Has anyone ever worked with Research Tribe or YouGov for paid "opinions"?

[EastMids2]

I must have clicked a box showing interest in online research through something called Research Tribe and just had email linking to YouGov where, apparently, I can "earn points and turn them into cash for giving my opinion on a range of topics". Does anyone know more or have experience of this? Is it genuine? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
You gov is genuine I do it. Have had a couple of 50 pound payments and am on way to another. You get so many points per survey and once you get 5000 you get money deposited into your account. Sometimes you can get a few a week and at other times maybe one but it's a few minutes to do and you get paid. Xxx

Thank you for that info - guess I'm just a little concerned about giving my bank details out etc, but then this does happen for online shopping etc so maybe I am being a bit unnecessary. Will probably give it a go!

I've done Yougov in the past. Must get back into the habit but yes, they do pay out

My ex does Populus and gets £50 every quarter or so

I've been doing You gov for about 3 years - have just earned enough points for my first £50! I find they sometimes send me loads of surveys, then I might not get one for months.

I have just had my first £50 from yougov but it took about 2 years. Maybe even longer. I used to get loads when I first signed up then they decreased in frequency to about 1 or 2 a week.

It took time but I have had 2 payments of £50 but I got bored of doing some of the really long surveys.

I've done you gov and had 150 quid so far. You can select how often they send you surveys and if you don't want to do one they send you just ignore the email. I could have had more but at times don't bother doing them for months.

Thanks again to everyone for responding. I will definitely give this a go (but be under no illusion of getting rich quick!).
