Tescos I did sent the required email twice as no reply was recieved and I did get an email notification a week ago to say that they had both been read but nothing so far.

Boots I filled the online registration in and it stated forms would be sent out to me and that was aprox 2 weeks ago but nothing yet.

On Toluna I keep doing surveys etc and did subscribe to 2 trials but not have heard anything.

Bzz I keep checking for any surveys and did get someone else to join and did get offered to review some straighteners but did decline as I've already got 3 pairs.

Signed up for Argos but not heard anything.

Signed up for Asda Pulse but keep checking that and nothing.

Signed up for valued opinions and keep doing surveys but that doesnt appear to be doing anything.

Signed up for Ipsos but nothing.

Signed up for Beauty Judge but nothing so far.

I'd like to know which ones to avoid and what I should actually be doing as I might be doing things wrongly.

The help will be gratefully appreciated

Please bear in mind, this is In my own experience:

Boots are fabulous... but as sarah mentioned, they haven't been taking anyone on for ages

Tesco, I didn't bother with as although I had a clubcard, I don't do my main shop there and I think they are only looking for people that do!

Toluna, personally, I find a waste of space - have signed up for trials and have never received any... you redeem your vouchers and it takes ages to get them...anything from 2 to 6 months.... there is a thread on here about them. I am waiting for a voucher I redeemed in September to come through and then will cancel my account and in the meantime am ignoring any surveys that come from them (maybe that's why I haven't got my voucher!!??)

Valued Opinions I think are great, although it is frustrating when you get into a survey, answer questions and they tell you that you haven't qualified... albeit, I have got my vouchers almost instantly!

Ipsos, I have had nothing from them in over 18 months.

Asda Pulse.. well they send you a survey every so often asking your thoughts of what's going on in the world and how you feel... to put you into a prize draw for £50.. I haven't got anywhere with that one either!

oh and Bzz are good... I paid £20 for a fabulous steam generator iron last year which is brilliant... have had some free chocolate and tampons... was offered some wet to dry hair straighteners last week which I turned down (I think they were about £40? someone will correct me on this one...whatever it was, I thought the price was a bit steep for a trial.. I like my GHD's and wouldn't pay that much to try anything else!)
