i see.will wait till my one arrives.

quick question. how long does it take for your cheque to arrive? its now the 12th of jan and still nothing? First time I've got the the magic 50

Assuming you had 50 points at the end of December, you should receive it any day now. I've had loads of payments from them and they always come. Might be worth logging in and checking your postal address is correct, and you can see if they have taken your points away which means its in the system!

I've found them to be really good with paying out, but it takes forever and a day sometimes to get surveys and reach the magic 5-0! Like angielou123 said, check your current points balance. Might want to drop them an email if you're concerned at having not received it yet, to ask if they can advise on when it might be sent out

AAAAAARGHHH first time seeing a £4 one today, took ages and i got a test question wrong!!! raging!

I signed up to Populus last week, havent had any surveys yet. Dont want to fall into the YouGov trap where you build up points to 1 £50 cashout but it takes age as the survey are so infrequent

You do get surveys invites through by e-mail from Populislive. I had a £1 one yesterday as well as a £4 survey through last night. Completed the £4 one this morning took me under 20 mins to complete.

I cash out from there every 2-3 months usually. Just had a £5 study today. The way to look at all these slower websites is it is still £100s over the year, or £1000s for some of us.

Just had a look and I've had £10 this month so far, which is about right for this point of the month.

Yes definitely worth earning from Populuslive. I cash out about 3-4 months despite not having brilliant demographics.

 

[DevilsMoJo]

They've gone downhill the last few months.

They waste your time by putting the attention check/demographic questions before the actual screening question.

They lie by saying they have received enough responses from your demographic, even though it's only been 10 minutes between receiving the email and starting the survey.

They want responses from people who do not need to take online surveys to make money. If you have a degree you're not going to be answering surveys for £1-5 a go

I’m signed up with PopLive and so is the wife. We often get the same survey invites but they usually arrive a few days apart. This might explain why we (and you) get those seemingly quick screenouts.

Generally, this is still the best paying survey site around.

 

[Blackpepper1]

Just love Populuslive. One I hardly ever get screened out of survey wise and pays well.

 

[Queen Jess]

I just get screened out all the time. No idea what type of people they want, but it obviously isn't me!

If you are doing surveys elsewhere maybe you are completing the Populislive type ones somewhere else therefore you would get screened out. Might help to clear your cookies before trying the Populislive ones and see if you can complete them alright then. My demographics are not good therefore most survey sites don't work well for me but Populislive is the one I actually do alright from.

Thanks, but I doubt this is the problem as it's been a problem for about a year and I have been through long periods of doing no surveys at all

 

[Falanouc]

I probably get screened out of about 1/3 of the invites I get but I do complete a few on other sites. It's one of the best paying for time taken to fill them in but I can cashout £50 on other sites a lot quicker because there are fewer invites on Pop. Always drop everything if one appears in my inbox though - priorities!

 

[DevilsMoJo]

Just got a survey invite from them 5 minutes ago and immediately after entering my DOB/post code, I got this

We are very sorry, but unfortunately you are either not eligible for this survey or the survey is now closed.

Ridiculous.
