heard it takes a very long time.

    Slightly off topic but I have just joined Gap Buster to do Mystery shopping. One assignment is to order £10 worth of food from a well known takeaway and then asess the service. You get to eat the food and are paid £3.

    You gov is quite good but I believe you have to get to £50 before you get paid. I get surveys quite often but I suspect it depends on your profile - they might be interested in people with a particular income or whatever. Why on earth would you pay to sign up to something? Have you tried pigsback to make some points online for very little effort? Also students should try The Student Panel, they've been really good.

    A few weeks ago I was getting Yougov surveys daily, not had anything for a while now. I'll probably never get to £50.
  • YouGov is not too good TBH. I've been a member for about 3 years and have only built up £30 - You need £50 before you get the money.

    Ciao is ok(ish) - I have had over £50 from them and had quite a few freebies to try as well. The annoying thing with Ciao surveys is that they let you answer a few questions before telling you that you do not meet their requirements (somewhat suspicious I think)

    Have to agree with you there! I've got about £6 credit for 2 - 3 months membership so it will take a while :rotfl:

    They're not get rich quick schemes though, can't expect huge returns for a few clicks on a survey.

    Like I said, pigsback are a better use of your time (or do both!), I've nearly got enough for a CDwow voucher and have not been doing it long. There's a thread somewhere all about how to get the maximum points.

    Yeah, I get this all the time. Very annoying! Don't think I ever fit their required demographic!

    Try surveys.com also although I've not been with them long.

  • I love yougov! I've been a member for about 3ish almost 4 years and I've had a cheque for £50 and I've got £30 in my account now!! Be patient and you'll get there with them :)
