    I had one last week. It took me ages to complete because of my head moving!

    Do you have to keep your head steady? I'm assuming they're recording eye movements, if so? Definitely not for me, unless the reward was about €1 per minute, at minimum. It would need to be worth getting dressed :pac:

    I'm not sure it's the same survey but the one I did last week I had to stay really still. When I moved it reset and I had to start again. I was basically staring at a very bland looking supermarket.

    Got one of those last week, said feck that. Its one thing disclosing semi personal info and opinions, but wanting to record/take images is a step too far ...and all for measly euro? Pass!

    I think I was a € away from getting my reward. Don't think I'd be doing it again.

    I think this was the one I was offered. 20 minutes :eek: Not a chance! Glad I screened myself out of that one. If enough of us did that, they would either ditch the webcam or pay more.

    I was tempted twice to do such a survey. Both times it was from MySurvey as once they've offered 100 points +250 extra for agreeing to be recorded and second time 80+250. For 15 min in total. Well in both cases I wasn't credited my points as at the very end of survey, after clicking submit, in both cases a technical error has popped up and I couldn't redo the survey at any point. I've obviously contacted them with screenshots and was told by the person answering me that he can see there was a technical error in that survey but server shows the survey was not completed, therefor I won't be credited and he cannot do anything about that.
    I contacted them again saying I do not allow any of my opinions said in that survey, neither image to be used for any purpose.
    Well I won't take any of this type of surveys again, that's for sure as for this moment I'm concerned it is a pure scam.

    Anybody else have a tonne of surveys coming through today?
    RedC had gone quiet on me the last few weeks, clocked up €15 today and €12 with IO.
    Very exciting evening for myself as you can tell :pac:

    I joined RedC Yesterday and got a €3 and €4 survey!

    Are the links always emailed to you or can you find them in your account/dashboard?

    I've been getting screened out of nearly all IO surveys lately. Checked my account just now and I've only earned 6 euro since Aug 4th. I normally earn this per week..:(

    I've only really started doing them in about the past two/three week and I've earned about €36 guess I got lucky.
    I'm a male in my early twenties. I've being screen out of a few. I don't really know why they send you surveys when they all ready know your not suitable for them.

    Demographics have a huge impact on how much you get offered - they need a representative sample not the first 1000 answers basically. The biggest audience for these surveys is female, 25-44 so posters in that age group will get very few.

    Way more women than men do the surveys so men will usually get more chances.

    The older you are (50+ and higher) the less in your demographic even use the internet (although the % is reducing) so an older male is probably going to qualify for any survey they get.

    I've been doing them since I was very young and have found the number I qualify for reducing as I get in to demographics that have more participants.

    Yeah I normally do really good with them too so I'm very surprised..hope its just a dry spell and start racking up the money again soon. I use the vouchers I get from surveys to get "treats" for me and they have been making a big difference. When I'm getting close to cashing out time I already have it in my head what it's going to be spent on:D

    My aim is to get as many Tesco vouchers as I can and get them all added onto one card in Tesco and give it to my mother towards the main Christmas shop!

    Last one I had was 16/8 - not a lot this year really, as I've only just managed to make one €10 voucher since March.
