Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

Yep, that's the one. The questions are ridiculous, repetitive and a waste of time. Also when you say no I don't want to continue with more brands it just takes you back to the page to continue!

After about 25 minutes I said no and it said okay thanks for your time and I got paid, I couldn’t take anymore of the tedious sh7te questions

There's a €2.50 35min survey on IO this morning. Avoid it. Absolute crap. I'm 35 mins in and still have 7 brands to evaluate. I've done 2 so far and have answered hundreds of questions.

Closing it and contacting IO. Pathetic.

I avoid those long ones from IO myself as I find that go on for much longer than the stated time.

Got a €4 survey from RED C today (first in a week) about smart phones (again from a partner) for 20 mns.Took about 50 mns to complete.Why do the surveys not adhere to the stated time?

I finished that survey in 15 minutes yesterday, depends on the profile and what you use the phone for I guess

€5 survey in the bag today + completed another €4 survey last Friday for Red C. Still waiting on the points for the €4 survey though, I sent them an email earlier.

Partner surveys through red c can take up to a week to pay out

I don't like seeing these €5 surveys from RED C in my e mail.I almost always get screened out after answering several qualifying questions.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated! Just got another €5 survey. That's mad, €10 in one day.

Did that €2.50 survey from IO today about evaluating certain companies just get it off my dashboard.Was to take 35 mns,it did but after the first brand(which took around the 35 mns) I had about seven more brands to do.Just logged out.It would have taken me hours to finish.How can they say 35mns when it's going to take much longer than that?

You don’t have to compete all the brands, I did 4 of them in half an hour and the option cake up to continue or not and got paid straight away

Impossible to do four in half an hour, at least the survey I attempted.

Have any of ye tried completing offers on swagbuck? Seems to be the fastest way to clock up points, but you'd need to be savvy to make sure you don't end up actually spending money in the meantime. It seems like a total scam though tbh. Would be interested to hear about someone else's exeperience with them?

Be v careful of the offers as payout seems to be hit and miss. Just stick to their survays

I received a virtual master card for 50 euros from red c, would have preferred actual card but no option to wait to get one.

only other option was to wait for a cheque, virtual card is great in my opinion.
i added it to paypal and sent it to another account as a friends and family payment and they sent it back and once it was in my balance i could transfer it to any bank account i wanted

They are not sending cheques at the moment due to covid, I dont have paypal so not an option.

You could wait until they send cheques again, leave it build up, ive €150 in the kitty waiting not to pushed happy to wait.

I emailed them to complain about it as saying I didn't want to continue wouldn't work for me. Still haven't heard anything back from them.

You're as well off it didn't work for you.You would be hours doing it.It's better it's gone from your dash board.

I did that today. 3 brands in 45 min before it gave the option to quit. If the brands are in the same order for everyone they'll get no data on the later ones. It could have been made much faster if they removed the irrelevant questions. Would YOU like to get beauty advice or recipes from IR or a certain utility co? :rolleyes:

Pulled out of that myself after two brands. What really pissed me off was that it was telling me it was 50 75 90% completed and then it started all over again.
