    Flipping cheeky beggars just send me the end of that red meat survey...So I completed it thinking that there must have been problems the last time and that I would get my €2, only to be kicked out after some classification questions at about 90% :confused::mad: Anyone else get this? It actually seems like a calculated move on their part to get free information.

    Anyone else having problems trying to check their account history or claiming vouchers?

    I have €10.20 on my account now and when I go to claim it comes up with this and wont let me proceed.

    We are sorry, the page you are trying to access does not exist.

    This survey might be closed now.

    By the way , did you know that by keeping your profile updated you will receive more surveys relevant to you?

    I have the same problem. I emailed them about it a few days ago but I have not received a response. I can check my account history but when I try to redeem a voucher I get the same message as above. I haven't had any problems redeeming vouchers until now.

    After a year of doing this, I still have yet to reach enough credit to redeem. I'm ineligible for 90% of the surveys, although the first 50% of my credit, I was eligible for all the surveys and got that within a day or two.

    Also, last 3 surveys I did, I never received the credit for.

    Yeah, same for me when I try claim a voucher. I have €20 waiting for me and everything! Emailed them anyway. It's a fairly essential function like.

    Edit: Never mind, it's fixed now! Strange.

    It's great they have it fixed! As for the paid surveys, I am pretty sure most of the people using this as extra income are students. I tried it myself but the time I put in is really not worth the pay I earn so I switched to freelancing on about anything I could possibly do

    Irish Opinions are a <SNIP>. I've received €30 worth off online Amazon vouchers from them, the code number in all of them is 000000 and it shows in my account history as such. I contacted them twice, haven't got any answer. I'm actually thinking of placing posters in town warning people from using them.
    I've ordered offline Tesco voucher 2 months ago, it never arrived. Tried to contact Irish Opinions three times, however, no reply from them received.

    It's interesting to see how this post is still active after a good 6 years. Lots of different views on Irish Opinions, personally I've never had any issues with them, although I must agree with what most people on the forum says, that it took quite a long time after signing up, before the surveys started coming in at a steady pace.

    Since I joined I've always received the vouchers claimed within 30 days, and when ever I have had any problems with the website or any surveys, I mail them and usually get a reply within a couple of days.

    While I agree with most of what you say and I too have never had a delay in receiving vouchers (Amazon are received within 2 minutes) I cannot agree about their replies to queries. About 40% of the time I get a standard generic reply but 60% get no relies at all. It's the one aspect of IO that I have a problem with.

    I have been with Irish Opinions since 2006, but I noticed that the amount of surveys I get have shot up massively since 2010, which is fine by me; I suppose I am in a popular demographic!

    I've done around 30 surveys so far this year and I am sure there'll be more to come in the run-up to Christmas. Boots, here I come :D:D

    funny ive emailed them few times last few months with links to surveys that didnt work and no answer...

    Then last week i copped that id been at the same price for the last 4 months- i emailed them and ate them- and now all of a sudden all my survey money i wasnt given has shot through- as well as about 5 emails apoligising for my survey links not working.

    do they have someone come in and answer all the emails 3/4 months at a time??some of those surveys went back ages:confused:

    The only reason I've put up their crap service is for Amazon vouchers. They can go and stuff themselves now. You have to wait around a month for them to send you a Tesco voucher.

    with the tesco vouchers just say if u wanted 20e worth do you have to order 2 10e ones, as all it says when redeeming is "10e tesco voucher"

    seems a bit daft

    I don't see what your problem is. If you want €20 just ask for 2 x 10. Same for Amazon vouchers and others. Most survey sites do it this way. What's so daft? :confused:

    They probably buy them in units of €10 and then send out as many as required. It makes keeping stock levels easier.
