    Im still confused with the bingo. Do I choose a room and select buy 18 tickets and then do this again? I thought the 18 tickets were just for the one game? Not for five? Im should of been blonde.
    How many surveys do most people do a day? I joine 3 sites so far and on alot i start them and then get told Im not eligible.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
  • Zangels - how I have read it is that you go into a room, click on 18 auto, then buy tickets, then let them play while writing some dribble on the boards, then when the game is over repeat. 10 posts later, 1000 points richer (-the expenditure for the two games) you're done.

    As to the surveys don't get disheartened that you keep getting booted off, it happens a lot. As Elysia and Ddraig said this is a busy time of the year for surveys just keep chipping away, soon enough you'll have your first voucher :)

  • Hi,
    I have been doing surveys online for about 12 years!
    Over the years I have found they can all be frustrating, particulary with glitches at the end of a survey which prevents a payout!
    My current favs are:
    SurveyNetwork- Just joined in November and earned £60 so far. They have at least three surveys a day which pay £3 if all are completed. If you don't qualify for a survey you can continue until you either do- or run out of surveys! Money earned is added to your account in a couple of days. And at £20 you can cash in to your Paypal account. It takes about 5 to 10 days to arrive and there are no charges from Paypal against what you have earned. Highly Recommended!

    Valued Opinions- For me regular surveys which I often qualifiy for. You can get to the £10 pay out quite quickly and I have earned about £200 from them this year. Anyone doing the £30 "Drinks diary" with them at the moment? Recommended!

    MySurvey- Now combined with lightspeed panel. Over the years I have earned quite a bit with both survey sites. Joining together seems to give the best of both worlds. The reduced number of points needed to cash out and Paypal from Lightspeed. And 5 points credited for any surveys not completed from Mysurvey. The site does have some annoying glitches such as "you have paused the survey" messages when you start a survey. And surveys that have their full quota as soon as they appear! But even so it is a good payer and I have about £75 from both this year. Recommended!

    Surveyhead- Started out as quite a good site and have earned about £90 since joining in Oct 2009. Tends to list one survey regulary each day. This used to pay about 62p but now pays 42p :( And yet the same survey on Surveynetwork pays £1! So I now tend to do any other surveys they list which usually pay more for less time! Pay out is at £15 and takes 4 to 6 weeks to reach your paypal account. Fairly recommend but not as good as it used to be!

    Newvista- Rather irratic number of surveys which used to pay £1 for every 5 minutes. In a bid to increase the number of surveys they have increased the amount of time. So on average £1 for 10 minutes and £1.50 for 20 minutes etc! Still I have earned £150 in the last three years and almost up to another £50. :) The cheque is sent about a month after you reach that amount. Recommended but not perfect!

    Maximiles- Been with this company and its predecessor Ipoints for years now. And have earned loads!! About £200 this year from clicking on e-mails, the odd purchase and the rather interesting surveys! Recommended.

    I do other surveys such as Rewarded Opinions which has been good with a couple of £20 surveys but it seems to have gone off the boil recently with next to no surveys for me. Toluna a bit of a mixed bag. I have earned £30 since they merged with ciao who I had been previously with. I prefered ciao where could get cash at a low £5 payout. Now you need 80,000 points for a £15 voucher which takes weeks to arrive- even when its electronic! Not keen!
    Pure Profile- I have earned quite a bit from this site but you do need to check regulary as they hardly ever notify you of any surveys. At least they pay you 5p for any survey you take but don't qualify for. And unusually do listen to if you have a glitch and after investigating actually pay you! So not bad!!

    The most depressing thing I find on surveys is where you don't need to put in your age but just click the box and there it lists all the ages you were when you started doing surveys on that site!! Doesn't time fly!!

    Zangels - if you look on the right hand side of page it says Auto if you press 18 on there it will buy 18 tickets for each of the next 5 games :)

    Thanks, so i need to do that every day to use 2000 points every week? If you dont redeem each week the points roll over then? I hope so with the surveys. Im sure I will get used to doing them.
    Your rite it will be great to have extra money for christmas.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    Twinklekat - you're spot on.

    Zangels - the 18 auto is the 18 button at the top right. Your points earned will stay there until you use them, it's the 2000 points of bingo you NEED to do in the week before a redeem.

    Thanks so much Fly-catchers, that's some list. It'd be great to have an expert on the board, please say you'll join in, it'll keep us all motivated. :)
