  • Is there anything valuable to redeem at Maximiles? I've got almost 4000 points and all I see is rubbish I-Phone covers and dodgy DVDs.

    I redeemed my points for Sainsbury's gift card but it was above 6000 I think.

    Does anyone think Maximiles is worth doing now?
    Since they changed the supermarket/high street vouchers from £10 to £25 i find it just takes too long to get to payout

    I agree with you princesst84, very slow going now.

    It's not one I would recommend to friends any more. Very few surveys, virtually no points for clicking videos, hardly any click for point emails. My points account is crawling so slow I'm not sure it'll get up to another payout now in my lifetime!

    I agree, it is slow going but I never considered it as a main earner and I wouldn't just giv up on it. Personally, I will just do whenever I receive a survey and odd couple of videos and offers perhaps and redeem when I have enough points. Already have around 2900 points since redeeming in early May.

    I click all e-mails, attempt most surveys sent and do odd signing up for newsletters etc

    I have recently gone through and updated my profile surveys on Maximiles.

    I've now been getting surveys every single day from 80 upwards. I've earned around 1500 so far this month, just for attempting those surveys. I attempt them after all my usual paying survey sites (I work from home) and still find I get into a nice amount. 5 points for each DQ too.

    I'd suggest going through and rechecking the profile surveys even if nothing has changed. They can be found by going to My Account > My Profile.

    Hope it helps someone.

    Good point Katy, I have done the same and perhaps that's why I get a good number of surveys!
