I don't know why there are now more places than there were, but it's far too low-paying to undertake.That one took me ages. I actually did enjoy it, but it should have been better paying. There was a bonus available though, and I'm fairly sure I always made the right choice, after all, I come from MSE forums!Fairly obviously, the correct choice was to pay the minimum payment on any debt that had a minimum payment, and then pay the rest into the debt with the highest interest rate.
I've had my pay out on this survey today but no bonus... I also followed the pay minimum payment and pay rest towards highest rate method.0 -
Yup me too, although I've had instances on other studies of bonus payments being added at a later date of the main payment.Moneybear said:zzzt said:MollyR said:I have been offered this too (by email as well as on the Prolific site) and have ignored it.

Anyone having problems with the Prolific site this morning? I've just completed a study but it won't let me complete it, I get an error message if I type the code or "NOCODE" and if I try to return the study after submitting my reason it just does nothing and shows the study as still active. So whilst it's active I'm unable to do any other studies that might appear. At this stage all I can do is let it time out, and I don't know if I'm going to end up with a black mark on my account.<edit> Panic over, I hope. I signed out and signed back in, and the study is listed under my submissions, showing as "Manual Completion" and already approved.0

Check your account as I had an issue a while back when something wasn't right with my account- can't remember now what it was (I think my account was put 'on hold'). I had wondered why i wasn't getting any studies and that was why. They fixed it for me.bengalknights said:
