Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

I got a €1 one from Red C this morning, from an "outside company" before i had even started it it said it would take at least 8 minutes so i just stopped doing it, i figured if it says 8 minutes its usually a bit more and probably should have been a €2 survey.

Got a €4 from RED C on TV/Broadband suppliers(quite a bit longer than the 20 mns stated,but who cares now) this afternoon which at last brings me to the payout ,€53 actualy, and still waiting for that bloody Partner survey but it doesn't matter so much now.I was really careful with those quality control questions at the end too.😄

as it turned out it was sent out again later with €2 (or at least it looked the same at the start) so maybe they corrected it?

i just feel if it was 1/2 minutes over i'd get over it, but when you hit 3/4/5 minutes over if people start doing those they'll continue to push the boundaries.

I agree with you.Most survey companies are as you say "pushing the boundries" lately and it does annoy me too.I have just quit several surveys after they went way over the stated time.RED C doesn't usualy do this though.

I just tried to do a €2 red c one, pre qualifying question was my year of birth. Put it in and then it said i wasnt paying attention basically. Even though info was correct.

€2 needed to cash out this month n all 😂

I haven’t got anything from them in recent days! I must be out of their end of the month target audience!

I was in that bracket but not complaining now.Qualified for nothing for about two weeks then a €5.€4,€2,€2 since Sunday.Strange way RED C works at times.Personaly I would prefer a little more consistancy and less of this wondering whether I will get to the €50 by the 29th.

Once this month is over is should be full steam ahead in the run up to the end of the year

I took a punt on it because I saw ipsos in the address line, it's an EU survey, two 'tasks' monthly for a few months. Rewards include AllGifts.ie

It basically registers you, but it didn't tell you much in fairness I know.

Thanks lucalux for your reply.It sounds legit by your explanation.But I'd say a points system of rewards wouldn't be a good payment method.I'm not dissapointed I declined it.Thanks again for your reply.

On the contrary I quite like the What You Expect surveys. It obviously feeds into some ECB committee somewhere if only as a temperature taking exercise across different Member States.

Sat on €47, get a €5 invite and it doesn't like the occupation - good old RedC!

Frustrating.We've all been there with RED C.

I thought acumen forget about me but they sent a €4 survey that was nice and easy and only took 10 minutes, I could do with a few more like that 🤔

Red C gave me €3 today for a survey about insurance I definitely shouldn't have qualified for.

After the qualifying questions I had it completed in less than five minutes. I suppose it makes up for some of the ones they've kicked me out of for no reason 😕
