I've heard there are a few decent Survey sites but you would need a lot of time and most of the good sites are only available in the UK and US. There are better ways to make extra cash online

Care to elaborate?

There is a new-vista powered survey doing the rounds, must be sponsored by Tesco as it asks you to list which store you last did a shop in, asks some more questions before asking how much did you last spend in that Tesco stop.

I always get kicked out, so far my answers have ranged from £10 to £100. God knows what sort of answer they are actually looking for, or is it a trick to get data without paying out

System

Kite I get this survey frequently, I would imagine they want to know the specific areas, I lived in Essex and my local store is always the golden ticket to unlock the survey and get me all the way through. Always asking the same questions too so even quicker to answer.

I spend between £50-£150 each trip, it is a large standard Tesco, in Essex, I shop there with top up shops at Sainsburys, I also shop online sometimes, hope that is some sort of help in answering what they are looking for.

Good luck for next time

Piece of advice is to always take screen-dumps of the first page of the survey detailing what the reward is.

So if the survey site tries and scam you out of money (for example £2 for a survey but only paying 50p for a 40 minute survey), you have proof.

Opinionworld is one to watch.

I have made approx. £800 in vouchers/cash again this year on surveys[about £10 less than last year],so I thinx they are well worth doing for a few hours of your free time a year.Especially when you start thinking what £800 can buy.Like paying for all your car insurance/ car tax/mot/home insurance etc.

Would agree - I started in July and made about half that. Paid for my Crimbo presents. Takes a while to a wheedle out survey sites which are a waste of time.

I'm happy tonight, cashed out on YouGov

Just over 13 months I make it since I last cashed out

After some 4/5 years of doing surveys I decided not to this year, and discovered just how expensive Christmas can be without the extra £'s, vouchers etc., so will be back to it starting next week and following the tips and suggestions on here. I want to join as many as possible to start with then choose the ones that are right for me ie a good payout and regular surveys. I'm not expecting miracles but last year I earned in the region of £250 so hope to aim for that again. S

From my experience you stand no chance of getting credit (even with the screenshots) from following companies: ipoll, gratispoints, uk.mysurvey. They seem not to care if you complete survey and dont get credit.

All they will come back with "sorry the system is saying you didn't complete the survey".
