I have been answering the Irish Opinion surveys almost since they started. I have earned 4 x €10 Tesco vouchers, and this is answering every single survey they have sent me. Some I am not eligable for, I accept that.

BUT

My first €10 voucher I claimed never reached me. I emailed them explaining and they said they had sent it and there was nothing they could do.

AND

I have very recently completed a survey for them on alcoholic drink consumption. I went way past the profiling questions and answered many questions on how often I drank differerent drinks, and how I felt about different drinks etc... at least 8 pages and about 50 questions past the age, children, occupation, where you live profiling section.
They gathered all this info and then suddenly told me they already had enough participants and stopped. The bar at the top of the screen said that I had completed 25% of a survey they had offered me €7.50 for.

As far as I am concerned they are scamming and getting out of payments. This has happened to me before with them on several occaisions, but never to such a degree.

I have written and complained, asking for my 25% of the fee, and all I got back was that same generic email from Isabel. They hadn't even read my email giving the details, and if they did they obviously ignored it and think I will go away and be quiet.... WRONG

Same here.

I think I've gotten about €50 over the years and I'm doing the surveys for a very long time.

I too get a lot of some surveys filled in and like you have answered pages of questions of the topic of the survey and once they've gathered the info they're looking for and then get the "they already have enough participants".

I've seen several threads on various website forums where more than a few people have experienced the same.

Looks like they have done the same thing to many people then on this recent drinks survey then... offer big reward... get people to do a smaller survey and then tell them they have too many people !!!

It gives the industry as a whole a bad name. The parent company is called Rewards Now Plc and operates out of London. Irish Opinions is run from that office in London also. Not that I have a problem with that, I don't, but they flaunt their membership of ESOMAR, and the MRA among a long list ! These organisations require apparently high standards of behaviour.... hmmm

I too can't log in, the link to log in brings me to a blank oage

Have received €20 worth of Tesco vouchers so far this year, so they do pay but yeah they take their time on issuing them.

MC

I have a good few surveys still pending, some are a few weeks old now.

I do the surveys infrequently but have still managed to get 20 quid in vouchers in the past few months, love the site.

The trick is to fill out the about you parts on the site, then when it comes to filling in the survey be clever about it, eg. if its about groceries dont say you're male 18 etc.

Dude, that's cheating..
