If you've ever read a newspaper article that begins with the words "According to a recent survey…", then the chances are, you'll be familiar with the initials TNS as the source of the information you've just digested.

I joined the UK panel last summer, and in retrospect, I probably couldn't have chosen a worse time to do so. The site was about to undergo a major overhaul, and while they continued to send out survey invitations during this period, they were unable to update members' accounts with points earned. Chaos reigned for several weeks, forcing them to ...

Advantages: No survey bombardments here like toluna Disadvantages: None
I have been a survey stasher for 18 months (that probably makes me a newbie) and I have in this time trialled and errored my way through a few of the sites. I think success with survey sites is dependent on the demographic you represent and how quickly you can get to the email link to the surveys.

I recently got myself my own nectar card as i work part time in a sainsburys and am always doing shopping in there, and after signing up online was presented with a list of ways to achieve points.

MyTNS is a survey site and works in asscotiation with necter and a few other companies.After you join this site they send through surveys, these surveys are varied and you often get screened out,however unlike most survey sites you do recieve points if you are screened out this can be anything from 10 to 50 points so it is always worthwhile taking two minutes out of your day to complete their questionnaires, The benefit of this site is that you decide ... ...with places such as necter debenhams or donating to charity such as unicef, my choice was necter points.The site has recently changed and now you have to transfer these points manually ,but it is very simple to do.I earned 650 points and transferred 500 it took only three days to show on my necter statement.I joined this site in the hope that I would be able to collect more points on my necter card. ...

Advantages: Nectar points mount up Disadvantages: Surveys not regular
I joined mytns.com in June 05. I have earnt 3500 points in this time. You can earn from 100 to 1500 points per survey. Sometimes the surveys are very boring and of not a lot of interest but you still get the rewards. So do stick with it. Normally they send 1-3 surveys per month.

Advantages: earn nectar points very quickly Disadvantages: do not get too many invitations to surveys
I registered with Mytns.com in February. It did take a long time for survey invitations to start coming through and it was difficult to log in at first. I contacted the site and was told that this was due to a large number of people signing up. However since May I have received between two and three survey invitations per month paying anything between 100 and 1500 nectar points. 2 nectar points are generally equal to 19 so 100 points would equal ... ...and then paid to Nectar pretty quickly too and the good thing is that you don't have to build up a large amount before you receive your points.

Quick review of MyTNS.com, online survey website
I've not been with myTNS for very long, and although I've now got enough points to claim, I've been unable to. I wish to claim in vouchers, not nectar points, but the site just keeps reloading and won't issue them. Of the three emails I have sent, I have had two automated replies which have been of no help at all, and each taking a week to come back to me.
It seems that those people who claim the card points are very happy, but they shouldn't advertise Amazon vouchers if they won't allow you to claim, and I think they should resolve my complaint rather than me having to settle.
Great for surveys, but terrible in resoving problems. ...

I have been a member of Mytns for roughly about 2 years and i have earned quite a lot in that time.
