    Thanks - how did you get back into it? Refreshing the last page, or starting out from the link in the email? I've tried both without success.

    Sorry for late reply I reopened the link from the email. I have ad blocker installed so I disabled that also, not sure if that was the problem though

    Got screened out of a REDC one this morning because I didn't drink enough fizzy drinks. Only fizzy drink I use is small cans of tonic for the g and t occasionally and obviously sparkling wine doesn't count. Lesson: drink more cans:D

    I was screened out when I said I only buy bottles and not cans.

    Got a lovely surprise yesterday when I got home, had been waiting for a lot of vouchers and they all arrived at the same time, I got:

    €25 prepaid credit card for KANTAR door to door survey book, €15 one for all from shop & scan, €20 tesco vouchers from IO, €15 one for all voucher from ireach & €10 boots voucher from opinionworld

    Felt so much nicer that they all come in one go, partner was well impressed, into the Christmas jar they go :-)

    Just wondering but what happens after I get my cheque for red c live surveys? Will my account reset back to 0, or will the extra points carry over. Or can I use the same account again? I'm on the 50 now but if the extra points over 50 carried o

    If you have, say 53 points, at the end of the month you will get your €50 cheque and 3 points carry over in your account and you continue with the same account.

    What happens after I get my cheque from red c live? Will my account be reset to 0? Or will the extra points carry over, and I'll get my next cheque at 100 points? Or will I not be able to get anymore cheques on this account? Just wondering because I'm on 50 points at the moment and I might as well do more surveys this month if they do carry over.

    Thanks

    Edit: apologies! I didn't realise my last comment was actually posted. Sorry about that. Thanks very much for the response srameen though!

    Did anyone here take part in the online forum on Chance games for acumen last week?

    Just wondering when the vouchers are issued for this?

    I did it too, and was wondering the same myself

    So, with IO now offering Debenhams vouchers, I ordered a few of them but then realised you can only use a maximum of two gift vouchers online which isn't great when the gift vouchers are all only €10. Apparently you can use the gift vouchers in store but can anyone tell me if you can only use two at a time in store too?

    Hi, can anyone tell me if there are more surveys pages other than io, redclive, userneeds, toluna, opinionworld, acumen, ireach, shop and scan. Thanks.

    Askmepayme - not much going
    Triaba - even less

    Think I got invited to one called "FS Surveys" but never use it.
    Tesco Shopper Thoughts gives clubcard points, useful if you shop there as there's no payout level - whatever you get goes on at the next mailing even if was only 75 points.

    The more you do, the more duplicate surveys you get and you run the risk of poisoning accounts (as even as its unlikely you'll give identical answers each time as moods vary etc the answers will be too similar). Find it better to focus on a few and also ditch out of duplicate surveys. Some surveys are so common - there's a regular tracker survey on beer and another on spirits hosted on some domain like ktrmr.com - that you should learn them and only do them when offered the most money for them. Have seen that beer one from 80c to over 2 euro!

    I've been doing Irish Opinions for years but found Red C through reading this thread. Twice I've been kicked off surveys for answering the family question wrong ie the numbers. I don't even know why I get the mental block on it, I see the family every day like!!

    Anyone had anything from acumen lately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,477 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Survey that will invite you to Userneeds on rte.ie currently

    I go for Tesco gift cards from IO and was able to use two in the store last time.

    Just tried to claim 1400 points worth of amazon credit from Opinion World. Clicking the 'redeem' button gave me an error message and my rewards history says the claim status is 'failed' but my account balance is now zero, nothing in my emails to confirm whether or not the transaction went through. Has this happened to anyone else by any chance?

    Anyone know does IO Eason's vouchers get paid out as 1 voucher or individual €10's? Says on Easons site that you can only use 1 voucher code per transaction so just checking if I redeem for Easons will it amount to €20 or €10 x2?

    Anyone get the 5euro redc survey on coffee this morning?

    I completed about 60% of it until the URL malfunctioned.....

    I tried to complete it again this afternoon, but alas, no luck.

    It worked ok for me, did it on my phone.

    I got 10 (2 x£5) Amazon vouchers today from Allgifts via Acumen.

    One of them was already redeemed by another account... emailed a complaint...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭RoYoBo


    Anyone else sometimes relieved when they get screened out of a survey right from the start?

    Got offered a 1500 points one from My Survey today to find that it would have taken 3 hours!!! Given that 1500 points just about buys a £10 Amazon voucher, I'm somewhat glad I now have that time to myself :pac:

    That's happened me on a couple of RedC ones in recent months. Look back through the thread and you'll see a tip from someone else about how to get around this. I got screened out of the €5 one though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    Could have been up €9 from RedC today alone but the surveys arrived at a bad time and they have enough of generic people like me :(

    🤪

    1 voucher per €10, so 20 is 2 vouchers. Got caught out with it before

    Ooooh :(

    I got very, very lucky in that I got the €5 and another €4 yesterday (the second one was weird, a load of random questions about insurance, if I drink tea etc). Had one going on my phone and the other on my PC so I wouldn't miss them :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 603 ✭✭✭eoins23456


    Is there an optimum point in the day to see if there is a survey to take in peoples experience ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭Westeros


    In the process of completing that €4 survey from IO and cannot see how far into the survey I am. Painful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭Snow Crash


    I love those GFK surveys on OpinionWorld about what TV programs you watched the previous day. I must of had it about 20+ times now for €1 every time I do it and it only takes a minute to complete.
