Options
Hi, I signed up with these not long ago and ive just done my first survey they give you £1 per survey *i think* thats what i shall get for my survey ive just done.

justwondering if anyone else uses them as I cant find any info on them really..

I tried searching for a thread on survey sites as i know there is one but it can't seem to find it so sorry for posting a seperate thread on it, if you could point me in the direction fo the thread where all survey discussions go on id be very happy :)

  • I too received an email invitation. To be honest, I remain a little uneasy about giving personal information to an organization before I have confirmed their legitimacy. I will keep searching. Oh and it is £1 per 5 minutes the amount they claim to pay. That's £12 per hour.. well over the minimum wage.. getting suspicious yet?

    They do ask for an awful lot of information, but they are legit., they work for some well-known brands. (They do surveys for Saga and did election surveys for the Times.)
    I only just signed up, got one survey, got screened out..

    I think I got screened out of the first survey but they didn't make it clear.

    Had trouble signing up
    got a points email for it from either mutualpoints or maximiles, tried to sign up but the rest of the site didn't load.

    later got an email to say I hadn't completed my details, didn't bother and forgot about it, until I got a second points email from mutualpoints on Wednesday. Tried to sign up, got told I was already registered. Got sent two survey emails with several hours between them, but turned out to be both for the same survey.

  • I had an email this morning saying I would get £3 for completing the survey in the email.. it does sound a bit too good to be true, how do find out if they are legit?

    I too have joined these guys but i dont think they are dodgy, they seem to me to be a brother/sister website to New vista live. I have been a member of NVL for ages and they pay out regularly, they also pay £1 for every 5minutes of time and i have noticed the two surveys on populusive have exactly the same questions as what appear on new vista live in the screening stages.

    On both websites the cashout amount is £50.00, i cant conclusively prove they are legit, but i know NVL is legit as i have been paid by them 3 times. Populusive has exactly the same website laout, exactly the same screening questions and exactly the same pay ratio per 5 minutes time as NVL andyone else who is a member of both sites will say the same thing.

    Im going to give them a chance as i think they are a sister/brother site to NVL just like lightspeed and My survey are sister sites.

    Hope that installs some confidence in everyone.

    I also did a couple of surveys for this company earlier today.

    Their survey layout is very similar to New Vista, who I've been with for years.

    Will see how it goes.
