Online surveys - Anyone do them?

[Cazzabelle]

Just looking for ways to make a bit of extra money while I'm off on mat leave. Does anyone do these online surveys or can anyone recommend which ones are good?

I do Yougov and ValuedOpinions.
Yougov - you have to get to £50 credit before you get a cheque.
Valued opinions you can claim once you have £10. And it comes in vouchers - amazon, M&S, tesco etc.

If you happen to be one of 60 zillion middle aged middleclass married with kids signed up for teh surveys, you are competing with a heck of alot of other people to be selected for a survey so it might take a while - although every little helps...still worth it imo.

My Voice, New Vista and Mindmover all do the £50 cheques too.

I used to do. I spent hours upon hours filling in surveys but never got anything out of it. I don't know how long you would need to do it to get the £50 but I decided it wasn't worth it. There was another one that gives points and you can build up to £5 vouchers, I got close to this but then the surveys dried up! It's far too time consuming for such little reward

I did a few of these when I was a student, but I agree with mmsmum - they're really not a good way to make extra money at all. They take up a ridiculous amount of time and it takes forever to actually get any cash.

I do valued opinions (get £10 amazon voucher every few months) you gov (got £50 sone years ago), my survey (paypal or amazon every so often) pinecone (£4 paypal about every 6 weeks) one poll (building up to £40 but has taken less time than you gov) and some others. Not a way to make lots tbh

I had a brief flirtation with them, but decided life's too short - it's SOOOOOO boring for very little reward.
I did mystery shopping too - this was useful as a way of getting meals out/money off shopping when we were skint, but (unless you really do it full time) is not a good way of upping your cashflow.

Agree with the other posts - not something to make money from but quite good getting the odd £10 voucher for M&S etc. I use valued opinions, toluna, my survey and one poll. They're all similar but my survey seems to be the easiest for me to reach a good amount. I tend to do them in my lunchtime at work as there's nowhere to go really. If I didn't have this spare time I don't think I'd bother.
