    I have seen 4 today, screened on 1 and 40p from the others.
  • Since I started checking the site a few times a day (easy for me, I sit at the computer all day!) my account has been building quite rapidly. I've found a lot of the surveys don't stay available for long, once or twice I've seen there are 4 or 5 there, and by the time I've done one some of them are already gone :(

    They only send push mails on the app if they are avaliable

    Didn't think of that, thanks :D Will try logging in during the day. Can you do these on desktop too?

    But surely the notifications tell me when there are any available on the site? Do I have to log in as well?

    I've been on onepoll for a while now - and have just hit my £40 payout. I found I do get push notifications on the iphone and via email, but only occasionally. Log on and you'll find a lot more surveys. You do need to log on fairly regularly tho!
    Thank you to all the compers!

    I joined about a year ago. Went through a long, long phase where there was absolutely no surveys counting towards your payout (and I never won owt), and it seems that most of the surveys want parents - so I've got a grand total of about £4. I started getting more and more via pinecone tbh - although they're just luncheon vouchers I give those ones to hubby for his work meals.

    dizzyblonde, pinecone pay through Paypal as well as by vouchers. Onepoll has been pretty useless for me -- I have about 4.00 after being a member for so long, I can't remember when I joined.

    I joined in February this year, first payout in August and now I'm back up to about £15.

    I had a bit of boost while I was inbetween jobs and could check frequently, but even now I'm working full time with no computer around I still think its worth it for me. I guess it depends how much £40 means to you.

    My best payer has been Lightspeed which pays paypal and you can cash in at £3.

    Valued Opinions and Ipsos are good too but pay in Amazon vouchers so I just save them and everybody gets their christmas presents from Amazon!

    Has anybody had any luck with Global Test Market? I seem to get screened out of every one they send me and I'm not even sure my points are being added correctly.
  • I'm finding that I'm getting a lot of sweepstake surveys from Global Test Market and really don't bother with them anymore. I used to build up a lot of points when they offered 5 points for getting screened out but now thats stopped its taking ages to get to the threshold.

    Onepolls quick and easy and I the £40 is a bonus no matter how long it takes to get there.

    I had one payment earlier this year that took around 6 months to get to. It's been at least 8 months since that payout and I'm currently on £36 (just over) and by the time I actually reach £40, I reckon that will extend to 10 months, maybe longer so it's definitely getting slower. I've had a fair few 10p or 15p surveys over the last few weeks (with the odd 20p survey thrown in that I don't always qualify for) but before that, I was only getting 5p ones or nothing at all. It's really slow going though, I agree!

  • I get 10p and 15p ones on average with the odd 20p one thrown in.

    I have only screened out once in the 2 weeks I have been doing it and I am sitting at £6.60 already !

    Its well worth going on several times a day but I can only do this while off work, once I go back to work I will probably slow down like the rest of you.
