Thanks, MLE007. Trouble with Joe's one is I have no idea how much bonus I should receive so he can pretend I failed to achieve any amount. Not paying what you owe participants because you might not be able to afford their bonuses is bogus, ask me.

I hope someone at PA has not made off with Tina's money. I have just been reading PA's T's & C's and they have no liability to make good our losses, it seems. Screw that, fraud is fraud. Guess the paranoia baton is firmly back in my hot, little hand.

Think PA are milking the interest from all those £6's, MLE007? As you say, that study went on forever and we earned that money. It should be paid the instant it is forwarded by the researcher. It does not belong to PA.

At least some seem able to manage their finances; my £18 has been paid this morning :T:j which, considering how long it took me to do, must have taken that researcher quite a while to go through, I would have thunk.

Should we complain to PA about Tina's bonus yet, think you? :undecided :huh:

Here's a thought! :idea: Should I post this as a Money Moral Dilemma? It would make a change from all the idiotic (made up?) ones they usually have.

I'm with you on Joe, I haven't the foggiest what bonus I got either.

Strange one re. Tina too I wonder how many actually have got their 6 quid? That's mike P sorted for noodles for a good month!

Not if I decide to have the shin cup noodle bowl which is 1.27 for a trough. :eek::beer:

I suspect a whole load of MSErs may have skewed their results

In what regard? If weve qualified for the survey then I am sure they will get a fair set of results.

Also they might want to slightly consider people who do the surveys are likely to do it because they need the extra cash and are therefore unlikely to be those who go around splashing the cash.

Does anyone know where the bonus page is on the new site? I have not had one since it started so don't know where to look but, had it been paid, it surely would be included in my total as before, n'est-ce pas? Thanks.

Smodlet

Thanks, MLE007, just saw that he has paid the £1; no bonus amount showing for me so far.

Mr. £18 now wants feedback on his under minimum £ per hour study for free; he's getting it... Still worth doing though; we do like prompt payers, don't we? Joe, I'm looking at you.

Well worth doing an £18 one especially when they cough up

Smodlet

Yeah but it was 4 hours + so £4.50 per hour max... I don't see the point of PA making "recommendations" if researchers are free to pay whatever they like. They might as well just take that bit out of their blurb.

ETA: Where the **** is our £6?
