i got the same email today, i never entered false information either, must have been with them around 6 years id say, its a lesson not to build up your credit on these sites, i only had 2 euro on my irish opinions account so, not too bothered about it all, they had boring enough surveys anyway, i find ireach have the most interesting surveys.

Got the same one aswel today. Total nonsense.

Does anyone here have any experience with My Opinion Matters? Just wondering how long does it take for the rewards to arrive and are they physical gift cards or e gift cards? Also they don't seem to reply to queries at all, so I'm just wondering how others get on with them.

since I hit the 50 points on redc 15 days ago just got one survey since and got the boot from it .... io still getting 2 day but find the gift cards are are very slow coming compared to a few months ago

Red c is painfully slow at giving me surveys
Irish opinions so far is the best and the cards arrive in about a week, I’m getting tesco ones it won’t allow me to get penny’s ones for some reason

Got screwed by IO too.36.50 down the swanee.Been with them over 5yrs no problem.Suddently got dumped for "non attentiveness".A dic"head called Kai said I had "inconsistences" in my replies and was being shut down.Rubbish as I answered all surveys truthfully.Sent many e mails stating my case but got no reply.Checked on line and many people in same boat.Not good reviews for IO overall.

Waiting nearly 3 weeks for the issue with my IO account to be sorted. Still nothing. Anyone else have this issue?

You're on the hit list with IO.Be ready for an E mail quoting "inconsistinces/non attention in your replies.many of us IO members have had a similar experience of late.And funds accrued are gone.Just be ready for it.:

It seems I may be part of your group too! I was waiting till i had 50 euro as there was something particular I wanted to buy. But for the past week I'm getting Error code QSB0303-17. Have e mailed 3 times but only getting the auto respose on reward redemption. No invites or surveys on dashboard but all was well till just over a week ago. I went through this around Xmas or start of New year I think and my response was they were conducting routine security reviews and my account was eventually reinstated. Hopefully the same happens this time but it's still annoying as I really wanted to use them this week:(

I'd been quite patient in my reporting of it but just sent a more explanation requested email just now...guess we'll find out soon!

anyone having problems logging in to my survey?

Mountjoy Mugger

I have been for well over a month;no surveys were available - a "no entry" sign was present when I logged on. I gave up on it when they emailed me back and said there was nothing wrong and I should just log in from one PC.

Just tried now and password invalid.

Had a few e-mails from RedC the last couple of days, decent money on them. Unable to do any of them though

They pay better money for the use of your time I find but surveys are very rare

Just tried signing in to MySurvey yesterday evening for the first time in a month or two and got the very same message. Changed nothing either.

Hi - I got the same email last night at 10pm. I've been a member for almost 10 years. I don't think you could open up another account from a different email address, because, if you were getting the vouchers by post, they would still have your postal address on file. And feck it, I aint paying to open up a PO box!! There is always the electronic vouchers, but I tried them a few years ago and they were a disaster. Unless they improved them - does anyone know anything about them please?

The second thing I wanted to approach is this ; so many people here have been dumped unfairly by IO, after years. Is there really so little we can do about this? I for one am going to request and demand any info this company has on me from the Data Commissioner. I also notice that IO is a UK based company - I am also going to speak to UK Consumer affairs and their Data Protection organisation about this. Surely if these companies are making these allegations, about, in essence, our honesty - then they have to be able to back up these accusations? Maybe if several of us also emailed say, Joe Duffy and complained?? I just think we need to make a bit more of a fuss, or they will just walk over us.

I do wonder if a lot to do with me being dumped is my age - I turned 45 a few months ago - and at the time, I did wonder if I would get a lot less surveys, having moved into a different age bracket. Has anyone else any experience of that? Good luck to IO finding panellists that will be as honest and attentive as I have been when answering surveys is all I can say - serves them right if the teenyboppers and 20 somethings they so obviously want so badly just tick any old box on the surveys and give rubbish answers - would serve IO right!! Quite honestly I've gone too old to bother my head lying on a survey and trying to remember a lie for the sake of a 30min survey that pays maybe 50c!!

At least, thank God, I always cashed out when I hit the 10 euro mark, so I'm not too much out of pocket- 4 euros is my current balance on there.

You won't be got rid of over age; you may become less of interest to the survey companies - however, fewer older people do the surveys in the first place and they do have quotas to fill. Female 25-44 would be the quickest to fill; male over 60 probably the slowest.


The #1 reason for getting kicked off sites is doing the same survey on multiple providers (and being accurate enough that they can be certain it is the same person). The person paying for the survey will refuse to pay for the second submission, site you did it from gets rid of you. Huge risk in using the bargain bucket sites is you end up doing a survey for 50c, then do it again for a fiver on a better site and find you're now banned from the better one.

blue you make a good point

very annoyed with their false accusations

Age is not a factor; I'm in my 70s and get plenty.

More likely to be from doing surveys on multiple sites.

That age thing you mentioned is strange indeed.I have just turned 60 and been dumped after 5/6 years and like you never lied on a survey.I lost €36 which I was trying to get to €40.They have a bloody cheek saying "my inconsisencies and lack of attentioness"was their reason for suspending my account.I e mailed a few times about my €36 but got no answer.I hope you go after these robbing chancers.
