    Just got kicked out of a €2 because I didn't drink premium lager.

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Very annoyingly, Irish opinions every few weeks keeps giving me this Ipsos billboard posters survey that won’t load the pictures and then slows to a crawl.

    Also today, 5 home and family surveys on dashboard for 75c, all of them just redirect to the no surveys available page.

    One day turnaround from Acumen to get me the Allgifts code and one day turnaround for Allgifts to deliver it electronically - not bad going for this time of year at all. Now, lets hope Tesco still have some nice bottles on sale on the 27th!

    €12 for two hours from Userneeds is very good for them.

    I'm signed up, some of the others on here are as well. They're good, but they seem to give the exact same surveys as Irish Opinions, and they're probably part of the same company.

    They are both Dynata and there's little to be gained from being with both.

    Is anyone getting surveys from Ideas Panel? It's August since I last got one and I'm 23 points short of cashing out.

    Yes that happens to me also. Now, when I see the Ipsos logo, I don't even bother proceeding to start the survey as I know what's going to happen.

    Presumably it's a survey that can only be done on a laptop or PC.

    Yes they're legit. They offer rewards for Amazon.co.uk, Apple App Store / iTunes, Debenhams (which I thought had closed down?), Homesense, Pennies, TK Maxx, or a virtual Mastercard.

    I'm getting them frequently enough. I ordered a 20€ voucher in October and another one just before Christmas.
    Last survey from them was 14 December

    I never usually get them so close together but this year there has been a good few that gave extra points for video answers and then extra points for allowing them to use some in there presentations so this time they built up very quick

    A word of warning to anyone leaving a few quid sitting on the RedC virtual cards.

    I had a small balance on a card I got from them back in April and when I went to check the amount on it I discovered that the company who issue/maintain the cards had taken a €3.00 maintenance fee from it in October and again in November.

    I had gone to the trouble of checking the T&Cs (https://perxreward.com/terms-and-conditions) when I got the thing and they said (and still say) that a €3 per month maintenance fee will apply "After 12 months from card load".

    The card load date for mine is in April 2020, so the fee kicked in after 6 months, not 12.

    I've emailed them about it so we'll see what they have to say.

    They replied and have refunded the €6.00, so it's worth emailing them if you're in a similar situation.

    I've just gotten the email from Red C for my first reward. I would prefer to wait for the cheque but it says . This is the quickest way for us to get you rewards at this time, without also set up security and ask for and have to hold your bank details. What does this mean do I need to give them bank details. I would of thought if I want a cheque and then they send it to me and I just lodge it to my account. What security do they mean and what details will I have to give. Thanks

    Never heard of this kind of email from red c so I can’t help with the bank details thing I’m afraid, if you copy and paste the full email it might help understand it fully

    As for the cheque, you will be waiting a long time with the lockdown kicking in, normally they issue a virtual MasterCard which you can spend online or transfer to your bank via PayPal

    Dear REDC Live Member,



    Wishing you a Very Happy 2021!!



    Thank you for your continuous support. Your opinions are important to us and we are happy to have you in our panel.



    You have now reached our 50 points threshold for payment. As you are aware we normally send payments out to panellists by cheque. In the current circumstances surrounding Coronavirus Outbreak and subsequent government guidelines, we can’t do this, as it would be a danger to staff having to process and handle the cheques. We also don’t want to send out documents to you either if we can help it.



    As such, at least for the duration of the crisis, we will be sending out your rewards in digital/virtual card format. This is the quickest way for us to get you rewards at this time, without also set up security and ask for and have to hold your bank details. The digital cards will be sent to you by email from RED C, the cards created by EML Payment Group. If you receive an email from us, with a link to your digital credit card, you can be assured that this is legitimate. The cards can be used for any payment that can be made online or over the phone, wherever Mastercard is accepted, in exactly the same way as a physical card, but can’t be used in store.



    There is a little set up time involved in processing the digital cards, so bear with us, we should have them sent out to you in the next 2 to 3 weeks.



    If, for whatever reason, you do not wish to receive the digital payment, and much rather wait for a cheque, please reply to this email by 10th January with ‘CHEQUE’. Cheques will be sent towards the second half of January, or later, depending on lockdown restrictions.



    We hope that you are all keeping safe during Covid-19, and thank you again for all your input helping us to continue to deliver the opinions of the people of Ireland at this time.



    Regards

    The REDC Live Team

    Ah that’s the standard email they sent to everyone, your post made it sound like there was an option for bank details

    Just wait for the virtual card if you want that or contact them for a cheques of you want to wait

    I didn't know, it said they would be holding bank details so that's what I was querying. So if I ask for the cheque they will just send that and not want my details
