Advantages: There must be some, I just don't know what they are...

Disadvantages: dull questions, screened out late in the process

I've been registered for Ciao surveys for many years, but I can honestly say I've only successfully completed a handful of surveys in all that time. mostly I think it's because I just don't seem to receive alerts anymore, I've checked settings and they seem fine, so I don't know why nothing arrives.

It is possible that I do not fit the criteria they are looking for in a particular survey, which is fine as I do accept that I am in a certain demographic and cannot fit all groups!, but I do think that this may not be the issue as on countless occasions when I have started doing a survey for Ciao I find that I reach a certain point in it and am then told that I do not fit the criteria. Very annoying when I'd have just spent 15-20 minutes on the survey already, and nothing to show for it.

When I did get to complete a survey I found them, quite frankly, dull. The questions could be quite repetitive, and the layout quite boring, often with long lists of questions which would sound very similar to each other, and by the end of the page I'd be wondering whether I could really be bothered to continue, was the reward really worth this?

I have decided not, and although I haven't had an offer to complete a survey (though I've gone direct to the site and completed them fairly recently), in a way I'm glad because I don't miss doing them, and I never really gained anything much to speak of out of it either. Someone else might have a great experience with them, and disagree with me entirely of course!

Summary: Not the best survey site I've come across.
