  • I love populuslive! I had a quiet period a few weeks ago but i've started getting a few more surveys recently. I joined them 1 year ago and Ive had £50 cheque twice and am on £41 so almost at my third cheque, its worth persevering although it is annoying to get half way through and be screened out
  • The survey invites on this site are too few and far between i am on 42 points and have being for ages gerrrrrr
    debts 16550
    Mortgage 69500
  • Is this company really just a bunch of con artists? Would anyone find it reasonable to get to 48 points with redemption at 50 in October 2014 and still be waiting for a survey that I am not automatically screened out?
    Is there any recommendations form anyone apart from contacting Watchdog/Rip off Britain to warn people to stay away from this site.

    Like Saddler1975 says, this is a legit site. I have cashed out quite a few times since I joined many years ago. If you're not getting any emails then I would contact them. It could be that the emails are getting lost in your spam folder, or if you haven't opened them for a long time they get returned and your email address taken off.

    I go through periods of nothing from this site so I wonder if they cycle groups of users, or I'm just a less useful demographic. I've made £100 this year - last redemption came through last week - so its a slow burn but this time once I got to 40 points I got the next 10 and more in just a few days which I was surprised about as others had complained that wouldn't be the case. Perhaps just lucky this time.

    Populus have a Facebook page, but it's not well maintained.


    You could try contacting them at [EMAIL="info@PopulusLive.com"]info@PopulusLive.com[/EMAIL] and see what they suggest.


    Good luck!
  • moved home address, updated my new details with populous live then came on for a survey, all good and no problems..... till l got to the end and put in my new postcode after spending 40 mins completing the survey only to be told that l provided wrong information, sent 3 messages over a space of a week and no reply, now not getting any surveys whatsoever, getting rather annoyed

    Try them on twitter, when I wasn't getting replies to emails I sent a tweet and it got sorted the same day.
