Getting paid for surveys - where please?

I started doing surveys this month (joined a whole load of them) and it is very time consuming :eek:

I am thinking of maybe packing it in, although I might carry on with Maxi Miles The surveys from them have been easy and short. Also points earned from the surveys can be topped up when making online purchases.

Not strictly survey-only sites but swagbucks and superpoints are pretty good and don't take up much time. You get points for watching vids, playing games etc as well as surveys too.

Don't think I'm allowed to post referral links but if anyone wants one then feel free to PM me

I've been using get-paid.com for surveys. had my first payout yesterday. true all these surveys do take up a fair bit of time, but i have 2 screens.. one job hunting and the other surveying!

Mysurvey, globaltestmarket, maximiles, pinecone and ipsos.

They're all a bit hit and miss - a bit like buses, none for ages then lots come at once. Pinecone pays best (£3 a survey) but I'm lucky if I get one a month. Globaltestmarket are getting annoying because you can do quite a lot of the survey before getting screened out and they don't give half as many points as they used to. Plus most of the sites pay in vouchers rather than cash.
And yes, if you work out the hourly rate it's not worth it. But I do shift work so I can't say much in advance when I'd be available so focus groups are out. And I do them at night when I'm sitting watching telly, so it's not taking up time when I'm doing anything useful, and last year I got about £250 in total which I used for my Christmas shopping. (Amazon vouchers etc.)
Works for me.

Edit - I only get asked for a contact number for specific surveys which I usually say no to, and even then it's generally for you to text them rather than anyone phoning you. I've never had a phone call from any survey site because I've always said no to anything except online stuff.

interesting thread, I just completed a survey recently for a cigarette company and they paid 80$ for like 1.5 hours of my time. Some weird questions though, like how often I think about death... lol
