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.

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

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.

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.

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.
