    Looks like it has gone through now, directly to the awards balance, and not 'pending' - but is there any way for me to check this? Can I see a history of my awards balance?

    Click on History and scroll down.

    Just got a response from IO about that €22.50 survey with the error at the end. The gist is wait six weeks with fingers crossed…

    Occasionally, at the end of a survey, if there is a technical issue with the last screen, your participation will not been shown on your account until after the study is fully closed and sent for payment processing. If you successfully completed the survey, we will have all your answers on record and will credit your account within the usual 6 weeks even if it is not showing in pending. If you did not complete the survey in full, then we cannot reward you.

    Unfortunately, we cannot tell your participation status at this time and therefore cannot confirm the reward status which means we are unable to reward you for this survey at this point.

    That's a standard/template reply. That particular survey went to my pending immediately. I'd pursue it further, if I was you.

    Anyone know if you can use the gift cards from this to buy other gift cards in Tesco? Wouldn't mind swapping for Argos vouchers

    Answering my own question here for anyone else curious. Yep - you can buy any gift card.

    Traded €80 in IO Tesco cards just now for €80 Argos (bonus clubcard points too :))

    I got 2 today, only qualified for one of them but there's been quite a few from Red C just recently, I've probably made at least 10 euro in the last couple of weeks.

    It can take a while after joining, to get into full swing. Even then it comes in cycles.

    €15 Toluna payout I requested weeks if not months ago actually finally arrived. Will blow the remaining points on "gifties" and then filter the emails to a dump folder for a few months on the unlikely chance I win something. Biggest waste of time ever and it devalues the payout rate if companies use it.

    2 today for me too.

    Also, the exact same survey appeared today on opinionworld and mysurvey. Opinionworld paid €1 for it and mysurvey paid 40 points which works out at less than 40cents. Says a lot really

    2 today and got to do both.

    I dropped Mysurvey because of the dire rewards.

    I owe my brother some money and I currently have €49 on my account so the next survey will make them issue the cheque automatically but I'll be away for a few months and won't be able to cash it till I get back.

    If I change the name in the "My details" section on RedC will the next cheque be issued in the my brothers name so he can cash it thus saving me money for my trip?

    That should work, however RedC would find it a bit suspicious if you were changing name repeatedly I would imagine.

    Went to order some vouchers from Acumen and found that AllGifts don't do Tesco anymore. That was the most useful option for me

    They still do Amazon (at a poor but realistic currency rate), IKEA and about a hundred other shops I'd have less use for.

    Boots or argos ones are useful this time of the year

    Allgifts confirmed by email that Tesco are gone - although pointed out that Dunnes is available. Have a Dunnes near me albeit not quite as convenient as Tesco was.

    That's so annoying, I only used Acumen for the 50 euro Tesco vouchers. Do you think they'll get them back at all? They were the best one :(

    They (Allgifts) said they were gone fully.

    I'll live with Dunnes - will lose the use of the Lidl/Aldi 10 off 50s at the same time but its still got a good range of whiskey which is what I spend the bulk of my survey earnings on.

    Seperately I've had €13 on RedC bounce me after the demographics questions in the past few days - all within minutes of the email. Very rare for them.

    I just hit 40 a few days ago, was saving up for 50 for Tesco. I'll just get one of the Boots vouchers and then leave it at that. It's been while since I've ordered a voucher from All Gifts through Acumen, does anyone know how long they usually take? Should the voucher be here before Xmas considering I literally just redeemed my points now?

    Acumen take up to two days to send the code, Allgifts are usually pretty damn fast but post is much slower this time of year.
