    Does anyone write articles for them? I JUST missed the writing test at the beginning of the week, and hope to get in on the next one.

    Just curious as to whether it's interesting work!

    ETA - There's already a thread on that.... ignore me!

    You just missed the writing test? How do you know? Every time I have logged in for the last 3 months (pretty much every day) - it just says they've taken it down for now! I assumed they just don't have the work at the moment.

    Can anyone please point me in the direction of the thread for writing on Vivatic?

    I can't post a link since I'm a 'new user' but the thread is on this forum on the same page, a bit further down.

    The writing test was open a few days ago but they closed it early.
  • I just signed up to Vivatic...managed to earn £1 but got screened out of all the other surveys.

    I found exactly the same thing, except only after completing 3 surveys. Only 1 went through ok, the other 2 (upon completely finishing them both) said I "wasn't eligible". Not overly impressed so far must admit.

    I have found the surveys from new vista are fine you get screened out at the beginning if not eligible but the Populus one you get right to the end and then they screen you out, which isnt very good!!

    I find the opposite, I often get to 15% before being screened out of new vista, but I have never been able to do a populus survey. Every time I enter my post code and DoB it says I'm not suitable.

    I'm screened out of some for both companies, but today I had an email saying there were surveys available and managed to do one for each company. I think it just depends on your age, location etc.

    I too have taken multiple S.S.I surveys and not been credited for any of them, i did email them yesterday and to be fair they replied within a day, i've copied their response below.

    Thanks for your email.

    I have looked into this and notice you have been completing surveys through our other partners fine.

    We have also checked the data stored in SSI’s system and unfortunately there is no record of any of your completions.

    Please see below the usual issues that arise.

    There are a numerous issues that may influence you not seeing a credit when you feel one is owed:

    1. You tried to complete the same survey more than once or someone else in your household has.
    2. You have completed more than 4 surveys per partner per day. Due to previous issues with fraud we have had to limit this number.
    3. You completed a survey without first visiting our page http://www.vivatic.com/surveys and clicking on the links. Please ensure you do this and do not bookmark the survey partners page
    4. You have been screened out of the survey at the end and not noticed the survey partner’s message. During busy periods you can be screened out of surveys right at the end. Although it may appear you have completed it the message might not always be clear enough.
    5. The survey may have crashed and therefore the survey partner will not have informed us of the completion.
    6. The survey partner maybe experiencing issues with their reporting.
    7. You are using another website to visit our partner and the survey partner is having trouble reporting back because of this. Please only use Vivatic for the partner you are having trouble with.
    8. You or your browser are blocking cookies for this site which is causing reporting issues.

    In all these instances we are unable to credit you for the completion.

    If you still feel you have not been credited for survey completions due please email us:
    1. The date and time you completed the survey.
    2. The url of the confirmation page (often found in your browser history).

    We can then investigate further.


    I've been taking surveys for years and know how they work, none of those reasons apply and i'm just completing surveys for nothing so there must be some sort of bug in their system in regards to these surveys as i'm not the only person having this issue, anyway i replied back telling them that but dont expect another reply, i'm just not going to bother with the S.S.I surveys any longer!

    I've had the same problem - not going to bother with those surveys again either!
