Things seem to have slowed down a fair bit this week.

Overnight Study - New

Note you are selected for one of 2 groups at the END of the survey

Update: got assigned Group 1 = short survey and follow up survey at 7pm tomorrow night

Group 2 involves completing short surveys on the hour overnight (higher reward £)

I had this one, and initially took the first survey. However I then got assigned to group 2 and had second thoughts about it. As other posters have said, I'd want more than £7-odd for an entire night of broken sleep as well as the original survey and the follow up survey tonight. It's not like they were asking you to wake up for a second and then go back to sleep, they wanted you to wake up every hour, become alert enough to fill in a survey, and then try to get back to sleep. If they'd offered £40+ I might have considered it but £7 was a bit of a joke so I returned the survey.

I've just had an email from Circle to say that it's being discontinued. Anyone else got it? I've not cashed out for a while but looks like it will have to be paypal again.

I've not heard anything from them.

Does the email say when they will be stopping the service? I'm wary of cashing out now and not being able to retrieve the money!

I just got the email about them closing too - below just in case anyone hasn't got it ye


We are writing to inform you that starting on July 8, 2019, the Circle Pay mobile and web apps will begin the process of discontinuing functionality, as well as support, for all worldwide customers. As a valued customer, who has been using this product to send and receive money, we would like to provide some critical information to help you navigate this change over the next few weeks and months.

What do I need to do now?
If you have money in your Circle Pay account, we encourage you to cash out to your card or bank account immediately. Once your balance is zero, we will automatically close your account. Circle Invest, Poloniex and SeedInvest customers are not affected by these changes.

Why is this happening?
Circle believes that the future of finance will be built on open blockchain technology and that global payments will become reality through fiat tokens and stablecoins such as US Dollar Coin (USDC).

Our goal of creating new global crypto financial services for people to store value, earn money and make payments in a seamless way will be through new wallet services throughout Circle’s products. Circle Pay clarified that vision over its successful 5-year lifespan, but it also largely relies on interfacing with the traditional financial system and untokenized fiat currencies. As such, we believe that it is appropriate to retire Circle Pay at this time. We will continue to work toward connecting every person on the planet through an open financial system built on crypto assets and blockchain technology through fiat tokens and stablecoins.

What is the timeline?
July 8th, 2019: Adding money and sending money will be disabled. You will only be able to cash out funds back to your card or linked bank account.

September 30th, 2019: We will fully discontinue all support for Circle Pay. You will not be able to log into the product or access your account. We encourage you to cashout before this date.

Who to reach out to for help?
If you have any questions about this process, please visit our Help Center or email us at support@circle.com. Please note that we will be prioritizing support for customers cashing out to their bank or card effective immediately.

From all of us on the Circle Pay team, thank you for making our experience such a special one and for the lessons we’ve learned along the way to build an open and inclusive financial system. It would not have been the same without your passion and dedication to our product.

Thank you,
The Circle Pay team

Yes I agree. I would likely return it if I got this second group.
I think this needs to be reported to prolific as the reward does in no way compensate for working during unsocial hours/ disturbed sleep. This is not fair compensation for anyone taking part.

That's disappointing.

Can someone tell me how much you lose on a Paypal cashout?

Is it 10% and 20p?
