    No, you need to receive an invite from the company running it, they don't recruit often. It's no surprise is it really as once you're on it, you're not likely to want to leave as it is easy money. I've been on it years and still love getting my money through the post. I emailed them asking if my friend could join and they basically said they don't often take new people on, but if you're signed up to the sights mentioned above you'll stand as good a chance as anyone else.

    I was a member of this TNS survey back in 05/06. I used my dad's invitation as he thought it was junkmail. i dont think he knew what texts were back then

    thought it was bull**** at first as i didnt receive any money for the info i sent but still did it for a few months, was gonna stop but continued as i was using my contract allowance.

    Thought something was dodgy when i saw a TNS envelope in the bin about four months later. turned out that my dad got the post and took the cash. He didnt even question why someone was sending him cash.

    Loved this scheme as it more than paid for the cost of my contract

    I got kicked out when i got lazy, and saved about two dozen barcodes on my phone and kept sending those off instead of actual info
    I love the tenners in the post!!!

    I told a mate who was a mail sorter about TNS and that they sent cash thru post. he said he often saw lots of envelopes with the pink tns logo and was tempted to take a few but said he never did.

    have to say its the posty's i worry about, if only they knew what they delivered, the vouchers, the cash, in this modern day surely its quicker and more secure to send such things online

    touch wood ive never had anything go missing
