    Has anyone noticed that they sometimes don't get what was offered?

    I'm almost positive I was offered a £1 for a survey I have just completed but it has only registered 80p.

    I will be taking note in future!

    I'm with you on that one - if it was about 'Situations with my Partner'....

    That's the one! I'm sure there have been more but that one was more obvious somehow.

    Another has just popped up 3mins for 25p. Then you read the description and it's going to take at least 10 minutes.

    Going to start noting things before starting and reporting if need be.

    Are people sure it was £1 and not $1? Because that's not uncommon and it would work out about right...?

    Nope it was a £1.

    I've decided to contact and ask as I'm not the only one to notice.

    Don't waste your time on a study about eye movements.

    Took ages to calibrate the screen and then the survey got stuck on the page and wouldn't progress.

    The silver lining on this one is that the researcher has been in touch and wants to pay me something for my wasted time!
