    Hi

    I hate it when that happens. I do surveys (not very successfully) for Ipsos and Valued opinions and one or the other of them are the same (sorry I can't remember which). It kind of makes me wonder if all my time spent doing those stupid surveys is really worth the paltry rewards.

    Keep hearing loads about this "Pigsback" so may check that one out.

    Good luck

    Just checked my "Online Earners" spreadsheet and it's Valued Opinions that play that trick - or another one is they get you to answer loads of questions then say you don't have the right profile! What! I've just completed half a bloody survey!

    Ciao used to be really good. I've had over £150 from them all told. But now I don't even bother - the money is rubbish and I never fit the profile after answering loads of questions.

    I just delete the email without looking at it now

    I agree about Ciao, I will be completing no more. I have just filled in 2 questionairres each after about 20 questions they say "sorry you do not qualify!!!"
    They appear to be getting all the research for Free :mad:

    For anyone thinking of joining I would say "AVOID"

    Thanks guys n gals, after reading this I won't be joining up with them.

    I've just joined up with Online Opinions but have only done 3 surveys so far each at £1 and they weren't very long either! Have to do 47 more before I get a cheque for £50. I hope they pay out after all that!

    I don't waste my time with Ciao anymore. I found that I was giving them alot of information & then I didn't qualify for payment.

    A total waste of time.
