    No, but mustn't there be some GDPR thing involved there?

    Or is it just some kind of fictional/imaginary friend for survey purposes? As I say I've never had it so just wondering.

    Gdpr gets thrown around a lot on boards
    You agree to share info as part of the survey and it’s just a random name they want as far as I can remember

    Oh, a first name only nonsense.

    I used a universal name that would be commonplace in the states or the U.K. and it usually works

    I'm tempted to contact RedC to let them know that I will never complete a survey that requires the use of a webcam, so they can stop emailing me about them. If the survey requires me to be seen and heard, I'm out.

    Does anyone here do these surveys?

    Anybody ever get the telecoms surveys that ask you to name a friend you'd talk to about the topic, only to get thrown out when you enter a name, every time?

    Yes.Put my wife's name in a couple of times(Nuala) got dumped.Them put my brother Francis in after that and got through a couple since.That's true.

    I too refuse to use a webcam, but a few times I said No when prompted and the survey continued without webcam.

    How long do iReach take to issue vouchers generally? Redeemed my points a month ago, thought they’d have been fairly quick

    I get screened out of about half of mobrog surveys and the incentive is only ok, but they do offer paypal and you can cash out at €5. Acumen offer brilliant pay for minimal effort just wish they sent out surveys more often :(

    I'm not qualifying for many surveys on Mobrog these days, but when I complete one, I try to keep a record of the survey number (if I'm taking it from the dashboard), the date, and the promised reward. So far, I haven't noticed any missing, but the incentive is often more or less than what was described in the link or invitation. And there is a delay in crediting. I hope it isn't about to fall apart like other sites as well.

    Overall, Mobrog seems to pay better. That being said, they changed the site around a bit months ago and introduced an alternative router to find surveys for ~40 cent. Since then, I have had fewer and fewer successful survey completions.

    It takes me about a year to get enough to redeem on Acumen, but I got a survey worth 5.50 last week which put me over the limit for the second time in 2019!

    Anyone else stuck on Q15 of an Acumen survey about Ice cream? I've answered the 14 part question about 20 times and it keeps on asking the same things over and over. I can't get it to move forward to Q16 - and it's a €5.50 reward, which makes it even worse.
    I've emailed and sent a screenshot for what it's worth ...
