Do PA still have a minimum threshold for fee free pay out? My balance has just gone over £20...

£5 min - but you pay paypal fees, over £20 and there are no fees.

Thanks Both! That's good, I've got one survey pending so once that comes through I'll cash out :D

Re: Earn money with the fantastic folks at Prolific Academic

Just wondering at what stage folk would chase up researchers about studies that haven't been reviewed/credited yet? I have one awaiting review from 20 March and one from 24 March.

I'd be chasing both of those up now. I usually give it 7 days & then send a message to the researcher. I'm pretty sure that Prolific said you should chase after that time earlier in this thread too.

I've one from 24th March too

Mentioned earlier in the thread but I really like this site. It's well run and decent surveys which are different from the norm.

I wasn't going to chase, but I will now after reading this. I've had pending since 23rd March. I don't particularly want to go on using the site unless I know all studies will get reviewed.

Cheers.

Re: Earn money with the fantastic folks at Prolific Academic

Of course, I contact the researcher today kindly asking when the submission will be reviewed. Not long after, my submission has been declined.

Quite surprising considering I have never had any surveys rejected before by survey websites.

Anyone think this is a case of spite for being "impatient" (although it has been two weeks).

Email the researcher in case there was a technical error of some sort.
I did that with one that was rejected and was told by the researcher there was a technical error as my answers were not submitted.
If for some reason it timed out or your completed survey did not get through to the researcher properly then it would be rejected.
Could be just that. Worth double checking even though you sent a message already asking when it would be reviewed

I just had one rejected too, the InSciOut survey 6. I've emailed the researcher. Was that the one you had rejected too?

Re: Earn money with the fantastic folks at Prolific Academic

Just had a survey on jokes. It was one of those without a link to click or arrows at the end. It says responses have been submitted but last time I had a survey like that I didn't get a completion code. I clicked the no code button but that can override the code if there was one. Am never sure of the best thing to do with these studies.

Re: Earn money with the fantastic folks at Prolific Academic

I can see lots of studies when I'm not logged in but when I am there is only one there that I don't wish to take part in.... is that because I'm not eligible for the others and it's automatically removed them for me?

I think it does just remove the ones you aren't eligible for. Also I think sometimes the older studies that have already been filled are listed before you log in. Today was the first study I've had in a while. We seem to be in a quiet period with hardly any studies.

Yeah I did 3 two weeks ago and only had one since, I'm sure there will be some come along soon they're quite quick for the pay out :)

Re: Earn money with the fantastic folks at Prolific Academic

It has been quiet, but I'm sure it's to do with the academic year and the fact that most researchers on the site are based at a university. Universities go very quiet over Easter.
