We know your time is a precious commodity so we want to reward your commitment and efforts with lots of goodies!
By completing each main survey, you automatically gain the opportunity to win our main cash prize of £1,000 (one each survey). In addition, we also give away hundreds of individual £20 HMV vouchers each month in our random prize draws, which winners can exchange for CDs or DVDs of their choice.

‘The cheque was really appreciated. It is my tenth wedding anniversary next year so we are looking forward to spending it on a holiday to celebrate.!’
‘I received the cheque yesterday. I got your voicemail earlier today but I am unable to call back at the moment as I have a rotten cold and I'm on the verge of losing my voice! After a few treats for Christmas, I will be looking to use the money towards some improvements around the home. My fiancé is disabled and we have wanted to make drastic changes to the bathroom to make things easier for him. Until now, we have been unable to really consider the work needed due to the cost involved. Thank you so much ’
‘When my mobile rang and a lady told me I had won £1000 in the prize draw I assumed someone was winding me up! I was always slightly cynical about the prizes for this type of thing and assumed that the winners of
the big prizes were just made up - "Mr Smith of London"? Pull the other one! I took part thinking the odds of winning a voucher were reasonable enough to do it. Thanks to the My Urban Life Team for having the superlative good luck to draw my name. Feel free to repeat the process next year!’
