| Take the points now, or later? | |

By: KatieN Date: 10 Feb 2012 5:53 PM I took a survey for Harris Poll today which brought me to 1640 points: 1600 points are all that's needed for a £10 Amazon voucher. However....for 2500 points I can get a £25 Amazon voucher - that's quite a difference isn't it? for a mere 900 points more I can fare so much better; but do I cash out quickly or save up? Vote now people...lol! |

Fikinz By: FikinzDate: 10 Feb 2012 6:01 PM Depends if you need the voucher, sorry can't help as I tend to cash out as quickly as possible just in case they "disappear", been burnt before! | |

KatieN About me: I love taking part in active, lively discussions. Why I like surveys: It's great to be able to give your opinion, and be active in lots of different communities. By: KatieNDate: 10 Feb 2012 7:08 PM Thank you Fikinz and Janet....I think I'm going to risk it and hold out for the bigger voucher; it does seem like quite a difference! I appreciate what you say about being burnt, Fikinz, but I think Harris are quite a reputable company, and worth a risk. As Janet says, all I've given is my time. | |
Jilly101 About me: Married with 3 kids, live in North West and enjoy reading, cooking and watching various sports on TV Why I like surveys: Mostly for the rewards but I like getting to review and test products and ideas before they hit the shops and I enjoy mini-polls where you get to see how others have voted. By: Jilly101Date: 11 Feb 2012 2:26 AM I'm in similar situation, I have 1840 points and think I may as well hang on for the £25 voucher | |

By: KatieNDate: 11 Feb 2012 8:57 AM Harris seem to be a bit more frequent lately, so maybe Jilly and I will make it to the 2500 mark before too long...We'll keep you posted! ;-) | |

botec By: botecDate: 11 Feb 2012 2:59 PM I agree with everyone else who says 'aim for the 2500'. I hadn't noticed the higher reward was worth so much more, but - alas - it's very much not a pressing concern for me, as Harris has only ever sent me one 100 pt survey since registering last year. I accept the reason may be that I am not particularly demographically interesting, but when I looked at my profile I saw my primary language was inexplicably listed as 'Other'. Could that be it? I suspect not many surveys are targeted at fluent speakers of Other. | |
serena About me: I am a housewife currently, and my husband and 2 adult sons work full time, so i look after the house and finances. Why I like surveys: I enjoy giving my opinion and earning a little extra to help out with the shopping now and again and it keeps me occupied. By: serenaDate: 11 Feb 2012 3:12 PM Its an easy mistake to make Botec, look at me, i did not realize that on Pureprofile my personal profile was wrong and i did not get any surveys from them, until i had a look through everything to double check and amended it, then i got surveys regularly! So it just goes to show that sometimes its not always their fault, but with Pureprofile as i have said before i do not know how this happened as you fill these out when you register as standard? | |

By: serenaDate: 11 Feb 2012 3:27 PM Harris poll will not let me join i dont know if they have a glich on their site but i am trying to register on the English site but its not having it, saying i either already have account(which i dont)and they need a verified email I GIVE UP! I have never really known where to join there site before, bit disappointed! | |
LizzieAnn About me: I love surveys! You can't tell from reading any of my posts, though, can you?! I am a full time worker with two children and a full time house husband, are you jealous? Why I like surveys: They are fun, interesting and lucrative, not to mention the fact that they can lead to amazing things! By: LizzieAnnDate: 11 Feb 2012 6:41 PM I will never, ever, ever take the bigger voucher because I always get really concerned the company will mystically disappear overnight...I always redeem as soon as I hit the redemption threshold in any of the panels.....it is vital to realize that these companies are on tenuous ground, some of them, and I am not saying Harris is, but the economic climate being what it is, things change so rapidly that you have to get it while the going is good!! | |

By: KatieNDate: 11 Feb 2012 7:40 PM Will do, Lizzie. I share your view about cashing out as soon as possible - but it looks soooooooooooo tempting! I'm doing the same thing with MySurvey at the moment; I've clocked up just over 3000 points and I think I need to get to 3440 (or something like that) for a £30 Paypal payout...Not sure I'll carry on saving though; I may opt for the £20 Paypal. | |

Janmal By: JanmalDate: 12 Feb 2012 4:58 PM I have just checked my profile on Harris and found too that my language is 'other', so thanks to Botec for pointing me in the right direction. | |
botec By: botecDate: 14 Feb 2012 12:58 PM Janmal, glad to be of limited help. Is everyone else listed as a primary English speaker, where appropriate? I'd not be surprised if Other just means that no alternative language was provided. | |
