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.

You got me thinking and curious.

Quick tot on mine gives me just over €700 from all surveys.

Fully funded my books, fishing gear, phone top ups and perfume for Mrs S during the year and more. Still a decent balance on the Paypal and Amazon accounts. Happy days.

My tally for 2015 is:

IO: €200
Acumen: €90
RedC: €50
OpinionWorld: €45
Ideas Panel: €40
Toluna: €40
SpongeIt: €10
MySurvey: €10 (Never using it again!)

I'm pretty much depending on these vouchers to tide me over so I'm happy with my haul for the year!

Received two IO tesco vouchers that were requested on 27/11 today.

Requested another two today after that big one was credited yesterday, making it €120 since August. Not too shabby.

My late November/early December IO Tesco vouchers landed on the mat this morning (and damn near gave me a heart attack, as I was drifting back asleep after a phone-resolvable call from work). These weren't ordered for Christmas but it shows that if you do save vouchers towards the end of the year you need to get them in damn early.

Roughly I fared as follows I 2015

IO = 100 EURO 9 pending
AskmePayme = 39.20 Euro
Mobeg = 10 Euro ( would propably earned more only never copped emails were going to junk mail)
Swagbugs = 68.39
Shopperthought (Tesco) = 875pts
Ideas Panels = 40 Euro 8.40 pending
Ireach = 15 Euro 9 euro pending

So I guess that pays for flights and hotel for a weekend break in Europe this year

I finally got my Tesco vouchers last Thursday though they were dated about 3 weeks apart!?

Date of order is printed on the letter regardless of when they post them out.

do you mean swagbucks? have heard about them before, are they an american or UK company? 68.39 is a nice return.

IO - €100.
RedC - almost at the €50 mark, just joined in September.
Acumen - €20, with 191 points to my next €10, also joined in September.
Swagbucks - €25

€195 altogether. Not too bad. IO really took off for me in the last few months.
All has been quiet since Christmas. Just wondering how everyone else is getting on? Any surveys recently?

Had one for IO yesterday for vodafone, I am certain I finished the entire bloody survey and then was told "you do not suit the demographic" ffs :mad:

How long did you spend doing surveys to take that in?

Very hard to quantify. Hour a day max, many days there's no surveys.

My job involves a lot of staring at stuff while it does something (updates, compiles, run testing, etc) so a lot of it is done while at work and actually working.

I look at it as no time at all. I do them while watching TV and the likes. A spare few minutes now and again. It's certainly no chore most of the time.

I'm signed up to RedC, Acumen, and IO. I used to do them more often but not as much now with college. When I do do them, I usually do RedC and Acumen as they pay the best. I did get a €50 cheque from RedC a while ago but I don't think I'll be doing many more just because I don't have the time which is a pity.

Corholio

Read the last few pages of here having occasionally read the posts. Apologies if these questions have been asked before by a survey noob, like me

1) I see RedC and Acumen being mentioned often. Would they be the best to go with?
2) I have a reasonable amount of time where I can do these, is there an average payment per minute/survey that people would guess it works out as?
3) I see vouchers being mentioned a lot too, is payment in voucher form or online payment (Paypal etc)?

Thanks to anyone taking the time to read the questions!

To be honest, there is no norm. Sometimes I get more per year from Irish Opinions than others. RedC can be slow while IO are regular. You can't look at it as an amount per minute.
Some give amazon, tesco or boots vouchers and other pay via paypal.

Got 1 on 6th Jan - previous completed one before that was 1st Dec. Got a few in Dec but didn't qualify - just €4 away from a cheque, so looking forward to the next one soon.

I got a RedC one yesterday but I was screened out of it.

L1011

Had two recently. It's a quiet time of year for all survey firms though.

Got a 4 euro one this week.

I screened out of a RedC one yesterday. Have had 2 IO since Christmas and screened out of an Acumen one a few days ago, think I had an OpinionWorld invite too but not 100% sure.
Just checked my inbox and I've another IO to complete, an Acumen and an iReach, and another OpinionWorld. Something to do while watching rubbish telly.

Signed up for REDC tonight. Cannot see any way of completing surveys on their site....Am I missing something?
