    I'm getting worried about these people. Claimed a Tesco voucher on October 11th and its still not arrived. Have messaged them 4 times and had no response. Just found their phone number online and again no answer. Ive 92 Euro in my account at the moment and don't want to claim any vouchers just yet incase the company have ceased. Will not be doing any more surveys until I get a response from them

    Not claiming won't stop them ceasing. And if they did cease, not claiming would still leave you out of pocket. No reason not to claim. Sometimes they can be particularly slow with some types of vouchers.

    Back when duedil was free you could see the vast financial reserves and vast profits made by ResearchNow - they aren't going anywhere.

    I got unblocked by opinion world today finally. The barring was due to a fault on their behalf. Cashed in my points , how long before they send an evoucher?

    Just got onto that €19 one today. Just on part 2 and have been at it 1.5 hours. Have 16 already, plus €4 for the "incentive" instant payout. Strongly considering closing out of it and getting my life back.

    Its about 3 hrs in total. No less.
    Stick at it.
    I've had to email them about it as I didn't get the landing page at the end where you rate the survey.

    I've had a problem with them just at the last step of the survey then I get a message that there is a problem and the page is blocked - so they get the survey completed but I won't get credited for it.

    As a result, every time I get a survey to do in my inbox, I just delete it.

    I started the 19euro one and it was decided after five questions that I wasn't suitable :(

    I wish it decided after 5 questions that I wasn't suitable :mad:
    It's a terribly-constructed survey. Why do I need to go through 4 pages of questions on a product I've stated I do not own and never intend to buy? :pac:

    I think some of those ridiculous repeated questions are because they assume a "never" might be a mis-hit the first time. After the second or third it clearly isn't.

    Second most hated thing about survey design. Most hated is when they ask you have you heard of a brand and answering yes means you get asked 20 questions on that brand. And they ask on 20 brands.

    Meaning an honest answer could create 400 tickboxes! I suspect many, many people under-answer those heard of questionss deliberately

    Anyone get the one about the new alcoholic drink and a picture of a tidal wave the other day? Even the wording of the advertisement was terrible. Not that I am expert in marketing or anything but I could do a better job than that !

    Just to point out that you signed a form NOT to discuss the product on social media.

    Just skip those questions. :-)

    The survey, if completed, pays over the odds compared to most other surveys.

    Did you actually read the form that you signed?
    You don't have to name the product to breach the conditions.

    Nope, session timed out, took a few screenshots and saved them. Now when I click on take a survey, it tells me I either have to resume that survey or close it. When I click to resume it, it tells me "it appears you have already completed this survey). No €4 added either.
