    I just completed this for a supposed 87SB and no credit. Will put in a ticket. It's offering us £12 for 4 diary entries over 4 weeks, so obviously not as good as last time. But I'll give it a go. There's also the chance to win an iPad mini and £50 cash.

    I did the last round for £20 - it's turned out to be more of a ballache than anything. The actual task and effort for pay is fine but i've been underpaid for first month, £15 rather than £20. Definitely fulfilled all the criteria. Messaged them a few times to try and sort it out and it's either ignored or obnoxious copy and paste responses. No attempts to resolve the issue. It's not as if i haven't been patient either - 15 and 8 days etc between messages. No sign of payment for second month as of yet.

    I've heard of it before i think it was 20 pounds the last time they were doing something similar

    if its only posting about movie adverts polls etc i don't see much effort in that.

    Personally - I'd say if you want to do it, you can chance it. Fulfil the criteria but don't put your heart and soul in to it. Be aware and prepared for the fact that you might have these issues and might have to send extra messages to resolve/apply pressure. That way, if it doesn't pay off you won't be as annoyed about it.

    Others were posting to say that they got paid fine etc etc so it might be ok. Was somewhat annoying that some of them also asked why people were moaning, we should shut up and it'd be fine. Purportedly a delay if signed up through GTM, Toluna, other dedicated survey sites (esp. GTM) but I signed up through swagbucks so paid directly by Popcorn (emailed amazon voucher) and still had issues - both a long delay and underpayment.

    ETA: Didn't get instant credit for the sign up survey last time either. I put a ticket in and had it credited manually - others didn't and the credit turned up later.

    Survey number when it popped up today was 374479 if anyone wants it. Worth 87SB.

    Just out of interest, has anyone used the popcorn site before? would be interesting for feedback as to whether its worth doing the diary for the £12? or whether it's a waste of time and you struggle to get he money

    I did it last time and got the first £20 as an Amazon voucher, they then extended the it for 4 more weeks which ended recently and I'm waiting for the second £20.

    Thanks

    it sounds interesting so i'll give it a go i'll just have to keep an eye on movie trailers etc now

    i saw one today for the film Selma it wouldn't accept it and putting other in the options didn't help either.
