MySurvey

My Survey is a market research organization that has recently established their MySurvey Consumer Panel. This online consumer panel is effectively a group of consumers from all over the world who have the ability to influence future products and services by volunteering to participate in a range of consumer research. According to the MySurvey website, consumer research is discovering what people like you want and need by asking for opinions about products and services through surveys and product testing.

MySurvey places significant value on your opinions, and according to their website, “consumer opinions count in a big way”. They also claim that a number of important products and services have been established through this market research process, including air bags, antilock brakes, cash reward credit cards, and even child-proof safety caps. MySurvey has been in business for a number of years now, and as such they are well positioned to make working with them, either as a research participant or a client, a rewarding experience.

As a participant, you will be eligible for a number of rewards, including the chance to win a range of cash prizes in their regular sweepstakes and earn points that can be exchanged for cash.

Comments Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Michael From: US Comment: MySurvey is definitely the most fun survey site I am a member of, with a wide range of survey topics and fair rewards for each. Most weeks I receive about 3-8 surveys, a lot of which I have qualified for and received great rewards. You can even earn additional entries into their $10,000 sweepstakes draw just for logging in daily. I also like the fact that they pay through PayPal (which is my preferred option), although you can opt to select rewards in the form of prizes or E-Certificates. Cash out stands at 1100 points for PayPal which is equivalent to USD $10. Most would think that this is a high target to reach, though if you are diligent this happens fast. In summary, I enjoy being a MySurvey member, so much so, that I have referred many friends and family to join the panel too. The amount of surveys is good, the rewards offered are fair, and the payment system is quick – all the things I was looking for in a survey company.

The rewards are numerous and easy to obtain. Comes highly recommended.

However, before I get into MySurvey too deeply, I feel it may help to firstly digress into history and make a brief mention of another survey site - Lightspeed Panel. Why? - All will become clear shortly. I joined the Lightspeed Panel in October 2008, so I have much more experience with Lightspeed than with MySurvey. I considered Lightspeed to be a medium earner, they sent many varied and interesting surveys and their crediting system was extremely reliable. Points were awarded immediately for completion of surveys which could be exchanged for gifts or for cash - 345 points provided 3GBP and payments were made promptly within a few days through PayPal and in my experience - never failed. Email invitations to surveys clearly stated the unique survey reference, the reward available and an approximate completion time - everything you need to keep track of and reconcile your points and payments. As with all survey sites, rewards varied considerably between surveys but typical and common examples of survey time=points=reward - (minutes=points=pence), were as follows:- 10mins=80 points =69.5pence , 20mins=110points=95.7pence , 35mins=200points=174pence. Okay, there are surveys sites around where you can earn more cash for your time, but their surveys tend to be few and far between. Lightspeed surveys were plentiful and I nearly always qualified - if I didn't I was awarded entries into the Lightspeed Panel prize draw. During October and early November 2010, I noticed that the rewards offered for Lightspeed surveys were being dramatically reduced for the time taken to complete them, typical examples are:- 15mins=50points=43.5pence , 20mins=70points=60.1pence , 25mins=80points=69.5pence. Compare these ratios with the original survey values 2 paragraphs above. I was puzzled by this, but then on 11 November 2010 all became clear. On 11 November 2010, I received an email advising:- "You are currently a member of the Lightspeed panel and today we have great news for you! ... ...In our ongoing efforts to give you a better service and more exciting surveys with a wider variety of topics, the Lightspeed panel and the MySurvey panel are joining their forces to become MySurvey UK." To me, this was NOT "great news" and I assume that the devaluation of the Lightspeed surveys had been deliberate to bring Lightspeed earnings on a par with MySurvey. With MySurvey UK, points are earned and can be redeemed for an excellent range of gifts and paper vouchers for example, 790 points (used to be 850 points) for a 5GBP Love2Shop/Boots/Currys voucher or cash by PayPal - 345 points = 3GBP. As I mentioned above, I consider MySurvey to be a low earner, whilst offering a very much larger variety of redemption possibilities, their earning power is the same as the devalued Lightspeed level - you can see that for Lightspeed members - joining forces was not "great news". I receive equally as many email invitations for surveys from MySurvey UK (MySurvey + Lightspeed) as I did from Lightspeed only, however, as I was a member of both panels, overall the numbers are considerably fewer – coming from only one source rather than two. The invitations usually provide the necessary details - unique survey reference, the reward available and an approximate completion time - but very often the invitation is incomplete. The best word I can use to describe them is "slapdash" - here is a typical example with my name, survey reference, completion time and reward left blank:- Dear , You are invited to participate in Survey . If you qualify for and complete it, you will earn up to MySurvey Points. It will take you minutes. To take the survey: 1) Go to: http://uk.mysurvey.com/ The website is equally vague. After logging on, my Home page - looking rather like a typical simple survey site, presents me with my current points total and an invitation to complete my "Lifestyle Surveys". Also here is a list of my current available surveys - note: Reference Number only. The list does NOT provide any information about the reward or the expected time for completion. If I click on a survey and proceed to the first page, I am usually informed of the reward (if there is one) and sometimes the expected time for completion. If I decide that I do not have the time at that moment to complete the survey and close the page, the site assumes I have completed the survey and will not allow me to start the survey later. As I have mentioned in another review on this site - before starting a survey I require to know at least 2 things - the time taken to complete the survey and the reward. MySurvey UK would be well advised to include this information in their list of surveys to help members decide which surveys to begin and when. MySurvey UK have recently started a Mobile Survey facility which requires separate registration to provide your mobile 'phone number - I personally am not enthusiastic about surveys by mobile 'phone. I tried a one-off survey a few weeks ago and completing the first three screens was more of an ordeal rather than a pleasure and I ended up abandoning the survey. I don't consider mobile internet to be fast enough or reliable enough for completing surveys. I may have just been unlucky but if anyone out there thinks otherwise.....? Points can also be earned for referring friends, up to five friends for 100 points (58pence). Entries into a quarterly prize draw can also be won to win prizes ranging from GBP25 (x5), GBP75 (x3), GBP500 (x2) and GBP1000 (x1) - the winners’ names are published on the website. The site maintains a complete history of surveys taken with survey references, dates and rewards, so reconciling your own records of points and rewards is easy. Not many problems with their crediting system and their reward payment system seem quite robust too. MySurvey UK offers many survey opportunities to earn rewards both on the internet and your mobile ‘phone, whilst I recommend them as a very good and legitimate survey site, their surveys are low earners so you have to work much harder and for longer than many other survey sites. I hope this review helps you to decide whether or not to join MySurvey UK. Thanks....
