Making cash from online survey sites - new MSE guide

I got a £15 Amazon Voucher in November, it was either 2300 or 2500 points for that, sorry can't quite remember exactly now. When you go to the Rewards catalogue page there is a drop down menu with a list of points values, you click on each points value and it shows you what rewards options are available to you for that amount of points although it doesn't seem to tell you the monetary values until you actually redeem. Hope that helps.


Update: Managed to find the info in my rewards history, it was definitely 2300 points for the £15 Amazon Voucher.

That's great, thanks for your help! Just wanted to check if it was worthwhile.

Hi, I have started doing surveys online but have started to read that some sites including Toluna find ways not to pay you. I actually enjoy doing the surveys but don't want to be doing them for nothing. I have had problems with Vivatic not crediting my account when I have finished one of their surveys. I have emailed them but so far have not had a response. I guess that I am looking for some reassurance that this is legit.:(

They are paying but it looks like it takes longer and longer. They used to process my vouchers usually in approx. 2 months (although it said 4-6 weeks on website). With the last batch it took 3.5 months! So I guess many people would not be very patient to wait that long. It does not bother me as long as they pay me. It is not like I would earn 100s of interest on those vouchers.
That was in regards to payment... However there is another factor why I would not recommend Toluna unless you have plenty of time. Toluna pays lowest rate of all pretty much. They swarm you with surveys so the amount will build up but often you are doing surveys 20 min long for 25-40p which is well below what you can earn elsewhere. I would recommend few other companies where you have to collect points for longer before payout but at least you know that you are earning decent £/hr. I.e. populuslive (do not know why it is not in top 20 sites on MSE), newvistalive, mindmover, globaltestmarket, ipoll and many others.
It is like they recommend swagbucks - but you have to spend half of your life to earn decent money there.

I would like another survey which is similar to valuedopinion. - Sends you a high street voucher directly to your home address.

Any recommendation? No e-voucher please or paypal/cheque (got enough sites for these).

Thank you for the help and I know what you mean about swagbucks, I do use their site but to earn any sort of money I would need to be on the all the time.
