If you are a UK resident and looking for paid survey sites that accept members from the United Kingdom, this list is for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I get a lot of emails and tweets from our international readers who want to know about survey sites that accept members in their country.<\/p>\n
For that reason, I started publishing paid survey sites lists specific to different countries. A few days ago I published a list of legitimate Canadian paid survey sites<\/a> for our Canadian readers. So, if you live in Canada, you may want to read that post.<\/p>\n The next list will probably be Australia.<\/p>\n But I will try to cover any country that has marketing research companies with online survey panels in the next few weeks\/months.<\/p>\n So, be sure to bookmark SurveySatrap or subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when I publish a list of survey sites that accept members from your country of residence.<\/p>\n For now, here is a list of…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Springboard Panel<\/strong><\/a> For each survey you take, you either earn “Survey Cash” or an entry into their prize draws to win gift certificates, products, or cash.<\/p>\n You can cash out once you have reached 25 Survey Cash.<\/p>\n You can choose a \u00a325 Amazon gift e-card, a \u00a325 cheque, a \u00a325 deposit into your PayPal account or a \u00a325 donation to a UK charitable organization.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Pinecone Research<\/strong><\/a> The pay out here is great, but they seldom actively solicit for new members.<\/p>\n You can expect a minimum of \u00a33 pay out for every individual survey completed. But joining this site is not easy as they don’t accept members year around. moreover, its is by invitation only.<\/p>\n Luckily, I have got that special invitation link that you can use to sign up. But harry up and sign up because they only leave the door open for a short period of time.<\/p>\n Once you become a full-fledged member, you will get your pay out in cash via PayPal.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. GfK MediaView Panel<\/strong><\/a> You can later redeem these points for a combination of high street vouchers. Take note that the cash in starts only from 1500 points (equivalent to \u00a315).<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Viewsbank Surveys<\/strong><\/a> Earnings Potential: Most at Viewsbank claim that they can easily make \u00a315-\u00a320 a month.<\/p>\n The cash in limit is \u00a36.00, and this amount will be automatically credited into your PayPal account. Payments are generally prompt and on schedule; take note that this transfer between your Viewsbank account and your PayPal account takes place on the first Tuesday of every month.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. MySurvey<\/strong><\/a> It helps also that there are plenty of surveys to choose from, and cash payments are made out to the popular payment platform, PayPal.<\/p>\n In order to get to the \u00a33 threshold, you will need to accumulate 345 points. Or if you prefer, you can exchange 550 points for a \u00a35 Argos voucher.<\/p>\n If you are a big fan of Amazon, you can always insist on a \u00a310 Amazon voucher, provided that you are ready to trade 1250 points for it.<\/p>\n Though, you would realize that you could claim more cash value for that same 1250 points, if you choose to credit it into your PayPal account, do your math!<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. GlobalTestMarket<\/strong><\/a> Here, you can cash in after your account has accumulated $50 (approximately >\u00a330).<\/p>\n This survey site is not the most prompt paymaster, as the check only comes in just under two months time. But the good thing here is that every check would both \u00a330-\u00a340 a piece (actual amount would be subject to the prevailing exchange rate), so that makes it less annoying.<\/p>\n There are times when the site deems you unqualified after a few questions, but they are kind enough to credit a few points to you anyway.<\/p>\n In addition to paid surveys, there are also other surveys that reward you with only entries into some form of prize draw.<\/p>\n I suggest stick to just paid surveys at GlobalTestMarket, if you deem your time valuable.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. Toluna<\/strong><\/a> In order to get to your first \u00a315 retail voucher, you will need to have 80,000 points credited into your account. The retail partners in this program include Amazon and Love2shop.<\/p>\n Most complaints I came across about Toluna are that the retail vouchers would arrive to the requesters late. Moreover, I also observed some unhappiness about Toluna taking their sweet time to deposit your points into the account, after members completed their surveys.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. Opinion Outpost<\/strong><\/a> They certainly could make do with more surveys (both in terms of number and frequency). However, since the payout threshold is only \u00a33, you can see real rewards quickly.<\/p>\n Other types of surveys do not pay you either in vouchers or cash, but simply enter you into prize draws – no, definitely not for me.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9. SurveySavvy<\/strong><\/a> This online research site claims to have already paid out in excess of $13 million to their survey participants. It is lucrative here, as they have no qualm whatsoever to pay out $20 or even more for every completion of survey.<\/p>\n Additionally, earning also comes in the form of a good preferable program.<\/p>\n For every piece of survey done by your direct referral, you get to make two dollars. If the work is from your in direct referral, you still stand to make one dollar each.<\/p>\n You could even make money even as you are not doing any survey. They have a system that pays 50 selected individuals $10 monthly, on condition that these folks are not able to get their hands on even a single serve due to mismatch of qualification.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10. Nielsen Netratings UK<\/strong><\/a> With their Nielsen Netratings UK, you now have a chance to influence the future of the Internet.<\/p>\n Start by downloading and installing a Nielsen\/NetRatings Online software. It will help Netratings to appreciate the Internet usage patterns of general netizens.<\/p>\n In addition, members are also invited to participate in their panel surveys and there are some fabulous prizes to be won! Every survey completion will entitle you to a draw of your choice sweepstakes. The pay out varies across sweepstakes, but I had seen a top prize of \u00a330,000 cash here.<\/p>\n Moreover, they also conduct a monthly Prize Draw for new members. If that is not enough to entice you, you will be glad to hear that this survey panel picks up 150 lucky winners to share a \u00a330,000 pot at the end of the year, provided you stay active from now till then!<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11. Homescan Consumer Panel<\/strong><\/a> It is fast and it is easy.<\/p>\n Your scanner will store all these data before you transmit it across after one-week duration.<\/p>\n You will be rewarded with great thank you gifts, exchanged from their gift points, their currency to compensate you for every round of work done.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12. Ipsos<\/strong><\/a> The choices of the surveys are wide and most members at Ipsos can easily make \u00a310 or possibly more of Amazon vouchers monthly through survey participation.<\/p>\n Online feedback gathered suggests that the company is completely upfront on the length and payment of individual survey, so this is helpful before its members can decide to take up the survey or not.<\/p>\n Reward comes in the form of retail vouchers, primarily from John Lewis and Amazon.<\/p>\n After you put in a request for redemption, the voucher would reach your home in two to three weeks time.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13. Valued Opinions<\/strong><\/a> The pay out here is pretty decent, with every completed survey fetching you \u00a31-\u00a35. But to take notice that there is a waiting time of 28 days for the retail vouchers to arrive, from the time you decide to redeem your points.<\/p>\n Apparently things didn’t go well last year, with alleged technical glitches on their system.<\/p>\n Some members have even complained about points that took forever to arrive after they completed their tasks. But in general, most agree that situations typically get resolved when you e-mail them.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14. OpinionWorld<\/strong><\/a> The US site and the UK site look kind of similar, so make sure you type in the right url address (it is Opinionworld.co.uk, not the US site Opinionworld.com).<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 15. Harris Poll Online<\/strong><\/a> Redemption of HiPoints is done online for a variety of products from participating vendors. Its Hipoints Folios, an extensive catalogue covering merchandize of all natures, allows members to choose from Amazon gift vouchers, beauty products, small electronics, handy travel items.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16. Swagbucks<\/strong><\/a> The reward here comes in the form of ‘swag points’ to compensate your time and effort to partake in their polls and surveys.<\/p>\n Other ways to add to your account include watching videos, conducting search on swagbucks page (rather than Google) and even play free online games.<\/p>\n You can make your redemption later at their Reward Store. With the wide array of products there, you can naturally assume some rewards stand out in term of value, so take your time to compare and assess your need.<\/p>\n Some are no-brainer comparison, like you can exchange 1,050 points for \u00a35 cash via PayPal, but you actually get a \u00a35 Amazon voucher in exchange for 850 points.<\/p>\n Note that not all rewards carry GBP denomination, as you will find gift cards in US dollars too, so remember to do your conversion as you select and claim your rewards.<\/p>\n Pay attention that not all polls are equal at Swagbucks. Certain polls will reward you with points once a day, so it does not pay if you take the trouble to answer a second poll on that same day. Make a habit to check through all terms and conditions carefully before you attempt any poll.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 17. MindMover<\/strong><\/a> When your account hits \u00a320, you can request for payment via PayPal.<\/p>\n It will take two weeks (sometimes three) for your PayPal account to be credited.<\/p>\n While the amount of work is nothing to be excited about, the nature of survey is often more fun, probably because the surveys it undertakes are more selective.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18. PureProfile<\/strong><\/a> Expect no more than a couple of surveys every month, and it can be a long frustrating period (ranging from nine months to two years) before you are able to hit the 25 pounds threshold.<\/p>\n There is no e-mail or any form of alerts here. It is entirely up to you to log on to their website to check if any work is available. No two ways about it, you just have to keep an active lookup if you desire more work.<\/p>\n The threshold specified is \u00a325. Once you get there, it is paid directly into your bank account.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 19. iPoll<\/strong><\/a> E-mail invitations are sent out to you whenever a new survey is made available. You will be rewarded with points for every survey completion.<\/p>\n After you satisfied the minimum required threshold level, the points you accumulate can be exchanged for vouchers, which are supported by their many online stores partners.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can choose to get cash – taking the points out with equivalent cash value. They use Paypal as the payment platform.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20. American Consumer Opinion<\/strong><\/a> The reward is paid to you in cash for every survey completion. Indeed, the reward can be generous, ranging from US$4 to US$25.<\/p>\n The nature of work here includes product testing, advertisement evaluation, and in general, provides feedback to companies on what impresses you, don’t impress you, and what you look for in the generation of products.<\/p>\n The reward comes in the form of check, which you will receive within 4 weeks of survey completion.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nIf I had to join only one UK survey site, it would be this one!<\/p>\n\n
\nFor worthwhile reward, look no further than Pinecone.<\/p>\n\n
\nGfK is the brainchild of popular international market research company GfK. This online survey panel pays you points for every completed survey.<\/p>\n\n
\nViewsbank is not structured to cater for online survey takers only. It has a variety of programs so members can choose to take polls, do mystery shopping, complete online surveys and conduct internet research, all come with decent payment.<\/p>\n\n
\nHere you are guaranteed of quick income, since all it takes is a lowly \u00a33 before you can request for cash out.<\/p>\n\n
\nEven though this is a US survey site, payment is made in sterling through check. Members of GlobalTestMarket are known to easily make \u00a3300 a year through the completion of surveys.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is yet one more survey site that could be really rewarding. Some members boast about getting Amazon vouchers regularly, though I also notice some are apparently not happy about how fast they get their payments.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is popular because of its low cash in threshold. You will have two options here, you either receive Amazon vouchers or have your cash deposited into PayPal.<\/p>\n\n
\nLuth Research, the leader in public opinion research, is the company behind SurveySavvy.<\/p>\n\n
\nFor over half a century, Nielsen Media Research and the Nielsen Television Family plays an active part in shaping the programming and trends of modern TV.<\/p>\n\n
\nMembership is free. A hand-held scanner will be handed to you for you to scan bar codes on your grocery purchases.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is my all-time favorite, largely because they are arguably the best pay master among paid survey sites.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis one is regarded as one of the well established players in the paid survey market. As in the case of Toluna, they pay in retail vouchers, with partners from M&S to John Lewis, and Topshop and Amazon, when available.<\/p>\n\n
\nI found a mixed bag of feedback about OpinionWorld. Some are glad to accumulate \u00a370 in a few months time, while others complained about being entered for prize draws, instead of being rewarded with points.<\/p>\n\n
\nHarris Poll Online operates a point-based reward system, which allows its members to earn HiPoints for a vast majority of online survey they commissioned.<\/p>\n\n
\nSwagbucks represent more of a cult than another typical paid survey site for its ardent members.<\/p>\n\n
\nSimply put, this requires some patience to work up your account. The amount of work is irregular here at MindMover, so be prepared to sit idling as you wait for the survey site puts out work.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is another survey site that seems to be in no hurry to push out work. It has been around for a while, but it is also widely known in the industry as a slow burner.<\/p>\n\n
\niPoll is the new name of Surveyhead. The paid survey site focuses primarily on films, travel and gaming. There is a sign-up bonus of \u00a33.50.<\/p>\n\n
\nAmerican Consumer Opinion is a US based public opinion company that enjoys international reputation.<\/p>\n\n
