    No need to spam me with private messages asking if I want to join your company as they are hiring.

    Pure Profile – I quite enjoy this site am now up to £76 with them – not sure whether to cash it in though just in case. I will continue as I actually like the surveys on here :)

    Pinecone Research – never had any problems with them. Get a good amount of surveys which pay £4 a time plus have had quite a few products to test. Would never leave them as I know how hard it is to become a member :D

    One Poll – must admit my least favourite. Takes ages to reach the £40 payout level, surveys are pretty crap and I quite often get screened out of them resulting in no payment which is frustrating. Also the structure of the surveys isn’t very good. A, considering ditching when I get to the next payout (probably another five years the way I’m going!)

    You Gov – Have £52 sat in there atm, similarly to Pure Profile am deciding whether to cash in. Does take a while to reach the payout (this has taken me two years) but I do enjoy the surveys as they are on interesting topics based on news , politics and current affairs rather than product concepts / purchasing habits. I will probably stay with them :)

    I will be watching this thread with interest as I will be going on my maternity leave in a few weeks and will therefore be looking to join some more survey sites in the next few months :D

    Pureprofile - On Payments page. I'd request a payout.
    You can pay your account balance into your savings or cheque account, subject to the following conditions:
    Your bank account name must be the same name as your pureprofile account.
    The maximum amount you may withdraw is 50.00 in any 60 day period.
    Transactions will take at least 21 business days to process.
    Incorrect details will lead to payment delays.

    I would cash in, I always cash in on any site when I reach the minimum needed. You never know when they are going to close down and not pay you, or delete your account for some mystery infringement of the rules.

    Agreed it seems like utter madness to me to leave cash I've earned in someone elses bank accounts! Even if all I do with it is let it languish in my 'spare' current account I'd much rather have it available to me and not earning interest in my accounts than find I need some extra money and have to wait weeks to get my hands on it.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Does anyone know the payout time of Rewarded Opinions when being paid by Paypal? I cashed out £40-worth of Rewarded Opinon points (4000) a couple of weeks ago and not heard a whisper, so if someone knows to put my mind at rest, I'd appreciate it.

    As a few peers have mentioned on here, Lightspeed Panels used to be great yet I've not had a single survey invite in 6 months, and my balance stands at £38 (they don't payout until £50) so that's irking me no end.

    Is Toluna better now? I used them a couple of years ago - when I cashed out my points for an HMV Voucher,it never arrived. I emailed them weeks later and they said something like "we can guarantee we sent your voucher, perhaps it was in your junk folder and you deleted it by mistake". I couldn't believe their response as I check all my mail, including junk. Anyways, if Toluna has improved then perhaps I'll give them another go. Think I'll give PureProfile a go too.

    Not sure

    Wrong name here as Lightspeed Panels pay out at much less than £38 and is now called My Survey UK
