Payments are made on Tuesdays and Fridays, and you can only do one cash-out at a time - so it is best to cash out shortly before the payments are made.

You can cash out any time can't you? I did a survey at 7:15 this morning that paid £7, it was approved within a minute of me finishing it, and I had cashed out to Paypal and then into my bank by 7:45!
I think that since Circle went and Paypal became the only option, cashing out became instant.

Don't you just hate it when you get a nice paying study but due to circumstances you can't do it.
Had one today around 15:00 it was paying £5.25 on parental issues. All it was watching videos and giving a viewpoint.

Really wanted to do it but i was busy at that times. Hate it when that happens!

You should probably be glad you didn't do that one. I did, and it took me almost two hours to complete!! Lots of buffering, slow loading pages, 14 videos to watch, and after each one you had to write 5 sentences on what you'd seen and how you could apply it to your life!! £5.20 seemed a pittance for that when I'd had a £7.00 study this morning that took 20 minutes!!

I agree...I did that one and found it took much longer than they estimated, even without buffering or slow loading pages

Did anyone else do this (rather long and tedious) survey and get a DNS error right when they clicked 'Submit' ?

As far as I can tell the error was generated from the remote server, and have raised a ticket about it, but would be interested to know if I'm right and it was indeed an issue with the survey.

Yes, had the same problem as you.

Same here on the buying priducts from abroad survey.

Thanks both. Can I ask, did you submit your survey with "NOCODE" or just abandon \ return it?

I've only been with Prolific a couple of months, and would hate to see my account banned or put on some kind of restriction, for a technical error beyond my control.

Me too! I contacted the researcher.
