    Yes, several with only one or no places, but one which I have just completed.

    If a study finishes before the end, for example because one of the participants in a group task has dropped out, but the other participants have done everything they were tasked with up to that point - is the researcher allowed to ask you to return your submission, so they can send you a partial payment via the bonus system, or do they have to pay the full originally quoted amount?
    In my experience, they will pay the full, quoted amount, but not necessarily any performance-based bonus.

    Yes, completed 3 this morning and had a bonus payment, strange how payments are still disabled mind you.

    I've had two come through, but didn't get a place on either!

    Only had 3 since last thursday, 2 were already full, completed 1 today. Still have a lot of pending payments from February that look like going to the 21 day threshold.

    I've completed three today, but two of them are only pence;  despite the third being worth £1.88 the total doesn't reach £3.

    Yes cash out switched back on and is working for 90% of participants according to Prolific support and they continue to work on the problem that the other 10% are having.

    I have a tenner to cash out at the moment but I will wait a day or two, because you can guarantee I will be one of the 10%

    Ha, ha, I know what my luck is like.
