Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

How annoying - just reserved a place on a study that was worth over £10, and when I clicked start it told me the study was full! What's the point of the 'reserve a place' thing then?!

I should tell 'em, mate.

One did that on me but was down to the last place so I suspect a couple of people had clicked on at the same time. It told me there'd be more places if anyone didn't complete in the allotted time, so I refreshed a few minutes later and my place had reappeared.

This one showed all the places as available when I clicked on it, so I'm guessing there must've been some sort of error. Shame - I wanted that £10!

Did anybody do the Tong Wang one with the "average £3 bonus"? "Make judgements and guess", that one. I got £2.67... Better than a slap in the face with a frozen fishfinger, I suppose.

I calculated a weighted average number of other people for each round and used that as my 'guess' - ended up with a £3.06 bonus so the average £3 bonus sounds about right to me :T

Morning all ... I only joined Prolific this week but am already up to £6 in my pot, so well impressed with myself and the system.

Do you just wait for surveys to appear, or is there a way to trigger more popping up on your page?

I just refresh as & when.. I know others have toolbars or something on their browser for alerts but I do mine at work so don't install anything :rotfl:

there is an extension you can install onto your chrome browser, though I find this doesnt pick up that many surveys and those that it does are mostly full. You are better off just refreshing the page.

I cashed out yesterday, thinking they wont !!!! it up and itll be in today, thus far - noooo. So inept.

£10.82 study but opened it and told me I needed edge or firefox (didn't see that in the description, as there was not one).. begrudingly returned, although the average completion was 115 mins :eek:

That's annoying I've only ever had a cash out not come through if I've requested it too late on the same day
