    I have had more surveys from IO this month than for Nov and Dec combined. Great earnings so far for January.

    I'm the opposite, got loads off IO in December and now hardly anything.

    Had few myself, a lot of them that require far too many questions before screening you out. :mad:

    I have had a few and didn't screen out of most. No Easons vouchers available at the moment so I am holding off to build my balance.

    I have gotten 9 since Monday- and got rejected from all of them once I put in my age... they don't think 21yr olds have an opinion! gggrrrrr!

    They don't like 29 year olds either, apparently! I've screened out of about 15 in the last week (managed to complete 4, including one that supposedly took 15 minutes but actually took over 40, grr!)

    It doesn't affect all videos but i've needed to disable it on 2 occasions. You shouldnt need to exit the survey to do this

    I mentioned this in the comment box at the end of one survey.

    And the 'supermarket' one that I did qualify for got stuck on a 'drag-and-drop' question that did no dragging or dropping.

    They have had a lot of drag and drop recently that don't work with a touch screen tablet. Very frustrating to go so far and have to abandon a survey.

    Yeah that's happened to me a couple of times. I did email them about it once and they replied saying that their records didn't show me completing the survey but they'd pass it on to a manager or something anyway - I never heard back from them about it nor did I get credited from what I can remember.

    Just spent 20 minutes doing an Irish Opinions survey on supermarkets only to be told: "Thank you for your interest. We have reached our target number of participants and the survey is now closed. " WTF?? Have emailed them about it.

    Ditto. Survey claimed it'd take 13mins but there was a good 7 of TV ads in it - either 5 or 6 ads in total; not a hope of taking 13mins end to end.

    It'll take days, and 80% of the time it'll be a PFO.

    Ok, I just spend 20 mins + doing a tedious 'Miscellaneous' survey for 1.50. At the end of the survey I got a message, don't remember exactly what it said but something about 'data inconsistencies' etc. So frustrating. I still haven't received a reply back about the other survey. Seriously about to give up on IO!!!

    The "data inconsistencies" message seems to be another way of saying "this survey is full but we don't want to admit we sent out far too many invites". It only ever really comes off one host.

    Just got a reply to my first email
    Dear Irish Opinions member,
    thank you for your email.

    Our records indicate that you were stopped from completing the survey because we had reached the desired number of respondents for your particular profile.
    I understand that this might be disappointing but the system closes the survey automatically once the desired number of respondents has been reached.

    Anyway, we will reward you for the time you spent on this survey by rewarding your account with 1€ in the next 24 hours.

    Please note that we will not pass on any of the information you have given to us in the course of uncompleted surveys to our clients. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

    We will be in touch again shortly with more opportunities to earn rewards.

    Kind regards
    Isabel
    The Irish Opinions Team

    I got 2 surveys in the last 90 mins. Got chucked out of both before I could even start them. Bloody frustrating.

    wat

    I usually rely with "stupid question", for stuff like that .

    I had a lot of surveys this week and completed 17.50 worth, so happy days.
