Anybody else tired of the infantile profile question on Cint asking what superpower you'd like to have? It's driving me bonkers.

I always wrote a fairly complex answer to those, at least a hundred words, and I screened out every time. Then I started getting a message about being over the character limit, so I decided to answer in one line. That set something off and I got 10 points taken off my quality score, even though my answer still made perfect sense.

The next few surveys I did through that provider started with having to watch a video on market research and online surveys, and I had to answer questions on it. The gist of it was that we shouldn't enter gibberish in text answer fields...

What annoys me even more are the surveys where I get through 4 or 5 questions about my education and line of work, etc, then it becomes apparent that the survey is only for C-suite executives and there's no option to screen out. It's a waste of time and I don't even get my bonus point for effort (where available).

I went through super strength, invisibility, flying like Superman and got screened out every time. For some reason they accepted time travel, even though I don't think that is technically a superpower.

The other one that drives me nuts is being constantly asked to describe my daily routine. I found with this one that writing less seems to work better.

And seriously how many VPs or C-Suite executives do they think will be doing 38c surveys?

Not getting any of the red C luck in my demographic either. Waiting though on a €50 that should be sent soon for last month?

Strangely, have gotten 4 variants of the same survey on a couple of sites for Slane Whiskey which was actually grand to do, very user friendly. Pays ok.

Also, been kicked out of about 5 surveys since Friday about Covid, all kicked out after I say I’m not anxious about Covid. Hopefully them surveys aren’t being used to shape policy. I’d be tempted to lie but not for something as important as it.

You'll probably get your RED C pay out next week.Just be careful of doing the same survey on several sites.Some of these survey sites are connected and if you're found to be doing the same surveys on their sites twice you could find yourself in a bit of bother,or even banned from a site.My advice is (for what it's worth) is,if you do a survey on a particular site and you get the same survey on another site..delete it.Just my advice.

It's after the first question was my year of birth, my profile is set up with the correct DOB so I'm not lying to them.

I got something similar yesterday. I may actually have given 2 conflicting answers as I only recently had a bday and have changed age group/band

a few people had this last week with a partner survey, dont worry about it as it is more than likely a coding issue with the survey

Got exactly the same thing on Sunday with a survey. Only answered about three profile questions. And I did not make an error. But have gotten four from RED C since, so all seems fine.

I got that in the past and wrote to RedC. They said it was a response from their client's set up and apologised for the wording as I just wasn't the demographic being sought.

I got it from a partner survey and also from one of their own ones once. With their own one I had to confirm my age range twice after entering my date of birth as normal at the start. The age ranges were something like 45-49 and then 45-54. I complained, pointing out that my date of birth fitted both categories and they paid me for the survey.

I still have not been paid for an ESRI survey on electricity from them last week. Has anyone else?

another fiver just in from acumen making it a tenner since monday

L1011

Got that ESRI survey so its still live; partner surveys don't pay out until they're done.

That'll bring me over the 50 for RedC anyway; and Acumen is still going fine so nearly there too.

Got it, and similar, from a couple of sites a while back. I just said yes and carried on. They have no way of getting the data.

How? They have access to nothing via the survey. And my advertising has no connection to my TV watching whatsoever.

Sorry Jim,but I got nothing from RED C for weeks,but the past couple of weeks RED C have sent me about seven surveys and managed to do six of them.Others have seen a similar improvement in RED C.I don't know how I'm getting regular surveys lately when I've got nothing for weeks.

I have to laugh at some surveys that ask how many adults or children live in your household with an option of 'Don't Know' as an answer. Just completed an Acumen survey with that question, though I've seen it a few times lately.

How could you not know how many people live in your house? Unless they're hiding in the attic .... :eek:

I've been tempted to say Don't Know but was afraid I'd get dumped out.

Has anyone any idea how long it takes for a PayPal payment to come through from Triaba and Ask me?
Thanks

I guarantee it doesn't. I can't recall the last time I saw an ad and it certainly wouldn't indicate my TV viewing habits, which is what this was about.

I'm on €46 myself and waiting on three third party surveys.I expect they will come as there's plenty of time before the 29th.They can take up to ten days to come,but they do always come.
