Jesus no, that took an age to get to, especially when they changed the points.

Have 3000 left in there and just going to use them on the lottery for whatever that's actually worth.

Sorry Thomas,mistook your post.

Got a €1 partner survey from Red C last night. First and only question was my birth year which I answered honestly.
It screened me out and basically told me I was lying.

Was this a cint survey? The same thing happened to me. I cannot figure out why because I have stated my correct age on all the survey panels i participate in.

I'm thinking of dropping Mobrog too. They used to be excellent but I have failed to get through a single invite in three weeks.

I almost always get screened out of the invitation the send me, even if I click on them immediately. I have better luck clicking on the 'check for more surveys' button, especially if it is early in the morning.



There seems to be a limit to the surveys they allow be to do-two a day at most or very rarely three, then several days where I am not accepted for anything. They deducted 0.36 from my balance today for 'quality control issues'. I have no idea why. I don't speed through surveys or give inaccurate information.

IO recomended to me last year when all the banning of panelists went on for"unattentivness" (I like many was re instated) to not do more than four surveys per day,don't skip through questions quickly etc.

Mobrog can go hot and cold at times, I can get a fiver today and then nothing for a couple of days but the payout to PayPal is handy

Yep. We were probably rejected for some other reason but the code or whatever that was sent back to Red C was incorrect.

I signed up to IO about a month ago and completed my profile. I've yet to get any surveys though. Is this normal?

I was with them years ago but eventually gave up on them because the rewards we're getting so small. Thought I'd give them another try but not a great start so far.

Is anyone here with My Opinion Matters by any chance? Have been with them for years and never ever had any issue until a couple of months ago. Completed a long survey, never got credited and despite sending several emails never heard back. For the past couple of weeks can no longer log into my account and redeem my points. Their website certificates have expired too. Can't get in touch with them at all. They keep sending new surveys though.
Have almost €40 in my account too so absolutely gutted.

i always gave irish opinion surveys my full attention
do nt believe them about above very convenient to dump somebody when they owe them 80 euros
this happened loads of clients about 2 years ago and there were loads of complaints but nobody got re instated
all were owed money

They've gone very quiet for the past week or so. I click on the website every morning, but nothing coming through. They seem to come in waves. Some days there might be four surveys waiting. I suppose its down to the firms who use them.

The site is very buggy I've just noticed. 5 surveys on the dashboard and every one I clicked start survey on just refreshed the page. Managed to get one to start finally but just randomly screened me out a few questions in. First time I've tried to take a survey with then for a couple of weeks so don't know how long it's been like that.

Bmc, at least you got it now, i stopped contacting them dont want to upset them at all, their very touchy and can be banned easily, just bide your time and voucher will reappear on the site, on a side note i hadnt got a redc in a month, taught i got the boot, but got a €3 one off of them today which pushed me over the €50 this month, thats €250 off of them this year.

You don't have to tell me about how to contact IO TAL,I've been through a lot of sh*te with them over the years(like many here) for no reason.I am very "attentive and careful" with my contacts with IO.RED C dire for me the past 2 mths...Nothing at all.Got a payout 2 mths ago but not a survey since.But that's the way it goes I suppose.Will keep checking my e mails though.Things will change.

Nice easy €3 survey from red c this evening about corona/travel/politics that’s a tenner this month, can’t see it carrying on at this pace though sadly

pgj2015

just did a 15 to 20 minute acumen panel survey, did the whole lot then got told i wasnt what they were looking for and they would give me screen out points, they gave me about 10 points at most. the survey was worth 500 points. bad form from them, very surprised at acumen.

I remember last year they didn't send me one for about 5 months, I emailed them about it and they started sending me some.

I think Irish Opinions and Opinion World are the same crowd, so if you've signed up for one than you may not get offered surveys on the other.

I dont get any offers from IO but get about 3 a day from OI.
