    the best one i have found so far has been lightspeed as after surveys I can withdraw to paypal. There is no minimum payout ( well you need 115 points to cash out £1 but this is normally acheived after 1 survey). The most I have had for one survey is 400 points.

    I also use pigsback which is quite good, currently sitting at £30 . And mutualpoints which was quite good but have been waiting ages to get to the 3000 point minimum.
    I have tried other ones but doin't find them worthwhile

    Claire I am interested in trying pinkcashback and will give it a look . If I am going to sign up to it I will use your ref link as I had not heard of it before and would have to give you the credit for bringing it to my attention

    Hello, i joined up with the cosmetic research one a while ago-i haven't been aked to test anything but i wasn't getting my hopes up as i have eczema and several allergies (buy you never know). However my husband was sent a moisturiser for his face and neck-and it was really good! He tried emailing asking what it was-as he wants to buy it lol! He had loads left after the trial and got to keep it too. He didn't get any money for it-but when i signed up it did state that you don't get paid, only get to try/test products if you are chosen.

    I'm also with shop and scan-but you can't just sign up on the website. You get paid with vouchers for hugh street shops etc, for scanning in your shopping each week.

    Lightspeed has been quite good, i've hit a quiet patch at the moment, but have had a steady stream of surveys and have claimed paypal money.

    Can't say much but i joined pinecone too......

    That's pinecone research! They send surveys and you get paid for each one. Cosmetic research is a completely different thing.

    Luncheon vouchers can be used at a lot of places. You could just use them as money off your shopping. When you get yours, they have a list of palces on the back page

    I've just signed up to cosmetic research.. see what happens! Don't mind not getting paid as hopefully get sent free stuff.

    I've answered all the questions on the profile bit but it still askes for more info - obviously missed off that isn't applicable! Even asks for your bra size... mine's not on it! :rolleyes: (I'm not that unique!) And inside leg size - I've never needed to measure that!
