OnePoll

My favourite online survey site is OnePoll. 

Why? Because the surveys are always quick, easy and are usually quite good fun, and each survey pays in cash so you don't need to do the whole working out the points exchange rate thing to know how much each survey pays.

OnePoll has short surveys that tend to be commissioned by newspapers and online magazines, so they're quite often about topics that are in the news right now.

Each survey only pays a little (typically 10p - 30p) but they are quick to complete and there are usually lots of them.

OnePoll pays out by bank transfer or PayPal when you reach £40.

Be warned that it doesn't send notification emails about new surveys, so you have to actively check if new surveys are available by logging-in to your account. Do this several times a day and you'll hit the payout level in no time.

You can also refer up to 10 friends and family to get extra cash, by adding their email addresses in to your 'Refer a Friend' page (so that isn't a referral link above, unfortunately for me!).
