    I've been with them for over 18 months now and I'm still waiting to reach my first voucher - and I do all the surveys they send me. Waste of time!

    same here - its seems some people are luckier than others- i always seem to get the ones that only offer entry into a draw rather than points !

    How odd. I have been with them about the same time. I joined when flatmate worked for them. At that time you coudl only cash in your points in the US for electrical stuff and dvd box sets etc but when they changed it over I had neigh on £75. Have cashed in 3 times.IN total have had about £100 off them.

    They dont send very often despite my telling them that I would like to get surveys every coupla days and you dont get about £2 for each survey as some indicate.

    Tha same questions you refer to I am sure refer to are you a change seeker and have you done exercise. Those are indicators to ut you in certain categories and not related to the main survey.

    The part I've emboldened is in the wrong context.

    You shouldn't say "you don't get £2 for each survey as some indicate.", you should state "in my experience you don't get many if any £2 surveys".

    That way, your actually stating an opinion based on your experiences, rather than stating something thats incorrect.

    This month alone I've received 5 surveys, 2 of them when completed gave me 30 points, which is the equivalent of 30p.

    The other 3 i completed all gave me 200 points, which is the equivalent of £2.

    lucerysmum, HarrisPoll don't do sweepstakes entries through sending surveys, at least I've never seen one. I know that globaltestmarket do that, which is a real pain.

    Still drive me mad though- other survey comapnies get by without asking them, its gotten to the stage where I don't read 50% of the survey as its just these daft questions again! Surely they can ask me on my profile and then just use that?
    Madness! Will be leaving ASAP as a result of that!

    Kirk in all my years with the Harris poll way before they even launched in this country which would be at least 7 years in my experience I have never had a survey of more than £1 and the £1 ones are rare,

    Every survey I get sent and complete rewards me with a cash sum, and I get asked if I would like an entry into the sweepstakes as well, which i always take.

    My point was that I've never seen a survey that was just for sweepstakes entries with no cash reward.

    Also thats really strange that you've only received £1 surveys and that they're rare, as I've never once received a £1 survey.

    This is a screenshot of my surveys completed with harrispoll for the past 4-5 months, as you can see i get plenty of £2 surveys.
