No, I ditched them altogether once I'd reached £10 and claimed a voucher
Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
Cleared 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed
Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!2 -
Ah fair enough. They have moved to 1000 reward points which equals £10 apparently. I'm going to try it once to see how long it takes to reach. If too long, may finally have to admit they need to be ditched

Aaahhh, now that's what they had me on. I was getting 100 points per survey, but maybe they will be more generous with their legacy members!

Is anyone else that's doing these AI surveys on Prolific finding that they keep getting a polite ticking off about the quality of the data? Lots of the time they're asking which I would prefer, so I'm not sure how I could be getting that wrong 🤔? I can't decide whether it's programmed to do so after every x studies to keep people on their toes, or if I genuinely am upsetting them 🤷♀️!

Glad I'm not the only one, Ed, though I've had a lot more than that 😬 I have done quite a few over the last couple of days though!

If I am caning them, I will sometimes treat it as a warning, i.e. "you're getting tired, time to finish up". Sometimes, however, the warnings are just inexplicable/arrive the next day etc. still my single greatest source of survey $
