    Took significantly longer than stated. Would be nice if they could acknowledge that with a bonus payment. I've gotten those a few times in the past - do Prolific require researchers to pay more if the average completion time is significantly longer than stated?

    Just done that one myself and the 5 mins completion time is a joke!!!

    Did anyone try and cash out for yesterday? Hasn't happened for me, hoping it's an everyone issue not a just-me one!

    Yes, me too

    I cashed out late on Thursday in anticipation of them paying yesterday. Not received anything so I assume they did not process it. If I don't get it on Tuesday I'll put in a support ticket

    Aside from that, it was probably the most bizarre combination of tasks/questions I've completed on Prolific so far :rotfl:
    Original mortgage: December 2017, £203,495
    MFW start: April 2018, £201,800
    Mortgage neutral: September 2022, mortgage redeemed: December 2022
    New house, new mortgage: December 2022, £276,007
    Current balance: £217,800 minus £8,300 overpayment savings pot

    Probabilities always fry my brain. Even more so when the survey questions appear to have been drawn out of a hat.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Clearly not true as I was paid for none of them although as far as I was aware researchers can only reject not return them.


    No, I've not been paid for even one of the two I did either. allison445, have you messaged the researcher too? She hasn't replied yet to my second message from early this morning. I think I'll be messaging Prolific anyway as I'm not convinced this was Prolific who advised that she took this approach.

    I have contacted both the researcher and prolific but no reply from either

    I've just contacted Prolific as well. I got no reply from the researcher to my second message and she still hasn't paid me anything. Will let you know if I hear anything back from them.

    Same here. My first payment from prolific, hope it gives a nice bonus to whose ever referrer link I used.
