Vivatic - Any Good?

Hi, I joined Vivatec recently (before reading this thread
)and managed to get a writing test, which I stupidly messed up because it was too short. Please could anyone tell me if the writing test will come up again, ie I can have another go or is that it?
Also, on average how long is it taking people to reach £25?!
Many thanks!0 -
Thanks for the reply JDpower, gives me a little bit of hope0

I wouldn't get your hopes up with this one.
I signed up back in 2012.
They failed to payout, they might of changed since then. But still, i wouldn't trust them so quickly. Not to mention they don't really let you do anything other than offers.Luke, i am your father:beer:0 -

I unsubscribed from Vivatic's constant emails trying to sell me stuff, and so did not remember to log in as regularly (and if I did there were never any surveys to do). Consequently, when I logged in last week I found my balance of £13 has been wiped (they say they emailed me a warning - they didn't) and although I sent them a polite request to have the funds reinstated, I have had no reply.
I've used them for about a year and was doing reaonably well, until the surveys started to dry up and the payout threshold was upped to £25.
I don't advise anyone to sign up with Vivatic; poor, or non-existent earnings, lack of surveys so you cannot get to the payout threshold and then basically stealing any small amount of earnings we can make!
MSE should perhaps check how their reputaion is being used here, as the previous poster says - their "feature" on this MSE thread is certainly not an endorsement!
Avoid!
As an update- Vivatic have still ignored my emails, even though I politely requested my account be reinstated as I had £13 in it.
I have just reread this whole thread and all the negative comments about Vivatic are, unfortunately, true. It's just another site that takes your time and effort, charges companies for the survey results, then gets away with paying us nothing.0 -
the last three surveys i completed with Vivatic never got credited to my account, even though it said it would update. You cant find out why its not been credited I'm getting a bit fed up with them!0

Having recently signed up to Vivatic myself, I've found that getting payments credited to my account rather tricky. At first, I completed several surveys but never got the payments.
However, there is a method which seems to have solved this problem:
1) When you click on a survey link, such as SSI, you're often taken to a pre-screening page before the survey itself.
2) If you're screened out, either before or during the survey, you'll probably see a message telling you 'Sorry, you've been screened out, but we'll take you to another survey instead', or something to that effect.
3) If you proceed to a complete another survey without having been taken directly to it through the Vivatic site, you won't get paid. That's what happened to me.
4) In sum, only complete Vivatic surveys if you're taken directly to them from the Vivatic site. Don't take a secondary route.
Hope this helps.0 -

I have been a member of Vivatic for 1 month now. I am very unhappy and extremely disappointed.
So far I have earned £19.60. However, Vivatic promise to give a £2 sign up bonus just for registration. To get this bonus all you have to do is verify your email address by clicking the link in the welcome email they send you. Sounds simple right?
Except I never received a welcome email with link. So I used the contact form to enquire if they could send one to me so I could receive the sign up bonus. No response.
During the last month I have completed 11 surveys for which I have not been credited. That's about £8 worth of surveys and about 2 1/2 hours of my time for which I have not been paid. Each and every time I used the contact form and each and every time I received no reply. It states a reply will be sent within 3 working days. I've been waiting a month. The sign up bonus plus the unpaid surveys equals around £10 that they have not paid me. And in total I have used the contact form at least 10 times. I have not had one single response.
The amount of money a site like this generates for its owner and they can't even pay someone to respond to messages they receive. As soon as I get to £25 I am cashing out and won't go near this site again. There are several much better sites out there and they actually respond to their members enquiries. And like many others here I have spent 20 to 30 minutes completing surveys only to be screened out on the final few questions or for the survey to crash. 2 surveys screened me out after I had answered every single question and I hit the submit button!!! Explain that to me! I would have used the contact form but what would be the point? They don't reply. Over all impressions .... Poor screening process, glitchy, twitchy surveys, plenty you will complete without payment and ZERO customer service. Compared to other similar sites I would give Vivatic 3 out of 10.0 -

So, in short, I'd suggest just sticking to those sites to get to your payment threshold0
