    hi and welcome to mse,

    there is quite a few survey sites the ones that i do are :

    lightspeed-these are very good
    value opinons again good site
    ipos
    yougov-good but very slow making upto 50.00 which is the amount you need to redeem a cheque.
    my survey- this is a good site to.
    consumer pulse-this isn't a survey site, its a site you add your shopping (clothes etc) to each month you can earn quite a lot of points here. but you have to be invited by them there is a link here where you just fill out your details, if i find the link i'll post it.


    there's many others but thats all i do.if you do a search on here you will find many posts all about them.

    i hope this has helped you and im sure others will be along soon with other sites to try. :D

    here's a link about all survey sites:

  • Hi! I do a few of these.
    My favourite is Ipsos....they send me quite a few survets, and the points soon build up. They are really quick at sending out rewards too.
    I'm stuggling with Toluna. They don't send that many surveys, and I am rejected by over 90% of the ones they do send. And they points they give tend to be really miserly!
    You need to look into the sites and decide how much of your time you can gicve to surveys, and which rewards you want (I tend to go for Amazon vouchers).
    If you pick the sites that work well, it can be quite rewarding.
    Good Luck!

    You might like dooyoo as well. It's not a survey site, it's a reviewing site. But you still earn money.

    I've given up with Toluna now - they take far too long to issue your vouchers... months sometimes!! I'm waiting for one to come through that I requested a few weeks ago and then I'll be giving them a swerve...

    Valued Opinions is one of my faves... they send their vouchers instantly which is great!

    Global Test Market are good as they issue you with a cheque rather than vouchers. Admittedly, they can take up to 6 weeks to get to you, but they do tell you that from the start!

    Hi, welcome, ive tried loads of sites and eventually whittled them down to ones which i think are worth it - Toluna - i havent cashed out and i hear they are a bit of a nightmare but with toluna there are loads of survey opportunites and mini polls which are good for getting your points up and are updated regularly. Surveyhead - they offer real money through paypal- again i havent cashed out but the cash out threshold is just over £15 which is good. Lightspeed- really good, real money into paypal and regular survey invited but can be long tedious and time consuming. And Yougov - a large cash out threshold but they feel very trustworthy.
    Hope this helps
    Bstuff :p : Pigsback - 4,735. Toluna - 98,210. Surveyhead - £7.37 (£4.92 Pending). Yougov - £4.50. Lightspeed - 970.

    Personally I'd go for Lightspeed Panel and Valued Opinions.

    Avoid Toluna at all costs.

    YouGov is worth a punt. It will probably take a couple of years before you can cash in but earlier this year they invited me to take part in an online forum. It took two hours and they sent me a cheque for £25.

    A lot of these panels can be found on cashback sites, e.g. Join Lightspeed Panel through TopCashBack and you're 90p to the good before you've even started.
