    IReach? I get only a max of €3 per month from them.


    Irish Opinions, RedC, and Mobrog are far superior for earnings.

    I like i reach because their surveys are the most interesting to complete, not because of the rewards.

    The one thing i dont like about mobrog is most of them are 20-35 mins long, i prefer surveys from 5-15 minutes long.

    I reach and acumen are enjoyable surveys tbh

    60 to 80 cent iirc.
    Not bad at all.RED C pay 1e which is good so 60c to 80c per 5 min is among the best.

    RED C No 1 for me.Only playing the "Spin the Wheel " on Toluna lately for a few points.Fed up of doing surveys for 20 or 25 mins for pennies on Toluna.

    I earned €30 on Toluna last year. Couldn’t tell you how much time and effort I spent doing their surveys. They’ve been ditched now.

    You're absolutely right there. The only ones I trust now. They may be slow sending the surveys but I usually cash in every 4-5 month's. I used to do IO but when I got to €9.75 the last time after 3 weeks approx I get a stupid message saying that they were suspending my account all because I clicked on the same survey link a few times ftom two different devices, smartphone and laptop! Surely they can understand that I would have tried more than once to open the link!! Anyway they haven't responded to me so far and frankly they're not worth the trouble.

    Anyone know what sort of rewards you get from Userneeds?I have 9000pts but cant see any option to claim a reward.They say they'll send an e mail to me to claim my reward.I don't get this.Why don't they show a selection of the available rewards on their site? Anyone get anything from them or know about them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    For userneeds go to dashboard and select use points +
    8000 gives you €10 gift card for example and they give you a code to use on all gifts website and then you can spend the reward there

    Thanks OG for your reply.So you don't get a card delivered to your home.

    They send you a code for AllGifts.ie which you redeem on their website

    Nothing in the post from userneeds, they send you a code then you register with all gifts website and redeem your code and can let them build up there or cash out for Tesco etc
    I found it long winded the first time but you get used to it, all gifts have the option of physical or virtual cards too which is handy

    Anyone on Life Points? Seems to have gone downhill very quickly. At least half of surveys seem to be Cint ones that when you finish them you get an error page.

    And now lifepoints have disabled my account just after I put in a withdrawal request. Maybe they got sick of me mailing them to get the survey reward after completing 99% then getting stung with an error.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    I’m on life points and surveys complete fine

    Okay folks, as you know I'm one for trying out new sites and surveys. The latest one was recommanded to me and is a very easy way of earning Amazon.co.uk credit. It's an app from the recruitment and job website, Indeed, and is called Job Spotter. The app wants you to take pictures of job vacancies in shop windows, and depending on what type of company or business it is, you get points that convert to Amazon vouchers. I have only done one for test purposes, got £0.80 for the one submission and then requested an Amazon voucher yesterday, which just arrived in my inbox. So little effort and if you are in a large town outside Dublin, you may have tonnes of potential sites. Check it out if you are interested.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25 Bilboss


    I had a voucher on my AllGifts account that expired two days ago that I totally forgot about :( Messaged them yesterday in the hopes that they would extend it and no response. Does anyone have experience dealing with them? Raging with myself


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,902 ✭✭✭thesandeman


    Did anyone else get a weird survey from MOBROG about Sarah Jessica Parker, including asking would I wear her dress? They must be really desperate if the pre screening allowed me complete that one.

    Sounds interesting, but its "Get it on Google Play" link redirects to Apple Store and says only available on iOS :(

    I'm after claiming several rewards on Life Points since they changed from My Surveys (all through Pay Pal) with no problems.I have had one survey which I was not credited for but i just let it go.The survey companies have the upper hand on us,they know we want to do the surveys for their rewards,but if we complain they ban us.They also ban us for not paying attention(especially when rewards attain a certain amount,strange that),but they know that they are many more people ready to join their "community".So they have no problem in deleting "troublesom" accounts.We who do these surveys are at their mercy.The other option is to delete your account or just accept that some surveys you not get paid for.

    Irish Opinons suspended my account, did they tell me this, no. I got no surveys for a week or 2 and had to email them to ask what was going on. Got an email back saying my account was suspended, kants. Avoid as they seem to do this willy nilly without informing users

    They've been rubbish recently. Sent out a survey that didn't work. I told them I was halfway through and it wasn't possible to go any further. They said the survey had been taken down for maintenance then resent it a few days later with the non-working part of the survey at the beginning of it.

    Emailed them to let them know it STILL didn't work and I got a big long reply telling me all the things I should do instead. Clear cookies and all that. The survey didn't have buttons to click to progress. That was the problem. But no they sent a huge list of errors that must be at my end.

    Almost 2 weeks without a working or eligible survey and 75c away from an Amazon voucher.

    get your 75 cent, order the voucher and delete your account. they aren't worth the hassle.

    Just an update on the indeed job spotter app, it's going very well and easy (Amazon) money. Cash out any time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭pgj2015


    just left vivatic surveys, i had 4.55 on my account, did a couple of surveys, then i logged in and my account was 0.00

    poor 60 cent surveys anyway

    Has Irish Opinions gone quiet for anybody else? This is the longest period I've gone without any surveys - 8 days.

    2 or 3 in the past week. Usually there's surveys available that just don't start but the no surveys available message is there a lot recently.

    I've logged on and seen that message but often when I then check my emails and use a new or old invite it will take me to a different survey. Seems that there's surveys there but they just don't always show.

    That's hilarious. I've had no emails and no surveys on the site but clicked on an old invite and have just done 4 surveys.
    Thanks.
