    While you can use Swagbucks for surveys, their pay ratio is poor. Fortunately you can earn using other methods with them.

    Does anyone use Pinecone anymore?

    I find the best ones at the moment are Qmee and Prolific.

    Inboxdollars is American, Inboxpounds is our/the UK version and they're usually low payouts for surveys & lots of screenouts.

    Telling me about the sea..."
  • Inboxpounds is only good for there search and spin the wheel just doing that you can get a payout of £20 every 3-4 months there surveys pay very low amounts occasionaly if you are lucky you get a 2 minute one for 30p branded surveys is way better and there time estimates are usually spot on or less hate the sites it says 10 minutes and 20 minutes later the end cant come soon enough lol

    Yes, i have been using them for about a month now. They're legit and quite good actually. I already cashed out £30 on my paypal 1 week ago. It's one of the few surveys sites that worth my while in the last 5 months since i've been doing surveys and it's easy to reach the £30 threshold. I just posted a detailed review on trustpilot.
  • I signed up to Lux Surveys to earn a little cash during lockdown whilst being furloughed from work. I spent many many hours completing surveys which too on average 30+ minutes to complete. After completing each survey, came the header telling me that I had " successfully completed the survey and rewards will be added to my account".
    I was able to see the rewards for each survey added to my account and after exceeding the minimum limit of £25, I requested payment to my paypal account.
    After waiting several days, I emailed support to enquire about my payment and received a response saying it took 4-10 woking days. After more than 10 working days I emailed them again and received the response:
    "We can see your account was removed due to quality issue :
    we got a complaint from the client: rushing through the surveys, filling not attentively, in open questions just letters, not sentences. the issues has been found more than in 10 of your surveys.
    this is not acceptable. account is removed based on the terms of use ".If your survey completes appear in reversal reports due to poor quality from any of the Luxsurveys.com clients more than 5 times, Luxsurveys will close your account permanently without any payment cashout and any additional explanation"
     This is absolute nonsense and clearly this company cannot be trusted.
    So I would urge everyone considering this company not to waste there time. They are scammers, con artists, and cheats.

  • MarkJT -I had exactly the same experience with Lux.   I had been taking surveys for over 8 months and had built up a substantial credit. Intention was to cash out near Christmas and use proceeds as Christmas gifts. When I asked for a payout they suddenly cancelled  my account with same message as you give above. 

    This Lux Survey site is a definite scam and I would recommend no one use it.   Maybe Martin can note this on one of his programs to avoid others from being cheated.

    Absolute garbage of a site. I joined it from a referral on another site, thought I would give it a go. I noticed straight away it's the only survey site I've ever seen that doesn't show your earnings as you go. What the? Oh well. I waited for days. When I finally got the email, it was only five pence and I'd done half a dozen surveys. I felt this was really weird, but of course I can't remember which surveys I did... so as a test I did one single 25min survey quoted as £0.80. It took EIGHT DAYS to credit and they gave me £0.12 for it. Complete scam. I am never bothering with those twits again. Go with Branded Surveys instead, you will quickly learn how sites are supposed to do things.
