Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

Yeah think ur right. Just that I have undergone a hospitalisation and surgery since May and TBH, was too sick to even think straight. Only getting back to myself now and I think that's good, sound advice. Thanks.

Its a darm nuisance that u can only use the gift card instore though. I seldom if ever go in to supermarkets now as I suffer severe vertigo, and the lighting combined with walking in circles and the endless rows of products really triggers it off. I've had to abandon my cart in the middle of the store more than once due feeling so sick!!

So basically now I do 99% of my shopping online. But tescos will not accept the gift cards online only in store. I have rang them and discussed with them that this is rather unfair. But nothing doing atm and IO customer services can do nothing. It seems rather pointless tho issuing an 'e gift card' that can only be used physically, and not online!! Seems to defeat the purpose tbh..so I've been doing less and less surveys of late. I did see a lady this evening on Facebook also upset about verifying her IO account and said she's closing it.

I don't blame her as its nothing more than globalist nonsense. If you have 2 factor authentication enabled and pass that, thay should be enough.

Have actually cashes out and got the amazon vouchers but mu point is you should have a choice.

As for 'conspiracies' was very right 3 years ago when I predicted they would try to force vax passports on people!! Hint Google China's Social Credit System to see what they have planned for us all.

As for IO who knows what they are up to?? I see on trust pilot a lot of people complaining about this verification. Unfortunately IO have a bad history - remember a few years ago when they wiped people's accounts and accused them of lying in surveys?? I'm sure there was and are plenty of fake accounts out there etc, but am also darn sure they did that to avoid paying out they seemed at the time to wipe accounts of people who had maybe 100-150 saved in points, probably for Christmas. At that time the reviews were swarming with peole they had swindled out of money. I rang UK trading standards over it as they are registered over there, and suffice to say, trading standards weren't a bit surprised and said they get lots of complaints about them.

Well I'm lucky I've cashed out safely anyway. I'll stay on the panel amd keep quiet, maybe do short surveys and build up to a tenner here and there, but nkt expect much.

As an aside is there anyone here with RedC? I have 3 surveys pending payment where they said payout would take 3-4 weeks that was at start of July. C frustrating as I'm now on 48 points and want to cash out before the end of the month. Again, it's hard to keep track of when u do these surveys - I always have to keep the original emails and a screenshot of ehen I complete the survey. Bit can't help feeling there's a lot of feet dragging involved. If you've completed the survey accurately enough that ots been passed and submitted without getting thrown out, you should be credited within a few days at most IMO.

Would agree with u there re Red C. Its just a pain and can be confusing cos it puts the onus on the panelist to keep the emails Screenshots etc in case u have to prove ur case to them eg was checking this eve there one survey I completed 23 June €4 and not for the life of me can I see that it was credited. So sent off an email enquiring about this but I know from experience with them it can be hit or miss (I think it depends on the person answering tbh). Last time it happened she insisted the survey HAD been paid out, just 2 weeks after completion it was a €5 survey. But there was zero sign of it on my dashboard so I sent her a screenshot asking her WHERE exactly was it listed? Then she wanted the email invite (which I had already sent her, then she wanted the link etc etc. ..which is why I now keep the emails and copies of links 🙄🙄🙄). Eventually she did credit me the points but lucky I had done due diligence, and had some proof, but it was like getting blood from a stone.
