Online Paid Surveys

I have been taking paid online surveys for well over 5 years now and although it has made me some pocket money, it has certainly not made me a millionaire!
I have decided to write a review of one of the survey sites that I am a member of. So here is the review for MySurvey. Please not that I am based in the UK so the experience of international versions of the My Survey website may be different.
My Survey
Annual Earnings: £62.45
Rewards: Various Vouchers, Nectar points, Paypal, Charity Donations
Min Cashout: £10 for paypal.
The very first company I started doing these surveys with was called Lightspeed, which I started about 6 years ago now. Last year Lightspeed was taken over by My Survey, who I was not a member of so I seem to have inherited them in a way.
Since the take over, there seem to be even more surveys but there have been a few problems - there seem to be far more technical issues where surveys now do not work which is a bit of a pain. The payments are pretty average - they are certainly less than my top two earners, and many other sites but they are not the worst.
Their surveys tend to be fairly long and you will be lucky to get more than £1 for your time. There is a great deal of choice when it comes to how you want to cash out but it should be noted that the number of points for a £10 voucher are not equal - you will need 1466 points to get a £10 Comet, Burton or Sainsbury voucher, but only 1150 to cash out to paypal and Amazon/HMV vouchers are even better value at 1100 points.
The surveys themselves are very frequent and you should get about 10 per week, about half of which I get screened out of, which is quite a lot but you get a small number points each time this happens which is nice. The surveys range from transport and tourism to razors or music and everything in between, but like I have said some can be a bit of a boring trudge. Occasionally they will also send you products such as chocolate to test. I believe My Survey are currently invite only.
Overall, My Survey are not quite as good as Lightspeed was, the surveys can be boring and the payment is not great but the sheer frequency of surveys, the amount of options in cashing out (including my favourite paypal) and the relatively low cash out value makes My Survey a site I would recommend joining.
