Yep.....I'm with you on this......
D'you really think there are peeps out there that are happily filling these in?

Yes. Ciao is full of cretins willing to do anything for coloured dots and community points. Imagine what they'll do if you dangle a few pence in front of them!

I've opted out completely from the surveys. I don't even get invites anymore.

I swear I have had one of the latest 51p surveys looking for personnel at CIO level at least 5 times in the last week....!!!

I also remember getting a 51p travel survey and getting the same survey from somewhere else the same day for a bit more.

I am hardly on ciao these days, and don't do a lot of surveys for anyone other than valuedopinions and yougov but at 51p for 30 minutes, who are they kidding..!

Yes Valuedopinons are the best in my opinion, I have had more money off them this year than I have had off ciao since I registered, and thats including all the reviews I wrote on ciao!!!!

An all time low with Ciao Surveys - just been offered a whole ten pence for a 25 minute long Personal Hygiene survey. No thanks!

I take it you mean this survey:

We'd like to offer you an interesting opportunity to express your point of view. This time, our partner would like to know your opinions about personal hygiene. If you qualify for this survey, you may get invited for further studies on this subjetc.

If you complete our easy 25 minutes survey, you will be paid £0.10 for your participation and in addition, you will be entered into a prize draw with the chance to win an amazing £25,000.

Just over 20p per hour...almost the going rate for slave labour!

Ciao's website clearly states:

Quote :

By participating in surveys, you will help leading companies make their products even more customer friendly. You can also earn between 1 GBP and 10 GBP for each completed survey.

Liars! Its gotta be against some trading standard law, false advertising, or at the very least its hugely misleading!

Because they use the word "can" I think they have covered them-
selves pretty well.

Absolutely. I use 'can' and 'could' all the time when putting together adverts. In fact, the compliance department insists on it.

Oooooh.....you must be the *BAD* man my mother always warned me about.....

hell yeah!

Firms are too canny to get caught out with those sort of details.

They're only as 'smart' as the people they employ to be their eyes and ears.

Anyone getting those Ciaosurveys.com or something which only pay 10p for 25 minute surveys? When you click into the link, you're taken to a Ciaosurveys page with a very orangey theme. Pay sucks all the time but it seems different to the normal Ciao surveys.

Ahhh, Just got this....do you think the penny is finally starting to drop at HQ ?????

Hello Averilla,

We recently invited you to earn £0.51 * for sharing your opinions on IT in an interesting 20-minutes survey. This is to let you know that thereis still room for a few more participants, so if you haven´t completedthe survey yet, it is not too late and you will win £1,43.

Sounds to me like they are not getting enough respondents and are beginning to see the light !!

..And they let me finish it !!

Why bother even getting them?

Just opt out of the survey aspect.

....Well.....it's quite entertaining at the moment.....but I must admit I've been considering this.

Thing is I'm getting a regular monthly one that is worth about £6 a time for about 25 minutes work and can be even more if you want to invest the time.

Ooooeeerrr.....my eyes have gone even greener than they normally are!!!
Lucky you.........

I have got a £4.50 one

*SOB*....is it your intention to torment me?.....

I just seem to get 10p ones these days with the added incentive (I use the term loosely) of a prize draw entry. I don't think so.

Same for me - the exciting offer of a 30 minute survey for 10p and a daft draw. Sorry but SHOW ME THE MONEY or I'm not wasting my time. Ciao is really taking the pee.
