Decent survey sites - any I'm missing?

Hi guys, just wondering if there's any decent survey sites out there that anyone could recommend? I'm currently a member of the following:

Qark Panel
Globaltestmarket
Opinium
Panelbase.net
Mysurvey.eu
Valued Opinions
Response Panel
Justtheanswer
YouGov
OnePoll
Harrispoll

I'm leaving askGFK, as they can't be trusted, and Trendscan send me a survey once a year, so utterly pointless.

(also with Nectar Adpoints, Pinecone, Consumer Pulse and Shop & Scan).

Any recommendations gratefully appreciated!

    tesco shoppers thoughts ~ pays in clubcard points +/- 75 per survey usually
    TESCO Guest Satisfaction Survey 25 clubcard points once per month.

    opinionbar pays cash direct to bank.

    Maximiles? Not brilliant, but it mounts up eventually. Pays in vouchers not in cash and I think I get a £30 voucher a year on average, which is on a par with some of the others as I don't get hundreds of surveys.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    yoursaypays.co.uk is quite good. They've paid me thrice.

    My favourite is PopulusLive. They automatically send you a cheque when you reach £50. It normally takes me approx 6-8 months to reach payout.

    Hi geerex,I'm not familiar with a couple of sites you mentioned,I'll have to check them out for myself.I second your opinion of AskGFK,the most dreadful experience I've had with a survey site,basically a scam operation.

    Like larlie I would also recommend Populus Live.Here's a few more you might want to consider:

    Ipsos I-say: Their surveys are quite long and dull but easy to complete (mostly clickable) and they give a few token points for screen outs.£10 Amazon vouchers only but you should be able to get 3 or 4 a year.

    Mindmover: They pay cash when you hit £20 and I used to reach the threshold only once a year but in recent months they're sending a survey every day with a high qualification ratio and I'm averaging £20 every 5 or 6 weeks.Not sure but they may be closed to new members at the moment,keep an eye out.

    Crowdology: Infrequent (quick and easy) surveys and a high screen out ratio but the payment threshold is only £4 and you do get there.The money goes into your account straight away,I'm not aware that any other site does this.

    Mingle Respondi: I only joined a couple of months ago,it seems to be a slow burner like Justtheanswer.The surveys are quite short and easy,pay out is £8 (I think) in cash or Amazon vouchers.They appear to be reliable enough so far with points credits etc.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Just thought I'd add that Ipsos don't just do Amazon vouchers. Unless it's changed in the past week. I got a John Lewis voucher from them 2 weeks ago. Hope this hasn't changed becuase I don't really use Amazon much.

    I also do e-rewards surveys but think they're invitation only (although that might have changed). I got an invite shortly after joining BA's executive club (which is free to join) and exchange their points for avios points. You don't get that many avios but the surveys I've had are fairly short and easy to do.

    Thanks for the replies folks.

    Ipsos - I have NEVER qualified for a survey from them, I used to be a member, but gave up. No matter how much I tell the truth/lie, randomise IP address etc.

    I'm fairly sure, back in the day Populous live cancelled my account at ~£46.

    To be honest, survey sites treat us like ****, just want to open up my options to widen the pool, so to speak.

    Opionion Outpost is a good one! Get multiple survey's throughout the day! Can cash out once earned once earned £2.50 = 50 points. Amazon voucher or paypal. Also instant credits!

    I earn about £20 every month.

    Ipsos do offer Amazon vouchers - that's all I ever have from them.

    I have checked the new i-say site (as not yet cashed in via that myself) and they do have the option for Amazon vouchers but in order to find them you have to select e-vouchers and then it comes up :)
