    Why does everyone get these really well paid studies  :( The maximum I have ever had per study was probably 4-5 pounds, I have never seen one that pays this well... I've been completing them for just over a month and have done about 70 so far, average payout just 1.5GBP. 

    ETA OK I know it's not "everyone" but still, I wonder if it's something about my demographics. Am I too well off?  :DB)
    No.  It's just who is paying versus who is there.

    FWIW I don't think my demographic is 'common' and I was expecting fewer surveys than my OH.  I do get less, but they pay ok.  I do get some small ones but mostly they are at the £8 and over mark. 



    Blimey, I've done over 200 and my average rate if £1.14!
    I've done over 400 and mine works out at £1.26 average rate...Not complaining though as its money I wouldn't have if I didn't do the studies and I am extremely grateful

    Is there a section where it tells you your average, or did you all get your calculators out?  It never occured to me to check my average!
