    One on banking this morning wanted to know how many transactions, for each of 10 types, I made in the last 3 months. I wouldn't have a clue! And then the same detail for Jan to Mar 2014! What the? How would I know how many ATM, online etc transactions I made up to 15 months ago? For 75 cent! Good luck getting credible data from that survey.

    Since when have we had to provide credible data for surveys?;)

    2nd RedCLive survey to crash on me this week. Is it just me?
    Server Error in '/RelevantIDROI' Application.

    Runtime Error

    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    Had an IO survey that screened out after approx 30 screens, one of the Sky tracking ones (can tell from their graphic design easily)

    Hit 5000 on Acumen, so that's Good Friday sorted if it arrives in time.

    Anyone else get that opinion world survey where the first page is HTML text and you can't move forward until you answer the questions, even though it's impossible? I'm not sure if it's my computer or their survey.

    Yeah, I've had three of those now. I tried one of them in three different browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome) and got the same page of code.

    I emailed them a few days ago about it. Never got a response. I've gotten three different surveys - all with the same issue.

    Same. I emailed them about it the first time I got it, and again this morning when they resent it.

    Has anyone got the banking survey where over half way through you are required to view a commercial that is downloaded?

    Have taken it twice and neither time has the download worked.i have fibre broadband so the problem isn't my end.Very annoying to have done 15 minutes of answers twice and have to close the survey :mad:

    Survey invite for 3.50 there, entered rather a lot of questions (not 3.50 by IO standards though - maybe Acumen or RedC); got a post-survey satisfaction page - all the usual "how fast did it load?" "was it easy to answer?" questions - then sent to an IO screenout page.

    Fantastic...

    Registered for Toluna there just for the hell of it, will push those surveys to last in the list for when I've nothing else happening.

    However, the supermarket list in the profile appears to have been lifted from 1985:

    "Dunnes
    Joyces 365
    H Williams
    Quinnsworth
    Superquinn
    Supervalu
    Tesco"

    No Germans and in the case of H Williams there's a bit of a problem there that's even worse than Quinnsworth and Superquinn!

    Unregister now.

    Been with them for 1.5 years. 15 euro earned. Just one survey away from my second 15. Been like this for weeks. As soon as I get it, i'm gone.
    Not worth the effort.

    Agreed.They are the only surveys I unregistered with. A waste of time and effort.

    I may need to emphasise just how quiet my working day is.

    I suffered Toluna when it was only prize draws and gave up due to a previous more tasking job, I'll do it when I've time at best...

    Think I've set a new record for quickest over-quota. Phone buzzed, clicked email, entered my age and was over-quota.

    Clearly they needed one person my age and they were about a tenth of a second quicker. Email still had "0 minutes ago" when I went back to it!

    That happens me about twice a month.

    Still waiting for mine which was requested on March 30th.

    They seem very slow on processing the surveys and updating your balance too.

    What are the best survey websites people use?

    Red C, IO?


    Is Red C the best for straight out cash payments? Is there any others to be recommended?

    RedC are best for cash. Acumen pay very fairly (in vouchers) but are not the most common.

    Any Cint based site lets you cash out quickly, from €4 usually - AskMePayMe and Triaba use Cint - but the return rate isn't great

    If I get multiple surveys through I'd usually work RedC -> Acumen -> IO -> others in order of doing them, due to the return rates.
