Ciao from Australia

September 17, 2010 by David from Australia

I have been a member of this panel for over 3 months.Initially I thought they were OK because of the number of survey invitations I was receiving.However,it soon became obvious they screen out heavily as I only get to complete and submit for reward about 10%,and sometimes after completing nearly the whole survey.This should'nt happen,as the profile surveys they get you to complete on joining should mean the invitations are targeted to compatible members.Recently I spent over 20 minutes on a survey with an estimated length of 15 minutes before being terminated.I emailed a complaint and received the automated reply promising a personal reply,but despite me sending a reminder,still have not had the courtesy of a reply.For a so called reputable site,not very professional.Also their estimated survey completion times are usually under-estimated.So at a meagre 93c aggregate reward it's no surprise to me that their Survey Police overall rating is as low as 50.8%.

last week i received a survey invite. 93cents for a 60 minute survey. dont insult my intelligence!

this used to be one of the best sites but its gone downhill. i only complete their surveys if they offer a decent amount. i often get technology surveys where they will pay me $10 for 10 minutes of questions and those i dont mind. anything less than $12 an hour and im not interested and thats only if im bored

sad!

I work for a survey company called creations rewards and they work with ciao. a few weeks ago I took a survey on hteir site that was from ciao and of course they never reported it to them. They said theres nothing they can do if ciao doesnt report the survey as completed to them. Im so angry. You would think they wouldnt work with that type of company? Makes me look at this company different.

they're 'aving a laugh!!

This site has got to be a wind up- seriously, I think someone has hacked it and reclaimed it as the joke of the survey world whilst having bound and gagged the real owners.

I hear this site used to be quite good- that it actually paid good money for surveys.

Well not anymore- you're lucky if you get to "qualify" for a 10p for 30 minutes survey (though read that as 10p for 50 minute survey) the chances of getting paid are slim to none, either the miney just never shows or you do about 25 minutes of a 20 minute survey to then be told "unfortunetly you do not qualify,......"

Not even good if you want to waste time. Surveys are long, tedious, repetative and bland.

I said Ciao to Ciao!
