Idid..sure may as well have a shot at it..

On a plus note, I've been on a dry spell for surveys like many but the floodgates opened today..
I got two 4 euro ones from RED C which brought me to over the 50 euro. I did the second one like I was taking a state exam! Afraid I would make a stupid mistake:D

I also got two 4 euro surveys from RedC today also. They've been good to me this year. My 3rd cheque is due next week and I'm already nearly half way to my next. Hopefully before Xmas.

Just looking at my IO account. I think its dropped off a bit. Only about 10 or 12 Euro a month. I'm sure it used to be more.

I also got the REDC survey Today. I started in late August and my first check should be on the way. Currently on €31. I'd love to get the next one for Christmas.

€19 in two and a bit weeks is optimistic although not impossible; this is always by far the busiest time for surveys. Any earned cheque won't arrive that much in advance of Christmas either!

Hi!
I just got my first Easons gift code of Irish Opinions and at the checkout it's says it's invalid!
Have you to wait a period of time before I can use it?

I just got halfway through a RED C survey for €4 and screened out. The survey was on different kinds of sponsorship, for charities, events, venues, etc. RED C surveys haven't screened me out ten minutes in before...

This gift card does not contain a sufficient balance

That happens when I try to use a code.

I understand it should deduct the €10 and then let you pay the rest by card?

It still won't work for me.
Anybody know of any issue I might be having?
Thanks in advance!

Just done a strange survey on Irish Opinions (worth 3.50 ). It was all about beverages: the time of time, the type of drink, the type of container, the size of it, where you were when you drank it, what you were doing, who you were with and how much of it you drank. It then finished up with panel of brands such as Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and Schweppes and if you had had one of them or more to chose how often you partook. I got it by going directly to the IO website.

I got this during the week. I thought it was never going to end!

It was far too long.

I got one for a Euro today for Irish opinions and I was on it for ages and then all of a sudden the page went gobblety gook( very technical of me), tried to log back in to and the company wouldn't let me but it's still in my list on Irish opinions.

I had the same experience with a 75c one last week. The survey froze part of the way through. I reported this and IO suggested it might have been caused by my browser. They credited me anyway.

Has anybody got the email about the ideas panel fridge survey yet?

freshpopcorn

Can somebody please explain to me how to use an e-gift card for Easons?
For some reason they will only allow me to purchase a book for under €10 even when I put in my card details to pay for additional amount.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe email easons?

I got one this evening that started off being about the AA insurance and went on to surveying what shops I used. It was really long and definitely not worth a euro.

Careful_now!

I just got the follow up email about what's in your fridge.

They want 3 30 second videos on ketchup. I can't see how to submit the videos when I'm done.
Do they submit automatically?
I can only find the ketchup catagory. I thought there was going to be more

Yep I got paid there last month. Took me forever to get to the €30 payout and then it takes about 5 weeks to receive it into PayPal account. Note that when you request it all you can see is "Europinions Payment" (or at least that's what I saw).

I am only 1.50 away from 30 but its taken me a long time to get there.

freshpopcorn

I also qualified for the fridge survey made sure not to rat the items they mentioned and heard nothing back from them!

i rang easons about the e vouchers not working two weeks ago, they told me they would be working in a few days, rang them again last week, was told they wont be working again for a few weeks, bad form.

I swear it's like it's on purpose, you get so far then the surveys tend to be few and far between. I don't get invites off them as often as say, Irish Opinions or even any of the other Cint panels, but by God did they make me wait for the last €0.20 so I could cashout. Bloomin' typical but you'll get there!

No, havent heard anything from them since then!

I've got an e-mail from them with instructions to download an app so I'll be able to record the videos for them but apparently android in my phone ( Samsung Galaxy S3) is too old for that app as it said my device is incompatible

L1011

An S3 is too old for most apps and also extremely insecure by now; don't bank/shop on it if you can at all avoid it. Think Trump still uses one for his tweeting though!
