    Join my online survey and get paid! Murky world or possible earner?

    I just want your personal details and all your shopping habits. Your date of birth and address also.

    But can you actually make money out of me (as a line of part time work) and/or will I use the information to rip you off?

    Last time somebody asked me to fill out one of those lifestyle questionnaires I asked her how much I would get paid.
    She looked blankly at me.
    "Your bosses are going to sell this information dozens of times over to dozens of different companies who will then target me as a potential consumer of their products. That's worth a lot of money - how much do I get?"
    "There's a prize draw..." she offered, quite gamely I thought!

    Ceroc London will give you 7 free nights in a row dancin, via email, in exchange for your email address.

    You must profer it by email though, not on the initial membership form.

    I signed up with YouGov a couple of years ago and got a fifty quid cheque 6 weeks ago, so it works OK sometimes.
