    Pinecone Research always pay up, so do Pure Profile, Ciao and Quickspeed, but you have to build up a balance with some.
    Pinecone is the best, they pay out straight away. I still get Luncheon Vouchers, but you can now have it paid to a Paypal account.

    I use

    http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/

    when I get up to £10 I claim a tesco gift card and use it on my shopping

    Me too, just got my tesco voucher yesterday:j

    I also use My TNS and they pay you in Nectar Points which are almost instantly credited to your Nectar card. Ooh and YouGov I think they are vouchers too but have not earned enough to claim one yet.
  • I do quite a few..

    Pinecone
    Ipsos
    Lightspeed
    Yougov
    Ciao
    Global Opinon panel
    TNS
    Thats what I think
    Valued opinons
    Cosmectic research
    Morphy richards panel
    Tesco panel

    all worth doing, because every little bit of extra free money, or gift vouchers helps :D
  • The only one I do is YouGov, you get 50p for most surveys, but sometimes your name is entered in a prize draw (or so they say...) You can check your account online and when you get £50 they send you a cheque. Just had my second £50 cheque - worth doing, but it takes me over a year to get £50.

    Had not realised there were others - will have a look at them - thanks

    Hadn't heard of the Tesco panel one - I'll check out their website, or do you have a link for it?
    Its amazing how the small amounts of cash earned here and there mount up nicely - I've no worries about affording Christmas presents and Christmas shopping this year!

    thanks

  • I signed for LOADS of online paid surveys - got me nowhere. You can earn £100's if you are on your computer 24 hours a day as some pay just 5p a survey .... Also some promise you the earth get you to start the survey, COMPLETE the survey but then send you a message that they have already filled their quota!!!! Choose wisely and be prepared to put real time and effort into it.

    Sorry about that. I had to restrict PM's to buddies only due to unpleasant PM's from a few characters on these boards. I've fixed it now - please could you PM me again?

    thanks :)

    I do TNS, Valued Opinions and Ciao - had £30 in M&S so far.

    I was with Home of Research and Zoom but I dropped those off as it was taking ages to get anywhere. Love the TNS ones becuase they're obviously straight onto the Nectar Card - most of my points are from TNS to be honest - you also get 100 extra points if you recommend a friend so got all of my mates at work doing them now!!
    Anywhere is within walking distance - if you have the time!!
