    I can't believe you've said YouGov is better than Y Live. I strenuously disagree! :D

    So as to avoid being completely unhelpful, I'll add Connect to SC's list. It's not great money but I've had c. $21 out of them since November for relatively little effort.

    Ooh, never heard of them πŸ€”! Will have to have a looksie. Have also just started on Mingle, which Jessy mentioned on her diary. Doesn't Y-Live drive you bonkers with their attention check questions and profiling questions getting you 25%-30% of the way through and then booting you out 😑??? At least YouGov you never get screened outΒ

    Another one I like to do is mingle. Has its own app so easy to monitor, you get a couple of points when you're not the right criteria for some surveys which is nice and they have a choice of bank transfer or vouchers πŸ™‚
    LOL, Jessy also mentioned Mingle on my diary πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ! I completely missed that, as I was too busy moaning about adulting yesterday. Sorry lovely 😘!

    There is a fair bit of screening out on Y Live, yes, I'd say perhaps 1/3? I've noticed, however, that I'm always screened out round about the 10% mark, so it's not too heinous. That, and they put you in a Β£250 prize draw. If we win that once, it's years of Y Live income! Maybe YouGov don't screen us out, but they pay what, Β£2/hour? :#

    I'll give Mingle a swatch as well.

    They're obviously kinder to you than they are to me then, Ed! I reckon I'm probably 60% screened out, and some so far in that I'm always astonished when I actually make it all the way through one 🀣

    I daren't work out the hourly rate for any of them....😬

    Ooh, just remembered that I do New Vista as well. I'd put them between YouGov and Y-Live in the ranking (sorry Ed 🀣!)

    I think 1poll are getting super screeny of late as well. 4/5 questions in and I get screened out. Frustrating.Β 

    Are you doing neilsoniq panel - it was the replacement for store rewards. Minimal scanning. Pays out at Β£50. Likely to take a year but figure that’s comparable with YouGovΒ
