    I had an e-mail 2 Oct re a £200 survey win which stated "It can take a while for the prize to be arranged and sent out". So don't worry too much yet. I expect it'll take around 6 wks (28 working days)

    Well done btw
  • Thank you! And well done to you too! x

    Companies tend to be slow with cheques. You may even find they will wait until early November to print it (as it makes October's accounts a tiny bit better). Some companies may only do a "cheque run" once each month and yours will be included in the next one. I would give them 5 weeks before chasing it up.
  • Thank you fire**fly and One-Eye! It hopefully will be just in time for xmas! xx

  • Hello,
    I had an email from IPC on 29/08/12 to say that I'd won £250 in a survey. It inspired me to do more and thats when I joined up here.
    My cheque arrived this morning!!! So its been 7 and 1/2 weeks.
    Congratulations on your win!
