On-line Surveys! Gained absolutely nothing!

Hi everyone!

Every now and again I read of people who have been relatively successful when trying to earn a few pennies via filling in online surveys.

I am constantly emailed by a few (can't think of them off the top of my head) but I have gained absolutely nothing.

A couple you can save points to get vouchers but they haven't been in touch for a while.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Am I the only person not happy with my survey-filling-pastime!!!

Thanks in advance!!

    the best 1 i have been to is yougov you earn £££ (usually 50p)for every survey you do-they send them to you but you can always log in and see if there are any to do, you can'twithdraw any money until you have £50 i think and they send you a cheque.
    you could also try quidco if you haven't already and i do ipoints and pigsback too where you earn vouchers.
    i just type "yougov" in google box to find the sites but someone on here can probably give you a link for them.

    Why is a person that handles your money called a broker?!:confused:

    I use quickwise that normally pay £1 a survery and if your not suitable you still get the £1.. you can claim any value over £9! I also use lightspeed.. took a while to get up and runnign with that one. The surveys are alot longer and you only get the points if your quick enough!! From 500 points you can claim a voucher (not got that many yet!).

    The best one to get into is pinecone. You get £4 of luncheon vouchers (can be spent in many places) per survey. It is very hard to get into tho, it took me weeks of searching for one of their ads.

    The other I used to get vouchers from regularly was valued opinions. It really does depend on whether you are the right person they want to survey or not tho as to how well you do with them. I gave up in the end as it took too much of my time compared to how much I was earning. I think I was a member of about 25 at least!!
    I live in my own little world, but it's ok as everyone knows me here :)
