Anyone using iReach, seem very slow in sending out vouchers

iReach is a pain in the ass. Most of the time I can't even get on to their website. I only requested my first voucher from them recently so I've no idea how long it takes but it takes forever to even get to the voucher threshold. Pity because their surveys are sometimes very interesting.

anyone use toluna and are they legit as I read that they did not send the vouchers and if they did that they take months to come

More than 6 months to earn 15 lousy euros and then 8 weeks to receive voucher.

think i am going to unsubscribe from irish opinions, have qualified for 1 survey out of my last 14, even before i entered my age, gender etc, it was good while it lasted.

The longer you leave it to reply the higher chance of getting immediately bounced.

True, sometimes if I click immediately after getting the email I'm told I'm unsuitable, before answering any questions :pac:

Hi

Maybe this should be a new thread but has anyone else received a call from Millward Brown asking them a few questions and then sending out a "booklet" that needs completing and returning for €25?

I've just sent mine back. A word of warning - it was 135 pages long and took 5-6 hours to complete

My mum did that earlier in the year. She nearly lost her life when she saw the size of it, and the level of detail required was a bit much! But for €25 it was just about worth doing

surveyguy

Yeah having since signed up to a few of the online paid survey companies and seeing what the pay it seems €25 is actually pretty good!

Any idea how Millward Brown gets numbers for this?

May not be connected but I've had the occasional survey where at the end ive been asked if I would agree to being contacted again for a further survey. This always required giving my phone number or email address.

The one my mum did, they rang her up and asked would she do it. Not sure how they got her number, I don't think she had done online surveys etc in the past.

Hi

Just received an email from IrishOpinions, instantly clicked the link just to be told "thank you for your interest. Unfortunately we don't have any surveys for you at this time"

This happens with almost all IrishOpinions notifications that I'm sent. Does this happen anyone else? Any idea why?

Thanks

Occasionally, but not so often.

I regularly receive emailed surveys from Irish Options.

I have found that having answered surveys, my account hasn’t been credited with the rewards

Emails addressed to Member Services regarding problems encountered with Irish Options services aren’t answered these days

The options for redeeming rewards are exceedingly limited & have become more so every time I’ve looked

I've actually found their responses have improved in recent months and the resolution of disputes is much better.

The only change in rewards I have noticed is the dropping of Amazon vouchers a good while back. I agree that the choices of rewards is poor however.

Ditto. You no longer get the responses making it out that it was your fault if you get paid out for a mistake, for instance.

More surveys pay instantly, the Pending list is shorter than it ever has been.

Shipping of vouchers is still crap, though.

I'm having no luck with IO surveys the last while either, despite clicking straight away and trying several times afterwards. What email address did you forward your queries to?

Bunnyhopper

I got that €22.50 one from IO as well, and the same error message at the end. No sign of the credit. I've emailed them about it. They've been pretty responsive to complaints in the past, so we shall see… I agree that their reward offerings aren't the best. I'd much prefer cash straight to PayPal or at least restoring the Amazon option. I think when they dropped Amazon they said they'd have some exciting new rewards options very soon, but nothing ever materialized.

Europinions, on the other hand, seem to have gone to pot, for me at least: very few surveys, lots of screening out (particularly after the whole survey's been finished), credit never turning up, slow to respond to queries. That and the fact that they won't pay out on anything less than €30 means I'll probably dump them as soon as I hit that (if I ever do).

IrishOpinions and redc are the same company yeah?

Just did an IrishOpinions survey but when I clicked into it it was a redc template with the branding on top.

No. Entirely different.

RedC will occasionally subcontract surveys out if they can't fill them from their own panels.

I don't think they are the same company, I think RedC and others get IO to host some of their surveys to get more responses. I've sometimes done the same survey for both companies. (Ahem, I mean, no, no I haven't!)

I'd be very careful with cookies and IP addresses doing that... having work and home computers and private browsing helps though

It can be a bit glitchy at times and I have had on occasion to try over a few days.

Looks like it has gone through now, directly to the awards balance, and not 'pending' - but is there any way for me to check this? Can I see a history of my awards balance?
