Since I allowed IO access to my mobile I have been getting plenty of surveys from them.

Do you think it's surveys tailored toward what you are browsing etc? I'd worry about giving access as basically giving over a load of data to them but the it's probably stuff that facebook and google etc have so what of it...

Not especially.I browse items on E bay that I never get a survey on.As you said most of this info is on Facebook/Google anyway.I was wary of allowing access to my mobile in the begining but I did eventually as I have nothing to hide.And as I said since I allowed access to my mobile I have received more surveys from IO.Let them off with my info,I don't mind if it benifits me.I always have the option of deleting any survey they send me.

I don't think so. I clicked that approval although don't use my mobile phone online at all. I'm getting as many surveys as I wish as it is.

Thanks all.

Were you talking about the question that sometimes comes up pre entering a survey that specifically asks them to take access of your mobile rather than the general access setting that each phone has to allow them see location etc

On the former, and I can't remember what it is called, I never select yes to that but wondering if you guys did/ do?

Separately but along the same sort of lines, do you ever allow the user tool (I think it's called zoomtool or something) that they often ask if they can put on your phone / laptop for the duration of the survey? I've dodged that one whenever it arises.

I've allowed the user zoom a few times with Irish Opinions and also previously with opinions.ie. I've never had an issue they give u a task like last week it was searching for insurance so they want to see where u looked. You can just delete the extension from the computer when you are finished.

On the phone one. I allow it as I don't use the phone online anyway.

I don't allow the zoomtool because I just don't like others dropping stuff on to my tablet.

With the iReach one4all gift cards, are they sent out in the post pre-loaded with cash? Or are they sent out blank and you register them online to claim the funds?

Have slight doubts about a card getting lost in the post and then being left out of pocket.

Ireach you have to activate it online when you get it. The email address you have to use is on the website, you don't use your own email . They are the only site I have come across that send them out deactivated. Once you have activated it, it will be ready to be used the following day. You can't use it straight away.

Got a €4/€2/€1 from RED C today both on the Lotto.The first one was the usual one about the Lotto and Scratch Cards, when I got the second one I was just about to delete it after a few questions as it seemed the same as the one I got about an hour earlier (didn't want to get into bother by doing the same survey twice even if it was a RED C error) but it wasn't.It started the same but it was about new scratch Cards.But the €1 I was unable to do.I got this message when I started it,(a Partner survey)..Unknown Parameters-Your Link is incorrect.What does that mean?

I got €4 from Irish Life, €3 about vaping (didn't qualify) and I got the same error on the €1 one.

thesandeman

Yeah, the €1 one seems to be stuck. We'll get it again when they realise nobody was able to answer.

Seem to have gotten €10 from an IO ‘Social Topics’ survey delayed. Cash out straight away!

Careful_now!

Has anyone got their €50 from red c this month? I know it's a virtual card, but i haven't received it yet.

I think it's usually around the 19th of the month they are issued

I went back through my emails, and I found it. It was in the promotions part of my Gmail. That's why I didn't see it. Thanks Kitty

pgj2015

has anyone added the remainders of previous red c cards to the new one?

freshpopcorn

I also found my REDC card in an unusual inbox this month for some reason.

Just did a banking survey for RedC and was asked if I would put forward my details for a 75 euro focus group/phone call. Not my thing at all but 75 euro is 75 euro! We'll see...

Red C should really think about doing the qualification demographic questions before the "what is this animal" or "what is this shape" questions.

Annoying when you get kicked out of a survey.

Hi, did anyone ever get survey credit on irish opinions? i order a €10 tesco ecard last tuesday and then on thursday i had €10 survey credit , i can only presume that they have cancelled the ecard but i have not got a notification from them about it

For the Red C prequalifying questions, when they ask if you or a household member work in a field e.g. banking, healthcare is this to potentially disqualify you from the survey if the answer is yes?

Yes

And lying is really not recommended. Particularly as you have almost certainly told them what field you do work in elsewhere!

If you're disqualified from one, so be it. If you're caught out in lying you're finished with them. There's more than enough surveys to just be honest and take the legitimate ones.

Something strange there.When you order an E Tesco voucher from IO it's usually in your e mail within minutes.It could be a problem with IO but I have never experienced it.Why not send them an e mail with your question,they will explain the problem to you(if there was a problem).

Yep I had an extra 10 euro land in my account the other day, showed in my survey history as social topics 10 euro survey credit
