Harris Poll vouchers?

Options
Hi, I requested a pay out from Harris Poll about two weeks ago. I was a bit annoyed to discover when I finally reached £25 that I could only get amazon vouchers instead of cash as previously. Anyway, does anyone know how long they take to pay out as I want to get spending!

    Mine came as an e-voucher code quite quick -maybe you should email them? Have your points been deducted from your total?

    £1 in sealed pot for each UU (2011 135/500:D) 2012 have UU 130/400 (never realised I had a mini chemist under my bed!!!) :rotfl:2013 UU 156/350. 2014 UU 197/250 2015 UU 16/100

    I wonder when that altered as I had a cash payout in March this year.

    When I first joined them, you did not get cash but had to select a gift. At least an Amazon voucher is better than that.

    I hav been doing Harris Poll for years. When I started you had to pick a gift but that was only available to the US. So when they brought in cash I had about £75. I have had about 4 payouts and have not been informed of any changes. Payouts werealays fast and in my bank account by Bacs.

    Vouchers are useless to me as I dont online shop (except ebay)and never spend in the type of places they nominate.If it has altered I will be contacting them to complain or enquire as to what can be done for those of us who dont online shop.buy the type of goods these places stock.

    I have £40 useless pounds in my Harris Poll account which could be going to pay for the important household food/bills/fares etc.(the reason I do surveys) I have emailed them to enquire as to why we were not informed ( giving us a chance to cash in) and as to why they have limited us to vouchers which are surely more of a faff for them to admin.

    I know it's not the same as getting cash right away, but maybe you could sell the voucher codes on EBay for the cash value? I often do this with ones I have gotten in the past that I had no use for.
    However, be very careful if you decide to do this. I had no problem selling them to begin with, but the last one I sold didn't work out too well. The buyer paid me, and so I sent the code, but they somehow held the payment; refused to reply to any of my messages, and not long after had closed their EBay account. The money was then returned to them. Tried to email Paypal about it, but no response. So just gave up. It was a $5 Amazon voucher, so only got around £3 from it, so not too fussed although it was really disappointing. >_< But just be careful with larger amounts. ^^
