    These days Caio are a waste of space. If they offer any surveys worth more than 10p they are never available after clicking through.

    I gave up with Ciao ages ago as well - I kept getting screened out, even though I'd done quite a few questions which made me suspicious.
    More like Ciao for now (permanently)! lol
    I'm with Yougov (£33 quid although this is almost two years worth !)
    One poll is a good little site - click boxes for 10-15p but they're fast to do, you get £1 for referring five friends and a £2-odd signing-up fee.

    I apparently must be very unique because I NEVER fitted their profiles and only made 30p in a year!! Adios to them:mad: time wasters!
  • Used to be great but now absolute rubbish.

    What Pigsback is to cashback sites Ciao is to surveys.

    Now they are beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrell altogether with their sharp business paractices,

    just got an invite to do a survey with the subject headed.

    "Guaranteed Ten Pounds for completing this survey"
    and then goes on to say,
    "We recently invited you to earn and in addition, you will be entered into a prize draw with the chance to win an amazing £25,000 for sharing your opinions on Work in an interesting 25 minutes survey"

    Im sure this is the earlier survey that they wanted to pay me 10p for doing, but only in the subject of the latest email do they mention £10 and no where else within the body of the email.

    I think the only thing left to do is unsubscribe. They have actually paid me the £5 when I requested it and over a few years I have got quite a few payments from them.
    But why oh why do they stoop to the their latest tactics?

    lol i agree they are quite low down on my list now, i once got one from them and is asked are you * my name*?
    i clicked yes and they said sorry but you do not qualify for this survey!! so why did i not qualify was it because i was the person i siad i was and i was reading my own e mails

    I get this alot! It's so annoying.

    When I get an email off them, I always delete them. I used to be able to get a few pounds off them - not anymore!!

    They screen you out of a decent paying one then try to pass you on to the 10p one you ignored 2 days ago!! I don't bother with them anymore.
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    I got a survey from them today and in the subject heading it said 'a guaranteed £1 for this easy 40 minute survey'

    but in the body of the message it said it was worth 51p :confused:

    just spent the last 20mins doing a survey that ciao said would take 5mins
    only for it to mess up
    so beware
    ciao says complete this quick 5 minute survey to earn 0.10
    when actually the survey host does say 25mins but i thought id carry on as every penny helps
    grrr
    I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p
