As others have said, this is the best and fairest survey company. It is slightly annoying answering a bunch of questions at first and then being declined. However, they do sometimes have parameters se... See more

Interesting surveys to complete for a cash payment

I have been a member of the Y Live community for some time now and would recommend it to any one wanting to be involved. They offer a range of interesting and topical surveys for a cash payment which accrues to a £50 payment over time should you complete enough of them.

Great survey site

Definitely one of the better survey sites. Rewards are paid promptly and, if you are screened out, it happens at the beginning, not towards the end.

A great way to earn some extra pennies…

A great way to earn some extra pennies on a fairly regular basis. I've been with Y Live for a number of years and it is one of the best survey companies in terms of rewards for time taken, and they pay you reliably too.

Lots of interesting reviews

Lots of interesting reviews. Sometimes it takes quite a time to answer all the initial questions before being informed the survey is not available to you. It always takes longer than suggested to complete the review. Payment process works very well.

The best survey company …

Have now been a person who has used this for many years . I have never had any problems with YLIVE always paid for surveys taken and one of the best survey companies which I will always give my opinion. Keep going hope they do not get to an age range as I enjoy

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 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.

I have been using Y Live for a while now, and I have to say it’s one of the best survey panels out there, The platform is very user-friendly, making it easy to participate in surveys and share my opinions. The rewards are fair and delivered promptly, which makes it feel worthwhile. I also appreciate the variety of surveys available and how often new opportunities come up. Customer support is responsive and helpful whenever I have had a question. Overall, Y Live is a reliable and enjoyable way to earn rewards for sharing your opinions I highly recommend it to anyone looking to join a survey panel.
