    I've heard that PopulusLive is very similar to Newvistalive. Is it worth joining both these survey sites or do you recommend only joining one?

    I would say it's worth joining both, I cash out a lot quicker with Populuslive though.

    How long does it usually take to reach the £50 threshold with Populuslive?

    There is no 'usually', it wholly depends on whether you fit the demographic of the surveys they have available and send you.

    I received my last £50 in April and my next one is on its way now. I think they pay well to encourage people to respond quickly, and this has been a lot easier for me since I stopped working. I also suspect that they may operate on a priority system, where you are more likely to get invitations if you are reliable at responding quickly - but that is just a theory. I also very rarly get screened out , and the money I get when I do qualify far outweighs the inconvenience of the occasional dq, which rarely happens too far into a survey.

    These and prolific academic are my two current favourites.

    I got my last cheque at the beginning of May, just hit £50 last week so will get my next one at the beginning of September.

    My new cheque arrived on Saturday, and I have probably about £15 since they processed that.

    It took me over a month to get from 48 to 50 points and an expected payout. I was screened out of about 5 surveys over that time.

    It could just be a quiet period for them at the moment as I haven't received a survey invite since 22.09.16 which is really unusual as I normally receive approximately 10 surveys per month.

    Hopefully that's all it is and the surveys pick up again soon!
