I have been on MSE for quite a while now and love how the challenges help to motivate me and show me new ways to make some cash.

One thing i used to be good at was completing surveys and even though i know they can make me some extra money i have recently lost my motivation for doing them. I know if i could commit to doing just 1 every day i would really be able to boost my income again.

If you would like to join in the challenge then do feel free - everyone is more than welcome.

The only 'rule' i would suggest is you only count the surveys you have completed for this challenge - feel free to record any you have tried and been screened out of (this might actually show us a pattern and highlight any companies worth avoiding) but just don't count them in your total :)

If you are new to doing surveys for cash or voucher incentives or just want to check out what other ones are around you will find a list of survey sites you can try below. Please note i will try to include some basic information about each site but as cash out values etc can change then please check the details for yourself :)



As this is a new challenge I will be adding to this list and the info provided as we go along! The list of sites is growing daily and is already quite long so if you want to just skip over to the challenge posts you should do that now :)

SYMBOL KEY

S+ These sites are not just for surveys, and offer other ways to earn as well. These may not have surveys as their main earning option but will provide surveys as well.

I These sites are by invitation only.

R These sites offer a referral option.

There are no links provided as per MSE policy, if you wish to join a site you can: search on the internet, ask a member on this thread, or look on the referral board :)

Please note I have not personally used all of these sites, any i have used have a mini review added.

Sites are in alphabetical order - I hope you find this info useful!

My experience with this site is very positive, there are a lot of ways to earn but i stick mainly with surveys and videos (just my preference) - i can reach cash out level maybe once every 4-6 weeks doing this.

Personally i choose sainsbury's vouchers - 3000 points = £10 but there are a huge amount of really good gifts to choose from. Usually receive the voucher within 7-10 days.

    Ooh can I join please? I tend to get frustrated though when I get screened out of a few and give up. This might make me keep motivated to find one I can do.

    I did a p1necone survey yesterday. I'll try and do at least one this evening. I keep trying Toluna. They send me loads every day but they seem to constantly screen me out.

    Yes of course you can join jenjen :) welcome to the challenge! I get really frustrated as well at times so no doubt we will be using :mad: on here at times :rotfl:

    I haven't done Toluna for ages, keep thinking about going back on there but if i remember right i did better with the short polls than the full surveys!
    Must add Toluna up top as well! Thanks for the reminder ;)
