    I'm signed up with Irish Opinions about a year now and in that time I have only got a tenner out of them. Close enough to getting another tenner soon. I used to do the postal surveys as well, that was until I started to take the piss out of them. They used to give a 25eur dunnes voucher every month for recieving letters in the post and logging them up online. 25eur for about 4 hours work a month was taking the piss. So I emailed them to complain :D I wanted 40 eur a month from them. Truth be told I never heard from them again. I wasn't too bothered about it TBH.

    I used to work for Millward Brown when I was a student. I love taking the piss out of survey companies :D
    hi, iv recently signed to irish opinion .com but they dont seem to be putting my credit onto my account. It keeps saying pending. Also i dont like the way they send you a survey and you spend 15 mins filling it out only to be told you are,nt suitable. Anyone else find this annoying.

    It most cases they get credited within a month, they did have some problems before xmas and some of them took a couple of months to be credited.

    I also hate the surveys that take a while and you get the message you are not suitable for them, some of those have good rewards so you might want to complete it, if they are for external partners when you get that message don't click on Continue close the browser window after go back to your e-mail and click on the link again and change the answers. It does work in some cases.

    Ok, well about half of them are available worldwide, the other half are not.

    That only goes for the ones on this site http://www.techagesite.com/Surveys%20page1.htm There are many out there you can just search google for paid surveys irish if you like. But there are some worth while on here too.

    I get on average two surveys a week that I can do, and average €10 a month most months with them. I have also attended two focus groups through them this year, earning €50 and €85 in vouchers for them.

    I've been a member of Irish Opinions for about 3 or 4 years. I've gotten 20 euro from them, and am almost up to my next tenner. Yeah, it takes ages, and the 'sorry but you do not qualify' message is annoying, but it only takes a few minutes at a time, so I don't mind too much. I'm desperately poor so if this means I can afford a new CD every now and again, I'll keep at it!

    Been doing surveys with them for just over 2 years, most of the surveys came in 2007 and 2008, so far I got €60 and another €10 waiting to order stuff. Make sure that under "Survey Opportunities" you have everything 100% maybe review them and change them a bit so you can get more surveys.

    Thanks nava, they're all filled out and ready to go! I don't have a car, so bits of them can't be completed. I don't mind though, it's free money.:D

    Even if you don't have a car say that you do, they will not ask you to drive it will mainly be surveys about buying a new car, petrol, etc

    I think is clear on what you have to do :D

    Regarding if they ask about it no, in the envelope attached to it they said that you will get a mail within a couple of weeks but haven't got anything so far.

    Did you notice they are Kittensoft, you can see it from the design on the paper.

    I have been at €9.75 for the last year. Every survey they send I either do not qualify for or they don't pay me. I have lost almost another €10 from surveys that they won't cough up for. Dodgy to say the least. :mad:

    Send them an e-mail about it.

    Also always keep an eye after completing a Survey to make sure that it shows under pending credits, it did happen to me once that a survey for €5 wasn't there.

    Regards

    They say you either have to write to them or ring them. Both in Britan. Did any of you get a reply when you emailed them?

    Don't think its a scam, I have 30 (edited, I have more than I thought :P) euro on my balance with them.

    Done loads of surveys, some seemed to not pay out but I think I did some of them twice which is why. It takes some of them ages to pay out.

    I've gotten it in amazon vouchers with the codes displayed on my profile. Never used them yet though.

    I've never had any problems with either getting surveys or geting vouchers, though I did opt for amazon vouchers which I get immediately when I request them.

    I've earned over €40 since signing up at the end of 2005 and I'm about halfway to my next 10.

    I also take part in that postal survey, get €30 Tesco vouchers a month for about max: an hour's work.

    tSubh, is that the UNEX survey? I used to do it when I lived in Cork. I wouldn't mind doing it again, if at all possible.

    At the moment I think they're only looking for people in Galway but I'll send in an email and find out if they need people in Dublin too.

    Hi all, saw an advert for opinion world which said you get paid for completing their surveys but you only get ticketsfor a prize draw.It is a swizz.
