Advice re a survey site

Options
I joined onepoll at the end of December and am getting close to reaching the £40 target. When I do how do I claim payment? Will an area of the site come up that enables me to put my bank details in or do I have to phone them with it?

    Hopefully I'll be able to tell you tomorrow :D as I'm 10p away from my first £40.

    You don't need to phone them. When you get to £40 there are instructions on the website on how to claim.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Thought I'd update this.

    Strangely, after getting about 60p - 70p per day each weekday, today I have had no qualifed surveys at all. I hope this is not indicative of their tactics.

    The one survey that I did receive was about the Pill and considering that I am male, it was obvious that I would not qualify.

    I am 10p away from my first £40, and the surveys have dried up. If and when I get to £40 I wont to it again. Think it might be easier if I made things to sell perhaps.
    Waste not, want not!
    Slow and steady wins the race!

    I was almost at £40 payout level last week and surveys seemed to dry up for several days. My earnings generally average approximately £3 a week with OnePoll, and received fewer surveys during that week.

    However, yesterday the surveys resumed and this week so far have earned almost £2.

    To answer the initial poster, when you hit £40, a sign appears congratulating you on reaching payout. You are then asked for your email details if you wish to receive your payment through Paypal. I think you can also request payment directly to your bank account.

    OnePoll are a legitimate company and I've been a member for several years, receiving many payments from them.

    Good luck

    Thanks for the reassurance guys. Well done to all those nearing their £40 targets too.

    Had a 20p survey this morning, which I was able to complete and was then given a choice of BACS or PayPal for payment.

    It says payment will be made in 28 days.

    How do you's manage to make so much from this? I've was doin bits and pieces up until Nov last year, and then decided to make it part of my morning ritual to check for surveys. I complete maybe 2-3 a day and yet still have only made £15 from then - haven't even broke past £30 yet.

    Still gonna stick with it tho as its hard cash rather than vouchers which I forget clean about and never use.

    The surveys seem to appear at random times during the working day and don't hang around for that long, so if you are just checking it once in the mornings you will be missign a lot of them.

    I keep a browser open on the Overview page and check it every so often and do any surveys that appear.
