I would help out with this, only just been going through the thread as I have recently joined a few sites

The best survey site in my opinion is one of the most elusive to register with. Not sure if I am allowed to mention the name! I get paid promptly within a few days with a £3 luncheon voucher (for each survey) which I use at the supermarket as cash. I think that's a good reward and it makes me more inclined to give the survey some proper thought.
I also do a fair few for Lightspeed and YouGov. But I'm having some problems with the former as lately I have been getting the message 'you have paused this interview before it has begun' and I have been unable to access the survey. When I write in with the problem, I just get an automated reply so the customer service is rubbish..
I used to do a few for another site but I ditched them after experiencing a couple of surveys where you would go through what seemed like the whole thing before being told you did not fit the criteria. That's just a dishonest way of getting surveys for free and I told them so before leaving.

Has anyone ever won anything from the Instant Prize Draws? Apart from entries into the monthly draw, that is.

I've done the surveys for 2 years and have never got anything. A complete waste of effort!

sounds like pinecone or pinecone research for the full name. didn't realise it was a secret society where you couldn't mention the name pinecone on forums. Why would they not want ppl to mention their name (pinecone), they are alwayz lookin for more members.

thats enough pinecone for today.

I've tried asking them to explain how we win and who has won but all enquiries fall on deaf ears.

I think I'll stop for now. Others give better and proper reward for our time.

hey people. sorry to sound dim, BUT the sites that say $ in your account for completing surveys, do these get converted to £ once you reach the minimum or am i just wasting my time and giving them information for free?
any help much appreciated - i am new to online surveys after having my work cut down due to the credit crunch:-(
thanks
