Crowdology Survey Site

I have seen an ad for Crowdology paid surveys. Has anyone ever heard of these or uses them?
Here is the link for the ad in Free Stuff Junction:
http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/cashbackrewards.shtml

They will pay £0.50 to £3.00 for each survey.
I don't want to sign up for these at the moment as I have never heard of them and would like to see any feedback first.
Must learn not to count chickens before they are hatched!!!!:D

Every day is a new challenge not a new problem!:p

    I'm with these, but have not earned anything yet. The reason for this is that they are very new. I've checked them out and they are legit, so no worries there.
    I would sign up for them as a lot of survey companies now only recruit so many members and then won't let anyone else join. It's a cost cutting/money saving exercise

    For every survey you complete, you will be rewarded. The amount of money you receive depends on the length and type of survey, from £0.50 up to £10 or more. Rewards are accumulated as soon as surveys are undertaken, and your rewards are paid into your bank account via PayPal. We do not operate complex points systems, and the rewards are simple – cash payment for your time via your PayPal account. You can start claiming your rewards after accumulating just £2.50 in your account, so you don’t have to wait too long before claiming your money.

    In addition we run monthly prize draws for every Crowdology™ member who has completed a survey in the last month, screened out of surveys and for members who have referred a friend.

    You've not had any money from them, they are new, and you have checked and they are legit!

    How have you checked?

    If they are new they won't have much of a track record to check.

    I never class any site as legit until I've been paid from them. Too many of them pull dirty tricks to avoid paying you, like cancelling your account just as you reach the minimum needed for a payment. Or stop sending you surveys so you can't reach a payment, or make sure you can never complete a survey.

    I'm not saying don't try them, but don't class them as legit until you have been paid. Don't go by other web sites that say they are legit and then provide a link which earns them money if you click it. Some people would declare the Nazi party to be saints if they got a penny for every visitor they sent to their web site.

    Geordie Joe, I am with many survey sites and use Survey Police so I know how to check if a site is legit. I have never had any bad dealings with a site like no payment or them going back on their word etc as I always check them out fully.

    I know not to trust an unknown website that says their legit and I always go to without using a link from another site.

    I have done 2 surveys with them but didn't qualify so that's why I've not got any credit with them.

    You should not presume that people know nothing, I've been doing this long enough to know exactly what I'm doing and that's why I've never had any trouble.

    I've signed up with them but I've just checked my points and underneath it says "When you've reached 500 GBP you can redeem your money by clicking on the update button below." hopefully this is a typo, otherwise even the most dedicated survey takers are unlikely to reach this any time soon.
