I am usually happy with all things Ciao, but this review is on one area that sadly I am not happy about. And this is surveys, or rather in my case the not-surveys.
As we all know (or if you are new to this then this is what SHOULD happen), we all get an invite to complete a survey on Ciao through an e-mail invite with a link to the survey. The survey can be on anything, provided of course that it is just Ciao related or they don't like it.
By clicking on the survey link, you should then be taken through to the actual survey itself. This bit is fine for me, but soon after it all goes a little bit pear shaped.
I start the survery and complete all of the necessary bits at first, in order for them to see that they are getting a fair representation across the entire board ofo Ciao users in terms of who is completing the survey. I ...

Advantages: regular surveys, £5 Minimum payout Disadvantages: low incentive for most long surveys
Signed up to 'Ciao Surveys' when I started trying out several survey sites a few months ago. The site is free to join and open to members over 14 years of age and UK residents for the UK version of the site.
I signed up free and waited for surveys to come in which they did. They are mostly product surveys which are normally the longer ones and there are some general surveys too.
