GreasyPalm

GreasyPalm is a cashback website. That is, when you take offers or purchase items through their website they give you cashback. They can do this as they earn commission from the offers and purchases you make, they pass some of their commission back onto you.

There are a huge amount of free offers, no spend cashbacks and normal purchasing cashbacks. I earned my payment mostly from a free trial of dvd rental and switching energy supplier. I received cash of £48.25 paid directly into my bank account.

Payment runs are made monthly, and they don't pay out until 30 days after your balance passes the £25 mark. However, rest assured, I can tell you from experience that they certainly do pay out.

Currently offers include £70 cashback for a dual fuel switch to Scottish Power, £40 for taking out insurance with MoreThan. They also have a system for paying cashback on High Street spending , however, I have not used this and don't know how it works.

This site I do have a referal link for. If you use this link and earn yourself £15 or more then I will earn a bonus £7. My referal link is http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=724976

If, for some reason, you don't wish to use my referal link you can visit direct at http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/

Lightspeed Panel

My second survey website to write about is the Lightspeed Panel.

This is my other favourite survey website, and I have already claimed 2 x £5 Amazon vouchers, therefore I can vouch for them and honestly say they are genuine.

Rewards per survey are in the form of points. And range mostly from 80 to 110 points per survey.

Roughly 110 points is worth about £1 depending on what rewards you decide to take. There is a HUGE selection of rewards to choose from ranging from my favourite, Amazon vouchers, to Cash via PayPal, Charity Donations, Computer Accessories, Magazine Subscriptions....the list goes on. Their rewards shop is managed by a third party website that seems to specialize in this kind of service.

Each time I have ordered my Amazon vouchers they arrived in my inbox with about 5 minutes!

As well as the main surveys that you complete for points there are also Quick Match and Mini-Poll surveys that can earn you entries into the monthly £2000 prize draw and increase your chances of being invited to more full surveys in future.

This is another site that doesn't have an affiliate program, I am just writing about them because it's genuine and I have received real rewards from them in the form of Amazon vouchers.

Signing up for this website is not as easy as others, their main site does not have links to sign up, you have to find an invitation. However, I just searched for 'join uk lightspeed panel' on google and the first result was http://uk.lightspeedpanel.com/register/join.html?custom=SDMGB31070 . This seems to work ok at the moment, but if it doesn't work for you then just search google like I did.

Valued Opinions

The first Survey website I'm going to talk about is Valued Opinions.

Valued Opinions are one of my two favourite and most reliable survey websites. I joined them only a little over a month ago now and I have £7.25 in cleared rewards and a further £15 pending.

Most surveys seem to pay £1 or £1.50, however, I have completed one for £5. The £5 survey (if I remember correctly) also involved having a packet of biscuits sent to my house to try and comment on! Delicious! :)

I've not yet reached the £10 threshold (of cleared funds) to be able to claim a reward, but I can see that you have many choices of how to redeem your earnings. They provide Tesco, Amazon, John Lewis, Ocado vouchers and more. Or you can even support a charity with your earnings!

Personally, I'll be going for the Amazon vouchers as many survey sites also provide Amazon vouchers and I think if I take Amazon from them all then I should soon be able to buy something really nice.....And Amazon seem to sell almost everything these days! I have my eye on a USB 8-track mixer so I can start setting up a small home music-room/studio. (I am learning guitar and my partner plays keyboard, penny whistle and sings, her brother plays bass, etc)

I am a member of many survey websites, and some of them it's hard to get past the initial screening questions (to see if you qualify for the survey's target group). Valued Opinions is the site I get accepted and complete the most surveys on.

The site has no referral or bonus scheme, the only way to earn is from completing surveys. Therefore, there is no incentive for me to write positively about them, I just am because it is a genuine and useful website that rewards it's users fairly :)
