    Really? They don't reject from my experience, they will just lock you out of a batch if you mess up too much

    Does anyone do Prolific surveys? They said no Paypal fee over $20, so I waited till I hit $32; now they want a fee. I don't know who Circle is or whether they're reputable. No other survey company charges me a fee, and I'm pissed.

    We discussed this earlier in the week. I haven't done enough to ever mess up, maybe 5 or 10, but they already told me I had made too many mistakes previously. They're flaky, not me.

    Apparently that's their new policy to charge fees for Paypal now. They changed that not too long ago.

    I'm not happy about that either. I kind of stopped doing it now that I heard about their fees.

    On top of the fact that it takes FOREVER for people to pay you on prolific, I've been waiting to get paid for at least a dozen surveys for almost a month. Then it takes several days just to transfer the money once you do get paid..

    they were paying the paypal fee which is probably higher since BREXIT
    paypal also charges a small conversion fee.
    it's only a few percent more. another survey should cover it.
    I'll donate one less survey per month.

    So I'm done with them after this. Even my cheapest survey companies don't charge me a fee.

    Circle is fine. Seems quicker than Paypal, too.

    I haven't had much luck on the Carnegie-Mellon site, and the Stanford site kept losing my login info. They start making my conventional survey sites look good.

    Did you use it? Amazon and Paypal have already proven they can handle my checking account safely.

    I found a few reviews, but I'm not giving my checking account # to one more company. I've decided I'll use Paypal.

    Yeah, I signed up because I am cheap. Only done one transfer but it was quicker than any of my Paypal ones have been. But yeah, super annoying.

    I think they have one but I did it all on my desktop.

    I'm reading it and it says you can sign up for Circle online, then use Circle on the phone to make your transfers. Not sure if you can online.

    EDIT: Oh nvm, Frood did it online.

    I only got $5.22. I wonder what you did differently. Also, is it weird that I got the confirmation for the bonus before the HIT has even been approved?
