    I've just joined ciao about 2 weeks ago but I haven't recived any survey's yet. I was wondering how long it takes before you get offered one, I'm not sure weither to bother now after reading the above posts. I also joined pinecone but they said it would be upto 4 weeks before I get offered anything.

    Hi,

    I joined in about the middle of August, and I've not had any surveys yet either! :rolleyes:

    Just got a survery through saying;

    'If you complete our easy 7-minutes survey, you can earn £0,378 for sharing your thoughts and preferences'

    Now what you reckon that 'if' I qualify which doesn't happen much these days, I'll be paid 37/38p as opposed to £378?

  • I spent 20 minutes doing a "15 minute" survey, and was still only 30% way through it when it didn't give any options to answer the question. I couldn't go any further.

    I had to email 3 different places, one of which was the one they had recommended. Guess what? It returned it as "Invalid". Getting really fed-up with them now. - Suzy

    They've just sent me their best one ever.

    "If you complete our easy 5-minutes survey, you can earn £0.17* for sharing your thoughts and preferences."

  • OMG how rubbish are Ciao lately? I've had about 8 surveys now offering me very poor incentive. I've just received an invitation for a survey - £0.10 for a 25 minute survey? I mean, who would waste 25 minutes of their time for 10p pmsl :confused: Has anyone else received these?
