    Yougov online surveys
    http://yougov.co.uk/panel/join-yougov-panel/?gclid=CNTcppLAkLMCFSbItAodRngAyQ

    Each survey takes between eight and 20 minutes, for each completed you get
    50p for a short one or 75p for a longer one up to £1,
    When you accumulate £50 you can cash in and they send you a cheque instantly

    They also have prize surveys if you so wish,

    Most of the surveys are about high st shops or goods, along with newspapers and the ODD political one
    You can choose what you want to be sent, and are under no obligation to actually complete them
    I have done it for years and had about £600 so far

      Thank you Jack, all what I have seen so far is a lot of time wasting (mind I have only just started), which, for somebody that look forward to provide its honest opinion is quite frustrating.
      Just a recent example...they ask you make a survey for a company (for which you have to join) .... that will give you £10 earning but they fail to mention that it costs £10 a month to be a member!

      I did Mystery Shopping for a few months.
      The pay was usually £8-10 per shop and they paid each month, but the hourly rate was questionable, unless you did several similar ones together.
      There are many similar companies operating in different areas, so I won't specify the one I was involved with.
      I would suggest you check out Google for info. before you start - there are a few questionable ones about.

      Valued Opinions is the best one I have used. You don't get paid in cash but vouchers for amazon, tesco, itunes etc. Each survey is between 50p-£3.50 and only takes between 5-30 minutes to do. I usually get a voucher every 3 months or so for £10 but I don't do them as regularly as I used to do.

      Yougov gives you longer surveys and have been with them for over 3 years and still haven't got anywhere near to getting the £50 yet. I will admit I gave up though.

      Globaltestmarket are pretty rubbish too. Was with them for over a year before I got my £35 cheque in the post.

        Certainly it pays off to be an active shopper of the most up to date products, and having no time or interest in filling a survey because you have plenty of money and you are always somewhere, shopping!
