    Why don't you just take the points out and earn interest on the cash yourself instead of letting them have it?

    So far, I have had one survey from them. Is the OP still having the problem where the error message flashes up when they are updating stuff? It keeps happening on mine. So annoying!

    He prob meant it, he said on another page that he had nearly £1000 saved up on global test market so it doesnt quite add up.

    Actually i got the points conversion mixed up when i said i had £1000 the correct amount is the £475. I have been doing the surveys on here for 3 years and don't cash out because the points total gives me the motivation to continue.
    I also have £110 on ciao (£1.77 on ciao beta lol), my amazon account is £250 in credit due to Valued opinions and media transfer. I have £67.00 on pure profile, £118.00 0n home of research, 3 £50 payouts on Youguv, 1 £50 payout on your view, my nectar account is 17000 due to tns. I also earn from at least 25 other survey companies.

    This is not a boast it is just encouragement for all you guys who might be put off with few invites to start with. Also don't rule out the free surveys as these sometimes lead to more lucrative oportunities. I am currently a member of a large fragrance companies panel due to a free survey i completed. Even opinion world sometimes pays out for the odd survey or sends you free stuff to test.

    I admit that i should start drawing out my earnings but i just love seeing the points mount up online as it is my main motivation. If anyone wants any advice or info just pm me and if i can help i will.

    I would advise you to draw this cash out ASAP.
    I had reached £20 with one survey company (about 5 years ago - and I cannot remember the name) only for it to disappear without paying out.
    I now always cash out when I reach the required minimum level.

    It must have taken you hours and hours of filling in surveys to reach those amounts.

    I have slo had problems filling in one of the interest surveys. I emailed them about it and got told that they were in the process of updating the surveys so some wouldn't be accessable during this time. This was 3 weeks ago, I'm not hopeful that they will be working anytime soon!
