Which survey sites have you stopped using?

Forgot about Pinecone - I still do that. It seems OK in that I've never got screened out, though the surveys are super dull.

With YouGov it seems to take years to build up to £50, so probably not for those getting on in years.

Agree. Think I've had two whole £50's in three and a half years; not hopeful of seeing a third...

Swagbucks. I made a decent whack when I wasn't so busy, but it was a lot of work and I was not happy with the fact that they don't seem to do due diligence on the sites they link to so I always felt like I was on the verge of getting a million viruses.

Their surveys also screen out mid way a lot of the time, which is a red card from me. No way to know whether they're using your data anyway (I suspect they are) and not paying you for it.

I also gave up with Pinecone as I mysteriously got locked out of my account and despite my emails to support it was never resolved. Surveys had become very sporadic anyway.

Same thing happened to me a while back MissPop. Never did get a reply to my emails to them!

Valued Opinions have started doing this too, they never used to. Adds way too much time to the start of surveys, can see me getting fed up with that soon.

The questions before the surveys are so frustrating - and often they ask you the same things over and over! Then you finally get to the survey and it says there are no spaces left...

I only do valued opinions, store all my money up and cash in for my Christmas shop each year.

Yougov need to be called out regards the £50 cashout... worst in the industry ...they are often on LBC lately with the election polls. may have to phone up when the yougov chief is next on too call him out

YouGov, it's painful and takes too long, I just abandoned it in the end.

I did surveynetwork which is linked to cint surveys and your surveys are checked by your-surveys.com, now your-surveys do a point system,, you start with 140, gain one point for every survey completed, but then they steal 20 points if they think you cheat,,, if you hit 100 points you are blocked,, now I have been doing them for 10 years, then suddenly the last 4 months, they have been accusing me of cheating on nearly every survey, wiping my points out,, in fact this week, i did not even bother to do any surveys and yet they still decided to deduct 55 points for cheating, they do not answer your tickets when you speak up about their cheating,, surveynetworks support email , you will never get a reply ,, so I tracked it down to one woman called angela, angela.jones@surveynetwork.co.uk,, though even though its her website that sends the surveys out,, she does not care and advises that you can always close your account,, cint are supposably investigating it,, but they have been saying this for 2 months now... surveynetwork is registered in the usa, But I have tracked the ceo to a woman in latvia.. so the whole set up is very dodgy .. I have suddenly stopped receiving any surveys from them now, of which they all pretend they do not know why ... so do not waste your time , and if you are already using surveynetwork, you now have a email to contact them with .

Ipsos I-Say is the only one I've given up on. I used to get Compliments vouchers regularly but they stopped offering them and the only cash-outs seem to be online vouchers now. I never buy online.
