First of all, I won't post my survey site nicknames for referral because I consider that spam.

I mainly wondered if any of you use any, and which ones? I was on 'Caio!' but I was getting screened out each time. What finally took the biscuit on Caio! was getting 20 minutes into a survey only then to be screened out, so I cancelled my Caio! account. The next one I tried was Myvoice. This proved much better, not getting screened often, and if I did, there was always the 5p or 10p consolation. Two weeks ago, I had enough money on the Myvoice account to redeem £20 of Sainsbury's but only £10 emerged in the post. Any OcUK experiences to share?
 
Used iPoints for a while after a mate recommended it, intended on getting the £10 odeon vouchers, they changed to Maximiles then removed the Odeon vouchers, nothing really worth getting now :/
 
I use pinecone research, they pay £3 for a survey (although they can be few and far between) but they have sent me products to test in the past.
 
I use valued opinions, its very good and ive earnt 50 quid in tesco vouchers in just over 6 months and they send me plenty, they also sent me a tester product once.

I use yougov as well but this seems to take ages to get any points!!
 
Too much effort, 9 months for £100. You could just do a few extra shifts or get a weekend job for erm one weekend.

Not much effort at all really. Besides, I don't work shifts and I like my weekends. It goes straight from my paypal account to my steam account :)

EDIT: Turns out it has only been six months
 
i use yougov

i used that a handful of times then they started putting me in a draw instead of the 50p....damn i wanted my 50p!

anyway it must have been the slowest way on earth to make money even if they gave 50p per survey ....so i got a job instead :p
 
I've got just under 4000 points on YouGov and I think I've been a member for over 5 years but I rarely do it now as it's a bit tedious :p
I'll get my £50 cheque one day, although £5 a year is a pretty poor return..
 
I tried euroclix, gambled all my clix away and couldn't be arsed after a short while, it gets very tiring. Rather go work an extra evening for extra cash than sitting at my pc answering sometimes ridiculous questions.
 
Valued Opinions here too. You can easily make £10-20 per month if you do most of them.

It can be annoying when you get about 3 mins in and it says they have enough of your category, but still nice for Tesco vouchers if you have a few minutes a week.
 
each to thier own but i can think of better ways to earn more money in less time.
So i think i will pass when it comes to theses stupid surveys.

I guess a good way to do it is to force people to do them for you, i see this a lot in fake pirated software, where it may ask for a password and the only way to get one is to do about 5 surveys.
 
i used to do the uk lightspeedsurvey site they paid a few quid per survey but you would only earn 10-15quid a month (minimum payout was something like 2quid)
 
I've finally got to the £50 cheque on YouGov. Not going to bother doing it again as it took like 2 years.

I also used another one called pureprofile. I liked this a bit more as the money withdrawal limit was a lot lower, £25 I think. The surveys were also a lot more common and generally a higher pay.

Stopped doing all this now as they simply take too long!
