Has anyone ever reached the £40 payment limit and how long has it taken to build this up? I have been doing surveys since Jan 2010 and am only up to £13. At this rate I won't reach £40 till at least 2012!

    In another thread some people said they have been paid a few times, so it must depend on how often you do the surveys.

    I got to £24 then gave up/got interested in other things. Then on Friday I got an email from them saying it's been a year since I logged in, and they would like me to come back.

    The email also said they never pay less than 15p and sometimes up to £1, and always have 6-7 surveys online.

    There were 6 surveys when I logged in on Friday, so I did them. But there hasn't been any since, do they not have surveys on a weekend?

    Hi, been with them ages and Account Balance is £23.35!
    Other than the initial £2.50 sign up I get between 5p & 30p, mostly 10-15p :(

    Surveys - surveys? I only ever have the on site questionnaires and as I said above only ever get between 5p & 30p, mostly 10-15p if you qualify. Then there are the questionnaires for Amazon vouchers (never won anything yet).

  • I'd forgotten about onepoll to be honest. I prefer the sites that send me surveys as otherwise I forget to check every day. Value Opinions is good for that.

    The email I mentioned earlier also said

    Some of you do not like logging on to see what surveys are available. So now we e-mail to notify you of new surveys that are online! And, if you use an iPhone, we will send you a push notification whenever a survey is available.

    Only ever received one email notification to tell me there was something new.

    Have got to £36 but I think it has taken me about 8 months and I am getting fed up with it now. Once I get the £40 I think I will stop.

    Well done on getting to £36 in eight months, I have been with them longer than that but only sat at £23.35. Like you I will stop using them once I get to (if ever) the £40 mark.

    Same with Readbud it is like pulling teeth to get to the $50 mark and where I used to get up to 15 reads a day since I hit the $30 mark I get 3 a day and quite often on of those don't work so I make 9-20 cents a day if I am lucky.
    Still I am at the $45 mark so the end is in sight, just need to see if they pay out when I get there!

    I've found that if you go on the site two or three times a day you can earn around £3 or £4 a week. They only list surveys Monday to Friday and they're mostly around 15p. Some have been 20p recently and one was 30p. Today I've earned 80p. It doesn't sound a lot but it didn't take long and if I earn that every day it will be £4 at the end of the week. If you add that to all the other surveys it's worth doing for a bit of extra income. I should add that I'm retired and have time to do all this.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I've done that and can go days with no new items, also I do not qualify for many (quite a lot seem child based) so just get the sorry page. I have had one item today that was for 15p. It asked me two central heating question the third asked where I lived then I got the 'We're sorry, but this survey isn't quite for you.'
