    yeah they do lots political surveys and things low payout per survey and don't send you a cheque till you earn £50 but they are reputable

    A friend has filled out about 40 surveys so another 10 and he should be due £50 if its for real. I just wonder if its a way to gain personel info about you and youre opinions. Sorry I think its between 50p and £1 a survey

    i filled about 2 or 3 questions by now, i didn't know you need to have £50 before you get paid. So i think was wasting my time

    I've been with them for 18 months or so and can confirm they do pay the £50 :)

    I get notice of surveys via email from them every so often which leads you to their site to fill it in. The money paid per survey varies - I've had minimum 50p and £1.75 a couple of times! The higher amount of money tends to be for longer surveys or more urgent (have only a day or two to respond).

    It's mostly political questions and I've seen the results of their surveys mentioned in papers and on TV news too.

    It took me to prompt them via email to pay the £50 but got the cheque within a couple of days and have already built my balance up to £10.

    It's money for nothing and can be interesting too!

    P.S. They don't store any personal info about your opinions - it's all lumped in together with everybodies!

    No problems. I have moved it over here as it's not a freebie as such. Hope that's okay. Not heard of this particular survey site myself.

    Been a member of the yougov panel for about 6 months now and get between 3 and 6 surveys a month. Nearly have my first £50 and to be honest I doubt if I have spent more then an hour on the surveys so its good money. Good thing is the surveys are tailored to you unlike some sites where you start a survey only to be told you dont fit their criteria
