Online surveys dont work for me!

Options
I have been chipping away at this one for about 6 months! I check two sites daily and in total I have made about £4.00 which is yet to be released, any suggestions for good companies? I am prepared to answer the questions but the surveys arent comming my way!:mad:

    I find pinecone to be handy pocket money - its the only survey company I do and get one every few weeks (or so it seems). It will never make me rich though.

    A lot of them let you answer a few questions, find your not right then say sorry and enter you into a draw which you will never win (well its very unlikely).

    Onepoll seems ok so far, but I am not right for a lot of the surveys but I am crawling up, got to about £4 on my first day, that was a few days ago and only on about 50p more now!

    Hi,

    There are two online survey companies that I use regularly. The first:

    hxxp://www.globaltestmarket.com

    I have been doing surveys with them for a while and have earnt just over £50. £25 of that since February. You earn Market points for each survey, when you have 1000 points you can redeem them for a cheque (just over £25). If you do join them, could I ask that you allow me to refer you?

    The second:

    hxxp://uk.lightspeedpanel.com/index.html

    I have earnt £10 through this company since february. The surveys dont come through as often as Global, and the money is paid into paypal. Also I tend to have problems with 25% of the surveys going wrong once I have completed 75% of it!! very annoying!!

    Give them a go and let me know how you find them.

    I know exactly what you mean - I've been trying every survey company I can find for the last month, and keep getting emails offering surveys to complete, but then I never meet the criteria!

    Do you have to be married with kids and a mortgage to complete these surveys? Or do I not earn enough money? If I was earning more, I wouldn't have to do the bloody things!

    I use Valued Opinions and find it to be quite good. I have redeemed a £10 Marks and Spencer voucher and I have been a member since March so it's fair. I am already on £4.75 again so would definately recommend this one.
    If anyone would like to join its www.valuedopinions.co.uk and I find that you do seem to get at least 3-4 surveys a month that you qualify for ranging from 25p to £2.00. The usual reward for a survey is £1/ £1.50 so not bad.

    I am thinking of asking YouGov to set up a new poll ...

    Q: Do you think you will ever reach £50.00:

    a) Before you die?

    b) In your next life?

    c) In the life after that?

    d) As a Time Lord?

    I agree with some of what has been said but I find them worth doing and saving the rewards for once a year (christmas) every little helps and I did once win £100 in one of the prize draw ones so it does happen.

    I have been a member of ciao since about february and my earnings are 9p. I have done loads of surveys and just as i think i'll get somewhere they say i don't meet the criteria. Its ridiculous!
