    I tried Vivatic last night. Spent 20 minutes answering questions about quakers snack bars, my political compass and a few other topics only to be told that I didnt qualify for the survey!!

    I'll be giving them a bye.

    This has happened to me a few times with them. It's one thing to be screened out after a couple of questions but to go through nearly a whole survey is a bit much!!

    I don't wait for email invites, I go on there every now and then during the day to see If I can do any surveys. Recently I havnt been able to do a survey for about a week now, I have had several surveys available but I didnt qualify for most. Waiting for a pickup soon.

    Quick update: I just been given 3 surveys in a row for £1.00 each. yay.

    The amount of surveys has been slower, I'm not even getting 1 a day now and even then I don't qualify for all. Is it maybe because they didn't expect us MSE'rs religiously filling out the surveys to get the extra cash?


    I'm guessing they heard me :p, 5 surveys for £1 each today.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I don't wait for invites either, I was just remarking that I hadn't received any. I have looked at the website every day in the 3 weeks or so since I signed up and apart from the first day when there were £1.00 and 85p surveys showing, there's never been anything but the 85p SSI ones listed. Having done several of these (and yes I did complete them without being "weeded out") I now have half a dozen fully completed surveys for which I have received no credit. By contrast all three of the survey invites sent to me by Populus in the last 8-10 days were promptly and acurately credited.

    Unfortunately, since I didn't go into them in the expectation of tracking being ignored, I didn't note down dates, times and serial numbers to pursue a claim with the site operators for their failure to credit me, so I suspect it is now difficult to get the credit for effort already expended when I can't tell them which surveys I did :(

    Another question - Which of the additional survey sites that pay in vouchers or 'competition entries' that Vivatic invite/expect you to sign up with through their site (e.g. Opinion World, Valued Opinions etc.) are really worth the effort, and does signing up for them make more actual cash-paying surveys available on Vivatic?

    I've signed up with the additional site Valued Opinions on Vivatic - I've had a few surveys in the week since I've signed up (3 I think), but I've been thrown out of about 4 more.
    They pay between 50p and £1.50 but I'm sure those I've completed say they will pay in 28 days!
    I've just logged in and seem only to have earned£1! Not impressed bearing in mind that this not actual money but shop vouchers and I can't claim until I've got up to £10!

    A few points;

    1) Don't bother doing the SSI (85p) surveys, just wait for the NewVista Live and Populus Live surveys to come up. They should refresh twice a week according to the FAQ, and do in my experience. Sometimes you'll only get 1 done, sometimes I can get 5 or 6 done, all depends on the topics of the survey and luck. But worth checking daily to see if these ones are up.

    2) They definatly pay, only had one problem when I was due to be paid on a Thursday before a bank holiday but got paid the following Tuesday.

    3) I can't remember which other sites are recommended by Vivatic, but both the two that were mentioned are good. In particular OpinionWorld. OW is quite like Vivatic, they send you some invites, but it's best to go in everyday and check and you will get more that way. Payment is 10.00, which you can get in a couple of weeks and it pays to PayPal accounts INSTANTLY.

    Probably because they have been there for days and are due to end today. So a lot of people will have already done them.

    Wait until the next ones appear and you may have more luck.
