    Several, but I make most from Swagbucks:

    Populuslive - pays well but took 6 mths to make the £50 payout
    Crowdology - odd lot but have been good to me since I managed to report one of their surveys as not working
    Pinecone - pays well but infrequent
    Ipsos isay - slow going and payment options don't suit me
    Omee - seem related to Toluna but will pay instantly.

    Toluna - avoid like the plague, they pay even less for surveys and by signing up I seemed to get fewer of those 70sb surveys from Swagbucks! Can take 10 weeks to pay out and actually did away with the Tesco vouchers I was waiting on and then had to reorder and wait another 10 weeks. However I was able to do 4 and 5 surveys a day (their limit) for at least two months!

    Haven't yet tried Yougov and WhatusersDo

    I try to answer surveys as accurately and truthfully as I can to avoid having accounts cancelled, means getting screened out a lot but is hopefully a longer term strategy!

    Right! Thank you, really appreciate you sharing :-) Glad I found out about Swagbucking, seems to be most popular and reliable. :T
    I've done some shopping through them today, Hope it will track! ;-)

    I can imagine it must be quite frustrating to get to level 3 and not get decent tasks. Any other websites other than Swagbucks that you earn extra $$ on? :-) I'm researching remote jobs and really like that idea too. For now a gift card from Swagbucks won't hurt ;-)


    As I posted a while ago swagbucks surveys are rarely worth it compared to completing them direct and that's not including the number of times SB fail to pay or have to be chased up to do so
    Just had a couple of surveys from PopulusLive that paid £5 for 25 mins, at paypal rates that's the same as swagbucks paying 32 SB a minute or 800 SB for the 25 - simply doesn't happen which is why I don't normally touch their surveys.


    There is an MSE list of survey sites here

    Mine said 1281 SB for 0 mins. You get the SB up to 10 days later. Also get £10 for activation of the app and another £10 each month for using it.

    Just did it. Downloaded the app to my phone. Sent of text to register it. Waiting for activation.
    Very easy survey. Asking for details of family what devices you use have and use. How you watch TV etc.

    I've only been able to get skittles, although not the worst thing as it's 14sb a time.
