One poll - no paying surveys????

I admit I forget to go into Onepoll every day like I used to, but I have logged in a few times over the last couple of weeks, and every time I do, all I see are the prize draw surveys - none that actually pay. Has anyone else noticed this?

    I've done a few over the last few days for 5p each but haven't had any today. It generally goes through quiet stages doesn't it? And unfortunately you do have to check it a lot as the paying ones often don't stay up for long.

    Edit: I've just had a look at onepoll and completed a 5p survey.
  • i have noticed the same, i used to get about 6 a day making about 50p but i have had about 15p-20p in 5 days and lots of comp ones but i never win a thing with them. i thought it was because i have about £26 and they thought they would slow it down a bit.

    Woohoo! Thanks for that - I checked for surveys just before I posted this question and they were all prize draw ones - just gone back in and there's a 5p one - so must have just been added! Thank you!

    It's annoying because I have over £30 now so really want to make enough for a payout and it seems to have suddenly slowed down (but I admit I haven't been logging in as much as I should).

    They dont tend to give me that many and they only pay 5p or 10p. Most of the ones I get are to win Amazon tokens.

    I'm thoroughly sick of them, to be honest! I joined up last summer after reading on here that someone had got to £40 in 6 months. Well, I admit now I don't log in every single day, but I did for months and months and I only got to about £20 after 6 months. At this rate it will take me over a year to get to £40, yet some people appear to get offered more surveys. Very odd.

    I think the Amazon vouchers are just to catch the more survey entries and they may not be intending to pay.

    As I have never ever heard of winning anyone on one poll.

    And if they really mean to give away Amazon vouchers...They should publish the list of winners and at least it will prove of being paid out.

    I am really fade up of one poll currently. I am on £15 and odd for over a month now. I remember that was not the case earlier.
  • I think the secret is to log on several times a day. I logged on at about 10am this morning (nothing) and then again about 20 minutes ago, and lo and behold, there was a survey for me. I still hear of people getting 4 -5 surveys a day, but the most I ever see are two paying ones (and usually I'm not eligible for both :rolleyes:)
    £10 a day: March - August: £1653.54/£1840; September £92.86/£300

    101 in 1001 Project: 05/07/09 - 01/04/12 (8/101 completed)
  • I have been doing a few a day but they only pay 5p each. It is going to take forever to get to £40.
  • i am getting the feeling thats a lot of effort for little reward. :-(

    In my experience, OnePoll are a very reputable company, as I have received several wins from them. I've received about 2 or 3 £200 prizes, a mobile phone, and recently an Ipod Nano.
    I've also received 2 (or 3) £40 payouts from them and my account currently stands at around £9.50. I seem to receive a payout around every 6 -8 months, and when you win a prize it's a bonus.


    Good luck
