    DON'T stash your cash in these organisations, claim as soon as you can. That way you will became aware of payout problems sooner rather than later

    Also if a company goes under you would probably get nothing so unless the payout is better by hanging on I would always cash out once the minimum payout is reached.

    I'm on Valued Opinions but I don't often qualify for the survey... I've been stuck on £3.50 for a while now.

    Valued Opinion is good and I have had a few vouchers from them so far. But their screening is very annoying as often you do a lot of the survey before getting screened out.

    Also, twice in the last couple of months I have comleted surveys for which I have not been credited. You have to be careful.

    As for YouGov, as others have said, you best stay clear of them unless you are happy to work for free for a long time. It takes years to accrue the 5000 points required. They are an unscrupoulus and unethical organisation.

    Thanks for your comments guys, I think you have confirmed that Pinecone are the best.

    You don't need a referral or invite to join them, as far as I know they never pay for referrals but they only recruit every now and then.

    They were recruiting recently but I think they may have reached their quota now - I would give you a link but I'm not sure it is allowed, you can PM me if you want to give it a try :)
    If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :)
  • This was a great help. I've been thinking for a long while of doing these sites in order to get some extra cash.

    Toluna is going through a stage of hating me at the moment, so-far in May I've managed to get passed the "The maximum number of participants from your group have already entered this survey. But don't worry: we have many other surveys available right now." page.

    If it keeps going like this I might just say byebye to Toluna as it takes ages for the points to credit to the account and ages for the vouchers to finally arrive, I've been waiting on vouchers ordered back in February.

    Other sites:
    Valued Opinions - £10 every 6 weeks or so
    MySurvey - Depends but £10 a month on average
    Opionionworld - If you have a good night you can make £10 in one night, if you have a bad night it can take a while to credit. Has the plus of automatic paypal payments
    YouGov - £50 cheque every 22 months.
    The Mic - $15 a month to paypal, plus extras.
    OpinionBar - £10 bacs transfer every 3 months or so, surveys are slow with this site.

    As soon as I hit the minimum, I hit redraw, in case the company decides to take the points back or goes under.

    Bleaugh, Toluna have taken two months and counting to send me my Amazon voucher - how can it take so long, it's only an email - Valued Opinions seems to be able to send them instantly.... Seriously thinking of consigning Toluna to the survey graveyard..

    Not heard of the Mic - is that one any good?

    If toluma surveys always come back saying "The maximum number of participants from your group have already entered this survey. But don't worry: we have many other surveys available right now." then go to your account pages and press submitt to resubmitt your details. I have to do that every few days to prevent the message coming up and to allow me to do they surveys. To check everything is working click on 'my surveys' and a selection of tick boxes and options should appear to confirm your suitability for the current surveys

    Toluna may be slow but I earn £30 a month from them which is too good to turn down
