Onepoll takes it's quirkyness to the next level

flicks

Onepoll does always seem to pay out eventually but I have commented a fair few times on it's rather strange ways and yesterday it seem to have moved on to the next level.


In the past payments have been slow and when you fall about 10p short of the payout target the available surveys seem to just vanish without rhyme or reason.


Yesterday I was on £39.80 and low and behold 1 survey was sitting there for 10p so I done it expecting there to be nothing when I went back to overview, but there they were, 2 surveys sitting there which had just appeared both for 15p!


Onepoll I LOVE YOU! All is forgiven. So I clicked on the first one and it said the maximum amount of responses had been received. Blimey that was quick but no matter I will do the other one. Clicked on it and got the same message.


What can I say about how fast Onepoll members are at answering surveys. 2 surveys reached the maximum participants in I would say under 15 seconds.


Anyway, there has been nothing for me today as was to be expected so I went to give the a gentle nudge on their Facebook page as this often yields results.


It looks like the ability to start a new post has been removed!
Although people can still comment on Onepoll's posts the one at the top was very serious when I looked and I wouldn't have wanted to mention money underneath that one.


I know they have had, (and are obviously still having), cashflow problems in the past but why do they not come clean instead of treating us all like idiots?


I don't doubt I will receive my £40 eventually but I would be more understanding of their problems if they told us exactly what was going on.

I think the 'maximum participants reached' message is just a standard one they use when they have temporarily stopped you from completing surveys. It's not unusual in my experience to be on £39.90 or thereabouts, have a big list of surveys on my page and every one of them gives me the 'maximum participants reached' message when I click on it. I wouldn't be too worried about this and I think, like you say, you will miraculously be allowed to complete a survey soon and will get your payment.

I've been stuck on £39.95 for a week now - getting frustrated with the 'maximum participants reached'

I managed to get to payout today, without too much trouble. I have had the problem in the past of being stuck on 39.80 or something but this time seemed ok.
How long are they taking to pay at the moment?

I get screened out of most surveys and I'm only on £23. I think they want people with children and I don't have any so I constantly get screened out

It usually takes a week for me but last payment took 3.

Thanks, it's a while since I got layout as got a bit fed up with waiting ages. Interested to see how long it takes these days.

My friend and I complete OnePoll at the same time of the day usually, we are both just a couple of pounds from cashout and we both achieved our last cashout in the same week a few months ago.

I've made £40 from a specific project in between but we are both just £2 apart.

One of us has children and is married, the other one has no children and is in a relationship. We also live in different countries (England/Wales) are in a different age demographic and have different jobs on our demographics.

We are completely different profiles but level pegging (pretty much) on earnings. Perhaps you are checking the surveys later in the day. I get disqualified every single day but I still cashout at least £120 a year.

The trick is, if possible, when you're at £39.80 (or £39.85), take a 25p (or 20p) poll to take you right over the payment threshold, and then you can keep going. If you land on £39.90 or £39.95 the surveys definitely stop for a good while. So frustrating!

I've tried this before - the survey that would take you over the £40 mark is always mysteriously "full".
