In the UK I get on average 3 - 5 invitations from Ciao to take part in surveys. When clicking on the link (generally within 4 hours of receipt) I'm already screened out as not needed!

Incredibly frustrating!

Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me?

I don't have that problem. I at least get the qualifying questions. When I first signed up with them I would get a couple invites a month and I would never qualify. Now the invites are few are far between, but I qualified for the past 3 invites they have sent me. As for whether or not they pay, I have to go and see if my account has been credited for those surveys - it should be by now.

I don't know about the UK or even Canada (Yertle) but when I went to sign up in the US. I noticed that there affiliated with Greenfield so I just passed I haven't seen or herd anything good about ether one of them.

I never noticed any affiliation with Greenfield. But I did check my account and it was credited accordingly. 2 surveys at 4.80 each. I have 1 more payment of 4.80 due by the end of July. I'm debating on waiting to hit cashout. Min payout is $5. If I cashout now and then they credit me 4.80, i won't be able to get that money until I qualify for another survey. *sigh* So I guess I can't say yet whether they really pay or not, but i will keep you posted.

hello,

I work with Ciao Spain, and I qualified for 1 of each 3, more or less, but it's true, sometimes when I click on the link within 2 or 3 hours after receiving the email, the survey is completed.

good luck!

that sounds about right for me too

Guys I used to belong to caio before Greenfield took it over. They gave me the option of cashing out right then and there when they let everyone know of the merge.
I've gotten those surveys from lots of different companies that say the survey is closed. You have to wake up in the wee hours to qualify. There are millions like us signing up for the same stuff?

Ever thought about stretching the truth just a litle to qualify for a survey?

I don't think it's right to stretch the truth in order to qualify for a survey. Because when you do that you are taking it away from someone who really would qualify to take it. There are so many surveys that someone is always going to qualify to take one.

I don't qualify for a lot of them but there are some that I do qualify for. I don't think it would be right for me to say I was a homeowner when I rent or drink a lot when I take a drink once a year (alcohol I mean), etc. I just can't see stretching the truth at all But each to their own...
