    Thanks to Hiddenidentity and Scott_Weiland and others, I have been caught by the surveys...

    I have signed up with Prolific Academic (PA), Opinion Outpost (OO) and Swagbucks (SB), so far

    Have already made over £5 on PA, have 105 points on OO and 95 SB...

    What's the best / favoured method of cash out? Circle or PayPal? With PA it looks like Circle would be best as there is no charge if over £20...
    How do I get a Circle account then? ;)

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    By using [STRIKE]my[/STRIKE] a referral link ;)

    No in all seriousness :rotfl: I prefer circle but I guess what one won't fit all. I have had no issues with Circle and its in the bank within an hour once PA have sent it to circle (PA sending to either circle or PP is upto 5 days .. shh usually a Tues or a Friday ;) but that's secret :p)

    Have just signed up with Circle...
    If I had known that I could have used your referral link and got you some extra cash for doing so I would have Hiddenidentity, sorry :(

    Circle does look very good, seems very straightforward to use...

    My mates must have a baking radar / alert system or something...
    I haven't been able to get photos of anything as the bug gers have been and eaten the bloody lot
    Still they all said it was bloody excellent, I wouldn't know because I never got any...
    Now that they're all away I can have another go at making some for me...

    Drop the cash via paypal once you get to 100 points on opinion outpost there's no point leaving it sitting there. Put it in a savings account emergency fun, or pay a fiver off debts etc.


    The reason i say not to store it is i once got burnt by a survey website that folded and 3-4 months worth of work went up the swanny. Plus its in Martins rules
