You need to check the site frequently for surveys. I did get an email about a survey today. When I went on the site that one was full, but I was able to do another one. It does seem to pay better than You Gov so far, as You Gov takes me a year to get to £50.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I do find the Prolific surveys the best. Although I think they got their wires crossed today with me. They gave me a survey all about baby milk formula and whether I'd use it. DD is aged 44! :eek:Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Ah thank you, will keep an eye on it whenever I get some time. I've been on YouGov around a month or so and I think I only have around 800/5000 (I think) so probably a year here too for the £50.Change the way you see things and the things you see will change0 -

Hilarious :rotfl: Did you have to think back and remember what you did all those years ago? Mine was all about tasks and decision making and it was so complicated I had trouble making decisions

A wise decision SG
You Gov does take ages to get points beanie, but at least they never screen me out after loads of questions so I keep plodding on. DS1 gets loads more surveys than I do from YG, he must be a desirable demographic.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
