    Anyone using mysurvey?

    I've managed to finally get that 3 hour long survey payout - up to 2750 points :) and i've been trying to redeem a few amazon vouchers. It just refuses to do anything - i keep getting the same error - "Sorry your cart total exceeds your point balance" although it doesnt

    here, see for yourself

    Any ideas on what might be causing that? afaik you need 1000 points to start spending and i'm nearly 3 times that now so yeah, am lost

    I haven't done an IO survey in months - various reasons - but got an offer at 17:13 today, one yesterday and one the day before. So its not completely dead.

    Seasonal factors are huge in surveys; this is a dead time. Coming up to Christmas is incredibly busy, after Christmas dead, and then both before and after Summer quite busy with summer dead.
    Got one from IO yesterday but I had already done it on another site so I stopped the survey and deleted it(told by here dangerous to do surveys multiple times),dont want to be banned again by IO.Got another one today which requires some organisation to download stuff on my PC and give them control of my PC.I refused that one.Otherwise very slow.

    Userneeds is a waste of your time.3000pts is worth probably 1 euro.

    800 points is a euro if you withdraw at a tenner. They get more valuable the longer you hold on to them / higher the withdrawal.

    Wow that’s lower than I thought
    Hardly worth doing that then

    They are definitely among the poorer payers particularly if you take out at a tenner every time. Not as bad as Toluna or some Cint panels.

    Allgifts vouchers - I can't see the redemption rates now but that should easily get about 70 quids worth, maybe 80 - 25,000 is 40 and its a sliding scale.

    I stand corrected.But e 3.75 for an hour's work is still not worth it.

    I got screened out of that userneeds survey but I did get a Toluna hour long one worth 12000 points. Hadn’t heard from MySurvey in a while, logged in today and clicked on available surveys and told I can’t access the page. Does this look like a problem with my account??

    Were you asked for contact details for said 'friend'? I've had lots of friends over the years that I would be willing to name, but nothing else - Mary Doherty or Paddy Murphy, for example. A bit intrusive and hardly relevant to any survey, I'd have thought.

    No. Mid way they come up with some drivel like "it can be easier to describe a product to someone who shares our tastes. Enter the first name of a friend or family member who shares your tastes."

    If I put in a fictitious Gerry it proceeds, put in Pat or Jim and it chucks me out. :confused:

    It happened with me once. Probably when they hit a set number of names you are screened

    That's an odd one all right.

    I'm 25 cents off a voucher for Irish Opinions but no surveys for me for the last week. Is it quiet with surveys around this time of year?

    Aaargh, that would be right up there with using personality traits to describe a product for me! Not to mention how close I feel to a particular brand with a heart on a slider.

    Had no surveys for 2 weeks from IO so sent an email asking why. Took them a week to get back to me saying my account had been deactivated by mistake and it's sorted now.
    That's the second time this year that's happened

    I had nothing for a month and emailed them and it took ages for them to investigate but they said I’m good to go again but no explanation

    It helps that I know 15 Roberts, 20 Patricks, 18 Clodaghs, and 976457623092749218740296496509385 lads called Mikey. They'll never know who I'm on about, and neither will I!
