    Yes, £30+ every single month without fail, product trials and multiple focus groups.

    Sometimes its just that the survey filled up near the end.

    Same here, I've been completing their surveys for a few years now, but recently I can try 5/6 in a row which invariably screen me out - often a long way in.

    The invitation for focus groups and product trial come during the surveys. I've also had ones where I had to keep a diary of conversations, cigarettes smoked, nappies changed etc, all sorts really.

    Sometimes I will be asked about availability during a survey and then receive an email in the following days inviting me to a focus group. The focus groups are usually for 1000+ Marketpoints (£27.50 ish) and I had a product trial last week worth £15 of Marketpoints (545 was what I received).

    I cash out around once a month, less on occasion (this month, July, June and April more than once).

    This year I have found that I get more and more focus groups/product trials, perhaps it works on the basis of good workers (in that respect) get more, but I doubt their system is that sophisticated.

    My demographics are the 'ideal' I believe, mid 20s, living in Southern England, earnings of £55K+ in our household, 2 kids, dogs, etc.
