I used to think IO was a good site and a it of a buzz when I very quickly got my first €10 back in Aug. I chose a Tesco voucher and still waiting for that. I got to another €10 reward ...a lot slower as the surveys werent as frequent. Still waiting for that Tesco voucher too.
It seems that once you start claiming....the surveys are reduced to nearly nothing. I now have €6.50 in my account for weeks and I cant manage to get it to the €10 to cash it in. I havent had an email in so long now but I go into my dashboard to check. There may be a survey there but it's gone by the time I see it.
When I get my next 10€ I will deactivate my account. They are so annoying now.

Well said! Hope you emailed them too!

As a member of the guiding movement (WAGGGS) I too wait and hope each year to see some tents and campfires entwined into the Google logo and maybe a smores game in the campfire representing the 'O' which even the snoopy street fair game has but each year I am disappointed. Although I do feel that people don't realise how large we our organisation is and how influential we can be because not only do we have such a large organisation but we touch the lives of those members families also and this has been recognised by some of the larger organisations like the UN, etc who approach the guiding and scouting movements on a regular basis to assist them with campaigns such as 'Stop the Violence'. As we are such large organisations and cross so many countries we can prove to be very influential in various matters from taking action or simply raising awareness.

So we will wait and hope that when we are celebrating Thinking Day/Founders Day with our activities and guides/scouts own on the 22nd Feb that non guiding and scouting will get the opportunity to think about Lord and Lady BP who held a rally in crystal palace in 1908 with 100 or so boys which has developed into the 2 organisations hosting millions around the world holding that common standard of promising to do our best and helping others while having some fun

ive set up a website www.dataflog.com which splits any money we get with users, it costs 25c per question so if someone searches for you with 4 questions, we get 50c, you get 50c. just another option, www.dataflog.com thanks for the post :) read the t+c here, once you receive over €20, we pay out cash twice yearly in may / november. hope that helps

Don't let's forget teaching job opportunities abroad. I've just interviewed a teacher from Roscommon who worked part time as a milkman just to make ends meet, his education and training have been recognised in Melbourne where he's been working full time for the lat 15 months.

maybe they scan the passes later after you already went through, since the part they rip off and keep also has a barcode on it.

2012-07-16T08:29:37.110+02:00

it depends on the airport, i think.

often in small airports they scan the pass only once, when you enter the gate. not in the actual queue to enter the plane, where they're usually just trying to herd people onwards. here they only check the boarding passes with a quick glance.

if this is the case in your airport, the best procedure is probably to print two versions of the pass with only one of them altered. present the original for scanning at the gate-entry and the modified one later in the actual queue.
remember to partly tear your false document just like the desk official did with the real one.

this eliminates the possibility of them getting you by crosschecking the printed information with the barcode. only way they could catch you is by actually counting the number of people entering through the priority queue. I've never seen them do that.

can't hurt to have an additional modified pass in your pocket, ready to use IF the controls are satisfactorily lax :)

i have not done this yet though, too scared. How did you get caught, dear anonymous?

IRISH OPINIONS ARE A SCAM AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS.
I've earned €30 worth of Amazon online vouchers in Irish Opinions and I've never received them. I've never received any e-mail with codes (even though I receive their other e-mails daily), never received ANY REPLY to my 2 e-mails asking for vouchers and my account history shows invalid codes (000000) for all of them

2012-01-09T15:16:58.890+01:00

They are now screwing people out of their vouchers by suddenly deactivating their accounts of they reach a certain amount without notification and will then ignore you when you go to try and get the issue resolved.

My account was deactivated over a month ago and I am owed £50 in Amazon vouchers and they are ignoring all my emails, contacts through the website etc.

Avoid at all cost.

2011-12-05T19:06:02.801+01:00

I would have to question their integrity as a legit business. I 'don't meet their criteria' or they have 'reached their target' - and this very often having answered a number of questions. They KNOW my details so why send in the first place?

I've just cashed out €50 worth of Amazon vouchers. In the four years I've been with Irish Opinions, I've claimed about €150. Good way to build up my CD collection. The surveys can be tedious and it's definitely not a worthwhile part-time job, but neither is it a scam.

Hi, I have been accepted to do a post grad cert to become an art teacher, I am a mature student who did her degree back in 1988 (yes a long time ago). I am worried that I will leave a part time job I have to go back to college with no job at the end of it. Can anyone let me know if there are any art teachers needed in secondary schools in Ireland and if so how difficult it is to get the job. What is the interview process. I already have some teaching experience in ICT & art in adult education.

I am Sick of Irish opinions sending me surveys and you get 5 minutes into it they tell you they have reached their target amount of participants.My problem with them is that you give them a lot of info in that 5 minutes.Does anyone else think this is fraud?
