    £5.40 tips to add for me today.

    Keep doing the odd bit on prolific but much as I am tempted to cash out at a fiver, I will wait till I have reached £20. :D
    Well done on the tips :T and I'm doing the same with PA ;)

    Absolutely fuming, sorry, but had to let off steam somewhere or I'll never get to sleep tonight:mad:

    Just completed a survey for PopulusLive worth £4. It said it would take approx. 20 minutes but it took longer than that. They have introduced lots of quality control checks within the surveys now and I always pay extra attention to them, not that I don't do the surveys as accurately as I can anyway.

    At the very end it asked for my postcode (requesting a space between the two halves) and as soon as I'd typed that in (definitely accurately) I got a message that I had failed the quality control because my postcode didn't match the one on the landing page! Of course it did, I always type it with a space between both parts!!!! They refused to accept my survey so that's £4 and about 30 wasted minutes work. Plus, they gained loads of information and data from me for free:mad:

    I've fired off an email to them but doubt they'll do anything. I'm £37 towards a £50 payout (the only option the offer) so I'm loathe to tell them to stuff their surveys. If I had only accumulated a small amount I definitely would:(

    Sorry to go on but I'm just so angry:o

    I hope like swagbucks they can look at your survey, see how long you took completing it and how you entered data and credit you!

    nothing worse than spending so long on something for it not credit! why would you not enter same postcode after spending so much time on it!

    if they dont agree, if they are on social media, we can harangue them until they pay you xx
  • £5 Pp payment from SB brings me up to £22. Tempted to count the £99 I got for cashing in my premium bonds, but I don't want to hit my target through cheating! ;)

    ......and b-r-e-a-t-h-e !!!


    Soo sorry to hear that - they are usually v good. I have had it happen a couple of times in oh about two years where they don't let me in at the start - saying incorrect info.


    If you've e-mailed them then you will probably get an answer. Remember that not all the surveys are necessarily their own and mistakes do occur.


    Good luck and hope it all pans out okay for you ((hugs))

    Checking through daily lottery etc sites and... has anyone noticed that an awful lot of the winner's on Ashleigh's daily draw are from the "NE" postcode area? Currently 4 of the last 10 but there hasn't been a day since I started checking in early November that there have been less than 3 in the last top 10.

    Also, in that time, a "Clare" in NE has won three times.

    Sometimes things go a little past 'random' you know?

    lol

    I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    I know someone who lives in cornwall and she won last year, didn't check and missed out.

    I also know of someone from facebook, who did check and claim, but they didn't live in NE.

    It happens. same with FreePostcodeLottery. sometimes the random postcodes seem to be in the same area, but Chris is very honest and it is random.

    but depending how much of a maths geek you are, nothing is ever really random, as using an alogorithm will never ever make it totally random.
