    It's quite annoying to answer 30% of the questions on a €2 survey to then be told you are not eligible. Surely they could frontload the questions that determine if you are eligible or not.

    Do you mean surveys in general? If so then yes to both questions.

    It's highly unlikely they'll ask you to finish it, I'm afraid.

    That's why I emailed them as they are good. it was the fact they gave one half but not the other. If I hadn't gotten the first half I would have thought it was a partner survey so would expect the delay. Maybe they will sort it eventually, just hope I'm not short 1 point to cash out!
    edit they finally updated it for me and added the point. First issue I had with them and delighted they resolved it for me

    I doubt it.You only get one chance to complete a RED C survey,irrespective of the circumstances that caused the survey to pause.

    I’ve had surveys from red c go down due to phone calls etc and what they recommend was to open the invite email a few hours later and it should ask you date of birth and then carry on from where you’ve left it

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    My phone just randomly restarted (which it's NEVER done before... typical) in the middle of a (five euro :( ) REDC survey... So hopefully they'll let me complete in a little while!

    Edit: let me in after 20-30 minutes and finished it :)

    I signed up last week and I'm half way to it, my friend signed up the same day and has already got a voucher and has another few euros earned. It seems to be quicker for some than others.

    Just be careful and attentive with IO.Take your time with their surveys.I was also advised by IO to not do more than four surveys a day.Don't let your balance build up too much.Cash out at €20 max.IO give plenty of surveys ,but they can suddently take a dislike to you.

    I'm going to cash out at €10

    Can anyone tell me what the tax implications are for these kinds of surveys? Say for instance if I get a One4All for completing a survey, is that declared as a benefit in kind?

    As far as I know there is no tax to be paid on vouchers so I doubt you need to be declaring anything. I assume that is why all these companies pay vouchers.

    What about payment to Paypal and RedC cheques? It's not all vouchers.

    On any income like the redc cheques technically ofc it should be declared to revenue but I dont think it would worth their while going after redlive c to hand over details of what they're sending out to people. Etsy and airbnb for example have to hand over all these details to revenue now but people are obvioualy potentially earning thousands through those not 50 euro a few times a year like red live c. The vouchers cant be taxed either.

    If people are worried about tax they would probably best taking the mastercard then would you think? I've never thought of tax before on any of my survey vouchers. I did wonder myself when I started Red C last year but it took me a year nearly to earn the 50 and in the end took the master card. One4all advertise as tax fee bonus for staff so I always presume that is why most companies give the gift voucher options
