  • Hi

    :T Thanks everyone for all your replies - although annoying that some of these companies seem to be cheating us screening us out when so far into the survey its good to know I'm not the only one.

    Thanks also for the tips on who is good at paying for surveys. I agree One Poll are pretty good and I have also done reasonably well with lightspeed until the other night when I was screened out of 3 in a row :mad:

    I once got £5 paid into my Paypal account but unfortuately i can't remeber who it was from so no idea how many surveys i did to get that. One of my problems is I joined so many all at once that i have probably got bits of money and ponts all over the place - really need to learn to keep track of these things.

    Oh well I shall keep battling on - every little helps

    Has anyone had problems with home of research?

    Just lately ive completed surveys and been told at the end I completed it too quick and my survey was rejected and therefore wont get paid! Happened the last 3 out of 5 surveys and when I email them Im told nothing they can do as they dont control the surveys. Really annoying

    Home of Research seem to have gone downhill, I've resorted to taking screenshots of the completion page when I do surveys for them and also my points value never seems to increase so I take screen shots of this too, if it happens again I'm going to contact them. I also had to email them several times about a focus group I took part in, it's ridiculous. I can second the Onepoll advice though, it's so easy and I'm not far from my cash out limit. Avoid Ciao, I'm only doing them until I get £5 to cashout and then leave, 10p for 30 minutes, yeah right!! That's before I get screened out for just confirming my name. Good luck everyone!

  • Yes, I too have been having trouble with Ciao. It's so annoying to spend several minutes on their questions only to be told 'sorry, you don't qualify'. Lightspeed aren't too bad. I am going to try some of the ones mentioned here and see if they are any better.

    The pay on Ciao is too low now IMO.

    I stopped doing them when I was offered 17p for a 20 minute survey :eek:
    Here I go again on my own....
