I have been doing this for a long time I have over 4500 points at the moment so I'm going to claim them soon. Any idea how much I'll get for these and when the best time is to claim if there is a best time?

I noticed recently they have dropped the amount of points they give per survey also that they have stopped giving 5 points when you are not elligible to complete a survey is this going to be a regular thing is it the same for everyone?
Thanx

    According to their FAQ's, you get 5 US cents per point and will be paid by cheque in your local currency.

    I claim as soon as I hit the threshold of 1000 points - can't see the need to wait especially as the lead time of sending you the cheque is quite long.

    I'm still getting those minimum points even if I don't qualify. Possibly it doesn't show if it's another company's survey they are marketing?

    How often do you get surveys?
    I've registered with them and heard nothing so far apart from acceptance emails.

  • Usually 1 or 2 a day, but it does vary.

    I've noticed I never get the points for not completing a survey. Which is kind of annoying since I almost never qualify to take them. I put this down to the fact that I answer the questions honestly :)

    Funnily enough I never qualify either - wonder who's completing the surveys :confused:

  • in the email they say whether you'll get 5 points if you don't qualify. It's usually marked as 5-50 which means you get 5 points if you don't complete the survey and 50 if you do. If there is only one number, this means that you only get the points if you complete the survey.

    The number of surveys you get depends on your profile. I usually get a few per week.

    I've been a member since the summer 2006 and have had one £25 cheque and am half way towards the next. This along with valued opinions is probably my favourite.
    :D

    Yep don't think the amount has reduced. Plus I'm still getting 5 if screened out of a survey. Just varies with survey - can be 15 or as big as 80 depending on the survey. Defintely no point waiting after 1000 points - you'll be losing interest on that money and does take a month or more for cheque to come.

    :confused: :huh:

    Silly question but have you checked whether you've completed all the sections on your profile?

    I get surveys every week but very rarely qualify so my points are going up in 5 point increments! :rolleyes: I'm on about 650 points at the minute.
