    In my experience Pinecone is definitely the best but they only recruit at certain times. The pay is reasonable and they pay promptly. I joined loads of survey sites a year ago but pinecone is the only one I bother with now - I often found that survey sites were paying so little for the amount of time it took to complete the surveys.

    My favourite is crowdology and used to be Lightspeed Panel but they closed. Saying that i have seen many offers for them trying to get me to sign up so maybe theyre back open?

    I use a variety but I do find Pinecone to be the best.
    I also make regular redemption thresholds on Toluna, Valued Opinions, GlobalTestMarket and Survey Network.

    Hope this helps.

    I agree Pinecone are the best, I also do onepoll.com but it takes ages to get to £40 but getting there, also do YouGov.

    I actually got into pinecone through a different survey group. You can't sign up like with other surveys and you can't be invited easily, we have to get an email sent to us to forward to someone else. But I already have a list of people who want invites and no invite to give :o

    I think I was invited through opinion world, but don't quote me on that. Opinion world is pretty good to me, but some people don't like it. I think you have to be the right age and that appears to be quite young : )

    My oldest one to be with is mysurvey, formerly lightspeed, I've been with them for 5 years now. I love it and they helped me when my account got broken, I was not particularly active until about 3 years ago (still managed to earn enough to get small presents for previous boyfriend though lol) and for some reason my account was accidentally partially closed. Apparently it happened to many people, I emailed and I was actually emailed back that same day and it was fixed the next day. As far as I know this hasn't happened since.
