Yep, been paid so no harm, no foul, right? Would love to know how they think they are going to send a picture when they have no email address but I don't want it anyway so what the heck?

In theory they could email to your Prolific email I suppose. I'm sure I have ben promised pictures by other surveys and never got them though. I quite liked part 1 - ice cream and pretty pictures, what's not to like.

Has anyone had the survey about refugees, paying £1.50? At the end it told you to click on a link but the link didn't work, so I clicked on the 'Next' arrow beside it. I got a couple of meaningless questions, then it said it was an unfinished survey.

Looks like I should have typed the link URL into the address bar - was that just a trick to get my answers without paying out?

Je ne sais pas (dunno) You can either ask if anyone on here received a completion code (didn't get that one myself or I would give you the code) or wait and see if you are paid or contact the researcher to ask if you need a code for this particular survey (not all do)

If it gets to 22 days and you have not been paid or the researcher tells you they will not pay because you lack a code, that is probably the time to contact PA as this, apparently, is not a valid reason for non-payment. HTH.

ETA: OK, that's weird, Biggles' post appears to have disappeared. Weird.

Another weird and wonderful one, you could right click on the image to save it if you wanted to

To be fair they quite clearly said on the post before you needed to right click and choose "save as"....wonder if theres some kind of count for people who didnt do it as part of their survey?

I mailed them right away about the completion link etc and they said it wasnt a problem. No big. As long as I get the £13 bonus, else there will be severe trouble....:eek:

Only one person will get that... If anyone does.

They have to....

Im well are only one person will get it, the point is that it should be me, else I will be chasing after them with a USB filled with Nickelback songs and will play it to them on repeat all for a year. Rargh.

I can think of a gazillion more deserving people myself and Nickelback? Blah! That god-awful, thumping hip hop rubbish, that's what I would use, provided I were at least a mile away at the time.

Only a few moments later, the surveyer replied to my message, apologising, and said it was his error and that I would be paid in full, so I deleted the post. Just too late, it now seems! Sorry.

Smodlet

Glad you were paid, Biggles.
