    Any opinons about Europinions.ie? I made few survey, requested 30€ pay out over month ago but still nothing. Rang them, have been promised that someone will contact me, sent few email, no respond. Just wondering how i can get my earned money.

    I never had any problems with them other than it takes an age to make any worthwhile money.

    Record today, screened out on the first question due to "high volumes" about 90 seconds after the email came through...

    Ordered my 13th and 14th Tesco card since January though, so clearly I'm getting through on enough of them.

    Anyone else have a problem with today's Healthcare survey for 1.50e on IO?
    It's hosted by Ipsos and does not redirect to IO at the end.

    I reclicked on the link in the email and it gave me another quick survey lucky for 75c on Porn.

    I screened out of that one. Sounds a bit more interesting than toothpaste and bottled water though...

    Is your total after tax MONTHLY income

    < 12k

    12k-15k

    -other very specific and very high ranges up to 100k-


    wat.

    Then it asks

    how much of your total monthly income do you spend on services or products under the following brand:
    Tayto

    <20%
    20-40%

    ... etc etc



    yes I spend half my €12k a month on tayto.

    That entire survey was insane.

    To what extent do Taytos help you to:

    > Improve your cashflow

    Eh, what?

    I haven't got past where they ask if teabag companies "treat me with respect" and "have a wide range of products"
    ah lads it's tea...

    and

    Please do not select the same answer per row!

    Maybe I HAVE the same answer per row...

    I had that today but from a different survey company. The % spend was within that category of goods. As in of crisps/snacks do you spend 20% on Tayto. The later stages became so insane that I just abandoned it. An absolutely ridiculous set of questions and much too long. The crowd who sent it to me were paying 85 cent. What was Irish Opinions paying?

    2.50

    Actually you're right they didn't ask as a % of income - they could have made it a bit clearer though

    I hate those ones that ask you to attribute human characteristics to a company. And the ones that you agree or disagree about things lime " they treat their staff fairly" "are a responsible company" - how would I k now I just use their products or services and don't work their or know what's in the minds of the management or owners/

    I have to say that generally IO has gone downhill in the last year? I used to earn 200-300 a year and now it's down to about 60. Most surveys fail to nload or have technical errors.

    What's the problem?? I think if you select 'prefer not to say' you'll get screened out. Not sure though

    Had a survey about ice cream there.

    Based on the time of year, I'm eagerly awaiting incoming surveys about easter eggs, suncream and anything else as illogical for late October!

    That Airtricity one from irishopinions was the most pointless and long winded one ever! Only €1 too.

    I did that one too. But that's how they plan their future campaigns

    Anyone on Red C, screened me out of survey about alcohol after about 10 mins of questions!!!!

    I regularly get redc. They are strict on screening. You just need to tell them what they want. Granted it doesn't always work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I got through that RedC one on alcohol. I'd say I've done 2 Irish Opinion survey in the last few weeks between being screened out and, more often, technical difficulties.

    I don't think I've ever been screened out of a RedC except at the beginning.
    I did get screened out of a IO poll a few weeks ago after nearly completing it. 20 mins it took me! I informed IO but never received a response.

    It's possible the company are researching now for a new product for next season.
