    Yes, but that's usually the lot except maybe a once a year special survey. I don't know how they keep afloat.

    30-40 a year from them is okay for little effort

    Lowest paying survey company that I use. None of them are particularly taxing.

    Got it but I declined. Surveys, for me, are done at my leisure watching TV or having a coffee. I'm not spending half an hour on the phone doing one.

    Check your inbox to see if you got the below mail from RedC, sounds like a nice earner:

    "We are very interested in hearing your opinions in relation to motor insurance through a one on one online interview. This interview will take place over Zoom, will be scheduled for a suitable time in the next 2 - 3 weeks and will last approx. 45 minutes.
    Those who are selected for and complete the one on one interview will receive an incentive of €60 in the form of a virtual Mastercard."

    Unfortunately one of the screeners was if you have had a claim in the last 6 months, which I did not and was then screened out. So only go with it if you have had a claim in less than 6 months if you get me.

    Got the email just now, but I don't drive (husband does). Can safely assume I'll be screened out for that!

    Are you encouraging memory lapses for monetary gain?

    If it's only for people who've had an insurance claim in the last 6 months, I can't imagine keeping up a lie, even if it was a typed response. I've never made a claim, so I would flounder badly with any response, especially throughout a 45 minute recorded interview :eek:

    In any event, I'm really not willing to take part in a zoom call for any amount of money. It's a privacy/security thing and with something as dicey as an insurance claim, with myriad legal ramifications and risks, I can't see anyone prepared to put themselves and their potential claim on the line for €60.

    I deleted the email ...

    Certainly not, just outlining the terms of said survey. It would be wrong for a person who has had a claim 7 months ago to qualify for this, so just making sure that they know so.

    Yeah, for an insurance claim it's a fair enough point if it specifically looks at people who are in the process of making a claim. That being said however, don't be put off on Zoom surveys, I have done a lot of them in the last year and they pay well, the most recent was $100 for feedback on Microsoft products.

    Just a heads up on Irish opinions, the Tesco e vouchers they are sending has changed again and they are using the challenge key but the only thing is the email is missing the challenge key, I’ve spoken to them about it and they said they are working on it and will let me know when it’s resolved

    Congratulations And happy spending
    I have two vouchers with no challenge key and they said it’s a major issue with thousands issued in error
    The previous e vouchers they used didn’t need challenge keys it was just click on link and scan

    I've had no issue with the Irish Opinions Tesco vouchers at all. Just print them off and they work. I joined on May 18th I'm up to €53.50 now. I cash in every €10.

    I hadn't received a survey off Irish Opinions in about a year, so I cancelled my account and reregistered. Since I did last Wednesday I've gotten €9.25.

    I trialled signing up for every survey company I could online. I said I'd do a week going for every survey from €0.50 upwards. The end result was €50.09. Better than a kick in the arse. Pays a bill or two. I notice they never give you surveys on Sundays.
