    Yes was looking at my last order and it's two weeks ago this Friday. Something fishy going on with them. The Tesco vouchers normally arrived within a week for me in the past. Think I'll be ordering a voucher that I can download straight away from another provider, the next time.
    The grey panel saying no surveys available is constantly coming up too!!!!

    Same here,but it goes yellow then for me and I get a survey.I have got about 4 in the past week from IO.I really don't know what to make of the grey box though.

    They always took about 2 weeks to arrive with me, never quicker than that. The final ones I ordered before I was banned took about 3 weeks.

    Amazon vouchers are coming instantly but surveys seem to have almost dried up recently.

    RedC survey with a bunch of IQ test style questions at the end, very odd.

    Can only think they want to get some guesswork at logic skills to see who applied what logic to the offers in the survey

    Really doing so few surveys this year by choice, 50 acumen, closing on 50 RedC and my Kantar scanner/surveys are likely to be my total year takings from it all

    The grey panel saying no surveys available is constantly coming up too!!!!

    I'm glad to see other people are having this problem too. It's gotten ridiculous. I was making at least 12-15 a month for the last year or so, and since October I've gotten about 2 surveys.

    I've been emailing them back and forth to complain but they just keep giving me the script about having my profile up to date. It's the same profile I've had for the last year. Button is always gray too, it was never this bad before

    I just tried the latest omnibuzz survey from Ideas panel, they asked me to choose a music band, one of the Answers was Europe, one was Crocodile dundee and i think the others were colours, I chose Europe (the final countdown singers) and i was kicked out of the survey for choosing the wrong answer???

    The Beatles seemed a much more appropriate choice. ;)

    Sounds like someone in the survey company had never heard of Europe and thought it was an OK dummy answer. Kids these days!

    I think Irish opinions has gone to sh1t
    I’ve been grey for a month now and I’m stuck on €9.50
    Going from a €10 voucher card a week to nothing is strange

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    I've been frozen out now for about 3 weeks now. Frustrating.

    They must have heard me. Working again.

    Anyone else get hit with a suspended account? Mine was greyed out for almost a month now and I've been emailing back and forth a good deal since then and was constantly told my account was in order and that everything was okay.

    I challenged it again about two days ago and suddenly got told this morning that due to inattentiveness and quality concerns that I've been indefinitely suspended.

    The whole thing is getting very suspicious at the moment.

    Edit : I've done a bit of research through here and is the whole tracking IP's with Toluna a genuine thing? Because I did join with them at around the same time my IO surveys started drying up.....

    I think I've got about 5 or 6 email invitations for surveys over the last few days.
    When I login, it just says 'no studies available'

    Does anyone remember the weird Acumen survey which promised 1500 points? I think it was September.

    I just checked on their member area and I was awarded 10 points instead of 1500! That's what you get for being screened out, but I definitely completed it. Did anyone get the 1500 points?
