No, I didn't return the study; I just closed the browser tab in which it had opened, and used the link from the previous page to re-open it in a new window.

I've had four Pie AI studies recently, can't say too much about them as we are signing confidentiality clauses but three have been paid instantly or very quickly and the other one is still waiting. I'm hoping this is because it was so brilliant I'm going to get a bonus, I was very proud of what I achieved anyway!theonlywayisup said:
Oddly, these ones have not been instant payment, not that it is an issue.Martico said:Those Pie ones are by far the best ones I've done on Prolific: mostly interesting / thought-provoking, always well paid, always immediate payment

I've just completed an hour-long AI chatbot one (not from Pie, this time) which paid a very nice £15.

I just completed an hour-long AI chatbot one too, MollyR. The £15 will be most welcome. My submission (about 10 minutes ago) is still 'Awaiting Review.' Has yours been approved already, MollyR?0

No, it's still waiting; but I am confident that it will turn up sometime! And it's nice to click on Balance and see "Waiting for approval: £31.31".

Yes - It's lovely when the Balance is so healthy, MollyR. I have this £15 waiting for approval and some Pie ones from 16 December (£5 ones) also waiting for approval.MollyR said:No, it's still waiting; but I am confident that it will turn up sometime!
