RED C are the best IMO,but there are others who are rewarding too,if you don't abuse them.

Was getting a bit sweaty yesterday as my due Red C cheque never arrived when it seemed most of the usual RC panelists had received theirs.But all ok for me as mine arrived this morning after surviving a bite mark from my mutt.No damage done though and lodged in bank.Happy days.And €25 in account towards next one already.

Anybody try unex ipsos postal survey ?
I’ve registered and awaiting start up

Blanchguy · 21-11-2019 8:33pm

Straightforward, once you are organised. You get points which you can redeem for gifts online or you can get a virtual credit card for €20 or €50 when your points build up.

Is that the postal survey ?
If so how much do you earn from it, I was reading 25-30 a month

I did the UNEX postal survey for a couple of months and tbh, it was a pain in the arse. You get a pack of letters a week in advance, you then register that pack online. You then go to the post office and get your set of five stamps for the week. You then post each letter on each day of the week. You then register each posting online on the day. For that, I got €15 per month and your postage refunded. Note that the pack can sometimes contain parcels, that you have to go to the post office to send. Also if you are away, you have to give them advance notice and try to get someone else to post on your behalf.

That sounds alright, but I have a postbox about 30 metres from my house. I'm just receiving at the moment, but the letter pack was mentioned when I started and never arrived. Still don't know what that was about, but I get about a fiver worth of points per month and some nice cardboard boxes anyway!

pgj2015 · 25-11-2019 1:33pm

I wonder what happened opinion world? im glad i cashed out lately, i had about 25 euro to claim, only have about 3 euro now.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 25-11-2019 2:37pm

It's that time of year again, for an annual total.

Pretty typical for me, with ups and downs across platforms more or less balancing out

The major ones were (from 1 Dec 10)
RedC 250
Irish Opinions 372
Mobrog 115
Acumen 70
Opinion World 75
Opinions.ie 60

€1374 from all sources

Nice.But how do you avoid doing duplicate surveys and falling foul of the survey companies.I got a survey I had already completed on another site from IO yesterday and just deleted it(for reasons we all know)?

freshpopcorn · 25-11-2019 7:35pm

RedC paid the second part of that survey that they texted to your phone!

bmc58 · 27-11-2019 7:59pm

Claimed €8 from Triaba to Pay Pal this evening at around 6pm,in my Pay Pal account around 6.45 pm.Is this a record for survey companies.

degrassinoel · 28-11-2019 2:08pm

My yearly one is

REDC - just barely made the €150 mark
Swagbucks - £145 (Amazon vouchers)
MTurk - $20

gave up on IO, Opinionworld and the rest and just went fairly casual with those two.

I tried out Mechanical turk but found it very much more hit&miss than anything else, that said i got 20dollars in amazon.com vouchers for a few days of trying.

Averaging a flat rate of about 50p a day on the SB site for watched videos, just basically have them on in the background muted, the occasional survey and whatever bonus crap they have on and it's actually worked out fairly well. Giz a shout if ye want a referral link

REDC is by far the better as it's a cheque in euros, but the amazon vouchers are handy for this time of year too

How are you earning so much from Swagbucks? I barely get anything from them.

IO has improved a bit during the year.I'm getting plenty of survey offers BUt at a reduced rate from before.

L1011 · 28-11-2019 8:01pm

I've given up surveys except the big or consistent payers more or less. If nobody does the tiny payment ones they'll have to pay more for them, basically - and I value my time a bit better. So no Toluna, no Triaba, no OW, no Userneeds and even no IO. I don't even do all the ones I get either so there would be far higher amounts possible even with these few:

€52 on RedC - was at 0 at the start of the year as a cheque issued; and got another recently with a balance of €2
~€60 on Acumen - carried a balance, one €50 card and €22 balance as of today
€14 on iReach - had carried €16 balance so just ordered a €30 card.
The normal ~€100 from Shop and Scan

jc77 · 28-11-2019 8:33pm

Can anyone post a signup link for iReach or MTurk please?

I don't see one on either webpage.

Thank you

IReach just click on Register. But you won't make much from them.

1.50 a month is the norm on iReach but you do very little for it.

In my opinion Triaba is not too bad.They have a new option on their site( on your home page) where you can see surveys available instead of waiting for an e mail from them.And you can cash out as soon as you get to €5 with Pay Pal.

€1.50 a month is still not worth the effort.

The surveys are vastly shorter than 1.50 on IO etc.

degrassinoel · 28-11-2019 10:13pm

the occasional survey (3 or 4 a week), the bonus every few days from daily search, daily poll, and around 50sb per day purely from "watch".

Plus the swago tasks and whatever other special stuff they have on for bonuses.

If you meet your daily earnings each day you earn a small bonus too - like earn 50SB today and get 9SB at the end of the month, so do that each day and get a few quid's worth at the end of the month. Then there's a weekly bonus for meeting your targets all week and a monthly one for the same.

Sounds like way more than it actually is, but yeah it's working out for me fairly decently. Minimal effort for it anyway.

have the app too - handy when you're sitting on the throne with feckall else to do, get a survey in

Of course it’s worth the effort, the surveys are very short and never an issue

jc77 · 28-11-2019 10:35pm

Gathering additional Swagbucks

Discover > AdscendMedia > Hideout.tv

Create an account, select a video to start with & every so often redeem the points for SBs

If enable notifications in Chrome, there are occasional redemption codes to redeem to get additional Hideout points

Ireach are tedious surveys. I had €2.50 for two IO surveys today that took less than 20 minutes in total.

All surveys are tedious lol but it’s all about the yearly take, I’ve €30 from ireach this year for little effort so for someone to say it’s not worth the effort makes no sense

Not being pedantic, but Mobrog, IO and others pay out multiples of that per year with just as little effort required.

pgj2015 · 29-11-2019 1:49am

i reach surveys are my favorite, they are never boring like the drink surveys and dont take long.

Other companies may pay more money but it all adds up so what’s wring with doing them all once the people completing the surveys are happy there’s not a problem but to say ireach isn’t worth doing is ridiculous.
I can understand people not bother with Irish opinions because the pay out is not as good for time spent as it once was and the risk of random bans is high but it is still worth doing them.

irish_goat · 29-11-2019 9:48am

I've got €35 in the past year from iReach. Not massive but it's a handy Supervalu voucher for a Christmas bottle of whiskey and the surveys, I find, are very quick to fly through.

L1011 · 29-11-2019 12:18pm

I personally find that the time a 1.50 iReach takes might get me 75c on IO.

malcy · 29-11-2019 12:54pm

Will finish the year with about €200 from IO. Happy with that considering I didn't do any for at least 6 months of the year due to not being arsed and the various problems with IO.

pgj2015 · 29-11-2019 4:54pm

I ordered a €10 Tesco voucher from IO yesterday and never got the usual confirmation to my Google e mail account.My IO account shows I have ordered the voucher but this is the first time I never got the confirmation E mail,eg (your Tesco voucher is on it's way).Anyone have a similar experience lately?

Kh1993 · 03-12-2019 8:03pm

€101 from RedC (hit 50 today so probably won’t get cheque in 2019)
€100 from MOBROG (fairly surprised at this!)
€50 from Acumen
€13 from Triaba
€80 from Listener Insights (used to be Platform 1)

Never joined IO or Opinion world, quickly gave up on Userneeds. Don’t suffer too much from duplicate surveys.

Surprised on the MOBROG amount, fairly decent for short surveys. Acumen ones the best, the way they autofill the first 10 or so questions saves a good few mins per survey, but they’re quite sparse.

Paid Survey sites - Irish Opinions, Acumen, RedC etc
