    I'm wondering has anyone actually won anything on the scratch cards that Userneeds try to get you to trade your points in for?

    How long do amounts stay in pending on Irish Opinions? What's the purpose of the pending section? I've 6 items in there now

    It can be 4 to 6 weeks. They say it's pending until the survey, in all it's forms, is complete. It's erratic though. Sometimes I have had €30+ pending and €2 at other times.

    Has anyone received vouchers they've ordered from Irish Opinions recently? I ordered a Tesco one on 17/11, not arrived yet, ordered a Boots one on 27/11 which arrived last week. Have emailed them twice but had no reply. Worried that some thieving postal worker has cottoned on to the Tesco vouchers (seen as they're plastic and can be felt through envelope) and is swiping them. I really wish they'd bring back Amazon e-vouchers. :(

    Ordered Boots vouchers 5th December and they arrived last week.

    I too wish they'd bring back Amazon as I have no real need for the other suppliers.

    Askmepayme are slow. €3 in the past 2 months, but at least you can redeem at €4.

    it possibily has been said before but RedC give you more for your time, but you have to wait to earn 50 points before getting 50€. approx 1€ per each 5 minutes. Irish opinions is usually less for me anyway

    I ordered two Tesco vouchers from IO on 17/11 and 20/11 and neither have arrived yet, I figured it was just slow Christmas post but it wouldn't surprise me if<NSIP>.

    Pretty annoying.

    That's a ridiculous slur against An Post. Have you asked IO?

    You can tell by the date on the letter that comes with them that they generally aren't posted until a week after requesting, add to that snailmail coming from the UK, and the christmas rush - they'll arrive but will just take some time.

    I have emailed IO but twice but have had no reply. Also, wouldn't be the first time I've had things stolen from envelopes before it got to me.

    You have no proof they were stolen. All you can say with certainty, is that items have gone missing from envelopes.

    True, but the envelopes were slit open at the end, it's not like the sender forgot to stick them closed. Anyway, yes. the items weren't in the envelope when I received them.
    But perhaps my Tesco voucher will arrive today, I don't think I will be ordering more though, I will stick to Boots vouchers which aren't as easily felt through the envelopes.

    Received this email today....

    "Dear Irish Opinions member,
    thank you for your email.

    Unfortunately the voucher you requested on 17/11/15 was temporarily out of stock.

    We restocked recently and we send out the voucher you ordered. Please allow others 4-6 weeks for delivery.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."


    I thought it used to be 28 days that the vouchers were supposed to arrive within? Perhaps they changed it.

    Time of year for my "income" summary for 2015, seeing as I suspect I've done the last survey of the year.

    IrishOpinions - €190 and €11 awaiting/pending
    Shop&Scan - €150, will be about €30 awaiting when the Christmas bonus and a survey a few weeks ago hit
    RedC - €150, €12 awaiting
    Acumen - €110 cashed out and €12 awaiting
    Opinionworld - €40 and about a fiver awaiting
    AskMePayMe + Triaba (its too hard to figure out which from Paypal) - €41.84 and about a fiver awaiting
    Toluna - €15 and I don't give a damn what's pending as I'm never using it again
    Tesco Opinions - 550 clubcard points

    Now, about €50 of that was pending at the end of December 14 but its still a decent haul.

    I've had €140 from IO this year and €150 from RedC with €14 pending. €60 and a few quid pending from Opinionworld, and around the same from Acumen. I'm sure I'm registered with another crowd that I got €90 from earlier in the year but can't find any trace of them now, must have another look through my emails and see what the story is!
