    I only do the ones aimed at me too- I would rather be honest and get what is mine then to take what isn't and either be found out and have my profile closed down (as the rules state and my email to them stated) or find they become more scrupulous with any surveys.

    Same here - how gutting would it be to get to £40 and then have your account closed and no payment because you've broken the rules?!

    However...I do sometimes get members of my family to do them, who do fit the profile...e.g. I am a 22 year old girl, but if a survey asks for a child between 11-15, I have a 13 year old brother so I ask him the questions and then fill it in on his behalf. Or a woman over 40, I ask my mum the questions. That's allowed isn't it - as long as it's a member of your household? But I wouldn't do, say, the ones which ask for someone over 60 living in London (as an example) because that applies to none of us!

    Friad not! I asked that question to onepoll as my mum is in her fourties and I am not, I would have been able to get her to fill the survey in and emailed to ask onepoll.

    They told me absolutly and defenetly not, and that they can do random checks through the list of surveys we have filled in (theres a list on your profile when you log in of surveys you have done).

    They can see things like answered a survey for men and answered a survey for women...and see if anyone has gone back on the rules. I just hid the survey (you can do that by pressing the tab at the end of the survey link) and I no longer can see it so it doesn't bother me as much.

    I have a Onepoll account, can my DH have one too? Would be a different email address.

    As was explained to me, you can have any member/s of your family do onepoll too, but they would need their own email address.
  • Anyone else finding that the paid surveys are becoming very picky about who they want to answer them. I have been on the site every night this week and I have managed to complete 4 surveys in total (30pence - woo hoo) as I have not been the right candidate for all the others. Very annoying - will take me ages to get to £40 payout at this rate.

    Am gettig fed up with their "pickiness" tbh. Especially when many more now seem to have up to 10 screening questions before they palm you off with a £200 "competition" (yeah right)! Along with the many technical errors they seem to now have, OnePoll used to be my favorite survey site but they are fast slipping in my estimations
  • Has taken me a couple of years to reach £40 - just a few days ago - so I won't be doing any more especially as they are now so picky. If they reduced the payout to say £10 I might reconsider, but not much hope of that.

    Been impressed with this site so far, been a member for a while but only started really using it in the past month. Up to almost £8 already, so hopefully it won't take too long until I can withdraw to my bank, we shall see.
