    Finally finished... And got a session timed out response.

    This happened to me too only I wasn't as clever as you and did not take screenshots! I've emailed but not holding out much hope reading through the other posts. Waste of time!

    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.

    I've just done that survey and the EXACT same thing happened to me. Not credited either so I took 2 pictures of the screen with the phone, one of the page that shows I have an 'unfinished survey' and the other a page of the message I get to show that I have completed the survey. I'm not holding out much hope that I'll get the full €4 as I had to email them earlier in the week about a similar incident. I can't remember what the reward was but it was definitely more than the €1 they manually paid into my account.

    OK well I heard back (quite soon I might add) and was told that I was stopped from completing the survey because I did not meet the desired demographic criteria or consumer habits the client was looking for.
    I find that hilarious because eh yeah, I did complete the whole survey.
    But I was awarded the €4 for my time spent on the survey......Second time this has happened me in a week with IO. Now fair enough if they pay out in the end but it'd make you wonder what's wrong with the whole survey system if you know 100% that you completed a survey only to be told you didn't??

    50% through survey that was pretty Sky centric on Irish Opinions and suddenly they've too many respondents after I start to indicate that it's less likely I'll get Sky Sports or Cinema. Some really pointless questions - who has the best pundits / commentators and puts it up against the likes of Amazon Now and Netflix :D

    🤪

    The Sky surveys aren't just Sky centric, they're run by Sky - take a look at the web address!

    I've not heard so much as a peep from them, but the pending survey has been removed and I didn't get so much as a cent from them!

    Edited to add:
    The survey doesn't even show up in my history!!!

    If I get that reply, there will be trouble!
    There's no way I'm accepting 4 euro for a 3 hr survey.

    You have your screenshots so I wouldn't be letting this one go. Hope you hear back from them soon. I was surprised to hear back the next day as the previous complaint took almost a week to hear back and be compensated. Hang in there.

    3.5 for me. And no response from Irish Opinions as to why I got literally no reward for my time. And the survey has vanished. Not even logged in my history. I've a funny feeling that €19 is a write off :(

    I know somebody in the same position. It has to be an internal problem in IO. Keep badgering them by email and refer to the fact that, from forums, it is clearly not just an issue for you.

    I've just emailed them again! If it was just a bog standard survey - twenty minutes to even an hour, I'd probably just forget about it. But it was tedious as hell and I want my money :pac:

    Usually about 5 to 6 weeks after you request payment.

    From my experience it takes 5 to 6 weeks from the date you requested payout.

    After 7 weeks still nothing delivered to me. Upon messaging they asked for my address and said they would get back to me.

    This is what I got

    Dear Irish Opinions member,
     
    Thank you for your email.
     
    Upon investigation we have found that your voucher has been delivered to your address.
    As a goodwill gesture, we will refund the credit for this order only. However please note that we will not be able to offer any further refunds in the future.
    Please redeem online voucher.
    We add €10 to your total balance.

    What I want to know is how would they know it had been delivered to my address? They aren't sent recorded delivery and as I am the only one that deals with the post in my house I can categorically say that it wasn't delivered.

    When I replied saying that there was no way it can have been delivered I got this response

    Dear Irish Opinions member,
     
    You haven't received it therefore we have refunded.
    Please redeem again.

    That is what I call rude and not very good customer service using that sort of tone with people.

    Hi Morbeous,

    The 5-6 week waiting time I referred to above was for Europinions.ie, a totally different survey company.

    I think it can take up to 6 weeks to receive physical vouchers in the post from Irish Opinions, but you're right, you don't have to sign for 1 x €10 voucher. What I think they may have meant was that it was sent to you, but sure they have no way of knowing that you actually received it. I do think it was good of them to credit your account with €10, but that's just my opinion.
