:rotfl: This freaked me out for a moment, Chrisv. I thought there actually was such a thing as a smodlet, which you had been reading about! Pretty sure I made that word up.

In my minds eye a Smodlet is a little purple fluffy troll type creature.

It is neither purple nor troll-like (trollesque?) The little and fluffy parts are correct. So there.

Ive had 4 surveys since I got back from work, not bad at all.

Out of interest - what is others approach to cashing out? As I approach my 2nd year on Prolific I've had some experience of it, I think my largest was £40 or so. I usually do it when I hit £20 to avoid fees - but right now I am on 25 with a further 7 pending....and no major need to cash out right now (tis my birthday on Thursday and the good bank of mum and dad have sent me funds as a gift).

I look to cash out as soon as I hit £20.

It's only my second month but I had planned to cash out once a month on the 1st. Currently at £32 with £3.50 pending. Are there fees for over £20 then?

Under.

Used to be the case that Prolific would charge, I cannot remember the exact figure, for cashing out between 5-20 with PayPal. I think there is still a charge with PayPal, but as I use Circle I havent paid it much attention recently.

Ahhh I see. Jolly good, yes noticed a few pence went astray last time I cashed out. On track to hit my £60 target for the month between prolific and qmee. Anyone else set a monthly target?

£1 a day, per site. I use a lot of sites....

I am below that with qmee at the minute with £10 for the month, but as I am doing well with Prolific, and have also met the £50 goal with Populous (and only 250 points off with YouGov) - I am less fussed.

And am doing ok with Swagbucks, Opinion Outpost - but global test market has taken a back seat recently.

I still try to cash out so that after fees I end up with at least £20 - it's been slow for me the last few months. Last June (with the referendum and associated studies) I cashed out £80, recently I'm lucky if I can do £20 in two months
