EducationReview of Mysurvey.com: My Favourite Paid Survey Website
Mysurvey.com is an international market research company that pays members for participating in their market research. It is part of Lightspeed Research, both owned by WPP, one of the world’s leading communications services groups. As every MySurvey experience is different in each country the review I’m writing is about MySurvey panel in the UK.
Sign up:
Membership of MySurvey UK panel is open only to residents of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) who are 16 years of age or over. For people from these areas the website address is http://uk.mysurvey.com. For people beyond the UK the web link is http://mysurvey.com.
Signing up for an account is very easy and free. You can sign up by visiting http://uk.mysurvey.com and clicking the green banner “home” to join. You need to provide an email address, a password and your name and home address. Once registered, you will automatically receive an activation email with a link to confirm your membership. Then you need complete a few short surveys on your profile to qualify for more opportunities.
The membership is limited to two members per household. By the way there are a few cash back websites that provide MySurvey sign up link and you can get some rewards for using that.
The Surveys:
Similar to most survey websites you can only participate in their surveys after your get a survey invitation from MySurvey via your email account. In general the survey reward is always stated in the survey invitation and you need to answer a few pre-screen questions to see if you are qualified to complete the survey or not.
The surveys are about different topics and subject matters. You get MySurvey Points for completing most surveys or are given a couple of entries to its quarterly £2,000 prize draw. Depending on the survey length the rewards start from 50 MySurvey Points to 110 MySurvey Points or even more. For the surveys you are not qualified you will get 5 or 10 MySurvey Points.
The Referral:
MySurvey encourages you to refer your friends and family to the MySurvey community. Currently you can refer up to 5 friends and get 100 MySurvey Points per your referral.
The Payment:
On MySurvey Panel you can redeem your MySurvey points for cash, which is paid to your PayPal account. You have to have at least 345 MySurvey points and that's equal to £3. Usually the payment would take one week to complete. You can also get high stree and online gift certificates, such as Sainsbury’s, Amazon and HMV e-vouchers, just to name a few. In this case you need at least 550 MySurvey points to get a £5 voucher and it may take 2-6 weeks to complete. You can also donate your MySurvey points to some charities, such as UNICEF, NSPCC and RSPCA, etc.
Personal experience:
I have joined over 20 paid survey websites since 2009 and MySurvey Panel is my favourite one. First, the layout of MySurvey Panel is user friendly and simplely designed. It's very easy to follow. You can find all the information you need under 6 items: Home, My Survey, My Rewards, My Friends, My Profile and Help.
Second, the survey rewards are appropriate for the time I have spent. Normally it takes about 10 minutes to complete and the reward is between 80-250 points. After I've completed each survey, the reward has always instantly appeared in my account. A small incentive is made for pre-screeners, so I never come away empty-handed for any survey.
Third, MySurvey has many surveys to participate. I receive invitations regularly and rarely fail to qualify.
Fourth, MySurvey has many options to redeem my earnings and the payment threshold is reasonably set. Usually every week I can redeem a few pounds to my paypal account and receive them in less than 2 weeks.
All in all, from my personal experience I would like to say Mysurvey.com is a good option to make extra money online and I highly recommend it.
