samanddean - I've been with them for about 8 months now. I emailed and they just said that I shouldn't expect to be invited to all surveys as I'm probably not suitable. Nice!!!Comping, Clicking & Saving for Change0

i'm registered with quite a few surveys too and mystery shopping sites if you have time to do that? yesterday, whilst looking around I found the following link: www.ilovefreebiesuk.net/ and its a cool website (its not mine) but has lots of different surveys on aswell as mystery shopping and cashback sites, all the sites have a rating too which I thought was pretty cool. hope that helps someone
Good site there samanddean0 -
Been doing this for about 2 years but they don't seem to have sent me any recently. Must check
I've just had two from Synovate aka Global Opinion Panels. I worked out that for the 20 odd mins I spent on the two surveys I got paid a grand total of 37p! I was checking back and I've done loads of surveys for them and still not made £5 - now I can see why. In my opinion I would stay well clear of these guys - I know its money for not much and none of these sites (with exception of pinecone) pay that well but I think £1.00 per hour is where I draw the line.
Not that I would want to refer anyone to them but out of interest their pay for referals is 6p per contact!
Do they live in a time warp on conversion values or are they just taking the pi$$?
One piece of advice I would give with ones that pay you in 'points' is be careful that the points are worth it as its easy to not notice or confue the conversion rate.0 -
Thanks for feedback redclar.
Synovate, then, is one of the sites to avoid0 -

(really not sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it)
On the rpoints website I saw several ads for websites that claim to pay you what seems respectable amounts of money (up to several 100s per month) for doing their surveys.
I'm not looking to eran much but anything that could go into savings and that wouldn't take me away from my baby would be helpful.
Are these sites dodgey or are they genuine?
Has anyone ever done these before?
You share my Question but after losing a few hundred $'s, here's what i have found. Do not trust heavy claims Get Paid To programs cannot make you Rich, they can only get you some alternative income but does not substitute your Earnings. There are many fake paid survey companies out there which charge hefty fee, Be aware and cautious when you read their claims. I have a handful paid survey companies that actually work. But i am not gonna reveial them here. Mail me @ aprilboi@gmail.com if you want to know more abt paid surveys.
FInally, the best way to identify Genuine paid Company is to search for "Genuine paid Surveys" on Google and then add the words scam to it and search it again. Example: i've found this site surveycheese.com ranking top for genuine paid surveys and then i add scam surveycheese.com in the google search bar. read some reviews. Usually the ones charging you the least are the best and look for contact address, many fake companies do not display their address nor respond to your mails. Finally its better to invest a little than to lose a lot.
Thanks
