It doesn't actually say bonus it's just a second amount alongside the study in the submissions tab

I had an email from Prolific about my bonus being paid, it is in my account now .

Smodlet

Still none for me. I think I will contact PA about it as this is clearly not consistent with your experience. Thank you so much again, all who responded. I still want to know why it has taken over 2 days to pay over money made available by the researcher.

Another issue with my account has been addressed so, at the very least, there are technical problems and why are they taking well over a day to respond to emails? Growing too fast and being too greedy, imo.

Smodlet

How about a show of hands? Who is still waiting for their £6? Me.

My £6 has only just been paid today. No notification email but I see my balance has increased by £6 since this morning. It must relate to the clothing study I guess, although can't see that specifically stated anywhere on my account.

Thank you, fabsaver, for that information. I am still waiting. There is definitely something iffy going on if we are being paid piecemeal... I still think someone at PA is swinging the lead.

ETA: Why are PA not responding to support tickets for well over 24 hours, make that 48 now? Have they all gone on hols together? Coupled with the god-awful English on their FB blurb, it hardly adds up to professional, imho.

I'm still waiting for the £6 bonus Smodlet. I put in a support ticket earlier today, no reply as yet.

Thank you so much, Chrisv; at least I'm not the only one, now. I do feel better for knowing that. You're a babe, again. :T

I get the feeling someone is having to manually pay these bonuses (it is far too easy to misspell that word) but why are they taking so damned long over it? Heck, they could just post it as a task for us to do...

Smodlet

Chrisv, may I ask if you have received any response, even an automated one, to your ticket yet? That seems to have fallen by the wayside these days; I have had no acknowledgement of the tickets I have raised for quite some time.

Still no £6 here. I wonder if PA are doing this to try to identify us; MSE is mentioned in their blurb. Sharp practice if they are... PA, if you are reading this, that is not a compliment.
