This has probably come up before, but for those who don't know, there is money to be made in doing surveys online.

Some of the better ones are:

Valued Opinions
You Gov
Lightspeed

There are others, but the rewards aren't as good. For all the sceptics out there, I can assure you it IS worth registering and doing these. Mr Rainbow and I have made about £30 M&S vouchers between us in the past few months - not much but we are putting them in a tin to one side to use for Christmas.

I do absolutely loads of these - including the ones you do and I do make money and other vouchers as well. I also get to try products as well - really good when you get boat loads of washing powder or liquid, or dishwasher products to try,

A couple of the sites enable me to use vouchers as Christmas presents.

I have Tesco Vouchers with Valued Opinions - save them up till Christmas and together with the remainder of my Clubcard vouchers, it pays for the booze.

I'm also down as a Mystery Customer, which pays as well.

Some of the ones I do (such as scanning weekly shopping) is by invitation only, but also pays well in vouchers or points which I can save up to get goods with.

Not bothered about the cash (although Lightspeed I do have paid across to my Paypal account), I enjoy using the vouchers to give as pressies at Christmas. It means my Christmas is really frugal!

I haven't had a survey from Valued Opinions for months even though my details are up to date. It's annoying as I've got £9.50 in the account!

I had a cheque from Yougov for £50 a few months ago which was very nice.

I'm also registered on Quidco which is a cashback website. Every time I do something online I check whether the company is on there. We recently joined the National Trust and we'll get £18 cashback, and I changed my car insurance to the Co-op who are currently offering £75 cashback.

I love doing all the surveys - I have sent links to a lot of them to other posters in previous months. I hope they've managed to get some earnings from them.

I'm not far off my first cheque from Yougov now. Looking forward to it!

I love having stuff paid into my Paypal account as well as it funds my Ebay purchases!

I've just checked my account and the last Valued Opinions survey I had was March! I've emailed to ask if there's a problem with my account so I'll have to see what they say.

I've had a few through - don't always qualify for them but they do come through. I've got a couple in my inbox at the moment.

I would definetely email them.

Jan, if you would be so kind as to share some of the other sites then that would be great - I am with quite a few, but I am sure there are ones out there I haven't found yet!

I would also chase up Valued Opinions,Skippy I get a good few invitations a week from them - sounds like something might be up with your account.

I have heard of Quidco..off to check it out!

Dave's just done the lottery one as well.

I've got nearly £100 on the way from Quidco as well, mainly thanks to you telling me about the Co-op Paul!

You had to be invited to do it, and needless to say I wasn't!

I'll post a few on here tomorrow - have to go through my bookmarks and sort them out.
