Got such a random survey on prolific paying 50p that then awarded me a bonus of £20. Didn’t believe it until it hit my account so I cashed out quickly!!

I'll be honest, I've given up on isay since they went to the new website because they just seem to screen me out of everything after doing most of the survey.Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056

I gave up on i-Say for the same reason - couldn't go near their website without falling into a murderous rage. But that's an excellent result on Prolific 😀😀😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Hmmm I’m not even getting any survey invites. It’s annoying as I’m 16 points away from payout. I’m tempted to open another account but I’m dammed if I’m giving up on those points accumulated so far!
up to £700.21 saved of the £900 I need for the bill. I don’t need to pay it until early September and I’m going to stick in on the Tesco credit card I think and nag some club card points. I can then just clear it straight away the following month.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Well I did open another Ipsos account so be interesting to see how many surveys filter through on the new one. Less than £2 to go to reach payout on YouGov which always pleases me. Referred a friend on TCB so £20 has tracked and is pending. Though these are all likely to be going towards my lovely bill. I’ll be so glad when I’ve reached that so I can get back to saving again.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Sold some more things this week so hit the £900 bill target And all money now being generated is going in our emergency fund. Whether our circumstances change will be known around end September so no real money is being spent and I’m squirrelling away whatever I can. I’m hopeful our circumstances won’t change but it’s a complete unknown really until then.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

You do so well on survey sites, the only one that seems to give me frequent surverys is 1poll! yougov rarely invite me! Well done on reaching target, great savings!4
