*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

I've been asked to about the consumer panels I'be been invited to join - so I thought I'd share the info.

Danone and Britvic I got invited through Valued Opinions - where at the end they say can they contact you for further input? - I always say yes. This is how I got the invites.

For the philadelphia one (£10 Amazon for signing up - plus bonuses here and there) I won a competition and they found out my email addy from there, but if you google philadelphia or Kraft and join the mailing list, they send invites to members randomly. You get free money off vouchers too

I hope this helps.

Well done Rufus - you're doing really well with it! How does it compare to Ciao? Is it better for you?

That's brilliant, Elysia! Very helpful. I must get started after Christmas!

Hi all

Sorry to butt in, just wanted to add a list of all of the survey sites I belong to and also the estimates on what I've earned this year. Hopefully some people will find it helpful? If you search on google you will find most of them, or if you have a cashback account on topcashback, quidco etc then often you get cashback for signing up....

HTH, any questions give me a shout!

Global Test Market - American site, earn market points, need £50 for a payout- have declined in the number of surveys in the last year.

Lightspeed/My survey -my personal fave, can earn lots for clicking on surveys now so even if you don't qualify you get points. Earnt approx £40 cash this year.

New Vista live Bit hit and miss, lots of screenouts but £1-£3 per survey I think?

One poll -£40 payout but quick surveys.

Panelbase "]Again bit hit and miss but fairly good reward levels

Pure ProfileSimilar to lightspeed, you earn points even if screened out. £25 payout which I have just reached.

Rewarded opinions - £25 payout, fairly regular surveys and quite interesting.

Valued Opinions: Some swear by this, personally I have been screened out of every survey (I must smell!) - worth a try for a month or so?

Surveyhead -American site, can be hit or miss but worth a try


Surveys.com Rubbish, can never see points total and unsure how to claim- prob avoid!

Maximiles Not surveys as such but emails which you click on for points but you need about 7000 points for a voucher which takes ages!!

Ipsos I personally think this has improved loads- 700 points for cashout at £5 voucher but have had a fair few

Song people: £20 amazon vouchers, quite interesting as you get to listen to music and give your opinion on multichoice- not hard work and usually pop/chart music!

Toluna best by far! 80,000 points to cashout for £15 voucher. Have earned approx £100 this year purely by doing the daily sponsored polls every few days. Short and easy.

Zoom Not really worth the effort, random rewards

Hi panel Ditto zoom!
