I've got up to a friendly message saying:

Can't log in, can't send support a message, can't access my money - nothing!

I got the same on Firefox but could log-in on Chrome.

I cleared site and browser data as required by the help section for this issue but that didn't work. I've sent a ticket to ask if they've had any other complaints. It looks like an issue.

Unable to login to it this morning. Some PEC-AS-ERROR. Lucky I cashed out yesterday. But still have 20£ waiting to be approved. I advise anyone using prolific to always immediately cash out once you reach 5£. Look at me me, case in point, I can't login to prolific.

I can't log in on Chrome or Firefox. and cleared cache/cookies to no avail. I've sent them a message too. Hopefully they'll sort it out quickly.

It looks as though they're aware, I've had a reply that they're working on it.

Cool. I am back in on both desktop and Mobile and got one survey but had to return it as I couldn't remember the convoluted instructions of the game at the beginning as I forgot to screenshot it.

Working here again too, they sent an email saying the problem should be fixed now :)
Did you raise a support ticket with them? I may make a note of how to do that (wthout the ability to log in) the next time this will enitiably happen or they decide to ban me.

Also late to the party on this one. Joined 2 days ago, £10 banked from a couple of hours doing simple surveys that didn't require recordings or videos. Happy days, seems like a decent earner

I had my best month in April with Prolific too, £71.45 and that is without installing the extension thingy.

Prolific was pipped at the post by Qmee though, £74.22
Qmee for the win :D

Is Qmee similar to Prolific?

Do you do any survey you can with Prolific to get to that sort of money? I've only done simple ones so far as was a bit unsure about videos and recordings and whether they'd be straightforward.

It's not just about the money though, I had to uninstall Qmee as it was quite boring. I think it has screeners as well which are detestable. Why on earth do I have to repeat so many questions again and again. Surely, any company that makes you do screeners above the initial one you do on application, means their software is crap and or they are lazy and have bad processes. With prolific, they will add more questions to their About Me which you then answer once! Beautiful system. Everyone should copy this. Secondly, if there is a complex study, then you can run like a 5p / 10p screener with 1 to 3 questions to get your exact demographics to a T. I'm glad Qmee was great for you, but you will probably agree that Prolific's Studies (not surveys) are way more fun, even when we are swearing at them for making us bonkers sending us studies with 1 or 0 places and all the other issues. Unbeatable fun and make decent cash on the way and not to forget it really helps research students, PhDs to get their research done using us as guinea pigs. I'm sure you didn't come for an argument and I am happy for your gains. !

Hi @GlennG

I just do whatever surveys pops up with Prolific. April just seemed to have more surveys going on in it. I did do a couple of bonkers surveys that paid about £14.50 each but that is not usual to me. It seems that the more you do the more you get. Keep going and do everything you can. Nothing is difficult, you will be more than capable of doing any survey that comes your way. I have also had some three part surveys. One part every month or so. That adds up nicely.

As for Qmee it is just a generic survey site. Lots of surveys on what you buy at the supermarket. Really easy stuff. Once you get used to it you can see what is likely to be of value or not. So to answer your question it is not like Prolific, it is easier.

Keep on going with both of them and you should see results.
Good luck and all the best with them.

Cheers,

An-na :)

I keep seeing Qmee knocking about on these threads. Must investigate.
