User reviews

I feel that the reason people feel that site does not work is simply because they are not aware that there is also a YouGov.com website that is connected to the extension. Other than that I think if they new this they would feel the same as I do, I love this site! It does exactly what they say they will do you can take surveys that are not lengthy like other survey sites, YouGov keeps theirs short and simple and you earn points for taking them, as well as you earn points for you data when connecting it as an extension, and n return you can exchange those points for gift cards and they have a lot of gift cards to chose from. IT IS DEFFINATELY NOT A WASTE OF TIME, IT IS THE BEST SURVEY SITE I FOUND YET!
