    just in case of what exactly ?

    Sometimes a company will shut down and the site will disappear. Or they could pull a Userneeds and change the points to cash ratio just before Christmas. Or they could mess with people like IO and Mobrog, blocking accounts and the like.

    How long does the 50euro redc reward take?
    I got an email saying they were issuing a virtual credit card, but got nothing yet.
    I got mine this morning. It was my first time. I was going to wait for cheque but glad I didn't now. Very handy and I have it used already to pay a bill!

    My iReach balance has also been reset to zero. I'll give it a few weeks and see if they resolve the issue themselves.

    I asked Birdie and someone got back to me today saying it was sorted out but i went onto the website and still showing zero points, have you any luck? It all seemed to correspond when i changed from an eircom.net email to a gmail one.

    I emailed info@ireach Tuesday and she came back to me yesterday and all my points have been updated today.

    @Kittykat67, ah ok, hopefully tomorrow it will be back to normal, thanks

    Is that why the points were not added yet, I was wondering.

    These partner surveys can take two weeks or more to show up in your account.

    Sounded like it was a government survey.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Kittykat67


    Today was my first surveys for this month from Red C Got a €4 and €2. Neither of the Points added yet, but glad i got to do them. I was a bit lazy last year as it was my first year doing it, so going to try and do as many as I can this year.

    Got a 2 euro one that I was kicked from... Why do I only seem to get kicked right when I need it :o (I know it's just confirmation bias but annoying all the same)

    I find them grand. You don't make quick bucks but it's only a few minutes work each day.
    You get your payment a couple of weeks after requesting.

    I signed up in September. I got my first €15 before Christmas it took about 8 days I think from when I ordered . It is very repetitive same questions every day but only takes a few minutes. It builds up over time and they do give bonus surveys and extra points sometimes. It is worth joining but it takes time. They used to give a bonus of 100 points each time u did 14 in a row which helped me build up my first rewards quicker but unfortunately they stopped that.

    Redc cheque arrived today


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Kittykat67


    Redc cheque arrived today

    That was only a few days behind the virtual one. I might get that the next time. Although virtual ended up suiting me this time, I think in general I'd prefer the cheque.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭thomas anderson.


    1 day left of the RedC community one. There was a lot in it alright, much more than the 30min a day they advertised.

    Usually the way with most survey companies.Rarely end up as the advertised time.

    If you wanted to give 1 line answers you could have skipped through it fairly quickly. I'd wonder how quick they would be to pay out though

    Been on €49 since before Christmas with RedC, someone is taking the Mick I reckon :P

    They might not have been too pleased with you,and maybe not payed you for speeding through the survey.Anyway the pot of gold is near.

    I was wondering since I've only ever got the online card from Redc-if you get the cheque,would you have to pay tax on it?

    Got many cheques from RED C over the years and just cashed them in my bank.Never any comeback from Revenue.I think the ammount is too small for Revenue to be interested.
