    See different people get different things out of survey sites.
    I don't get many surveys from lightspeed, about £30 in a year.
    Global test market is really good for me, i've earnt around £145 from them in a year.
    VO i've made about £80.

    Some people get loads from some sites where as others won't. Just depends on who they are looking for i guess.

  • I think Lightspeed is better than Valued Opinions.
    I find i fit Lightspeed criteria more often.
    Valued Opinions, once my summer is over im stopping its just a pain i never meet their criteria.

    The best survey i've ever got from VO was a few months ago & its worth £400, can't remember the exact amount off hand.
    Its for a company who want to give people an incentive to lose weight & earn money.
    I have to lose 50lbs over 7 months & keep those 50lbs off for 6 months & then i get the money.

    I don't get many surveys from lightspeed, i did at one point get quite a few but they've seemed to dry up. I sometimes get emails saying theres a survey, log in & theres nothing there despite going there quickly :confused:

    I find Brainjuicer rubbish, rarely get surveys & then most of the time get told i don't qualify.

    I'm doing really well thanks.
    I did have a lot of weight to lose so it was a fantastic opportunity for me to get a bit of money & lose weight at the same time.
    I've met each monthly target which is good.

    The hardest part will be when i finish losing weight & need to keep it off but if i don't keep it off i don't get the full amount of money.
    I should be at my target weight by xmas time, already lost a few dress sizes :D

    The company doing it is weight wins, they sent me a free cup & pedometer & diary to keep a note of what i'm eating.

  • Wow well done!
    Just remember when you reach that target at Xmas which i know you will watch out for the Xmas food its a killer :p

    I will be on my best behaviour when i get to goal :D

  • Most of the last few surveys I got off of VO would have me finish the survey then there is a technical error of some sort and I never get the points because I can't retake the survey.
    Wow, apart from the benefits to your health and overall wellbeing, £400 is some incentive to lose weight ! Have you thought about what to do with it? You could get yourself an entirely new wardrobe with that amount ! Keep up the good work !
  • I've had a survey from VO called 'Social study' & that keeps failing, not worth the hassle for 50p.

    Yeah £400 is pretty good incentive to lose the weight. It came at the right time as i was just about to start dieting.
    I can have it as money or vouchers but i think money would be better.
    I'm thinking maybe some new clothes & a few things for the kids.

    Just got to get there first, long way off getting the money.

    Totally agree, most people I know don't even bother to proceed now if they open it, and it's a Brainjuicer one!
    Far too many times now, you complete over half the syrvey and then it tells you you're not eligible or you complete 80-90% of the survey and 'an unexpected error occurs' :mad: yeah right!! how very convenient :rolleyes:
    This has happened to lots of people I've spoken to, so it's not just a 'one off' :rolleyes:
