What do you do with survey earnings?

flubberyzing

I'm interested to know what those of you who do online surveys do with the earnings?

MySurvey - I cash out for a £5 Amazon voucher as soon as I qualify and apply it straight to my Amazon account.

IPSOS - I cash out for £10 Amazon vouchers as soon as possible also! The Amazon vouchers go towards treats for myself. Usually books or DVDs.

Consumer Pulse - I cash out at a £10 voucher every time. I generally save up the vouchers until I have about £40-£60 to spend at one shop. The past 6 months or so I've been ordering Next vouchers. I'm going to be swapping to Argos soon to save up for some bits for the house.

Dooyoo - Am working towards my 2nd £20 payout, but think I will stop with it after that. It's a lot of work for slow reward. Or is for me anyway. I know a lot of people love it.


How do you spend your earnings? As you can see, mine is basically a "treat" fund.

I am saving luncheon vouchers until I have enough for a weekly shop. I will then put the amount I have saved into paying off my debt.

I use to do Valued opinions but got fed up with it as it got to the stage you would be answering questions for more than 5 minutes before it would tell you they had enough responses/you were not suitable. Reminds me I must check it as I might have some amazon vouchers outstanding on it.

I save up Amazon vouchers between December and August for things I would like, or save it for a more expensive item I would like. Any Amazon vouchers I earn between September and November I use for my Christmas shopping.

I get leisure vouchers from Consumer Pulse and use them towards holidays - I have almost got enough for a hotel in Disneyland Paris and am plannng on going there in November this year.

If I get cash or Paypal payments I put them in a savings account and use it towards holidays.

Any sites which pay out cash, either direct as bank transfers (YouGov) or via Paypal (Opionionworld/Pinecone) go straight into my bank for general stuff.

If vouchers I will tend to select either supermarket (Sainsburys) or Amazon as I know I will be able to use them.

Amazon vouchers for Christmas/Birthdays/Covert Fun. (Alas, all too rare that latter.)
Capital Bonds spent on overpriced magazine for sons at WHSmiths.
Nectar points cashed in on Christmas stuff.

Its nice to be able to spend my survey money on the small things I purchase during the month like DVDs and blu rays etc. Makes a real difference to my monthly budget

If it's cash, it usually gets spent on bills. If it's vouchers, it goes towards Christmas/Birthdays. Or if it's supermarket vouchers, then it goes on food.

Swagbucks - started May 2012 earned probably around £100 worth vouchers however its really slowed down now so I get £5 amazon once a month rather than once a week but I use them on gifts or buy items for myself.

YouGov - Ive done that on and off for about 5 years, paid out 2 years ago £50 cheque and Im close to my second £50 but I did have a period of about 10 months maybe longer where I did no surveys with them. I cashed that and it went on bills.

Valued Opinions - began that May 2013, cashed out £10 boots 31st July after about 6 weeks and Im at £5.50 for next voucher. I will get boots again and use for Xmas shopping during the xmas points event (Spend £50 get £12 worth of points)

Dooyoo - Started same time as VO. I cashed out £20 Amazon last week and I will use this for Xmas gifts. Will save up again but unsure on if I will cash out for Amazon or wait for my £50.

Do Toluna but not so often and haven't cashed out yet

think that's it

My aim is to so Xmas for "free" this year. I have John Lewis vouchers £500 from a comp win to use, coupled with my vouchers from surveys I think I'm pretty much there

I always get amazon vouchers. I do Doo yoo and everytime I see something I think would make a good Christmas present I pop it in my wish list and watch the price go up and down. When it hits a good low I buy and pop in my present cupboard. Already doing very well for Christmas although with 3 children, not sure will quite cover the whole cost...
