    If you sign up to Matterbox, its run by the Royal Mail and big companies, every so often they will send you out a box containing all sorts of freebies, it dosent cost anything and the stuff in the box is actually useful, you can either keep the contents or pass them on to someone else, the boxes are sent out a few times a year and they email you to let you know what day it will arrive, its always on a Saturday, and whether the box will fit through the letter box or not.

    The last box contained:

    Cadbury Chocolate Bar.
    Original Source Shower Gel (travel size)
    An abridged novel.
    A roaring Fire DVD
    A BBC Comedy DVD
    And various other things too.

    If you like Soreen products then you can sign up to be a product tester, the link for his is on their competition site, my daughter signed up to this site and recieved an Original Malt Loaf, Cereal Bars and a new fruit loaf they are road testing (sorry not allowed to say what it is). :T

    I've been with consumer research online since Jan '08 and never had a single product test. Been a BzzAgent about the same length of time and only tested a razor and yogurt. Also signed up to matterbox and I'm sure they promised one in February but nothing. :mad:

    I'm with Toluna and after a crap few months they've got their act together and are sending out loads more surveys and products, this year I've had cereals, san.towels and hair products.

    Think I'll try the HP one, can't hurt can it?



    Edit: Just clicked on the HP link and it's for Hewlett Packard, I thought it was for HP Sauce :rotfl:

    Yes I did the same, thought it was for sauce or beans or whatever never thought it could be Hewlett Packard :rotfl:

    A good survey site to join up to is NewVista they pay £1 for every 5 minutes of your time so you can get paid anything up to £10 per survey and know that you will get at least £1 and they automatically pay out by cheque when your account reaches £50.

    Another is Shopandscan, they send you out a barcode scanner, you and the rest of the family scan everything you buy then upload it once a week and receive £1 for doing so, thats a guarenteed £1 per week, at times like Christmas they offer up to 5 times that amount, you also get £10 for signing up and they send out the odd paid survey every now and again.
  • Whenever I try the Litmus test website is says "closed for maintenance try again in February" so either they are not accepting more members or they are generally bad at maintaining their website!

    At some of the survey sites such as YouGov, other members of your household can also sign up to them, if your unsure whether a site will allow more than one household member to join just try to sign them up.








    If at first you dont succeed.......It might be worth trying again!!!
