    I dont know but I closed my account when I got my first £50 as it took 2 years to get it and then about 6-8 weeks to get paid. Never again
  • I haven't had a Yougov cheque for a while, but i am on Toluna, Lightspeed, Vista and a few others, i just go through them and collect the points and then november i cash them all in for xmas!
  • I joined in 2006 and I have had 3 £50 cheques.It does take along time to earn it but I find their surveys are more interesting than others.Sorry op I have never taken much notice of when they send it.I know it's not too long after you reach £50.I hope you get it soon.
  • I recently got my first £50 cheque from YouGov, but had to request it through my account. Does your balance still say 5000 points? It took a while for the cheque to arrive too.

    I average a cheque a month from yougov. I do find they take a few weeks to turn up, but the date you redeem the points shown in my account changes about a week before I receive the cheque in the post. My latest cheque request has changed to 15 January (like OP) so am expecting the cheque later this week - I expect they wait to do a big batch of cheques at once. I've never had a problem with getting the cheques, but it can take up to a month. I wish they did BACS payments though!
    On a mission.

    Not laughing at all. It can be done. Waiting for a cheque at the moment and balance already up to 2675. I don't bother doing the surveys myself any more but I have a lot of referrals. The referrals give a better hourly rate than doing the surveys.

    I've been doing YouGov since around 2005.

    I am currently on £45.

    Once I get to £50 I will be closing it.

    Ive always thought that sending out referals is the best way to do make this work, but I find people reluctant to join whats the key to your success??
