    Just had a quick look at Vivatic and definitely looks interesting. I'll check it out more tomorrow. I will get myself organised because you are right - better to do a survey for a couple of £ than a few pence.

    Think bed is calling me, so have a good day tomorrow :)

    I'm not bothering with Vivatic any more. They've really annoyed everyone by reducing the amount they pay for surveys. You can earn far more by joining the individual survey sites. Populus, for instance, pays £1 plus for their surveys. Vivatic pays 50p for the same surveys. Newvista pays for the amount of time you spend on their surveys. I recently earned £5 for one survey, and £2.50 each for 2 other surveys. Vivatic would have paid 50p each.
    Vivatic is also offering tasks. Once you've completed 50 you can take their writing test and do writing jobs, however, people who have done this say that the writing jobs need a HUGE amount of research and that the time and effort you put into then is really not worth the pay. The subjects are usually very technical or on things like university courses and you need an in depth knowledge to produce the article.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Dear cally6008,

    Sorry for the inconvenience. Just to let you know, it depends on the client to mark a survey as 'invalid' as it depends on the data of the interview of our panelists. It does not happen every time or with every member and there are different reasons for it, which we have already explained in our previous email. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Another survey at or above the same incentive will be routed to you shortly.

    Thanks

    What do you mean - this survey was marked invalid ?
    Do you mean the survey itself and that everyone who took it would be marked down as invalid ?

    Or do you mean that I personally was marked down as invalid ?
    The application was left on my phone for approx 10 days as requested in the rules.

    Dear cally6008,

    I checked your account, the survey has been deemed invalid, the details are below:

    Invalid

    This survey was marked as invalid by the research firm sponsoring this particular study. Any data collected from your interview was not saved, nor will it be used for data analysis. There may be a number of reasons for this to occur, however it is not a personal reflection but within our clients’ rights to reject data that is not consistent with the remaining interviews.

    Once again, I do apologize for the inconvenience. Should you have any questions please feel free to email customer support.

    Sincerely,

    Joanne Santy

    This is a swagbucks topic

    There are plenty of other topics in the Up Your Income board which discuss the various other survey companies

    Thats funny. Could have swore I read the last two pages and people were talking about surveys.

    I just wanted to offer a little help. There were a few people intersted in surveys and having had a little experience I wanted to offer what I believe is a lot of saved time for everyone, as it's taken me a good few hours to compile the information myself.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!
