    You have to get up to £10 before you can cash out. Then, as has been said, you get £9.80.
    At the moment there is no other sort of work available on the site, it seems- I only joined about 2 months ago and have never seen the Writing test" but don't know how long this has been the case.

    I was meant to be paid today. Nothing in my account then one of the surveys froze and they've only paid me for one of the two I've completed. I know the bank holidays have made things a bit crazy but their systems seem to crash a lot and people don't get paid for them if they aren't completed.
  • I was due to get my first payment yesterday too but it hasn't gone through. It is at least down as 'processing' which is hopeful.

    Still no response to any of the e-mails I've sent them previously.

    Heya, Heard some good reports about the site so i signed up to it a few weeks ago. I got paid £9.80 into papal, and whilst waiting for that payment to go in, I already earned another £10 so I've requested that too now and am £4 off another 10er. I'd say I easily earn £10 once a week to a week and a half.

    Sometimes I get alot of surveys 2-3 a day and sometimes I wont get a suvey for 2-3 days.

    So far i've had no issues at all with them, they paid me on the day they stated, and I transfered the money from paypal to my bank that same day. It took about 5 working days to go into my bank.

    The writing test has not been available at all since I've joined. I would be very interested in doing it but I'm not fussed too much if it doesnt appear.

    A little info on some of the surveys I've done: Yes alot of them can ask the same or very simular questions each time, which can be abit dull but atleast you know the answers so you can complete them quicker. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I do nearly always leave a comment about the surveys at the end too.
    Some surveys are very quick, I'd say the shortest one I've done was about 5 mins if that. Uually they average for me at about 15 mins, but i have had the odd longer one that take about 20-25 mins. But it all depends how focused you are on the survey, how quick you read and understand the questions and whether you have the answer straight away or have to think about it.

    85p is the minimum pay I've had for a survey and £1.00 if the max I've had. I think these are very respectable since it only takes around 15 mins and usually I do them when I have nothing else better to do.

    I would say I tend to usually check the site (which I have added to favourites bar) about 2 times a day. Usually in the morning and then in the evening. They do send emails letting you know if there are new surveys available.. sometimes there are new ones you can complete which they don't send emails out for so thats why I just check the site myself.

    You click the surveys listed on the site (usually 1-2 will show at a time). You then tap your postcode and date of birth and some surveys ask you to copy the security code.
    Usually one of 3 things will happen:

    1) It will bring up a survey and you will be able to complete it.
    2) It will bring up a survey, but after the first few questions it waill say that too many people with your profile have completed that survey.
    3) It will bring up a message saying sorry there are no new surveys available for you at this time.

    I've only had one survey that had a little bug where it didnt show some of the questions properly but I was still able to complete it and get paid for it.

    They only ask for name, address and email address linked to paypal. The questions usually ask for gender and age but you can usually click the box saying "prefere not to say" if you don't want to give that info for whatever reasons.

    Overall, so far I have to say I really recommmend the site.

    Hopes this helps any doubts anyone may have whether to join or not.

    I was supposed to be paid on 28th too (after waiting 2 weeks since requesting it - talk about slow!) but it's still showing as processing.

    Just wanted to say I have been using Vivatic for a month and I am very pleased with it so far. If you redeem before midday on monday you will be scheduled for payment on Thursday the following week, if you miss the noon deadline on monday it adds another week to your waiting time.

    Also... for those who are awaiting delayed payments, it has been a bank holiday and will be paid the following week. This happened to me the last bank holiday so don't panic, you will be paid albeit a week late.

    I found it quite easy to hit redeems for the first three weeks but surveys have slowed down for me at the moment, presumably due to the bank holidays but keep at it, it will pay off.

    Mine was due on the 28th and I actually got paid, my Vivatic account has not been updated and is still showing the payment as "Processing".

    The only thing that's bugging me with Vivatic at the moment is that I've got 2 outstanding £1 surveys from 2 weeks ago that were never paid and it would have meant I could have cashed out another £10 (£9.80).

    Yes mine has slowed down recently which I also am thinking it's probably because of the bank holidays. need 3 more surveys for another payment request.
