....And I have now completed it (including the dutiful daughter extra-credit item) πππ Am unashamedly now sitting on my *rse until it's time to start dinner π
A weird job sounds fun - much more interesting than my real one!

I can't believe you've said YouGov is better than Y Live. I strenuously disagree!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.4

Ooh, never heard of them π€! 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 π‘??? At least YouGov you never get screened outΒMortgage start: Β£65,495 (March 2016)

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.3

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 π€£
I daren't work out the hourly rate for any of them....π¬Mortgage start: Β£65,495 (March 2016)

Ooh, just remembered that I do New Vista as well. I'd put them between YouGov and Y-Live in the ranking (sorry Ed π€£!)Mortgage start: Β£65,495 (March 2016)

I think 1poll are getting super screeny of late as well. 4/5 questions in and I get screened out. Frustrating.ΒAre 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 thatβs comparable with YouGovΒDFW (08/08) Β£64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
