When is 30 minutes not 30 minutes?

When filling in a Ciao survey!!!

I have just done a 30 minute survey on food, mainly cheese things. It took nearly an hour and half and to make things worse right at the end after filling out a really horrible table that involved constant scrolling back and forth, it asked for a link code......what ****** link code?

So I refreshed and it wiped out all my answers.

Refusing to redo it and wanting my £2, I simply ticked all the boxes in the first column.

That is really going to be helpful to them isn't it!

Anyone else get this one?

No, I didn't get this one. I went months and months without a survey, then I got 3 in the space of a few weeks! I qualified for 2 of them, at £1.35 each, which was something!

I remember getting one from some company with loads of questions and having to selecting one on each row of a very long list.

Can't remember the pay but that probaly only took about 30 mins. 1.5 hours is a bit mad...

It just took so long because the table wouldn't fit on the screen so I had to scroll back and forth, and they don't make the lines easy to follow.

I recently did an hour one and got £15 for that. Hardly any comparison.

I guess I should keep quite about the survey I (apparently) did in April which gave me £3. The problem is I don't recall doing the survey. Don't tell anyone or they might ask for the money back (or maybe I was sleep-typing when I filled it in?) Razz

Back to topic now... I've never filled in a survey on Ciao which was supposed to last 30 minutes, I never get that far, maybe about 10-15 minutes before I get kicked off because I don't fit the profile of respondents, or even that there are enough people with the same profile as mine who've already responded.

Yep, that sounds about right.

the initial prfile chceck should be a handful of questions, no more.

If anyone here bothers with Ciao surveys after all the tales of non-payment, ages spent and then being botted, no links at the end etc, then they deserve all they get for being stupid.

Email Ciao about it. I had one that kept doing the a month or so ago, so I emailed. They gave me the money 'for trying'.
