I just hope I can log into PayPal then transfer to my bank account

From what they've sent me, probably not - it is a digital card that you can use for any online or phone spending.

For people that want to save the red c money there’s also the option of paying a utility bill with the virtual card and keeping the cash

That's a genius idea

That would also do me.

Could this "Virtual Card" be transfered to someone else(a family member) who could then use it and give me the €50?

Sure, you could just give them the card info

Is could possibly be registered to the original recipient name, which could possibly cause some complications when they go to spend it
Some sites don't like it when the card holder name is different from the person getting the product or service.

Anyone know if you can add the digital RedC payment to your Amazon account? Just missed out on the €50 last month.

I only ever got a cheque once from them and never really used it again. Does it only pay out in 50's or if I had say €68 or something would it pay that amount?

Found both RedC and I very quiet recently. Have had nothing on either for around 10 days.

RED C will pay you €50 on the 29th of the month.Anything left will stay in your account until you reach €50 again.

No problem with that.Could be another option.Just wish I was getting a cheque as usual though.This Covid 19 is a nuisance.

I used this before as well, and I did I think 3 surveys and never got to the €10. A load of those are just scams, so I don't bother with those services anymore.

If you want some solid companies to make money from then just ask here but labelling them as scams is a bit of a reach
Red c pay me about €250 a year, Acumen €30 a month at the moment and there are many more

What sites in particular are you referring to? Most sites are legit if you give truthful answers and read the questions before answering.

Surely you can top your PayPal balance with the virtual MasterCard Red C are going to give out, that’s what I’m hoping to do and then transfer to bank account.

Why not transfer it straight to your bank or Revolut using the Iban ?
Can’t see why that won’t work

If they're still using perx card, it's not an option to transfer directly (top up or transfer). It's only available to spend online, there is no transfer facility except using the PayPal workaround

Also: don't know if it's true for everyone, but I was only able to top up PayPal via a bank account, hence having to get it sent to someone to send it back

Just looking there, paying from PayPal though Xoom seems to be an option now too and the fee is low (99c). That should cover a lot of people looking to transfer to a bank account (just remember to factor in the fee when making the payment because if the transaction is over 50 euro it will fail).

Another survey from IO which asks what Northern Irish county you live in then screens you out when you choose 'outside of NI'.

3rd one of these I've had from IO recently.

Did a small survey on Life Points an hour ago and at the end got the "completed survey and earned 40pts" emblem.Grand.Checked my other e mail and I had two RED C surveys available,two handy ones for €1 &€2.They were from one of their partners and I was screened out of both of them.But at the end of the screening out process the same Life Points screen for the 40pts survey I had completed popped up twice.They must be linked.Sorry I did the Life Points survey now.

I emailed them about it the first time a few months ago. They said it had been pulled and if fixed would appear again. It appeared a second time so emailed them again and they just credited me with the reward.

Triaba are giving quite a few surveys of late.And you can cash out when you get to €5.Irish Opinions are another site you could check out.

cheers for the tip. I wouldn't have contacted them only that you advised me to.
