Ylive surveys

I really enjoy completing YLive surveys as they have interesting content. They make you think and not just ticky boxes which makes it more appealing to me. I like that you get paid as soon as you reach the £50 and payment goes straight into my account, no fuss no hassle.

I have been with Y live community for…

I have been with Y live community for several years now.
I have completed dozens of surveys for them during that period, and earned quite a few monetary rewards in the process.
The rewards are quite generous, especially compared to other sites.
Rewards quickly build up if you are genuine and complete them honestly and with your own genuine thoughts and opinions.
I particularly like it because payout kicks in after £50 has been earned, so it is actually worth having rather than a few pounds or vouchers here and there.
Payout for me is by BACs and is payable monthly is the target has been reached.
Customer services are excellent, very responsive and giving good advice
5 star rating from me.

One of the few that acutally pays out

One of the few that acutally pays out. The £50 threshold sounds high, but once your engaged with the surveys it just works as it is supposed to. Some are interesting and some you don't qualify for. They could use the demographic data a bit more throughly but not the end of the word.

A great way to top up your earnings.

I have been a member of Y Live for several years now. It’s a great way to top up your earnings. The surveys can be very interesting and once you reach 50 points they automatically deposit £50 in the bank. Highly recommend.

One of the better reward sites

One of the better reward sites, especially for people interested in social policy and politics. It pays out promptly and has interesting surveys available by email invitation to those who reply promptly.

Good easy extra income for sharing your opinions

Out of all the survey sites, this one has been the best - plenty of surveys, easy to do, and the money gets transferred straight into your bank account once you meet the threshold. The only minor irritation is that they always ask the same generic screening questions (sometimes even starting by asking you to verify the info they already have is correct, then asking those questions get again anyway), which feels a bit unnecessary.

Legit quality service

been using for about 2 years now and so far gained just over £100 in cash. If I spent more time doing every survey they send tat likely could double annually. not bad for maybe an 1 hour of your time a week.

Great way to earn £50

Great way to earn £50 by doing surveys. You earn points for each survey you do and when hit 50 points you get your reward via bank transfer or cheque, which ever way you choose. This is genuine and it's enjoyable doing the surveys.
I've been doing them for a few years now and I've never had any issues.
