Hi there again soz to be a pain in bum but when you sign up to Test Spin' do you also need to sign up to 'Redeem it Now' ? =)

... they pay out at £4.00 might take 6 months to get that in cint surveys buy hey ! every penny counts ..lol

aww shame it sounded good to just have to block them now then thanks =) x

I like Test Spin and have had a redemption from them, but do not know the WH Smiths panel....I will try it out.

W H Smith surveys are bad news ive done umpteen surveys and when i questioned about getting paid they said that there was a prob with some server or other,eventually they said that it was up the the company's who set the surveys whether or not to pay you out !!so i promptly unsubscribed ,and yet they still send invites even after emailing the 6 times , steer well clear is my advice!

Interesting, briskem1, I wonder if others have had bad experiences with them too? What about you Tracey? Cint are usually fairly reliable.

When I have qualified for the surveys I have been paid with no problems LizzieAnn its not taking the survey that is the problem , it's more to do with Cint sending them out over their entire network , you really have to be fast completing them because of it.Luckily I am on quite a few of Cint panels so if I miss out on one I can usually make it up on one of the others.

I agree, Tracey, I almost always miss out on DBS, Triaba and WRM Research, all of whom are Cint, and Surveynetwork I nearly always manage to miss these days, but somehow I get Crowdology ones done in time....what do you say? Do you prioritise the ones you have to reach £4 then work on another panel redemption prioritising....I find that a great way to do things?

Exactly the way I use them LizzieAnn , then as soon as hit the threshold I cash out and start on the next .Have had a few problems with credits on survey network over the last week or so , but Angela in customer services is always quick to sort them out , got a reply to my query within the half hour and my credits half hour after that .Just cashed out surveynetwork again , have to say I ts been the best payer this year for me , but the new Vivatic is fast approaching and nibbling on their heels .

I agree with Lizzie.Never get anything on CINT via Triaba or SurveyNetwork but always via Crowdology.

Tracey and John, yes, they are very fast payers and Angela in customer services has also been really helpful to me, too. It is nice to know there are good customer services out there, too.

I have been paid several times on Survey Network and Crowdology.

Surveynetwork I have had over £300 in payments since September last year .There have been a few minor hiccups with credits & payments , but Angela is always fast to rectify them.I cashed out again on Saturday evening and the money was in my PayPal account Sunday morning , I transferred it to my bank account and this morning there it was ready and waiting to be spent .I am very impressed with them .My only niggle is the amount of emails I receive , usually up to five a day .that's probably more to do with the fact they are an international panel and they send out invites in different time zones .

I get 2 emails a day, 7 days a week-automated mail I think.Each mail has surveys 1 to 5 but not always any surveys available.My total payout about £155 since September.Definitely my number 1 site.

I've been searching the net for two weeks, looking for paid survey sites and most of them expect people to work for free. I don't mind a free survey over the phone, as long as it's quick, but when you're looking at computers for hours at home, you should get something for your time, it's only fair.

You should lookat the lists detailed on these forums plus the thumbs up versus the thumbs down information given by others.
Most surveys average out between 25p to £1 with focus groups/telephone surveys giving more.How many sites have you got and what number are you looking at that you would be comfortable with?
My Top 4 are:
Survey Network
My Survey
Vivatic
YourSayPays.

I agree with your tops, John, but I would put Panelbase and Crowdology in there for fast payments and also Valued Opinions....of course, that would make it a top seven instead, wouldn't it?!

I do agree with you, John, Catattack should never never never do any free surveys unless you feel generous and want to donate to charity or try for a prize draw, there are too many companies out there willing to pay you....why waste your time when it is so valuable?
