    I joined Irish opinions in January 2010, I am currently waiting for my SIXTH voucher. I get offered a survey at least once a week and do it (if I meet the criteria) as soon as I see it, takes about 20 minutes out of my week. Can't see the scam myself

    It's a scam when they refuse to pay out. Leaving people waiting months to be paid is not on.

    I get emails from them almost daily, I've given up filling them out as they bore me.

    very true, although I try and let them build up to about 50 in rewards and take them all then. I currently have 15 pending and 20 paid out.

    I like the site. Currently 33 euro with a tenner pending!

    At the start they never sent out but when you fill your profile in it helps!

    I'm happier cashing in every time it goes to 10 euro.

    There are so many businesses going to the wall these days. It's a bit like holding vouchers for high street shops. Your credits could become worthless with no warning.

    It's nothing against Irish Opinions, hopefully they are doing well. But I don't want to be left with 40 euro odd in vouchers which I could have claimed but didn't if they were to close in the morning.

    At the moment they are not giving out amazon vouchers. To me that is no good as the other types of voucher are of no use to me.

    I was given the option to claim an Amazon voucher.

    I've switched to getting Tesco vouchers, though. They arrive quickly and they're handy for grocery shopping. I realized that when I got the Amazon vouchers, I'd still end up paying lots for delivery costs.

    If I get two seperate amazon vouchers of £9 each, would I be able to combine both of them on amazon to buy one product? Or am I better letting it build up and a ~£20 voucher?

    You receive a voucher number that you enter just before you click purchase. You can enter as many as you like, so you can get the vouchers separately if you want and still use them on one transaction.

    I did that one too and I haven't got the bonus €5 yet. Also I had a €2.50 survey credit pending and €13 in the other part and the pending disappeared and never got sent to the other amount. Not really impressed anymore.

    In fairness to them I did get the €5 bonus on the newspapers.

    What has annoyed me lately is it is taking longer and longer to get credited for completing the surveys. Also they are obsessed with sending the same booze related surveys the whole time. Listing brands of stout, ales and lager is getting boring now.

    I have €60 built up over the last 12 months, when I had the time I did them when I didnt, I ignored the surveys..

    I planned on using the vouchers for an Amazon Kindle, but the codes for the vouchers they give you only work on amazon.co.uk site. However they don't the kindle from that site to Ireland, you have to go to Amazon.com for that.. so not very happy to say the least :mad:

    Anyone know anyway around this?

    Order it form the UK site and have it sent to a friend who then sends it on to you. There is some place in the north that will resend a package to you for €25.

    No other way around it. I am saving for the Kindle also and will be using a UK friend to get it for me.

    I am getting sick of them sending me the same alcohol surveys the whole time. It should be called Irish Alcohol Opinions.

    I'll do the same surveys over and over again if it's for few minutes a few evenings aweek. I've just got a €20 tesco voucher and I'm nearly back up to €10 credit again already. I seem to get bout €10 a month from the surveys and let's face it, it's not exactly hard work now!

    dya know what, I take it back. I've just opened another survey and it's about alcohol! I'm not even a big drinker and you'd imagine they'd have more pressing matters to be surveying these days!

    No they aren't.

    If you read the thread you'll see a ton of people who have gotten their vouchers.
