One Poll

I have been with one poll for about a year and have been completing their surveys. I am currently at 39.95 and have been for ages!! I regularly received surveys, usually one a day for 10p but since I have got to 39.95 there are no more surveys coming through!! Is this a scam? will it get to the 40.00?!

I will not b starting over again when I reach 40.00 as it has taken months to get to this stage!

    Hey,

    I'm current at £39.70 and have just completed 2 surveys (one about Throwing away Food and the other about Jubilee Celebrations which was only 2 questions). So hopefully I should reach my target within the next 7 days. I usually complete several surveys a week so I'll report back if I get 'stuck' on £39.95 :)


    I started with OnePoll in 2009 and had an 18 month break from it and started doing it again at the start of the year.

    Unfortunately this is one of the little "gremlins" ( being charitable !!! ) with Onepoll. Check out their Facebook page - they certainly do restrict the surveys once you get to about £39.90. I don't know why, and I fail to see what they gain from it, short of exasperating their members. The good news is, you will eventually get a survey to hit the £40 mark, and they do pay out - once you've cashed out, hey presto all those surveys that your friends did a few days ago will magically appear for you !!!! I don't know if this practise is illegal or just immoral, but on the upside they are one of the better payers overall, so my advice is stick with it.

    I have checked out their FB page many times, and it seems to be an extremely small number of members who are complaining about it, and a lot less on this forum.

    If it was something they did all the time, you'd expect tens of thousands of people complaining about it, not just ten!
  • why dont you introduce a friend to one poll and as soon as they complete 1 survey - you get credited with 50p - this will make your total over £40

    I was in this situation a few weeks ago, stuck on £39.95 for over a week with no surveys then one came along for 10p. Was then able to redeem. That was my 3rd £40 and have had no trouble getting the money, you just have to wait about 2 weeks or so for payout.

    As soon as you get over the threshold and reset to zero you will suddenly have lots of surveys. Funny that!!! is frustrating - sure they want most people to quit before have to pay out

    Sorry to butt in, I am stuck on £36 for 4 months and this would be my second payment.

    I thought that if I downloaded the One Poll app it may give me more surveys. So I downloaded it on my DH smartphone but it wont let me log in. Is the App knows the phones email address is different or do I need to register somehow?

    Well, logged in this evening and there were two surveys available. Managed to do one of them for 20p (about Olympic Brands) but was rejected for the other 10p survey. So now i'm at £39.90. Just 10p left to go ;)

    Reached £40 just over a month ago and although the surveys slowed down a bit I almost earned as much that week as I normally do. They also paid out to Paypal on the 28th day after rquesting payment without being chased. I've had to chase the 3 previous payments so in my opinion they have improved recently
