    The other day, I did a suvey on iPos that said on the dashboard it was for 50 points, but after I completed the survey, I didn't get any points. I wasn't screened out the survey.

    Has this happened to other people?

    Yes, I'm guessing it was the same 50 point survey recently I also completed and got 0 for.

    I used the contact form on website, they eventually got back to me, and have passed it onto the appropriate department. Apparently I will hear back when they have a reply themselves.

    I haven't heard back but 50 points with the heading, Other, Survey have been added to my account.
  • I’d been doing Ipsos Isay surveys for a few years, and they were indeed a half decent survey site for payouts.
    Then, out of the blue, the surveys stopped loading.
    Sent them a message.

    They responded by saying my profile now no longer corresponded with the type of person they were looking for!

    Hmmm, just as well I hadn’t amassed too many points, but still lost them.

    They thanked me for my time and that was that.

    What the hell is that all about?

    My advice, just like MSE, is to immediately cash in as soon as you reach enough points, say, for a £5 Amazon gift card, otherwise you’ll lose the lot if this happens to you.

    So, in short, no, they’re NOT the leading/top survey site in the UK.

    They behave just like the other survey sites out there.

    Other inscrutable sites inc. Branded Surveys, Prime Opinion, and LifePoints.

    I’m not saying they don’t pay out, but you’ll be spending hundreds, if not thousands of hours for measly payouts.
