PopulusLive - high payments for surveys, but will take time to get a payout 

PopulusLive pay great money for their surveys, which are usually interesting and not too time consuming to complete.

They pay £1 per 5 minutes of a survey, so a typical survey will pay £2 or £3, which is definitely one of the highest rates out there.

However, surveys are not all that frequent, they can fill-up quickly and there isn't a special page on the site where available surveys are listed - you have to be invited to complete surveys by email (so make sure you're checking your special survey email address frequently. Not using a dedicated email address? You need to read the 'top tips and do's and don'ts' in this intro post).

Having said that, the emails are very up-front and tell you exactly what the reward will be for completing the survey. The pay is good, but the payout threshold of £50, coupled with the relative infrequency of surveys (maybe one or two a week if you're lucky) means that you won't be cashing-out from PopulusLive in a hurry.

They don't have a referral program.

Very much worth signing up to for the high paying surveys, but don't expect to get a payout quickly.
