I do online surveys and got the following email.

Hm. The startpage of the site just says "under construction" and the
"invite" page is rather sparse as well. Are you sure this thing is
genuine? (Let's not consider bubbly, refined, etc.for now ...) It might
be just a data collection scheme, you know.

This made me curious to know what you mean by saying that you "do"
online surveys. I assume you're often taking part in them. Has your
experience always been good? Do you get massive amounts of spam, by
email and/or post? :-)

Maybe I did the link wrong. That was fron Agent but gmail shows as
this
www.pdhealthsurvey.co.uk

I was pointed to 3 survey companies by a friend. One is ugov and two
are commercial. They pay, usually £1 or 50p or whatever for a 15 or
20 minute survey. I like the ugov ones best because I can say just
how little I like various ministers and that is quite often. Others
are on various topics, commercial or health. I can choose what form I
take payment in; vouchers for Boots or M and S or Amazon. I don't get
spam from them at all. They're interesting and I'd probably be online
anyway. Occasionally some are boring or irritating and you often get
a chance to say so in feedback. Quite a few ask one or two questions
and then say I don't fit the profile or they have enough like me.
