A great way to top up your earnings.

I have been a member of Y Live for several years now. It’s a great way to top up your earnings. The surveys can be very interesting and once you reach 50 points they automatically deposit £50 in the bank. Highly recommend.

Good easy extra income for sharing your opinions

Out of all the survey sites, this one has been the best - plenty of surveys, easy to do, and the money gets transferred straight into your bank account once you meet the threshold. The only minor irritation is that they always ask the same generic screening questions (sometimes even starting by asking you to verify the info they already have is correct, then asking those questions get again anyway), which feels a bit unnecessary.

Legit quality service

been using for about 2 years now and so far gained just over £100 in cash. If I spent more time doing every survey they send tat likely could double annually. not bad for maybe an 1 hour of your time a week.

Great way to earn £50

Great way to earn £50 by doing surveys. You earn points for each survey you do and when hit 50 points you get your reward via bank transfer or cheque, which ever way you choose. This is genuine and it's enjoyable doing the surveys.
I've been doing them for a few years now and I've never had any issues.

Great survey site!

Great survey site, pretty easy to make the £50 mark to earn a payout. Never had a problem with them and the surveys are quite varied.

The surveys are sent regularly

The surveys are sent regularly, they are interesting, and you are paid £1 for every 5 minutes that it takes to complete the survey. Your earnings are paid when you accumulate 50 points. The money is paid promptly into your bank account. The Account section is easy to navigate and understand. Overall, an excellent way to make an extra income.

I enjoy doing their surveys

Although there are a few things about their survey pages I find mildly annoying, that is just me being old, no fault of theirs and on the whole I enjoy doing them. The payment for completed surveys comes promptly and is easy to claim, very important.

The Y-live surveys are a great way of earning a little extra money from home (or wherever you are when a survey drops in). Some can be a little repetitive but majority are interesting and can be informative. Generally take a little longer than advertised but I do like to be accurate. Disappointing when you get so far through then get the message to say enough people of your demographic have already responded - would be better if you got this sooner as your details are held. I have been taking part now for many years and payment is always prompt and accurate and I am paid directly into the bank account. Never had any problems and enjoy the surveys.

It’s one of the best survey sites

It’s one of the best survey sites. I don’t understand all these negative reviews only time I had a problem was my fault when they set you a question to see if your paying attention.been with them for a few years and it’s been a good experience. Payment is on time it’s a good idea to keep your information up to date ,like bank details so you get payments on time .one of the top survey sites. My opinion and I do quite a few .

​If you’re looking for a side hustle that actually pays on time, this is it! 💸
​Unlike other sites, the surveys here are actually interesting, and the payments are automatic, so you don’t have to keep checking your balance to redeem. Great communication, fast payouts, and a seamless experience. 10/10 recommend for anyone wanting to earn extra cash for their opinions!

One of the better survey sites

One of the better survey sites. The surveys are always easy to complete and when you have enough points cashing them in is easy and secure. I would thoroughly recommend Y Live.

Best paying survey

The best paying survey by far. They pay promptly when you reach the £50 threshold. The only down side I have found is you answer a series of questions at the start and then find you don't meet the criteria and the survey closes down. The surveys are easy to complete and engaging. Thank you Y Live

Absolutely satisfied

This, I think, is the best. Surveys are well laid out and are easy to navigate. The payout is top marks paid straight to your bank with no prompt or chase up. The surveys I do are very interesting, and they build you into the subject. You also do not get bombarded just one or sometimes two a day, which is adequate for keeping me with something to do while sitting on the sofa after dinner so absolutely no negatives to say

Fairly easy money

Never had any trouble getting paid and get a reasonable number of surveys. Mostly take longer than expected. However better than other survey companies who offer raffle entries for completing.
