Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

Yep I had that dating one a few days ago.... didn't send anything in because I had deleted the email so didn't have the survey number! Do you have the number by any chance and I'll send them an email about it too. They can't ignore it if we all email about it!

No survey number on the email to me. Wouldn't you have the email in your trash folder or deleted items?

IO has dried up to near nothing for me which is odd. Other survey sites are supplying at their normal paces.

Same here.

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

Survey topic:

Miscellaneous

Reward for qualification and completion:




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.

Got a .75c credit for this yesterday.

Fantastic OpinionWorld survey there which is clearly transnational but had translated the names of political parties here to English, presumably as part of the translation process of the questions. So I had to say I wasn't voting for We Ourselves or the Family of the Irish...

Brilliant - a screenshot of this would get wide attention...

I'm getting plenty sent to me but I'm getting screened out etc straight away. I'd say I've only completed one out of the last 6 sent.

I got the first RedC I've had for a couple of weeks today, but got stuck on a drag-and-drop question about kids juices. There was no dragging or dropping happening no matter what I did.

See attached photo.

Is this happening for anyone else?

Yeah I must be in some demographic that's oversubscribed. Reached €50 on RedC last week though, and look forward to a cheque soon. I'm already €5 into my next one.

I gave up on them because I was getting messages that said they had reached their target sample within 15 minutes of the email. So I unsubscribed.

Last few IO - there's only been a few - have worked fine. Screening out all over the shop on Acumen though.

Worked ok for me. Maybe it was your browser?

One mid-length political survey and another with a few political questions thrown in in the middle of a general survey this morning so far. Election related ones are definitely starting to come in now

Odd one off Acumen there. Survey was hosted on Toluna and used the mental Brainjuicer woman; and the amount paid was higher than the email said (not by much).

Acumens survey engine was nice, particularly the auto forwarding when you selected an answer and it remembering your vital details - hope they don't move.

One survey or more off everyone, although Toluna gets ignored. No screenouts that didn't lead me to another survey either.

Similar situation here. I'm getting screened out immediately upon clicking the link with the message "Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, we don’t have any available surveys for you at this time. Please try again later.". This was happening with every survey I was getting recently, to the point where I was going to email them thinking there was a problem, but I have been able to at least begin some surveys and complete a couple over the last week.

I understand getting screened out for not fitting the demographics etc. or that they have reached their quota but this is happening almost all the time now. I just tried one sent 46 minutes ago and got the same message.

Something funny going on today - getting filtered out, and then below the 'we have already reached our target' message, there is a multi-lingual 'website not working' message.

Thank you for your interest. We have reached our target number of participants and the survey is now closed.]

Yes got that twice today

L1011

Got it as well. Tried the survey again later and it bounced then too, so I can't tell if it was just a problem with display or what.

RainyDay

Today's media survey was fun, with Likert-style questions with two 'Definitely disagree' columns and no 'definitely agree' column - kinda sloppy.

L1011

What was obviously a recurrent Sky tracker survey I got every few months is now hosted on "surveys.bskyb.com"

I know they don't outsource much other than the installers (still have their own support staff etc) but having their own survey engine is a bit strange!

Its obviously a UK based survey just changed for Ireland as it asks for your broadband speed and won't accept either of the two speeds UPC offer as they're "too large".

Anyone here do the tns postal survey panel? Joined a few weeks ago, and recording post received but no mention of what the rewards are.

I'm doing one for UNEX I think they are called.

They supply prepaid envelopes in advance and you go online to record each time you get a package. You return the item mailed using the prepaid envelope.

Dunnes Stores vouchers are the rewards for these.

I'm not sure if this is the same.

Thats the one! How often do you get vouchers?

Mountjoy Mugger

I only joined in October. Got €15 in vouchers in Jan, so every three months I reckon.

This looks really cool - but do other people (i.e. other survey panelists) have access to your address if you're a sender/receiver? ..... or do you just get a letter from UNEX directly to return to UNEX??

(Just worried about confidentiality )
