    I do Pinecone (very good) and am signed up for Populuslive - don't bother with that - I have had 6 surveys in around 2 months - after a few questions I always get screened out - just a waste of time, although they make promises of good payments.
    I also do YouGov - regular surveys, but not all are paid with points - some are for entry into a prize draw for cash and you need 5000 points anyway to get £50 payout - that has taken me 2 years! Plus they are becoming a little unreliable e.g. not crediting my account with points or crediting me with 50 when the survey invite says it will be 100. They do reply to emails but take about 10 days to do so.

    iv managed to catch the banner for pinecone last night, but not heard anything since signing up. anyone know how long it takes to hear if you're successful?

    also, my partner has signed up to valued opinions, again not had any surveys sent through? do they only send ones occassionally?

    I have been trying to get 1,000 points from My Survey since the beginning of November 2010. They have been deducted from the My Survey account but no credited to my Nectar card! Despite several emails I have got absolutely nowhere and am on the verge of giving up!

    I have been doing Springboard surveys for a few months now, dont get that many surveys but did win £50 Amazon voucher in one of their monthly draws!

    I'm new to surveys and only signed to Valued Opinions after joining here in the autumn.
    Get about one or perhaps two a week - wondered today if I actually had any credit etc and found I've just got over £10 so can ow claim a ouncher (Tesco, Amazon etc - quite chuffed!!).

    Re Pinecone - just looked but nowhere to sign up.

    i do toluna and mingle

    has anyone ever won anything from the sweepstake on toluna? i get loads of 'entries' every month but no winnings....is this just a con?

    tried to sign up to valued opinions but it said im already registered, but not recognising my email or log in, hmmmm. :mad:

    I had this experience last year- do you get an error after you request your password details? After a few emails it turned out that they had deleted my account due to some flim flam reason (something to do with the emails being sent to my spam box) and they re-instated my account and points.

    Yeah, I'm a member of These guys but they seem to be affiliated with Opinion world. I have done surveys with one company and end up getting the rewards from another. Well, I say that but I don't think half of the surveys I do for Chooz get recorded. I would heartily recommend opinion world tho...

    I also joined heaps, but now only do 1 or 2, i get bored easily and find the cash slow to increase with these things. So far i'm finding Valued Opinion and of course P1ne Cone to be the best of the bunch.

    I agree with Valued Opinion, i'm not registered to Pine Cone.

    The reason I signed up was to ask about Toluna, I did a search and found this thread. I joined Toluna in October, did enough surveys to qualify for a £15 Debenhams reward which I claimed on Dec 16th. I have still not received it and since requesting that reward I have not received a single survey invite from Toluna. Not one.

    Valued Opinions I requested a £10 Tesco voucher at approximately the same date and have already received it and still get the same amount of survey invites.

    Is this a standard thing with Toluna? It just leads me to think that they don't like people who cash out so they don't invite them to surveys.
