    If its the same one I've done, its a tracker, it'll be re-sent to the same people as they want to track changes in behaviour. It takes ages to pay out - I've done 4 and think I've been paid for 2!

    Asking what you did the previous 2 days, who called and who u met and where u went, in the morning afternoon and evening

    It says some can be open for a month so it will come eventually.

    Hope so, it flings me over the 50 and I've gave up the surveys so don't really want to do anymore!

    I'm using swagbucks for the last time. Once I get a 10 amazon voucher I'm out, it's too goddamn slow and difficult to get any points like ipsos. The surveys are all silly as well.

    I don't have kids, maybe that excludes me but the studies are painful to fill in and so long.

    No kids here, i just do the surveys, use the search engine and the games daily.

    There are plenty of shorter surveys, screenout points, and bonuses if you know where to look with Swagbucks. I do the poll for 1 SB and the card game every day for another 10. One survey generally gets me to the first "daily goal", which adds to a monthly bonus balance, and then I try to check off the other items on the checklist for the two bonuses. Survey walls through Revenue Universe will get you either more SB or one screenout SB at a time, and they all count as "offers", not surveys. AdGate surveys are similar, but they rarely work out for me, and they tend to stop at 2 screenout SB in a row.

    I've been there, it's far too much effort for the reward. They make it too convoluted compared to many others just sending surveys.
    A grand a year can be made with the other sites for a combined effort less than SB's going all around the houses to clock up points.

    I was so surprised with Ideas Panel. I just got my phone credit reward topped up on my phone today and I only ordered it April 13th. They have improved majorily as my last reward took almost 4 months from them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,709 ✭✭✭cloudatlas


    I am on prolific which is more academic surveys and I make around £30 a month and the surveys are sometimes thought provoking so I think I'll abandon swagbucks and stick with that.

    Did everyone get asked to update their RedC demographics profile or was it just me?

    It's not a great time to be asking people what they've been drinking in pubs and restaurants!

    I’d say everyone got the email because I can’t even get red c website to load here

    I hear ya. some of the questions need to be more specific. "how much do you spend on yourself per week?" pre covid or now? big difference. "do you go to the cinema, match, pub, restaurant etc?" I did in 2019 like but not so much now as all those places are closed and have been for months.

    Yes, I got the same demographic survey. They seem to be having issues lately though - not sure if its Covid related or what. Surveys crashing, malfunctioning, with confusing messages at the end eg 'thank you for your interest in taking a survey' - when you've COMPLETED a survey. Had to email to see if I was paid or not - 2 weeks on, STILL no straight answer! Also, this morning a survey about radon gas - asked to enter a 3 digit pin to view a map, and then AFTER viewing the map, would be given a 5 digit pin to rejoin the survey. When I entered the 3 digit PIN, it refused to show the map - instead, demanded the 5 digit PIN - which of course, I didn't have. And then screened me out for 'inconsistincies'! Emailed them to query this, but judging from previous emails, on other surveys, they seem to be very slow to respond, and then ask the same info over and over again. Eg - I was asked for a survey link THREE times, despite having already provided it, along with screenshot! It's like talking to a brick wall. Very surprised at them - I rejoined, having been with them years ago, and they were excellent. If this continues though, not sure it's worth the hassle and effort, especially as the surveys are so few and far between.

    radon survey worked fine for me, the map opened in a new tab and was easy to use

    Acumen's been busy for me lately but far more than a normal % of surveys are bombing out at the end and not crediting. They nearly always fix this, but its annoying.

    Waiting on two myself (not as long as you though), one on the 5th May,and the other on the 7th May.They always credit eventually.But you would not want to be depending on one of them for a pay out on the 29th of the month.

    Got that one and updated my info.I don't have a problem with saying what i drank during the pandemic.If it leads to more surveys I'm fine with that.

    I did that survey with no problems.Entered both pin numbers when needed.You just needed to pay attention and follow the instructions.

    I find Acumen great I only signed up afew months ago and just ordered my 5th 10€ tonight. I've never had an issue with a survey and anytime they have said I would be credited on a certain date I was. I did one last week and it said I would be credited yesterday and I was. They give a decent amount per survey too

    Add the card to PayPal send it to another PayPal account vie friends and family option, they send it back and it’s in your PayPal balance and then withdraw to any chosen bank account
