Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

L1011

IO pays you far less for your time than RedC and Acumen, though. Screening out on those is usually isntant, and Acumen pay you a small amount for screening out.

IO returning more payments doesn't make it more worth your time - if you thought that you'd use Toluna!

IMO the only site worth the time with is Irish opinions, I've been rejected from god knows how many RedC surveys over the last year or so, I'm on €48 with them so when I hit €50 I'm giving up on them. In the same time I've got about £80 in amazon vouchers from acumen and about €120 in tesco vouchers from Irish opinons. I get one or 2 IO surveys per day on average so it's easy to build up some money with them.

I don't recall ever getting screened out of RedC. I don't get many invites, none for the last couple of weeks, but when I get them, they all seem to work for me.

I think I managed to get through 50-60% of RED C surveys. IO shut out of about 95% of what they have invited me for. I might have more luck if I fill out my profile more completly, but too pressed for time right now.

Those 4 are the best Irish ones. You might try ideaspanel.ie also, pretty good, might cash out at around €60-80 per year in vouchers, Dunnes, Tesco, Supervalu, Amazon etc.

I've just signed up to this so will see how it goes..
IO works well for me although I did get screened out of the 22.50 one:(
Been sitting on 41 points on Red C for a month and a half..wish I could get to the 50..

I've missed out on all but one Red C survey since I signed up because they always saw not compatible with a mobile device.

I'm only dumped out of about 1 in 15 RedC. Probably has to do with the demographic I fit in to.

The last 2 or 3 redc suveys I got I couldn't manage to even start the survey because it expects a UK postcode.

Shiny new website coming on stream tonight. Got my €22.50 last Tuesday.

How long were you waiting to be credited? I completed it last night.. just wondering when I can expect to see it in my account.

I'm signed up with them, I get about 4 or 5 surveys a month. I would suggest always selecting to save your points as payment for surveys, they're always trying to make you spend them on a scratchcard, I used to do that but never won anything. Save your points and like Acumen you get an AllGifts.ie voucher.

I did one of their website surveys on http://www.one4all.ie the other day so if you visit their site you and do their survey you might get to join that way.

Ireach are pretty slow at crediting you for surveys.

Severe boredom in work has meant I've done a few Toluna surveys

Have found that the lower the points, the far shorter they take - a 2000 pointer (50c value) will be the same as a €2 on Irish Opinions but a 1600 (40c) could take seconds. Still a long slog but I really do have nothing better to be doing today!

If you even think the same survey could come up on another site, drop it as you'll get paid more by the other site. One they keep offering is the Milward Brown tracking survey on beer brands which IO pay rather a lot better for.

I got their 'Hot Topics' survey this evening about Eircodes, which was starting to look like a way of doing a small but free survey. On the fourth page it crapped out, with;

It was only 4 pages long; but I do suspect it was a survey they weren't paid much for and weren't going to pay participants for. I've done a few surveys about eircodes because the losing bidders and some vested interests are trying their best to cause trouble about it.

I got the same survey, and the same message after their fourth question about why I have such an opinion on eircodes.
I've also got a pending credit for a €2 survey on beverages. Not entirely sure when I completed it but it was at least 2 weeks ago. Anyone else have this?

L1011

Search the number for it in your emails and you should see when its from - that's how I know I still have two from 2014!

Same here.
Tried again and was successful second time.

Signed up to shop&Scan in Feb and received my scanner and codebook last week.

Just have a few quick questions, if any of the seasoned users from S&Sc wouldn't mind answering (as their website FAQ is a bit vague).

On what basis are points rewarded? Do you need to submit so many barcodes and so many receipts a week?
I uploaded approx 100 barcodes last week and 7 receipts (was restocking my cupboard!), but checked my account this am and was only allocated 60 points (!)

Do I need to wait until the end of the month before all points are tallied?

Ah I see. Does that figure rise dependent on how long you're on the panel?
