Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

+1. Either during work time when I can't take that long a break, or at 11pm when I really CBA.

I had a nice £5.35 on NY Eve which was very welcome, and one yesterday on marine pollution (£3.33) yesterday which is a subject of concern of mine so I was very pleased to take part in that.  Other than that it's been a bit quiet.

I've just tried to do a survery on animal sounds, told to wear headphones  but the beep they said to look for was not there.  I was not allowed to go any further in the survey and did not get paid for any of my time.  Is this usual? The beep really was not there  maybe my headphones were not compatible.

I didn't hear the beep either. After the second audio clip I returned the survey, citing a technical issue. So glad it wasn't only me, I was thinking about booking a hearing test!

I've had very few Studies since Christmas Eve,  and the few I have completed include one for 20p, 15p, 45p and 24 pence.  So all low paying.  Even so I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Also, unusual because the 'Baker from Pie, A.I, Select a Scenario'  ones normally approve submission and pay immediately, I have four (£5 each) still awaiting review from around 16th December.  It may be because of a Christmas/New Year holiday delay.  It's just unusual for these Baker from Pie Studies not to approve and pay immediately on submission.

I guess I need to be patient.

I'm am also still waiting for a submission from the AI ones to be approved, but in my case it's just the one study.  Perhaps they're on an extended Christmas break.

I've also not had many studies since Christmas Eve, although I did get a nice £4.50 one on the 28th and I'm on two long term studies that both needed the next part completing over Christmas, so that has kept me busy. 
 
Hopefully it will pick up soon.

Pleased to report I had an influx of £5 payments this morning from AI for those pre Christmas studies.

I'm the same and really very pleased.  All mid-December AI Studies approved and paid yesterday evening as well as another AI Study completed and approved yesterday.

Anyone do the university of Amsterdam one about CO2 emissions.  I thought it was a lot of work for £3 but after a very slow week I'll take anything.  Just wondering if anyone got a large bonus. On mine it said it would've been £1.50. I didn't select it on that round so I got nothing.

I got nothing too, strangely enough.

It was a bit of a stretch timewise without any bonus, especially the backwards thing in the middle.

It does cross my mind that bonuses paid like this against a single answer point, could discourage truthful answers as you can improve your odds by answering a certain way.

Mine would have been 50p, if I'd said 50p was high enough on that round. I doubt many people are having the higher value bonuses "randomly" selected.

Yes, we both got this.  I got the £1.50, OH got nothing.
