I think mine matched to me was around 2am. My work pc never logs me in properly first time so I have seen there are loads on there but when I log in properly it's only those I'm eligible for left.

Is it normal for Prolific to take a 'cut' with you withdraw?

I just withdrew £10 odd from them and then I got

Prolific Academic Ltd. has sent you £9.55 GBP.

Yup, they do. 2.9% of you payout plus 20p per transaction. They do offer payout by Circle, which is free. Testable Minds charge for Paypal payouts too.

I only use Circle for payouts from Prolific. They pay out quite quickly and it avoids losing money. They do tell you somewhere in their terms that Paypal will cost but I seem to remember it took me a lot to find the information. Had never used Circle before that but seems to work well. Only thing is, unlike Paypal which is instant transfer to your bank Circle can take up to 2 hours.

Hi everyone, Prolific Academic are great, as others have said, the surveys are interesting and it doesn't take long to build up payments in your account.

I have a referral code https://www.prolific.ac/p?ref=5ES3SYKZ if anyone would like to join and would be kind enough to use it :)

Anyone else in the same boat? Been back at 'work' for 3 months now and still not had a single study from Prolific (well I have had 2 but those were only down to profiling questions). Keep emailing them and they say they're trying to fix the problem and will be in touch. But seriously... wasted so much time in the last 3 months checking for studies.

Think I'm going to ask if I can delete my account and rejoin :confused:

Just counted up and since the 24th June when I came back from holiday I've had 10 studies for a total of about £8
I leave the laptop running in the corner when I'm home with the distill monitor to ping me if one comes up.
The current rate of studies /pay is well down on what I used to make on there

In 3 months the only pings (45 sec/1 min checks) I'd had were for screener questions - not one study

But funnily enough, in he last 30 minutes it's been pinging away - 4 studies completed! Fingers crossed that's it fixed and can finally make some money!

Think I might be the wrong demographic at the moment. Only had about 4 over the last couple of weeks. Wasnt too sad before that though.

I've had six studies today - happy days :)

Have you got a page monitor on set up? The studies come and go so quickly. There was one earlier that had 150 places. I made the mistake of going for a wee before I accepted it - it was full by the time I got back, and it wasn't even a particularly long wee ;)

Yes, I do have one set up and leave the volume up loud if I'm not sat at the PC so I can hear it. Guess I'm just unlucky at the moment. I have had some good weeks with Prolific so I won't complain as it seems to vary week to week.
