    I had a survey come up yesterday on the Mobrog and Opinion App that wanted me to take a picture of myself and also my passport at the start of it. They were under a euro on both apps which wasn't encouraging. I don't mind giving some details about myself but no way was I putting up my passport. Just wondering has anyone seen anything like that before, I'm a good while doing surveys and haven't

    That's very suspicious to me and for less than a euro I doubt anyone is giving them that. I'm the same don't mind giving certain details but that is a bit much.

    One that I got today from RED C was ,where I went ,who I met,on Mon and Tue of this week.Did it and told the truth.Broke no rules.Is this the Government checking up on Irish people and their adherence to Covid rules?

    Postman handed me four envelopes today. All marked "Private and Confidential" and containing plastic cards.
    He must think I'm up to to some sort of a scam but it's just that my One4All rewards from a few different survey companies all arrived on the same day.

    Same thing happened to me today, but only two envelopes, one each for partner and myself, i was thinking jaysus what bill/summons was after arriving, but it was from ireach they arrived fairly quick after ordering them two weeks ago.

    I only ordered last week with ireach so I ll probably be waiting awhile if they're after processing.

    Yep loads. Usually the smoking and gambling ones.

    I still use it, and it's better than ever for me. They got rid of videos alright, but there are 10 free points for playing games every day now, and a few ways to get some bonuses with the daily checklist and SWAGO, etc. I find the games a lot quicker and easier than waiting for those useless playlists to not load for an hour.

    Redc, morborg, ireach, acumen, shop and scan , irish opinions they pay out decent enough when all added up together over the year, you wont get rich but it all comes in handy, once you hit the magic number to cash out do it. Others will give you a few more sites to join also

    That's definitely longer than most of the RED C panelists here.Usually takes me about 10 to 12 weeks to reach the €50 mark.It all depends on your demographics .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,814 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    It takes 5-7 months for me. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,020 ✭✭✭123654789


    I reached the 50 this month, it took 10 months. This was the fastest ever for me and I attempted every survey they sent pretty soon after i got it (only a few a month). I got 2 surveys this month and didn't qualify for either.
    Redc are rubbish for me. Im nearly tempted to re register with a profile the opposite to what i have, switch gender, triple my salary, acquire loads and loads of kids and pets lol

    The Attapol app is great as well. I have a referal code if anyone wants to message me for it. You get notifications straight away. I love Irish Opinions and I'm on it everyday. This month alone I managed to get 2 €10 gift Vouchures for Tesco. The joys of being off work temporarily....

    Also it'd be quite hard to remember your lie; and age it appropriately too. Don't try it.

    If you're female, you'll usually get less surveys as far more women do them - obviously there are surveys that target women, but there are also ones that target men so that bit probably washes out.

    25-44 used to be the age with the most people doing it but I'd say its now aging up at the top to maybe even 60. That will continue to get older and older as people who are online continue to get older.

    Younger adults and older people will get more surveys, and men will get more - due to them needing a population mix, not just a who-does-surveys mix

    In my case, I've started to get a lot less as I got older; having long since left the "younger adult" age group where I qualified for everything!

    You hit the nail on the head with those companies

    Opinions.ie is ok too. Can earn a max of 300 pointa a month just commenting in the comments section. Surveys are not plently though. Good a paying out too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,814 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    I forgot to mention Surveytime. They pay out instantly for each survey completed. Tends to be a lot of survey duplication with Attapoll though.

    I recently changed age bracket so getting less surveys a lot of we have enough in your demographic..the joys of growing older with redc!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,250 ✭✭✭✭Jim_Hodge


    I'm not sure what age bracket is best for RedC. I'm 62 and vetting much the same numbers and frequency for the past five years or so.

    I am signed up to RedC and any survey I've gotten I've been told I can't do because it's not supported on mobile devices and you would think this day and age I would have a laptop or tablet but I absolutely hate technology and I just about know how to use my phone so I haven't bothered buying a laptop or tablet. Have you gotten any surveys that you can do on your phone?

    Has anyone used the Starbucks vouchers from Swagbucks? Wondering if they work in Ireland and if they can be added to the starbucks app somehow.

    Has anybody got a plausible reason for the ridiculous question on some surveys that asks what super power you would choose and why?
    I'm tired entering the same nonsense every time.
