Apologies if this has already been mentioned but, having done a search today, I could not see any mention of Indiefield.

I have done a few surveys (online/telephone) for them and have found them to be excellent.

They also look for people to take part in discussion groups (mainly in the London area, though not exclusively) and use mystery shoppers on occasions. The fees are generous in my opinion.

I have no connection with the company other than the above, but found the information from a previous thread on this site.

If anyone would like to take a look: https://www.indiefield.net

I hope this helps someone.

I registered with these people and have done 2 online surveys. They said they'd pay by cheque, but I've not received anything (must be 3 weeks since the first survey) and nothing has appeared on my history page. Any ideas?

I have always been paid by cheque within 10 days, though it might depend on the surveys and when they receive payment from their customer.

Having said this, only one appears on my history page, which I cannot explain.

I can only say that my experience with their customer services has been excellent, so I suggest you contact them.

I did one a while back (quick telephone survey, paid £2) and it did take a few weeks to come. Actually, ive done another survey for them this weekend (another £2) so will be interesting to see how long it takes to arrive!!!

There are some phone calls on REyes, Look under "Assignments in other locations" and they are in peoples names i.e. Jo King.

Please can I have some advice... have just accepted a job (my first!) from grass roots, I need to find out about tax etc. I don't earn and am way below the tax threshold wi my benefits, do i have to still tell the tax office that I am doing mystery shopping and fill in a tax form, even though I will not come anywhere near to the tax threshold? thanks!

I'm in the exact same position as you. I am giving them a couple of weeks and then will contact them. Unfortunately, a lot of the high paying stuff is in London (well unfortunate that I'm in Scotland).

Yes, you'll have to tell the tax and benefits people. Your tax return should be dead simple, but I would advise you to start keeping proper records NOW so things don't slip and you can spend the minimum amount of time tying everything together at the end of the tax year
