  • One month ago today Onepoll sent me an email saying I had not logged into my account for a year and that they missed me and wanted me to come back.

    I had given up with it because I got sick of trying to reach forty quid by doing a couple of 5p surveys a day. Even though they were very short surveys.

    Anyway, I logged into my account and found I had a balance of £24.15. There were a few surveys available, so I did them and carried on logging in every day.

    Now, exactly one calendar month later my balance is £37.10. So I've done, near enough, 13 quid in one month.

    If it keeps up like this, and they pay me when I reach £40, I'll keep doing them.

    Well, I made it, just crossed the £40 mark and requested a payment.

    It says up to 10 days for a paypal payment, so we shall see how long they take.

    Account now down to 10p !

    I would say it is these days, as there seem to be more surveys and none for 5p.

    As I said earlier, it took me ages to get to £24 then I gave up for a year. Then when I started again I got £13 in one month. If it stays like that I should make £40 in 3 months. Not bad for what the surveys are.

    The trick is to log in as often as you can, so you catch the surveys before they have reached their quota.
  • They are worth doing them for the £/Time ratio.

    However, the only problem is the risk that by the time you earn the cashout amount, their business situation could easily change, as it has done for a lot of these sites and they could go out of business and with it your cash.

    So as long as its not the only one you do, carry on.

    That's what I thought when they started, but since I've gone back it is much better.

    As I said, I made £13 in one month. I cashed out on Friday, leaving 10p in my account, and now I've just done 2 surveys and it's up to £2.40. So that's £2.30 in 2 days (No surveys on Sat and Sun). If it keeps up like that I'll make £40 in a month or two. Many survey sites don't even add the money to your account until a month after you do the survey, so the risk is the same in my book.

    I got it too.

    But a word of warning for people who haven't done it yet. I missed out one question, in the big boxes where there are lots of question. When I hit the submit button it said something like "Please answer all of question 22", but then it removed ALL of my answers for questions with a radio button.

    I had to do 90% of the survey again!
