Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc

Got the "hamper" yesterday.
Got the survey text tonight...just a 5 min. survey.

Did anyone just get a "A few questions about your Volkswagen!" survey invitation from OpinionWorld? I never told them I own a Volkswagen, but I took the screener anyway, and got disqualified after answering that nobody in my household owns a car. I find it a bit odd that the invitation opens with "You said you own a Volkswagen."

Just got it on IO. €11 for 20 mins. Screened out as well but considered lying my way through it for that reward!

Ohhh ,just as well.You don't want to mess(in IO's opinion) with IO,as many of us know to our cost.Tempting as €11 for 20 mns is ,it it worth being banned for?

Yeah I was thinking it was a trap so decided against it. Have found IO improved a little recently. More surveys available and customer support very prompt and helpful.

Just went to cash in my opinion world survey voucher for €10 TKMaxx and all of a sudden I have breached their terms and conditions and my account has been terminated. I'm so annoyed now as everyone is harping on about them and I said I'd give it a go! What a scam

I tried to cash out over €20 with them and they cancelled my account. Accused me of being in the UK and ignored all subsequent emails including one asking for all the data they had on me.

Very convenient on their end that they wait until you cash out to tell you that your account has been suspended. Total con artists. There's no regulation on these companies so it's always a risk but OW seem to be the worst of the lot.

Ask them about it. I've never seen issues like this wit Opinion World.

I did send two emails waiting on a reply now but I can no longer log into my account

This thread has had several posters flag this same issue up. Been going on for years.

Just wondering have you ever done the same survey on more than one site?

Don't think so.I do some with IO on my phone and PC and had no issues.

Did you answer questions a bit too fast without reading them?Just guessing for reasons for your problems.

I was doing a survey on fizzy drinks and even tho I said I never drank such and such I was made rate it from 1-5 there was no option for me to say I have never tried this.
It was a no win situation of this was the reason.
I sit down and read all the questions carefully. I had to go and collect my son from school. I walked and finished the survey on the way.
I did another survey after that one.
Clocked up 1060 points and decided to redeem a voucher an hour later and my account was terminated.

I don't have much luck.
Thought I could make a little extra coming up to Christmas

If you ever get an uncompletable survey like that; bail out and email them saying its broken.

I've got a few like that over the past year and just stopped and deleted the survey.Didn't bother reporting it and had no problems.Just don't complete a survey that you might be untruthtful on as you will be found out.And suffer the consequences of soon after when you try to cash out your rewards.

Any sign of Redc cheques?

Not yet :-(

I got an offer from IO about accounting my spending habits on one particular day.I accepted the invite and kept an account of what I spent on that day.I never got the follow up survey to complete.Anyone have a similar experience?
