thanks for replying clarab. what do they do like put you some money in a little online account then you can withdraw it into your bank account when it builds up a little bit?

some others are
yougov are pretty good but only paysout when you reach the minimum amount of £50
global test market pays you in points which you can redeem for cash - i think
i can't think of any at the moment but will update if anything comes to my mind.

Well online surveys have given me an income of £400 thats just the vouchers the cash ones like You Gov and Global test market have gone into the childrens accounts so about £100.

Definately worth doing.

I do the voucher ones because that is my Christmas fund for the children and for the last two years Christmas has cost me nothing!

I did used to do mystery shoppign but it was a lot of effort for not a lot sitting at home with a cup of tea and clicking without much thought is a lot easier!

I found that Ciao kept asking me loads of questions and then saying I wasn't suitable for that particular survey, so I got fed up with them. You Gov always give you credit even if you only answer 2 questions, but it takes ages to earn money as they don't send them very often (they don't send me many, anyway!).

There's a great long list of them here... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=447062&highlight=survey

Before signing up to any of them, just have a look in the referals board... there are threads on there for a few of them, if you sign up using someone's link, they benefit, then you put your link on the thread, and if someone uses it, you benefit.

Also have a look at Pigsback if you're not a member already... there's a continuous thread on the Freebie board, and again, sign up from the referals board.

I use Lightspeed (you can sign up via Pigsback...maybe through Quidco too, but I'm not sure...), they're generally quite good. You do get occasions where they seem to ask a lot of questions and then say you're not suitable, but I qualify for about two thirds of the surveys they send on average. They pay you in points, which you can then redeem for various things, including paying into Paypal.

Men tend to get more survey offers than women so if you have a partner sign them up and do them for them!
