how do how do you manage 3 searches, it takes so long on 2nd one?

Just click the list up and down. In fact it doesn't matter if you click the same link several times in a row. After a few times, just wait a minute or so and the bill shows up. For the third one the same, just use a different browser or incognito after it it otherwise means you click the links a 100 times.

I think I can safely say that Swagbucks righr now is the worst I have known it, the surveys are awful and I've waited a week for my last redemption.

Thankfully there are better and more reliable payers out there.

What would they be if you don't mind sharing them? 

I find going direct with the survey sites themselves, sure they pay higher per survey, but at one survey every week or other week - I'd rather go with the lower pay and higher yield of SB, as bad as they are, at least there's a steady daily flow most of the time. That's the trade-off I suppose - less opportunities and higher pay or higher volume and lower pay.

For individual surveys the YouGov and Ylive are much much better, you don't get anywhere as near as many as they're invite only but you also don't get many DQ you after spending time on them.

And the good thing about them being invite only is that you don't feel the need to chase them.

Since New Year I've also been doing Qmee, got about £70 on surveys since then whereas Swagbucks has only got me £10 in nearly 3 weeks.

Oh yes, I've been there done that with YouGov, I think it took about 4 years to get a £50 voucher then after I'd redeemed it they banned me (I did get the voucher eventually but I never did find out what they banned me for!).


Watch out for a survey today about travel - a survey design I haven't seen before, after a 10-15 survey it stats the the "second half" of the survey is about to start and requires downloading a separate program to install. For which they can go fly off a cliff!

I used YouGov several years ago, fortunately I won one of their draws so got to the payout point a bit quicker than I would have done otherwise - from what I remember they had a very poor hourly rate (50p a survey buys 2.5 mins of my time)
At £12/hour Ylive is one I still use and usually get more than 1 £50 payout a year - £50 takes 4 h 10 mins of surveys, Swagbucks at £1 an hour would take 50 hours (at 20p an hour it is 250 hours)
I get £150 plus a year from Consumer Pulse also at an excellent hourly rate. Although Pinecone has a good hourly rate with my demographics I get very few surveys from them

I find their surveys very quick to be fair, if there is a section which doesn't apply to you they skip it more often than not rather than DQ. Throw in the finance thing and its £50/70 every 3 months for very little effort.

They used to have some surveys that took 10 mins or more for 50p but I left them years ago (none of them took 2.5 mins or less)

Each to their own, they all take less than 10 mins, usually about 4 or 5.
