    This is a classic. When I clicked through to do a survey I saw this screen:

    Amazingly generous!

    Pureprofile have dropped the daily next button search too, which used to pay 5p a day! :( It'll take me years to get up to £25 again! :rolleyes:

    Have they actually officially stopped doing them, then? I mean, I noticed they hadn't done any for about a month but I didn't think it was permanent cos they're banging on in their blog about how wonderful the next button is... and they only just started doing the new style next button as well - it was basically the same idea but the page looked different with banner-style images on it instead of the big list of categories to choose from.

    I actually left a comment on their blog basically saying "if this next button is so amazingly wonderful then where the hell is it?" - funnily enough they haven't got around to putting it up yet...

    I'm annoyed because it hardly took me any time at all to reach my first £25, now I've been stuck at around £12 for months. I also did two surveys that they didn't pay me for, even though it said I'd completed it and 'please click here to receive your payment' - I complained and they just said "well it's in your history so you obviously did get payment". Um, no, you just added the survey to my history without crediting my account. Argh! I'm not going to give up, because eventually I will reach another payout even if it's in another year or so and doing the surveys really takes no effort at all, but it's just a pain that they made the website so crappy compared to how it was before. 5p a day might not sound much but it added up quickly and the surveys were a lot more frequent too.
  • I'm on £24 something... I do hope they dont drag their feet with payment when I reach £25. Its bad that we spend so long doing the surveys for them to then be so slow paying..

    how long has it taken you to reach 24 pounds?

    Is this worthwhile?
  • I cant put a time period on it, but they tend to pay better than a lot of the other companies... I now only use Mutual Points (only for the clickable emails), Pigsback, Global Test Market and Pure Profile.

    well when did you first make an account, and how much have you made since???

    so please confirm, that's 24 pounds in a year and a half??

    I think I'll pass on this... :)
  • Give me strength....... £25.30 in 16 months for 2 or 3 surveys per month!
