That's rubbish. It's an option that researchers *can* use but it's not automatic.

I joined in June and have ~£200 of payouts.

Would mind inform which sites are you using for surveys ?
How much time involved aproximately to get around £200 ? thanks

Prolific does screen you out after 10 surveys.
They believe in the "Non-Naivety" theory which claims that people's responses become less valid after 10 surveys, hence they have the option for researchers to screen out people once they have done 10 surveys.


Therefore do not do any of the low paid surveys!
If you do 10x50p all you will earn on Prolific is £5.
Only do the high paid surveys. Lets say if you do 10x£5 surveys you can earn £50.


Don't make my mistake and do the 40p and 50p surveys, I will be struggling to make it to the £5 pay out sum.


They introduced this screening option in March 2016.
Just wanted to give you all the heads up.


Anybody got any good survey sites that pay well per hr?

50p per survey is rubbish....
You might be better off doing other works ....

That's just from Prolific. Time is difficult to estimate as each survey has been from 2 mins to over an hour long.

Thanks for the "polite" reply.


It is an option they are pushing more and more.
They are also looking into possibilities ( in the future) how they can possibly screen out people who have done lots of surveys on other sites, to preserve the validity of their data.

It's this bit that's rubbish:

If you do 10x50p all you will earn on Prolific is £5.

I have been a member for half the time you have and cashed out over £20 nine times (and I'm still getting surveys). Sure, things may change in the future.

I don't see how they'll have access to other survey sites member details without their agreement so they'd have to either ask it as a screening question or do something dodgy.

On Prolific, I've only ever been screened out a survey once and that was at the start of the survey, not after 10-15 minutes like is common on other survey sites.

It sounds like your assuming it's either a choice between doing low paid surveys or high paid surveys. You can do both.

Only the minority of surveys pay as high as £5, so you won't do many surveys if you're only prepared to do the high paying surveys.

Apart from Prolific, the only survey sites I know that pay well per hour are-

PopulusLive
Newvistalive
Pinecone Research
Panelbase.net

On Prolific if you're screened out you generally don't ever get offered the survey - I think that's what the poster is talking about.

Log out and see how many studies are listed then - it'll make you cry!

Unfortuntly many survey sites are not worth, they either let you answer lots of questions and decide you do not fit (even though most of time they knew that through information you already suplied) or they decide that the survey is full. A lot of the times they also lie about the length of time it takes to complete.

Only sites I really like are onepoll, populus live, new vista, prolific academy most of the rest are pretty rubbish.

Here we go again! I've been with Rewarded Opinions for a while, this is the latest name that they have used. Suddenly, after requesting payment in August, nothing. After sending emails with no reply I phoned but it seems that it's no longer their phone number. The person I spoke to said they'd had a lot of calls but he knew nothing of the company, said the company he worked for was Global Data! Not sure if I believed him but what can you do. Looking at Survey Police, there were a lot of similar comments. What a con, and this seems to happen more and more. Has anyone got any suggestions, I'm fed up with doing these surveys for nothing.:

Which Rewarded Opinions site are you with? According to the thread on MSE, there are two sites with the same name.

www.RewardedOpinions.co.uk and www.Rewarded-Opinions.co.uk
