    RedC cheque arrived this morning. Pleasantly surprised, often when the month starts with a bank holiday it's the 20-somethingeth before it gets here!

    Got my €50 today,grand.Got my first survey from RED C for €1 in weeks,screened out,bummer.Still they know I'm still here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,567 ✭✭✭Irish_rat


    €5 on the Life Insurance and Pensions. Not a bad start to the year. Nice surveys to do aswell. Gave up completely on IO. Not worth the time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    All seem to be back in full swing this week. Even IO yielded 5.25 this week.

    Hopefully the election will give rise to a few decent surveys

    Got a €3 one from RED C today and completed it.Off again into 2020.
    Surely RED C will have a few on the election.

    They phone poll for the actual election polls but there may be some from parties wanting to see how specific actions went down etc

    Don't do phone polls.Just don't like them.

    Well they don't (rare exceptions exist) usually pay for starters

    Used to frequently get election polled on my old work phone by IPSOS but never on my personal one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,479 ✭✭✭pgj2015


    is anyone opinion world surveys these days?

    I've been getting invitations alright, but I don't qualify for any of them. None on the dashboard either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,678 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    First election survey completed today, this is the only plus side of the election

    Likewise. Three emails this week and didn't even get to start any before being thrown out.

    I had two today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,007 ✭✭✭bmc58


    Got one from Red C yesterday from one of their partners,GFK about broadband/TV/mobile providers for €4.Completed the whole survey and after the last question the survey wouldn't close.I waited about 5 mns and went out of it.No credit applied by the way.(I know "partners surveys take a few days to be applied to account).I logged in again to see would I be able to close the survey and was told "You have already completed this survey".Seems a strange carry on.As of today I'm still waiting for the €4.Anyone have a similar experience?

    Exact same happened. Ended up At the end on a landing page with about 20 different languages saying you’ve already completed or accessed it. Probably shouldn’t link to these unreliable partners if they can’t guarantee a fair chance.

    one4all website is offering userneeds invites currently if anyone is looking for one.

    Main thing with userneeds is withdraw very, very infrequently - its 800 a euro if you claim €10 vouchers but something like 550 if you claim €50. Can take a long time to get there!

    8.000 points = €10 18.000 points = €25 25.000 points = €40 40.000 points = €65

    They are slow and I get rejected from more of them than any other surveys. €40 for the year would be a good return for me.

    I always cash out for €25 just in case things go tits up for them.
    Only twice a year for the last couple of years now but I skip a lot. Even when I get screened out or am late they apparently enter me into some draw.
    I wonder if Emma is a real person? Same for Conor with the other crowd. The both seem to be the figureheads of their respective companies since I started doing surveys quite a few years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,567 ✭✭✭Irish_rat


    Messed up with a security check on a redc poll yesterday but got a 2 euro one today. 14 euro since I signed up late December not bad. Its the only survey I'm doing really. Quick easy and more cash for time investment. The others are not worth the hassle

    Exact same happened to me today. sounds like the same survey.

    IO taking the piss again. 50c to go and easily 20+ surveys that don't start when clicked through the dashboard or email since hitting €11.50.

    Always happens.

    It's not personal and I doubt deliberate by IO. I never seem to have that issue. Cashed out again last night and getting at least two surveys a day with very few rejections. They're not looking at your account and saying "he's at €11.50 don't let him get enough to cash out"

    Sorry malcy,was on€18.75 today and got two surveys to push me over the €20.Ordered the €20 in Tesco vouchers and they are on the way.No problem with IO now.Maybe you just don't fit for these surveys.Have patience you will get to your target.

    Just wondering how long it takes for credit to be applied for these "outside partners" to your account.I have the survey number and up to today the credit for the survey I completed has not been added to my account.

    I've just seen this website - Irish Opinions

    Is it worth signing up for?

    Do people actually make money?

    Any risks?

    Yes
    Yes
    No
    If you have the time you can get between €10-€20 a week on it but cash out at every €10 or €20 you make and pay attention to the questions or you will get banned

    It's what started this thread. Some don't think the reward to time is worth it but I clear over €400 each year and it's no effort doing a survey while having a coffee or watching TV. No risks.

    I think I did that one. They posted out a tetra pack with water in it, if I remember rightly.

    How long would one take for the surveys on average per week?

    Just seen this thread popping up, it is Irish opinions that you have to sign up to?

    Sorry for questions but very new to this.

    every survey is different, i just did a 2 minute one for 75 cent and a 20 minute one earlier was €1

    these two would be the better companies to go for

    I think I might have done the survey side of that but didn't get the actual water. It is possible it was a 'some of you will get this' thing though.

    Many years ago I did a Baileys one that had a potential for getting sent a bottle to test. Came home to find an oddly shaped package from Diageo - a Baileys ice cube tray!

    I remember surveys like that about 12-18 months ago, but I never got the products. I did another one recently for a sort of snack food and it said at the end that I should get a sample in a few weeks. We'll see what happens...
