a bit tight!

September 17, 2010 by Tracey from United Kingdom

I think this site is not bad in terms of navigation but my issue with them is that they pay tiny fees for very long surveys. There are definately other sites who would give you about 4 times as much for half the time!

Little incentive for comparitively long surveys

September 17, 2010 by Caroline from United Kingdom

I found Ciao very disappointing. I was told initially that the detailed and lengthy registration process (approx 40 minutes) would guarantee I would only get surveys tailored uniquely to myself and speed up the process of completing any further surveys. However, after all this effort I only received approximately 1 survey per week of roughly 20 - 30 minutes duration (Ciao said it would only take 10 minutes)for which I was offered 10 pence. I couldn't even receive the 10p because 20 minutes into the survey it told me I wasn't eligible for this survey! What a waste of time. Save yourself the effort and don't bother with them.

No incentive

I joined recently, but every survey I'm offered is like 10p for 30 mins work. Just not worth it.

Cheapskate

September 17, 2010 by Ian from United Kingdom

I was asked to fill in a set of profiles (basic, careers etc) but didn't get many surveys at first.
After a while, I started to get one once every 2-3 weeks and they paid out around £1-3, which was great. Recently, I started to get lots of surveys (one every other day) for between 10p & 81p, (occasionally more).
I delete most as I don't have the time to do so many and they aren't worth it . The ones I do are very fussy and ask for quite a lot of questions and reject me most of the time. Some of these questions are not always questions like age, status, but actual questions about the nature of the survey. Sometimes, I've been rejected from surveys 30% through them.
This company used to be really good, but now I'm honestly thinking of cancelling.

Another part of the company allows you to write reviews on products & services, which is really enjoyable, and has a real sense of community. You get points for writing reviews and rating others. Not much money though!

Not worth the time

September 17, 2010 by sara from United Kingdom

I have been a Ciao member for a while now, and at the beginning it was worth filling in the surveys because for a few minutes of my time I would receive more often than not £1.00 plus.
However the majority of the surveys that I recieve now seem to be for a 10p incentive,which just doesn't seem worth it at all. I received an email the other day asking me to complete a 60 minute survey and I would be paid 10p, how ridiculous is that.
Also the amount of questions that we have to answer just to see if we qualify for a particular survey is ridiculous too.
Ciao is not a site to join if you are expecting to feel any better off in the money department.
