    Time of the year again for reconsent but I cannot logon because no code arrives by email. Anyone got similar problems?  
    I had this and tried every way of contacting customer services....
    I finally got a response when I wrote a negative comment on trust pilot.....

    I got banned
    It seems that I had failed one of the quality assurance tests where you have to click the odd one out ie
    Monday, Tuesday, March, Friday - type of thing

    I replied to their email and gave an an assurance that I would take more care in future
    I got a warning and was told to take my time filling in the surveys and then got reinstated

    I don't quite follow. When/where do you "click the odd one out"?

    During surveys there are sometimes quality control questions to filter out robots or mindless filling (clicking through without reading/answering properly). It can be as simple as "Choose 'this answer' from the selection below", or "Choose the odd one out" from a list of named days with a single named month (which is clearly the odd one out).

    YouGov often ask you a question part way through their surveys to make sure you are reading the question and not just clicking on random stuff

    I have no problem with yougov, I answer all the questions even if I don't know the answer they expect

    I have just done another question and answer session

    Watch 30 minutes of the Covid enquiry and 3 minutes of questions 

    That got me another 200 points

    I had this problem and tried to contact CS without success. Like below I added a review on Trustpilot and a month later was asked for some personal details. Finally got a response saying they think (they think do they not know) I have two accounts and have closed the account. Complete twaddle. Completely confused. Really liked using Yougov finance as well.

    Cheers

    Nice one, I get max 1 survey through per week at the moment when it used to be 2-3 a week. Usually the first one for 50 points and they ask if you'd like to do a second one for 25 points. Not had a 200 point survey in ages. Hoping for my yougov pulse devices working properly to provide another monthly income of points.
    Definitely not so many surveys as there used to be, I certainly don't get 1 a week, it's mainly chat now with zero points everyday

    Yeah, deffo seems like its been a bit of a dead period atm. I get a survey maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks at the moment.

    That sounds about right 

    My thanks to the banks for  bumping up the points to 5,000 every 3 months
  • I have been getting 3 or 4 surveys a week, but a lot of the time, the questions are on the same subject matter, so pretty boring really.

    They are - Ylive are similar - but I just think of the £50 as the surveys speed along the process.
