    Just had my payment of 9.80 go through to my paypal account, paid exactly when they said they would. Requested another payment due to me but asking me to update my profile with nat insurance no.

    I joined Vivatic after reading this thread. I've done a few surveys and they have been credited to my account. However, the 85p surveys have not (I have done about 4 of them). Any ideas?

    Also, I did a New Vistas survey last night, got to 85% of the survey then they started to ask me the screening questions like what region you live in, postcode, how many cars.....etc, and they said I didn't meet the criteria! :mad: Why can't they do these questions at the beginning?

    I think I will make my £10 then give up on Vivatic.

    I put n/a in the NI bit and got it to work - think I'll get up to the next tenner then leave, as I'm just over the amount at the moment...

    On the site it says this now too:

    By checking this box I confirm and warrant that all and any earnings derived from my contract for services with Vivatic are earned as a self-employed consultant and that I shall take full and absolute responsibility for accounting for and paying all and any taxes, national insurance contributions, social security payments and any other similar duties owed from this completed work in my primary country of residence/domicile to the relevant tax authority. I also confirm that my address, National Insurance/Social Security numbers and PayPal address are entered accurately.

    Same here, I don't want to give NI details online, I have checked the box confirming "I shall take full and absolute responsibility for accounting ...." etc but I don't know if I will be paid.

    I tried to claim my third tenner and got a message that I needed to enter my NI number! for a relatively low payout it seems daft but I guess they have to draw the line somewhere.

  • Requested my first payout this week & still got asked for my NI number, put n/a in the box and it eventually went through. Supposed to be getting paid on the 31st so am just waiting to see if it comes - won't be doing any more surveys from them until it does. & I'll probably drop it once I've reached/recieved my next £10/9ish, only thinking of keeping on with it because my total's a bit over the payout amount.

    I've just done the same, ticked the box but haven't put my NI details in, looks like its going through.

    Yes, I've just requested payment- been asked for my NI number and just put "Not given" - it seemed to go through and says I will be paid 31st March. I was up to £10.25 - took me around 6 days and was hoping to have the lot out but they seem to only pay out in £10 amounts! Today though, I've been sent a mail telling me to do some surveys, but they were all New Vista and Populous, took me ages and each time I was screened out. Beginning to wonder if now I've done a week and got up to over £10, that there won't be any more!

    One thing I wasn't happy about was the fact that they took off 20p for "Paypal fees" - that seems strange to me. As a regular user of both Paypal and Ebay, I know that the whole payment goes into Paypal and then they deduct their fee. I think Vivatic may be trying it on a bit!

    I also get paid by another survey site straight into Paypal and no fees are taken at all.

    Seems odd to me...
