Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

L1011 · 17-09-2016 8:15pm

How much you make is entirely dependent on demographics. 25-44 females would be the most represented doing these by a huge margin, and hence the potential income is very spread.

I've €57 on RedC since January 1st, taken out €130 from IO in the same time period and maybe 40-50 quid across everything else. 25-44 male.

If you do multiple sites you need to be very careful not to answer the same surveys multiple times as that is what gets accounts poisoned and stops further surveys coming. There are tracking surveys that come every month or so but make sure never to answer the same thing twice in a week or so.

Also be aware that you may be better off waiting to see if the same survey gets offered by a better payer. There is a hideously complicated beer tracker survey that all the sites offer and you get 2.90 on most Cint panels, or 50c via Toluna!

Interesting! I received a cheque back in June from REDCLIVE and am 36 euro into my next one. I've made 120.00 euro on IO. Would love to receive more from both. I am a female and 20 years of age. Last year I made 170.00 on IO. Doubt I'll rack up another 50 euro by December unless they sent out the 22.50 survey again!

Anyone do GFK Media surveys, what do you think, are they worthwhile? How much do you reckon you could make per year doing both Irish Opinions and RedC... basically doing every survey you receive? Maybe 150-200 a year for Irish but how much for RedC?

GFK Media requires a daily survey listening all TV and Radio you watched/listened to with a more detailed analysis of 3 TV and 3 Radio programmes. Payment varies on how many you do each month. The max is €2 for 30 or 31 days of surveys. The payment is by vouchers for an Allgifts type site where you can buy vouchers for various shops or Amazon (at a very poor string/euro rate)

Good question.

I do the Irish Media Survey (Gfk) almost every day each month. You might earn around 1.5 or 2 Euro on it if you don't miss too many days. (Just being realistic.)
They are worth it for me because I can speed through them while accurately reporting that I don't watch TV or listen to the radio....

They *might* make it easier for new members to win a voucher though. If I remember correctly, I got a fiver from three of the first four months I entered the prize draw from the survey.

Irish Opinions averages out at just over 10 Euro/month, more if you can get a phone survey or if they decide to send out more broken beverage surveys than usual...

RED C varies. One year I almost got 3 cheques, but most of the time it takes me over 8 months to get one. Roughly 80-100 Euro/year. Obviously, this rate of earning might be lower than others in less common demographic groups.

My IO earnings so far this year is 160. I'm not sure how that compares to previous years. I get 3 cheques every year from Red C and 2 so far this year and it looks to be on track for a 3rd.

Anybody else having problems with IO this week? Several times the website is down "for maintenance" with I've tried to do surveys.

Cork2015! · 21-09-2016 3:37pm

My IO is actually quite good this week but was awful for about two weeks I thought they had decided to blacklist my account or something but all good now

Cork2015! · 21-09-2016 3:39pm

My earnings so far this year (started in March)

Acumen €20
Ask me pay me €4.30
IO €110
Mysurvey €15
Opinion World €60
Toluna €30
Shop & Scan €10
Ideas Panel €20

Looking forward to a shopping day at Christmas, hoping to cash in another few before then, stuck on €40 with redc for what seems like forever so doubt I will ever make it to the €50

Aglomerado · 21-09-2016 3:56pm

I have a lot of trouble recently with Irish Opinions surveys, I can get about 90% of the way to completion then I get told I'm not suitable. I don't mind it when I'm asked age, county, job status or any of the basic demographics and I get screened out but this drives me nuts. I've been with them for years and this is happening more and more often.

Typically they are very good to come back and credit me anyway when I complain, but this morning I almost completed a survey about pharmacies (Boots ad as part of it). I'd been redirected to it when the survey link I was emailed opened to a completed survey page and they "found" me another survey.

Anyone know what the survey reference number might have been? As I can't get credit for it and I delete the emails as I finish them...

APCLCHAMH · 21-09-2016 5:32pm

Woooow the amount you've made so far on OpinionWorld is crazy, how lucky! The most I make on them a year is less than 80eur and that's with constant effort/updating my profile etc.
I would say the most one could earn on IO is 200eur a year(with a popular demographic and very quick response to each survey and regularly updating of survey profiles).
IdeasPanel - you have 20.00 already - that's excellent! I signed up for them at the start of April and I'm at 12.50(I didn't qualify for one or two) and often the rewards can be very little - but I always find the surveys really enjoyable!

Question for everyone: Has anyone been a member of ideasPanel for a year or more and if you have how much can you make from them?

I'm with Ideas Panel several years. €40 a year would be good for them. I clear at least €250 with Irish Opinions.

APCLCHAMH · 21-09-2016 6:41pm

That's impressive, would love to get myself 250 a year from them!
I would be interested in knowing how many surveys you receive from them per day?
When I first signed up late 2014 I would get approx 3 surveys a day and quality for them all now I am lucky to qualify for 4 each week

eeeeek. Maybe lots of people participate in the Kildare area...

L1011 · 21-09-2016 6:48pm

Age, gender, kids (having them/how many), income and job class all matter too. They'll catch you up eventually if you lie on most of those - address when you claim, gender when you forget you're actually Samantha not Sam, etc.

APCLCHAMH · 21-09-2016 6:54pm

I'm not surprised, I'd say many lie to be able to participate. I don't though, I prefer to tell the truth and if I don't quality(which happens a lot(unfortunately) ah well... Exactly I'm sure they are extra observant of those who have been lying for a while possibly security checks, scary! Once I miss-typed my D.O.B at the end of a RedClive survey, how annoying was that!

SouthernBelle · 21-09-2016 8:43pm

I just reached another €10 with IO today. Total for the year:

Irish Opinions €60 (Tesco)
Acumen €30 (Allgifts.ie voucher)
Res C €20 with RedC (yawwwwn!!)
Ideas Panel €20 (Boots)

Cork2015! · 23-09-2016 1:32pm

Does anyone else use ask me pay me?

Just looked at my account and seen this one euro, not going to break the bank i know but just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Cal04 · 23-09-2016 1:45pm

It happened to me a few months ago. My account balance was -€2.90 (minus). I queried it and they replied that my last survey had failed a quality check and they had deducted the €2.90 reward. Luckily, I had cashed out before they applied the deduction. I haven't bothered with them since.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 23-09-2016 10:00pm

Got a survey from Acumen today and realised I hadn't cashed out in a while. The total for the year cashed out is now €170.

Cork2015! · 26-09-2016 8:37am

I followed up with ask me pay me and they said the deduction came as the system said i completed a survey too fast even though i had completed it fully and honestly, so they got a nice stern reply and i got my account credited happy days :-)

Cork2015! · 27-09-2016 9:58am

Does anyone use shopperthoughts for clubcard points, is it worth it?

L1011 · 27-09-2016 10:06am

Cork2015! wrote: »

Yes. They aren't very common (although there have been a lot more recently, and a few general ones that weren't Tesco specific). Payout can take some time - weeks before it goes to your clubcard and then up to 3 more months before you get it depending on when the last statement was sent.

uck51js9zml2yt · 27-09-2016 12:30pm

After a hiatus of a few monthsi got 2 from redC this week for 6€.
Almost up to 50 again:)

Not a big earner shopperthoughts but on the plus side you dont waste time completing surveys to eventually get kicked out. An easy few extra clubcard points when you get them

Naid23 · 27-09-2016 9:29pm

Any one else having problems with IO the last 2 days? Any time ive clicked on 'take a survey' it keeps bringing up a financial products survey for 1 euro and then saying its full. Very annoying

mjv2ydratu679c · 28-09-2016 10:32am

Just a word of warning - everyone avoid Europinions. Have had a cash out payment of €30 pending since July and they are not responding to my emails. Avoid at all costs - scam site.

Will you let us know how you get on? Maybe they are just slow? I'm with them months but only have about €1 so im nowhere near cashing out but would be interesting to see how you get on.

RoYoBo · 28-09-2016 3:28pm

How long do Irish Opinions Tesco or Boots vouchers last before they expire once they are issued? I was saving all mine up for Xmas, but I understand that you can't claim them all at one time.

I asked before and I'm pretty sure someone said a year but i might be wrong

I used to save them up but was afraid of them going bust or something so now claim €10 each time and save them in an envelope for christmas

Minimum 6 months up to 5 years from memory. They let you take out about 40 a day and will actually bundle vouchers ordered very close in one (registered) envelope.

I was sure it was €50 must check again, how much they let you cash out at one time. Can they be used with tesco online or only instore?

I was able to order €50 at one time yesterday and I think I can do the same today (if I had that much!). From what I read on the site, you can only use the Tesco vouchers online to buy a few items such as flowers eg.

How did you know.

Nah. More like a kindle but they may stop selling them anyway with them being a HMV concession going on what other have said in another BA thread.

In the small print on the Tesco voucher blurb on IO:

Tesco gift cards have a limited use online, they can only be used to purchase CDs, DVDs, books and flowers online.

So, you can buy the books, just not the Kindle

dee_mc · 30-09-2016 12:05am

I think you can use a Tesco voucher to buy an Argos or possibly even amazon voucher/giftcard and buy the kindle that way?

From what I heard it is 50/50. Need to be done at the register and kind of luck of the draw, not sure if there is a secondary charge, but would be worth it to put the money to what I really want,

L1011 · 03-10-2016 7:59pm

Had to re-take a Conformit-powered IO survey after faking my browsers details as it gave me a mobile version that didn't work. This used to happen constantly with ones with videos, or that stupid bloody Flash map to pick a county but now it seems anything even minorly advanced doesn't work on their mobile interface.

This was on a 11.6" laptop with a fully modern browser and Flash!

Cork2015! · 05-10-2016 10:45am

So annoyed with myself just did a red c survey for €4 (which would have brought me to the €50 cheque next month) and i made a mistake on last question GRRRRRR
When it says how many people in the house at the start I said 4, but last question was again how many people in the house but i missread it as how many adults and said 2..... grrr
Wont be making that mistake again!
The thing I liked about it though is when it kicked me out it told me exactly what I had done wrong... this is handy as i imagine people would be annoyed if they dont know what they did to get kicked out

Not sure what you are asking. Register and complete the surveys they send you.
You'll not get rich on RedC as while the individual surveys okay better than most, they are more limited and it takes a while to reach the cash out point.

Less surveys, but they pay well so true. Think i am getting cheque #4 from red c this month. Not this year mind registered with them a while.

Cal04 · 07-10-2016 2:10pm

Red C seem to have a lot more surveys of late. Got a cheque about a month ago and am nearly at 30 e again.

You could go a couple of weeks and no survey.

I had 6 RedC this week and screened out of all. I have never had a run like that with them before.

What do you mean by screened out? As in you were sent a link but the link didnt actually allow you to do it for whatever reason? Did you guys have the one about drug use in Ireland?

Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc
