CINT is the company who in my opinion has their finger in most survey pies.....they are the following panels (not all of which I am a member of!!)

Consumer Holiday and Travel UK Panel
Crowdology
DBS Business On-Demand UK
DBS Patients UK
Honest Rewards Panel
OnePoll+
Opinea UK
Response Panel
Triaba Panel UK
WRM Research Panel UK

and they usually pay out on a really low amount like £4 straight into your paypal account (which you probably already know!!)

The second question is more to do with the fact that different answers will be given by people in different moods...I feel it is psychological really.....and helps to gauge the mood of the nation in the current economic climate...no matter what the subject matter of the survey! I like all the smiley faces in varying degrees of happiness and sadness that you get to chose from!! did you just do a Winkle survey on that subject, Crusty?!! I think they are nice...bright yellow cheerful background...I did write to Winkle once to see if they had a panel, but no reply...

The only problem that I find with CINT via third party sites is that the quota is met very quickly, especially the £2 plus surveys.It's get in quick or miss out I'm afraid.

Sure, I have been stuck below £4 for absolutely ages on most of the above panels, I have to say, but that is because they are so popular as you get paid INSTANTLY...very few other panels do that.
