For those of us doing online surveys

I thought I’d make a page for those of us that are doing online surveys ie:
qmee
branded surveys
curious cat
prime opinion etc

Just so we can compare notes really on which sites we are doing well on and which ones we’re avoiding at the moment.

Ive come to the conclusion that I need to spread my usage over several platforms, rather than just sticking with one or two. purely because I seem to get a lot of declines on ones I use a lot.

Qmee has been dire for me for a few weeks now. Huge amount of declines.

Branded Surveys is my go to until the last two weeks and now getting declined a lot

prime opinion is fairing well but of course you have to hit their targets to be able to withdraw.

Eureka Surveys were very good. £4 cashout but these have slowed too.

Obviously it’s the time of year too but would be interesting to read others point of view

Have you tried swagbucks? That was my go to when I used to do surveys

twiddlingthumbs69 · 01/08/2025 12:49

Yes, tried them a while ago. Will download it again, thanks

MSR is pretty good. I’ve been using it for years.

LuxuryWoman2020 · 01/08/2025 18:43

I use Prolific which is the highest paying and most interesting, Nectar Canvass, E-Rewards and Branded.
I was very fond of Attapoll until they banned me unfairly!

I got banned from AttaPoll too. No idea why!

Prolific works well for me. I make about £20 a week.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 01/08/2025 19:14

Yep, I was banned from Prolific too. No idea why

@LG911 what is MSR?

OP posts:
AllBranEater · 02/08/2025 15:33

I do prolific - I make between £50-150 a week.

chiefscoutsgoldaward · 02/08/2025 15:46

I do Prolific as well - I've been lucky enough to get on the specialised AI group and have made several thousand over the last year. When those aren't around I'm more in the £100 a month category, if I'm lucky!

Other than that I do One Poll, You Gov, Lifepoints, Y Live, Norstat and Opinium. Maybe make another £50 a month between them? That's just while watching tv in the evenings though.

I used to do Branded Surveys and Valued Opinions but Branded Surveys stopped letting me login for no apparent reason, and I got banned from Valued Opinions (suspiciously just before I was due to cash out).

Allnewtometoo · 04/08/2025 10:42

Im interested to know how these work. Is the money classed as earnings? Im trying hard to sort my finances out and a bit extra would really help!

twiddlingthumbs69 · 05/08/2025 10:10

So is anyone finding that all survey platforms are very quiet at the moment?

OP posts:
AllBranEater · 05/08/2025 19:16

yes, definitely

twiddlingthumbs69 · 06/08/2025 12:23

@AllBranEaterphew! Thought I was just me. A real slog atm

I find the surveys are there but you get timed out constantly!!

twiddlingthumbs69 · 08/08/2025 15:44

@CheeseAndPineappleHedgehog me too. I’ve cleared cache etc multiple times. I think there just few and far between atm and the decent ones fill up as soon as they’re released.

Cloud Research is a good one. It’s an offshoot of Prolific. Registered Thursday and accepted this morning. Already done 4 surveys. Very similar to prolific but only shows payouts in dollars.

popandchoc · 10/08/2025 19:25

I use prolific , Norstatpanel , ylive , Qmee and Vypr . Also joined one pulse recently .

FrogsAndDaffodils · 11/08/2025 12:25

@twiddlingthumbs69 Ive just started doing surveys, which other sites can you recommend? Ive sent you a PM.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 11/08/2025 12:42

@FrogsAndDaffodils hi, currently I’m doing Qmee, branded surveys and Prime Opinion.
got a bit of a love hate with Qmee as I’m getting an awful lot of declines. If you can get onto Prolific it’s the holy grail. Unfortunately they do suddenly knock you off their panel for no reason and once your off, your off. But while I was on I made a good £60 per week, purely from them.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 11/08/2025 12:44

@popandchoc I just signed up to Vypr, didn’t know about that one. How are you finding it? 10 points a steer? Have you managed to get any higher point ones?

OP posts:
rainbowstardrops · 11/08/2025 12:45

I’m tempted to look into this but wasn’t sure if they were a con or something

1Strawberrycat · 11/08/2025 13:02

How do you start doing surveys?

LuxuryWoman2020 · 11/08/2025 13:23

1Strawberrycat · 11/08/2025 13:02

How do you start doing surveys?

Literally just sign up to the sites mentioned. It's all very straightforward.

I also do Vypr and it's OK, very quick but probably only a fiver a month.

FrogsAndDaffodils · 11/08/2025 13:49

@twiddlingthumbs69
Thanks! Will sign up to those!
