    Was it a third party survey? Load of UK operators think Eircode is like a UK postcode that doesn't actually locate your house exactly.

    No,it was a RED C ordinary survey.

    Seems like problem with Cint/Pay Pal not sorted yet.On the 17th Sept on my home page on Triaba the Pay Pal option for pay out became live again(it was gone for a couple of weeks) and I claimed two rewards which was grand(so I thought).But as of today these claims are again showing "pending".So I reckon the problem is not sorted yet.

    I got on to one of the cint survey companies and they haven't a clue when it will be sorted out with PayPal.

    On amazon you can top up your acc using the Redc Card then finish your purchase with another card.

    Be careful of the exchange rate though

    If you have access to PayPal you can add the card send it to a friend and they return it to you then the €50 is in your PayPal balance and you can send it to your bank
    I do this and the money is in my Revolut in a few hours

    Got a €3 survey from RED C today about betting brands(in which I have an interest),but after completing it only got €2.Not worth complaining about the euro but this never happens with RED C.Wonder did anyone else get that survey?

    No Paypal at the moment but should be fixed soon.
    Dear User,

    Unfortunately, due to some additional security measures put in place by Paypal recently, we have been experiencing severe delays in processing your Paypal rewards payments.

    What has happened?

    · Paypal was not accepting bank transfers from Cint - the technology platform used to deliver surveys and rewards to panelists. This means we were unable to add money to our account in order to pay you.

    What steps have been taken so far?

    · We have returned the points for all pending Paypal transactions back to your account; so, you could choose another reward option where possible.

    · We have temporarily removed the option to choose Paypal in our portal/app.

    · We have identified the problem as to why Paypal was not accepting Cint’s bank transfers (Recent security measures implemented by Paypal without any pre-warning has prevented many payments from getting correctly transferred).

    When can you receive your Paypal payments?

    · We expect to be able to restart offering Paypal payments from the 28th of September 2020

    We are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience this disruption has caused. We will provide a further update as soon as payments resume.

    I missed this on the 22nd when it arrived but I chanced my arm and tried it the following day and it worked. I was credited the full amount as well so just in case people get these in the future (ones that say same day) - try it anyway if you miss it. Worst that can happen is you get screened out.

    Is there anything like the satisfaction of getting the exact number you need for the €50 mark on REDC right at the end of the month? :D

    I'm there myself this month with €4 to spare.But when I'm sweating for €2 or €3 for the €50 towards the 29th and I get the one that matters it's a mixture or relief and then satisfaction.

    Was on Europinions myself.Took me two years to get to the €30,which I got through Pay Pal no problem.But unscribed as waiting two years for a pay out is too long in my opinion.How long did it take you to reach your pay out?(Just wondering).

    I'd still email them about it. It might just be €1 but if you're at €49 one month you'll be kicking yourself.

    You can cash out for Amazon vouchers at £5 worth of points but it take me about 5 or 6 weeks to get that. How are you getting 200 points per day?

    27th april was my last payout but I don't do that many surveys from them, they aren't one of my favorites. i get lots of survey opportunities from them but don't always try to do the surveys.

    It depends on your profile demographics. I made £40 on OW in the past month...

    Keep getting an error when trying to claim Amazon vouchers on Opinion World. Has anyone else come across this? I can’t seem to find an email address to follow up?

    Anyone else struggle with the Acumen surveys that asks about great food or drink advertisements and good promotional deals? I don't pay any attention to ads on TV, so never can come up with a good one when asked.

    Still, Acumen is my favourite survey company and I make the most from them. I have 100 in TK Maxx vouchers squirreled away since March for Xmas now.

    I must be completely in the wrong demographic for RedC now as I rarely get any surveys from them - and then get eliminated from them more often than not. I only manage to get roughly 1 x 50 in a year now!
