  • Think I've had one for a 35 minute survey.... for 10p. yeah right.
  • I have ben a member since August and did a number of surveys, but none for a while, now they have started coming in again, but my account also says £0.00. I dont know how much I should have so i have cancelled my membership.

    cancelled my account too. I didn't mind doing the surveys when they were actually worth something but 10p for 30mins just ridiculous!

    yesterday was offered a 15 min survey for 1p - not worth the effort
  • cant be bothered with them anymore. they sent me one about hotels for 50p, answered LOADS of questions before they bothered to tell me I couldn't do it! What a con!

    I've also just done the one for 50p for 35mins about Hotels, I answered questions for a good 7to8 mins before telling me I'm not what they want. I've been only doing them for a few months and I've had enough
    :beer: Thank you for helping me save money! :beer:
  • Looks to me like some bright young thing has decided to see at what lowest level the punter will bite.

    10p - 17p - 51p - and tonight 68p!

    A long way short of the regular £1.50 - £2.50 I used to get from 'em.

    If one much respected survey company can pay £4.00 a time for much the same surveys and still be happy with their share then the BYT at Ciao is having a laugh..................and a fat bonus.

    Tried to withdraw my £5.50 today but it seems my e-mail address is 'not recognised' despite 'em sending stuff every other day! Gits. :confused:

    The company has gone down the pan as far as I'm concerned. I'm out.

    I used to do them all the time and managed to build up £100, which I have now cashed out. Not worth the effort with the naff amounts they are offering you now. Most are really borring anyways.
