Description: UK-related political surveys and news.

Newest Review: ... I was unaware that you have to earn £50 before you can get paid. YouGov.com is as easy to join as any of the other sites with just a few questions to answer. You get 100 points just for registering. They work on a points system rather than pounds, 100 is equivalent to £1 and you need 5000 points before you cash out (£50). The only way you can receive your money is from a cheque which you ... more

 ... have to request. Once you are a member you will get invited to surveys via email. There will be a link in the email that will automatically connect you to the survey. If you don't do this then they will normally send you a reminder a few days later....more

I am now a member of many survey sites and I am starting to learn that some are ok and I have received money and vouchers off a few of the survey sites, for example Lightspeed and IPSOS. However some of them seem to have very high payout thresholds and it feels like I will never receive anything for my time, YouGov.com is one of these sites. In fairness I have only been a member of YouGov.com since the end of July. I joined as I thought the surveys might be a little more interesting than some of the consumer survey sites, when I did join though I was unaware that you have to earn £50 before you can get paid. YouGov.com is as easy to join as any of ...  Read the complete review

You Gov is one of the growing number of internet survey sites where you can earn extra pennies (and I mean pennies!). Despite the name they are careful to point out that they are a professional research company and are not "funded, run by or affiliated to the Government or any Government agencies". The name lends it an air of authority and the subject matter of the surveys is more heavyweight than the other survey sites I use, there are a lot of questions about your opinions on political parties and figures so you need to be prepared to divulge this information. Payout is by cheque for £50 and I joined the site 2 months ago after reading a number ...  Read the complete review

Yougov.com is a very interesting site which has recently undergone a makeover. It is now a lot more trendy and seems to want to appeal to a younger audience, with an odd little white round headed man as the logo who appears to tell you "congratulations" when you have completed your survey. Then you have to log in to see how much you got - although this information is always told to you in the survey invitation email before you start. There are prize draw surveys for extra points or a regular prize draw survey in which you can win a £25 cheque -so far, I have not been lucky in winning anything, but have been very fortunate in building up enough points to earn ...  Read the complete review

Yougov.com is a site where you register and take surveys in exchange for cash rewards or entry into a prize draw. About six months ago I joined this survey site after seeing it mentioned by another user on a messageboard. I was originally hoping to earn a bit of extra cash by completing the surveys. Since joining I have realised that the frequency of surveys combined with the level of reward means that you really need to love taking surveys, have an interest in the survey subject or be very patient while your cash incentives add up! It's certainly not a site where you can earn money quickly. There is a big clue to the subject of the surveys available on this ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the much hyped paid survey sites first hit the scene, it has offered people the opportunity to make a little bit of money but of course it's important to know that you can trust the source you are registering with. Perhaps that should above comment should have some sort of a disclaimer attached to it because whether the government can truly be trusted is another matter. Assuming it can of course which is all in hindsight since I have already registered, then this is not a bad site to register with. The registration itself was quick and easy and after you have registered, you simply need to keep an eye upon your email inbox where alerts will be sent ...  Read the complete review
