    Did you do both the tasting and the video focus group?

    No, just the tasting.

    nothing from redC in two weeks...




    That's strange I get loads, Have had 2 payouts this year already and merged them on Perx (forgot to load the first one when I got the email) for a fee of a euro.

    surveys from red c are not the same for everyone, it very much depends on the profile of the person to which there are so many variables so it is not strange really

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Every one seems to be different. I signed up over a year ago and have had only one Payout although I am at 49 so hopefully will get another next month.

    Anyone else waiting for €4 reward from RedC for Survey p017246B (25th March)? I emailed them last week and they said the survey is on hold; points to be credited once restarts and completed. My balance is €46 :rolleyes:

    The below is the response I got. Sit tight, they do pay to be fair to them:


    Rewards for some surveys are credited after the completion of the research study which may take several weeks.

    This is the case on this survey.

    /This survey is currently on hold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭bmc58

    I ordered a voucher off iReach a month ago now and it hasn't landed. Just wondering if anyone else has found them slow lately before I go contacting them

    They were never quick at sending cards out. A month would be typical.

    I wish they had some other rewards in addition to one4all cards.

    I think it usually takes about a month for mine usually too, but it does always come.

    It's so long between payouts from them that it's hard to remember.

    Seems to be a lack of surveys over the past two days on Irish Opinions. Has anyone noticed the same?

    Do u wait for the emails or are you in and out checking. I check it numerous times every day to find them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 398 ✭✭liamoreilly


    ...Probably slightly off topic- But I do the Media opinions and it's quite good... Literally just mention if you watched TV the previous day (once a week asks about radio), and you get 10 points... 1500 points is equal to €15 which gets a one for all voucher... Often do double/triple points on weekends so it builds up quick enough for the sake of a minute a day (less if you say you didn't watch tv)...
    ...Also, refer a friend and if both of you complete 7 surveys you each get 250 points!... Happy to do the refer a link with anyone that wants...

    I'm doing it since last year, I've had 2 pay outs and up to 6.00 again. It can be tedious, it's the same thing every day but very quick to do it each day once ur in the habit . There was a bonus survey yesterday too.

    I found them too tedious and repetitive for 10 cent. More than enough decent money to be had elsewhere.

    Ireach, Irish Opinions, Acumen, Ideas Panel, Opinions. Ie
    Red C and Shop and scan. Shopper Thoughts. Focus Groups Ireland, I'm only signed up to that a few months and not got a reward yet but am on €10. That is the only one I have not a reward from yet but I'd say they will be OK. They are all the ones I use and great rewards. I am up to €350 this year so far since January 1st

    I check a few times a day as I don’t really get emails from them. Got one a little while ago for €1.50 so at least I’m still getting them but they aren’t as many as the previous days.

    If its the same one I've done, its a tracker, it'll be re-sent to the same people as they want to track changes in behaviour. It takes ages to pay out - I've done 4 and think I've been paid for 2!

    I'm using swagbucks for the last time. Once I get a 10 amazon voucher I'm out, it's too goddamn slow and difficult to get any points like ipsos. The surveys are all silly as well.

    I don't have kids, maybe that excludes me but the studies are painful to fill in and so long.

    No kids here, i just do the surveys, use the search engine and the games daily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭Aceandstuff


    There are plenty of shorter surveys, screenout points, and bonuses if you know where to look with Swagbucks. I do the poll for 1 SB and the card game every day for another 10. One survey generally gets me to the first "daily goal", which adds to a monthly bonus balance, and then I try to check off the other items on the checklist for the two bonuses. Survey walls through Revenue Universe will get you either more SB or one screenout SB at a time, and they all count as "offers", not surveys. AdGate surveys are similar, but they rarely work out for me, and they tend to stop at 2 screenout SB in a row.

    I've been there, it's far too much effort for the reward. They make it too convoluted compared to many others just sending surveys.
    A grand a year can be made with the other sites for a combined effort less than SB's going all around the houses to clock up points.
