    I got the email from Opinium also. I hoped with it being the season of goodwill and all that, we might have been able to keep the money which THEY had overpaid us by. It wasn't our fault after all!

    I would highly recommend that people do not take any Opinium surveys.

    They emailed me when I reached £20 in November asking whether I would like paying and I gave them my bank details and said yes please. They have not paid me my money and so far they have ignored 3 emails that I have sent to them asking what is happening, yet they are still sending me survey invitations. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    In my last email I told them that I would publicise their behaviour if I did not receive a response, so that is what I am doing now :D

    This is probably a stupid question but I just want to check something. When you redeem points for vouchers (for example, at Toluna), is it just a generic voucher that they send you (i.e. it won't have my name on it)?

    I'd like to give the voucher to someone for their birthday when I've eventually got enough points to do so so I'm eager to see if I will actually be able to do this!

    I've received vouchers from various sites and they have all been standard vouchers and not specific to me.

    Thank you! I was hoping that would be the case.

    On the ToLuna homepage, click on 'You' at the top the page and then you can select register.
  • Has anybody tried sites where you have to pay to register. Getpaid4surveys make out you can earn as much as £500 p/m doing surveys but will charge £80 for me to register. You always hear about 'scams' with these sort of things and was wondering if it would be money well spent.

    The advice I have seen many times is NOT to pay to join any survey sites.
