    Argh!!

    Same thing has happened to me! Don't know if I'm glad its affected everyone or not... (how will they ever rectify so many different accounts and balances???) I emailed them this morning about it, and had a reply from a lady called anita saying sorry for the inconveniance and she's forwarded my email to the technical department.

    I can live with losing my 3.00 balance BUT a month ago I requested a big payout, and not only have I not received it, but all record of me ever having earnt it/requested it, has disappeared.

    Grrr....ditto here. My £20-something has gone too :( Keep our fingers crossed, and lets hope we all get it back !!!

    By the way - when you request the money, do you HAVE top enter your bank details ? Or can you get a cheque sent to you ? I went to withdraw it the other day (typical) and said that I needed to enter my bank details, but if glitches like this are happening I'm not sure I want to....

  • same here - no money in my account and the account has no record of the surveys I have completed either. I've emailed them too. It must be a technical hitch.
    :D

    Maybe they are saying goodbye.

    The word ciao (pronounced somewhat like chow, and occasionally misspelled as such) is an informal verbal salutation or greeting, meaning "goodbye"
