I get a lot of them via Y-Live, as well.

Y-live annoys me. Too many of their surveys chuck you out after completing a more than reasonable portion of the survey. Only reason I’m still in is that I’m half way to the next £50. Also very frustrating that you have to answer stupid questions like not visiting Antarctica before they chuck you out.

They are another one where my surveys have gone down to one every couple of months. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m getting older and I’m now in a different demographic band for them.

I've signed up to Y-live and done the demographic and business surveys, how do you then see which surveys are available for you to complete? Do you get an email or just have to check on there regularly and if so where on the website do you check?

Thanks

TBH, that's not a problem I've had with Y-Live. It's very rare for me to be screened out of their surveys, and when it happens it's fairly early.

They send an email whenever there's a survey available for you. I don't think there's anywhere to check on the website - it's all done by email invitations.

Much appreciated thank you.

Working fine for me.

In fact, just had this beauty that took 6 minutes for £7.50. was estimating 30 minutes when I took it, now reduced to £7 with the same payout.

Earlier the mobile site was showing a blank page, and there was a message on the desktop site mentioning the issue, but it seems to be working ok again now.
