    OK, well as I've said before I've had issues with them. Not going down that road again - just gonna forget about doing surveys with them. It's all very fine and well saying phone and/or email them - I've done that, but the results are as I've already stated. Also, what's with the "thank you for your interest in this survey" nonsense with them - it's just another way of saying 'you've been thrown out' IMO!!!

    Tara2201, nobody else here, including me, seems to be having the issues you are experiencing.
    There must be something unique to you that's causing this. Whether that's inconsistencies in your answers or a conflict between your profile and your answers, nobody can answer that here.
    I can assure you that they are not a scam as you have accused them of being.

    I'm really liking 'ask me pay me' lately - get a fair few off them recently. Individually, they're only worth tuppence, but it all adds up eventually :)

    I haven't tried them - I'll sign up.

    I got €10 Tesco voucher from IO today, giving me a total of €40 from them,.€30 allgifts.ie voucher from Acumen. I have €20 with RedC (slowest earner) and 640 points away from €20 with Ideas Panel (very slow earner)

    Another survey panel.

    They have an app also, if people find it easier using a tablet (I have not tried the app on a phone, so unsure of compatibility).

    I get a tenner every couple of months from it - I go for a boots voucher. You are never going to make serious money out of it! To be honest I love surveys and would be doing them for free - the more the merrier. I get emailed several per day. You typically have to click into the survey very shortly after getting the email though, or you get a notice that it is closed due to having reached the maximum number of participants.

    I've had the same problem with them with one particular survey which I get every so often. Refuse to do that one now because I always got told it was because my answers were inconsistent. I emailed them about it and they told me it was because I had "rushed" through the survey..... Next time I did that survey I went slowly, and it still said it was inconsistent. Emailed them again and got a BS excuse for it. I was extremely careful filling in that survey the second time around but anyway..... It's only that particular survey that causes me trouble but it does happen

    Just checked the shopandscan rewards catalogue and it appears they're no longer offering Amazon rewards :(

    At least I think they used to carry Amazon rewards.... Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I was hoping to cash out soon for one, oh well :/

    They did, at a very good exchange rate - think it was 1100 for a tenner sterling on amazon. Amazon must not be offering as good bulk deals anymore if every site is dropping them.

    Definitely gone - the graphics on the website showing options is outdated as hell because it has Waterstones, Marriott Hotels, Screenclick (gone bust) and Dixons (just gone) on it.

    One4All at 1620 for 1500 is the most flexible thing left now.

    Ah that's a shame - I find amazon the handiest as I can load it onto my account for when I need something.

    Yep, looks like One4All is the way to go

    Well, I have checked and double checked my profile, and all the info is 100% accurate. here are NO inconsistencies in my answers as I am always honest, therefore cannot be caught in a lie! On 1 occassion, I think I may have accidentally hit a wrong answer inadvertently, and was kicked out (ok, fair enough), but was extra extra careful after that but am still getting the same nonsense. Also, where a company refuses to answer emails, and hangs up the phone when contacted to query what has been going on, then I think I am quite entitled to call it a scam!! As for other people's experiences on here, I cannot and do not speak for anybody except myself.

    IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF KICKING YOU OUT OF THE SURVEY ONCE THEY HAVE THE INFO/DATA THEY NEED, AND AVOID CREDITING YOU WHATEVER PAYMENT WAS PROMISED!!

    I know shop and scan is slow apart from bonuses etc but what would you be talking on average?

    Would you make €10 per month?

    About that. The monthly rate depends on when you got accepted - I get 6. There's usually 36 a year in bonus payments - birthday, anniversary of signup and Christmas I think and maybe another 10-15 in surveys. The surveys pay very, very well for the time and you can't screen out.

    You may get specific surveys due to buying items but you'll never know this in advance. It'd distort the stats if they told people

    Hotel vouchers, Woodies, One 4 All, Brown Thomas, Book vouchers, Argos, Currys, Debanhams, Halfords, New Look, Boots and Arcadia

    They usually have Amazon vouchers too, which is missing atm but will apparently be available again in a few days

    Plus the option to donate to various charities instead

    Most things are at point = cent; but one4all have a processing charge so its 1620 points for €15 and Amazon vouchers have for ages been 1100 points for £10 Sterling which is currently a saving of ~50 points but has been much much better in the past - up to €12.50 of value for 1100 points. They may not keep this when they're back, though.

    Tried opening the Michael Conlan full fight video that was posted by RTE today on Facebook. It opened and a pop up from 'Userneeds' appeared. Answer a 2 minute survey in relation to your opinion on their website to be in with a chance to win a gift card.
    Anyways, filled it in and joined Userneeds. Seems to be a survey site allowing you to accumulate gift cards via AllGifts.ie or enter into quarterly draws to win money, prizes etc.
    Anyone on this?

    any idea who sends an email with a voucher to redeem your points, think that I got an email last week and I deleted it by accident.

    Userneeds are useless. You need too many points to cash out. Also, there scratch card thing is a scam, never won anything on it (you can choose to take a scratch card or save your points after the end of surveys).

    I have never got close to cashing out with them.

    You can cash out at a tenner. Surveys are rare enough and not the best payers but as its also Allgifts it can be handy if Acumen is also slow on surveys

    Might just be a fluke but my partner signed up at same time as me, we got (i think) 80 points for signing up/starting... I saved my points and he got scratchcard and won 20euro worth of points.
    But might be a complete fluke as I know these things don't normally work like that
