Gfk surveys and app

shed35

Hi

After doing GFk media surveys since 2008, I have been told by GFK that they have disabled my account as they no require me on the panel. There was no warning as I did their survey yesterday. Has this happened to other people?

Also can you tell me what other surveys I could do? I made about £30 in vouchers each year and this will be missed.

I have already registered for Maximiles, erewards and Jenny Sparrow.

I would suggest MySurvey, GlobalTestMarket, YouGOV, Valued Opinions, OnePoll and NewVista.
If you do shopping then try Nielsen Factfinder, Consumer Pulse and ShopandScan.
Mind you I don't recommend them! All of them send out survey that often are not for me or are even already closed!
Strangely I have never found MaxMiles any good and it seems to take ages to get even close to the reward cashout break point.
How do you find erewards and Jenny Sparrow.?

Good luck

Hi

Thank you for your reply. I will definitely look at their surveys.

I have been doing e- rewards for years. For years, they just gave avios air miles but change it 2 years ago and now do high street and amazon vouchers.

They send out lots of surveys via email with varying points. Need to be quick to do them. 3500 points gets you £10 vouchers and so on.

Here is their link:- http://www.e-rewards.co.uk/home.do

An ex work colleague told me about Jenny Sparrow and I only completed the application last night. They invite you to join consumers groups and meet up in venues around the Nottingham/Derby. You need to be resident in those cities. Here is the link if you are:-

It does take ages to do Maximiles and I probably get a voucher every two years. I do not get the survey alert the way I use to.

I rely heavily on doing surveys for additional income and this has become more important as I just been approved for my 1st loan ever for a new kitchen.

Your welcome and I can give you a few more which pay less.
I find the exercise rewarding upto a point, but I am often annoyed by the cavalier way they treat their volunteer contributors. Often sending me survey invites which when I answer with details they already have in my profile they reject me. Or invite me to another survey, right after a previous one, but then tell me that survey is closed!

shed can you confirm that the erewards pay out with high street vouchers please
i have looked on the site and i can't see it listed at all , they only seem to pay with hotels or flights

e-rewards pay in Nectar points - for me anyway - 1000 points = 1000 Nectar points = £5.
I quite like them.
Usually the nectar points are in the next day after I redeem.

Just come across this site, has anyone tried it ?

GFK Digital Trends, looks like it runs software to view your surfing habits.

Yes, I have. I find GfK to be really good at what they do. However, I'm not up for downloading software that tracks everything I do online. They aren't the only survey company who try to tempt you into doing this either.

But I do like GfK Media View. It's a good one - nice and quick survey every day about what you watched on TV the day before, and what radio station you listened to. I've won a few gift vouchers in their weekly draws, and they have bigger prize draws you can enter too. (Apologies if you already know about this).

They get a thumbs up from me.

But a thumbs down for wanting to track everything. But if you don't mind that then go for it!

I thought I'd warn other GFK media survey users to make sure they use up all their points in the prize draw as soon as anything remotely interesting comes up as a prize.

After being on the panel for many years, they decided to take me off the panel "to allow for some newer contributors the chance to tell us about their TV and Radio Habits."
They gave me just 2 weeks notice to use up 23,000 points in their prize draws. Since I got the email there's been nothing I could use them up on and today I'm locked out of the site so all my points are lost. I know the chances of winning one of these vouchers are remote but after filling in their surveys almost every day for over a decade I think they could have given me more notice.
