UK residents aged 13 and over are eligible to join the NPD, however parental consent needs to be sought by those under the age of 16. NPD has an excellent family centered approach and parents will be pleased to find a dedicated child orientated policy which explains clearly how they collect and use information gathered on those under 16 and the site security policy. NPD are clearly keen to make the site as safe and as teen friendly as possible. Typically paid surveys available through NPD last anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes in length, but the site average is approximately 25 minutes. You should expect to receive higher payment for paid surveys which are longer in length or which have more complex issues involved. There is a comprehensive reward based system available through NPD but sadly at the moment this is only available to US citizens. However the good news is that UK residents are able to take part in the lucrative and frequent prize draws that take place on the site, on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis. There are cash prizes up for grabs and members could win $100 (£50), $250 (£125), $500 (£250) and $1000 (£500). All amounts in GBP are approximate and may increase or decrease slightly depending upon the exchange rate at the time. Our personal view is that this is one of the most frequent prize draws available through a paid survey site and all results are published on the site for members to view. Members earn entries by simply completing paid surveys, the more you complete the more entries you earn.

Some of the information that has previously been used in press adverts relates to the cost of student degrees, a house that sold in 60 seconds and the perfect size 12. Of course there is no way of knowing with any certainty which information will be directly relevant but it pays just to take part in the site for the chance to feature in a promotional article and get paid for it!!!

They provide an excellent reward scheme in which members earn points every time they complete a paid survey, which can then be converted into high street vouchers. The shorter “Express Surveys” take between 4 and 5 minutes to complete and offer anywhere between 20 and 50 points per completed paid survey, which compared with other paid survey providers is quite a generous return. My Voice refers to their long paid surveys as “Research Questionnaires“, these are typically around 20 minutes in length and will range from 50-150 points in value, although some are even higher. The payment threshold is about average, with members needing to accumulate 2,000 points to redeem these for a £20.00 high street voucher. This means that every point is worth 1p. My Voice has an extensive range of UK retailers and online stores at which your vouchers can be redeemed including, Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s M&S, Boots, Dixons, Virgin, Next and many more. In addition to direct payment for surveys which you complete you also get entered into the monthly prize draw, each time you complete a survey or opinion poll with a grand prize of £1,000. This means that if you complete five paid surveys you get five separate entries, which is as really good ratio, as some paid survey sites only allow you one entry per month. My Voice has a really good interactive members area and an excellent FAQ section to answer most of your questions. Personally we think that they offer one of the best rewards to time ratio’s for a paid survey site, so don’t be put off by the fact that they don’t yet offer cash as well as vouchers. It's also refreshing to see a paid survey site offering good rewards for shorter surveys, as not everyone has hours to spend filling out research questionnaires.
