You need to change it though as Lightspeed does not exist anymore.

Panel Opinion is rubbish, you have to sign people up to it "JUST" to be able to get survey invites, no sign ups = no invites to surveys

Hi Cally

Sorry your right, Lightspeed did have a name change to 'mysurvey'!

And that's fair enough your entitled to your opinion, hence the reason why these forums are so useful...From my past experiences I found panelopinion very good, I've never invited anyone and still often receive surveys, so i don't think it works on that basis

However I did spend quite a long time filling in all the profile questions ( i guess that helps if you haven't/didn't do it?)


Have a great weekend!

I have been a member of various survey sites for over a year now. Here's a list with pros and cons:

VALUED OPINIONS- pros-consistent surveys; cash-out at £10 in vouchers; vouchers for a wide-range of sites. Cons- you do not receive credit instantly to your account; screened out( ie you answer 10 or so questions and are told you do not qualify) on occasion with no reward.

IPSOS- pros- well designed site with reasonably frequent and interesting surveys; Cash-out at £10 for vouchers; even when screened out you receive a small award. Cons- it takes 1380 points to cash out- an odd scoring system, surveys generally are for 100-250 points.

MYSURVEY- pros- frequent survey invitations; cash out at £5 for vouchers when reach 550 points so quite quick; wide range of vouchers available. Cons- occasional screen-outs for no reward(or prize draw entry); their own surveys are quite long, about 25 minutes for 50 or 80 points.

OPINION WORLD-pros- frequent surveys, cash out at £10; wide range of vouchers available. Cons- frequent screenouts for no reward, even after 10+ questions. I've had a few technical problems with this site and support from help centre was poor.

TOLUNA- pros- loads of surveys. Cons- scoring system is 80,000 points equals a £15 voucher, surveys are between 1,500 and 8,000 points so not very transparent and so more difficult to work out in moneatary terms the value of each survey. Very frequent screenouts and help centre is a joke, very poor customer service.

YOUGOV- pros- interesting surveys(at least for me); rewards are decent- ten minute survey for £1. Cons- the dreaded £50 threshold, takes 18 months or so to reach £50, at least for me.

JUST THE ANSWER- pros- £5 cash out for 500 points, surveys are between 50 and 200 points so can be quick to get a reward. Cons- surveys can be infrequent.

I'd recommend Valued Opinions, Ipsos and Mysurvey as good sites to start on.

Others I've joined Surveyhead, Crowdology,My Voice and One Poll. I'll post pros and cons later if anybody wants.

Lightspeed merged with MySurvey

Plenty of good suggestions here - My favourites at the momentm mainly based on the payment for your time:

Global Test Market - my biggest earner
My Voice - Really interesting, quick surveys
Opinium Research - Quick surveys for 50p a go
Populus Live - Pretty good payment for the time taken but their "£1 for 5 minutes" is a bit off the mark.

ok i been doing surveys for about a month and base on my opinion i think the best is opinion outpost. i have managed to get £20 however lately they are becoming less frequent but still good. plus they have prize draws etc.

onepoll - well i figure if i go at my current rate i will get £40 after about a year - say no more.

valued opinions - good frequent surveys and i think they are a good site to use. the pending money however is pretty anoying.

ipsos - good surveys and i have done product testing too which is pretty good. The only downside is due to the high threshold to get points into rewards you kinda dont wanna claim and go back to 0 after all the effort.

Globaltestmarket - good frequent surveys,had no problems. nearly at the 1000 points!!

newvistalive - only get a couple a week but they are like £1/£2.50 surveys so its still worth it.

panelopinion - joined, got one 15p survey and gave up.

Thanks for that. I am doing my assignment tomorrow so hopefully will be ok. Do u think ragdoll may have other assignments of I do a good one or maybe they just select from survey sites.

I use Survey head and get around £15 a month from them.

Also One Poll because you can do a lot of very short surveys (10 questions ish) even though you have to get £40 to cash in they're great for days when I just can't be arsed to do full-blown surveys!

I've just started with Toluna who have the most available surveys of any site I've tried but it seems to take them ages to credit you the points for the surveys you've done.

All in all, I'd say read everyone's advice and pick the sites that suit you the best and go for it. It may not make you rich but it adds to money coming in for some mindless clicking
