I can’t work irish opinions out, I’ve even had emails when I’ve seen a grey box a few minutes before and the email leads to nothing
I’ve given up contacting them as it seems to go back to normal afte a couple of days

IO has gone very quiet for me recently. €11 in 30 days is way below par.

Yeah, IO have been slow for me too.

I tried to redeem 800 points for an Amazon voucher on OpinionWorld today and I received the following message...

"Your membership has been terminated as a result of the violation of the OpinionWorld Terms & Conditions. For questions, please, contact helpdesk@opinionworld.co.uk"

This happened before but they reactivated my account eventually.

Like you,I'm passed the point of caring about IO now.And I forgot to mention,I even ordered a €10 voucher about a week ago from IO no problem.Now the Grey Box is back.

Exact same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back. Just waiting on them now to "investigate the matter"

They confirmed to me that the grey box means no surveys currently available. I suggested they changed the wording on it and advise panel members but no reply to that.

They told me 3 times now that it was a technical glitch

This seems to happen if you do the same survey on two different sites as one of the Mods explained earlier. If you do a survey on one site DO NOT do the same survey on another site as this only leads to trouble.Just stop and delete that survey.Many of these survey sites are linked and if they find the same person doing the same survey on several sites you will have your account suspended.Just do a survey on one site only,not on several.Big Brother will find you.

I have been a member of Irish Opinions for about 2 years now. I have made about €400 and my partner has made about €100. I redeemed the full amount in Tesco and Amazon vouchers.
However over the last 4 or 5 months I haven't gotten any new surveys to fill out. It seems like something happened and they are gone. I wouldn't be surprised if it is some sort of GDPR issue.

They are not gone, I’ve dine four surveys today and cashed out for a Tesco voucher
Drop them an email to see what’s happening with your account, it may have been suspended or maybe you didn’t agree to the email that came out asking of you would allow them to contact you

All quiet from RedC and then at lunch I spotted two in my inbox. Got to do one, but didn't qualify for the other. Slowly creeping towards the €50 mark again.

I got 3 on Monday. 5, 3 and a 2 euros. Didn't qualify for any of them....:(

I'm at 41 euro with RedC and thought I might get the 50 this month. But I normally get about 3 surveys per month and so far completed 1 and screened out of a nice juicy 5 euro one so don't think it will be happening:(

You're not alone.Got a 2E one and was screened out of that 5E one too.Only at 24E so end of next month at least to reach the magical 50E.

Are Irish opinions and opinion world connected to each other. Got an invite from opinionworld but it turned out to be researchnow ( same as Irish Opinions) so I closed out of it in case it was one I'd already done.

You did the right thing.As L1011 said if you do the same survey a couple of times on different sites you could be banned from some sites (especially IO,who are very touchy of late).Do a survey and if you get the same survey from a different site DO NOT DO IT A SECOND TIME.Don't be greedy as you will end up banned form some site.

L1011

If IO can't complete a survey with their own panel they will put it out on other panels. Most of them do this, you will get RedC ones via IO also - at a much reduced payout!

Postgrad10

I wouldn't mind getting redc ones from another site because I haven't had one since the start of the year !

It looked like a survey I hadn't done before but it had researchnow in the address bar so I let it go in case it became an issue. Not on many sites.

This happens quite a lot to me, the most frequent one being red c for say 75 cent or a euro on opinion world or irish opinions
If you haven’t don’t the survey before then crack on, I think the companies trade off or sell surveys

Been on Red C for years and never got a survey for less than €1.If you get a survey from say IO and a RED C survey pops up for 75c,delete it.You might get that same one from RED C for €1 or 2 later.

Red c don’t do surveys for 75 cent that’s why they farm them out to other companies and they are normally quick 3-4 minute ones so I will happily do them.
Got my first cheque from red c and also the offer of a €50 phone survey, not so sure about the phone survey tbh

Signed up to Red C recently. Are the actual surveys slow to load options for the questions or is it just me ?
