  • £7.70 paid out from PayPal to bank from UserTesting .
    i also successfully completed a longer moderated UserTesting session which is now confirmed as $60 pending (so about £47) which is due to be paid to PayPal Christmas Day.  (Payouts are now two weeks instead of one. I assume it will process after Christmas .)

  • £2.65 cleared into PayPal from cashback (shopnium)  which I'm new to and lucked out as there were multiple things on there I buy regularly! 

    So now I am at £13/£155  cleared. 
    With a total of £71.60 pending (from vinted and user testing) which will clear in December.  
    So on track I think with £71.60/£155 pending , doing better than I thought. Still not at all sure I'll hit target!

  • £2 cleared from vinted today (they transferred super quick!). 
    So now on £15/£155
    but am at £94 with the completed user testing sessions due to clear in December, which I am really happy about as don't usually do so well, especially in Dec. I have another live testing session scheduled for next week, which if goes ahead and all goes well is another £47.50 (ish - depending on exhange rate of dollars) - though that won't clear til Jan 3rd if completed as it's now 14 days pending before they pay out instead of seven. 
    So basically, any user testing sessions I do after the 18th will not pay in December now but Jan.

  • @Makingabobor2
    I joined today just searching for it on Google.

    Can I ask what P/fc is? (No £ from me as I'm saving myself for January!)

    Welcome @FrugalAspirations, yes please do join us in January. I will make a new thread  for then and put a link to it on there. 
    Sorry...its Prolific, the academic studies survey company. Definitely one of the best survey companies around, although I do know that sometimes they have a waiting list.   We tend to use a lot of abbreviations on these threads as you will find out as you go along....lol. Makes it harder for anyone who works for any companies to do a search and see what we are all saying about them.   If you read an of the debt free diaries you will see people refer to supermarkets a lot as Mr A, Mr S,  Mr T, Mr M, A!d*, etc etc.  Some use the term "The Big River Site".....for that well known online company. It took me a while to recognise what some of them were,
