Advantages: Range of rewards and easy to get points

Disadvantages: Don't email you for every survey you can take

This website is a standard survey site, which works in two ways. Firstly, you complete surveys for points in order to redeem a wide range of rewards from Boots vouchers to Paypal payments to physical goods such as hairdryers. Secondly, you can collect prize draw entries (though completing mini polls and for beginning surveys you're not eligible for). Each month winners receive cash sums of £100 and downwards.

The website is clearly laid out and easy to access, if boring. Everything is easy to find and reasonably fast loading. One of the interesting features is the points catalogue, which is worth a good browse. However, I would say that the vouchers and paypal payments are better value than any of the products. You can also choose to donate directly to charity, though I'm not sure whether many people do this as it would be easier and more efficient to donate out of your own pocket, and if you can't afford to then surely you'd be reaping the rewards of your hard work yourself rather than donating it away? Anyway, it's a thoughtful option.

The surveys are easy to fill out, and are quick. Often it's a case of checking boxes or circles. I have had surveys that rely on sound and video, which take a bit longer and can require a bit more expertise with a computer, but you are usually talked through that. Most of the time an estimate is given of how long it will take to complete, usually between 15-20 minutes, but I'm usually done in half the time.

One of the things I've found is that they don't always email you when there's a survey available for you to take on the homepage of the site. As such, I keep the webpage open as often as I can and hit refresh regularly. Doing this I've had a lot more survey offers than I would have done waiting for emails from them. Many of the surveys are worth 110 points, which puts you just over 1/5 of the way to a £5 paypal voucher. However, I have done one worth 300 points.

Summary: A great website with a well thought out rewards system
