How much will you do a survey for?

I get some surveys offering 50p for 30 mins and think I'd spend more on electricity doing it.
What length of time survey do you do for what amount of pay/reward?

    Depends on the survey. 50p for a survey that actually completes is much better than 0p for spending 25 minutes undertaking a survey only to get 'screened-out' before the end.

    One thing I have discovered is that depending on the site, the same survey from the same company can pay anywhere between 75p and £1.

    Personally I think some take the !"£$on surveys. The more people who do them, the less they pay.

    It really does depend on the survey. If it's a really quick one (ie like how onepoll used to be, a few clicks and you're done for 20p) then I really don't mind doing them at all.

    If they're over 30 minutes though, I want something decent for doing it. I'd say at least £1.50, if not more. And some sites pay that so I just go with them more than the other ones that offer 50p.
