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

    They email with invitations to take part. It can take a few months to really get going.

    Recently signed up to IO. Over the last 48 hours I've gotten 3/4 mails alerting me to a survey however when I click the link it says its not available. This would often be within 10-15 mins of receiving the alert.

    Am I doing something wrong? I did manage to get one completed after I copied the link and pasted it into the browser while on mobile.

    does anyone here use vivatic? there are usually 3 survey companies on it toluna, redc both of which never have surveys on it, and some other suvey company, that is the one with surveys, im stuck on 9 euro, you need 10 to cash out, but all that is on it now is toluna. it was never a great site but just a pity i didn't get to the ten euro and leave them.

    Over the last week I've been instantly screened out of I'd say at least 7, launching it as soon as email arrives.

    Had another error on completion yesterday for a Sky/Aer Lingus survey too.

    Signed with Red C since may last year. Received 2 * €50 cheques so far

    . December was actually the busiest month for me so far especially the first 2 weeks of the month. I was getting about 3 surverys a week. €18 in hand all from December. Screened from maybe another 4 surveys in December. Only one survey this month. Not got around to signing with Accumen or Irish Opinions yet.

    Have done so but was hoping others had too as they're more likely to take notice of more than one email. :)

    Still having issues with almost every email I get from IO. I open or paste the link and it tells me we have no new surveys at this time.

    I've emailed them about it but have yet to hear back. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

    Since Christmas most surveys sent to me have been unavailable/filled or my profile has been unsuitable.
    I've maybe completed only 3 or 4 out of at least 10 sent to me.

    Companies are regrouping after Christmas, no big pushes on for anything (any sales on now have already been researched). November/December are usually so busy it makes it seem even deader

    Expect to start seeing political policy based surveys (hidden as 'lifestyle' or 'misc') in the next few weeks!

    I got one the other day actually, it was one of those complete mixed bag multiple topic ones. I think the questions were all basically 'would you vote for someone who would support repealing the 8th amendment', I can't remember exactly as it was only a few questions.

    Take a stab in the dark at Renua trying to find target constituencies for advertising/Lucinda appearances/etc.

    Surreal human-detecting (I guess) question on Acumen there. Asking what I did at the weekend and one of the options was "visited Clonrichert". As in "the holy stone of" in Father Ted.

    Anyone else get this one about dating websites and other social media?

    Survey topic:

    Miscellaneous

    Reward for qualification and completion:
    €0.75

    Survey length:

    10 minutes

    Available until:

    2016-02-01, or until we reach our target number of completed interviews.


    Got to 90-something% complete, and then got the 'you don't meet our required criteria' message - very annoying - have emailed them, but have never got a good response to one of these issues in the past, unlike some here.

    It started out with a page something like "This is a page to get a unique link that the user won't see" with a spelling error thrown in - never a good sign. Then when I got to 90-something% complete, and then got the 'you don't meet our required criteria' message - very annoying - have emailed them, but have never got a good response to one of these issues in the past, unlike some here.
