  • Isnt YOUGOV just paid in potential prizes, not cash ? Perhaps I didnt read it properly ?

    Hi Dave
    Just to add to what lynzpower said. They pay 50p upwards per survey(usually 50p but sometimes 75p or £1). They invite you to do ones that are genuinely appropriate, none of this doing a few questions and then being told you don't qualify for the target group they are seeking like some companies:mad:

    When your earnings reach £50 they send a cheque automatically without having to claim. Can take a long time though before you get to the magic £50 limit:rolleyes:. I get £50 about every 9 months or so, the latest one should be in the post any day now:j

    Yeah, maybe we could go together :D

    Shall we :D

    Do you actually get paid from retail eyes or do they just reimburse what youve spent? I cant rememeber now?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I didint for the last one ( read only one I did) when me and my mate went to bertorellis for lunch they gave us a budget of 70 quid ( for lunch!) and we had to have 3 courses each and a bottle of wine. it came to 74.00 in the end. I dont mind paying 4 quid for a lunch but there was no profit in it :confused:

    I just had a look and it's gone now I think :( would've been a laugh cos I can't play snooker to save my life!! Used to be pretty good at pool tho :cool:

    I don't know how they pay up cos I've never done one with them before, been signed up for some time but never seen anything that was close enough or convenient.

    Whereabouts are you?
    DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!

    Well Ive just been asked to do another bit of freelancing tomorrow. That will net us a further 50 quid I think. I have noidea when or how I get paid for these- note to self CHECK with company LOL

    I was hoping to slope off early and go shopping, but moneymaking is getting in the way of money spending :money: which is always nice isnt it :D
