About This Site
So What is Get Pounds All About?
Get Pounds is your authoritative guide to UK online money-making opportunities.
There are a number of websites which promise to pay their visitors from the United Kingdom for taking online surveys. Other sites promise to pay their UK members for making purchases online from their favourite stores. Get Pounds is your guide through the minefield of such online opportunities – providing honest and impartial advice on which programs to join and which to give a miss.
So What is The Role of Get Pounds?
Get Pounds exists to provide impartial information, reviews and advice about money-making sites. We will keep you up to date with the latest news about UK reward programs, and will cast a critical eye over changes which sites make. We will tell you whether a site really pays or not, and how to maximise your earning opportunities. Most importantly, Get Pounds exists for you, and is operated independently in order to give the best advice possible.
What Types of Money-Making Opportunities Does Get Pounds List?
All the money-making opportunities listed at this site have one thing in common: all require no financial outlay. Just your time and a little effort is all you will need to earn real money from the programs listed here, which include:
- “Cashback” sites, which pay you for shopping online at your favourite high street and online stores. The amount you receive from these sites is usually a percentage of your spend, though is sometimes a fixed amount.
e.g. You join Cashback “Site A”, who promises you to give you 10% of any money you spend at the Argos website. You visit Site A, click their special link to the Argos website and buy a new watch for £59. Soon after, Site A pays you £5.90.
- “Paid Survey” sites, which pay you for taking online surveys about a variety of different topics. These surveys can be quite lucrative, and are often produced by the top media companies in the UK, for example YouGov. The amount you will earn for a survey is usually specified before you start answering the questions set.
e.g. You join Paid Survey “Site B”. Four days after joining, you receive an e-mail in your inbox inviting you to participate in a survey about your favourite brands of soft drink. The e-mail tells you that the survey should take ten minutes to complete, and that on completion you will earn £2 for your time. You complete the survey and the money shows up in your account shortly afterwards, from which you can redeem the money into your bank account, or for high street store vouchers.
- “Competition” sites, which give you the opportunity to enter prize draws and contests in order to win prizes. While the earnings from these sites are rarely guaranteed, because of the element of chance involved, many people actually earn more from these programs than any other, because the rewards are far greater.
e.g. You join Competition “Site C”. You enter your e-mail address and answer a few trivia questions in order to enter a prize draw to win £2000. One month later you receive a telephone call informing you that you have won the grand prize and that the money will be credited to your bank account that week.
Is Get Pounds Completely Impartial and Independent?
Yes, absolutely. Get Pounds is operated independently of any reward, cashback or paid survey program and remains impartial in its entirety. The integrity of this site is an issue of great pride, and so we do the best we can to report the good and bad elements of every program we feature. This site does use affiliate links when linking to other sites, in order to earn enough money to sustain the site’s development. But our independence and impartialiy will never be compromised by this.
