Yougov payout

Been a member for a couple of years and slowly built up towards the payout level. Got within 3 pounds of the payout level a more than a month ago.

Before i was getting surveys pretty regular but all of a sudden they have totally dried up. I know from people they do pay out but has anyone had anything simmilar?
Hi there! We’ve had to remove your signature. It was so good we removed it because we cannot think of one so good as you had and need to protect others from seeing such a great signature.

    Hi

    I have been paid out by Yougov, and a friend won £250 in their monthly prize draw last year, i can go a good few weeks without getting surveys, may be an idea to check your profile is updated as this can determine what surveys you get offered. I'm about £6 off my next pay out - has taken me about a year this time, getting a few friends or other family members can help as you get he equivalent amount that hey earn from surveys in their first month (i think).

    I'm a member as well and haven't had any surveys for a couple of weeks. It's just your luck really

    They've had a huge overhaul of the website recently. After a long lull, I've started to get their surveys regularly again. I received an email recently which said this overhaul was the reason everyone's quota of surveys had been low for a few months.
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    I have been with them for three years and had the "drying up" experience at £49.50. However, last week I got three surveys and the first one took me to the magic £50 threshold so I am eagerly awaiting my cheque.

    It took me almost 3 years to teach my first £50 which I was delighted with. I'm climbing back up again already, but to my mind I seem to be going faster than I did during the first £50. As someone has already said they're bound to have lulls, but I've has 3 surveys in the past 2 weeks, not amazing maybe, but it's far better than the nowt I'd have had if I wasn't with them!

    Make sure your profiles are complete and up to date, is the only other tip I can give.
