    4 Stars Ciao: Beta than Ever! 23/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy To Use, Good number of updated surveys available. New ones daily.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some interface niggles

    I remember the old Ciao, probably like many of you, and always thought it was in a different league to other sites in terms of the surveys it offered. There was always more variety, more surveys that fitted your profile and they seemed far more in-depth than the likes of other companies. Invitations varied from 2-10 per week depending on whether you fit the profiling requirements (which always seemed to be quite diverse), and the subject matter was always interesting and relevant, anything from Banking to Baby Food. From what I remember, the payment rates were also very reasonable for the ... more

    1 Star The joke that is Ciao Surveys! 02/03/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Irritating, time consuming, no rewards

    Right let’s start at the beginning. I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who doesn’t know what Ciao is, especially as you must be connected to the site if you are reading this review, but just in case I’ll tell you. Ciao is a review site which is similar to Dooyoo but with much less capacity for earning. A few years ago Ciao was the superior site of the two as Dooyoo had lots of bugs but the balance has long since shifted and Ciao is definitely second best now – in my opinion of course. Some time ago Ciao started offering surveys for us to complete and the earnings were added ... more

    3 Stars My view on Ciao surveys 02/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages There is a low minimum payout of £5.00

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the surveys are very long and you dont get paid much for them.

    Ciao surveys is very easy to join once you have registered you will have a chance to fill in your profile which has various sections for you to complete. Some of the sections include: Basic profile, Interests, Media, Travel and many more. They say the more of your profile you fill in the more likely you are to get a survey sent to you. The site sends out regular surveys by email I get about 6 a day I don't always complete them all it depends how long they take to complete. The length of each survey varies and so does the rewards they state the time it will take and the amount you will earn on ... more

    3 Stars Ciao Surveys - Get Out What You Put In 19/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use, loads of surveys, fairly quick screenouts.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow payout, only via paypal

    Having been a member of the Ciao review site for a while and seeing my hard earned words reap very little reward, I decided to try and add a little more income by signing up to their survey site. Registration was quick and easy and I was ready to go within minutes. I would recommend that you complete all of the profile questions soon after signup as this maximises the amount of surveys that you will be considered for. The profiles cover all sorts of things from finance to automotive to health. **The Site** The main page that you come to once you have signed in is clearly laid out and very easy ... more

    4 Stars Want a little easy money? 19/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Surveys sent by e-mail, bank transfer, small minimum balance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You don't always qualify, some take a while

    I joined Ciao surveys shortly after joining Ciao to make a little extra money. It's really simple to join, you just need your e-mail address and to make up a password. In your own time, you can fill out additional information, what you like, what you do for a living etc. They use this information to send you appropriate surveys, there's no point sending you a movie survey to do if you state you hate movies. The site sends you regular e-mails with a link to a survey, I get at least two a day. It states how much you'll get for the survey to, it's usually 10p, however on some occassions I've ... more

    3 Stars Ciao surveys - earn for doing surveys 15/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fun surveys, paid for your opinion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages sometimes surveys pay very little

    Ciao surveys is a market research company that rewards you for taking part in online research. They reward you for taking part in online surveys. Fo each survey you take part in you receive some money that gets put into your ciao survey account. These type of surveys are really good as you share your opinion and at the same time earn something too. Doing online survey can help with your income which is especially helpful these days with the recession and the credit crunch. Most people on the internet no about market research companies but they don't believe that you can earn from them or that ... more

    1 Star ciao-surveys??? 25/03/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Be prepared to have your time wasted for very little in return.

    I would first of all like to say how disappointed I am that I even had to write this review. I have been a member of ciao.co.uk for just over 2 years now, I enjoy reading other peoples reviews and wrote a few myself, felt good to part of the community. Nothing has changed there at least. My gripe is about the surveys, the rewards offered are probably what get most people to sign up and they are made to look very attractive: get rewarded between £1 and £10 for each survey depending on it's length. For the first year I was extremely happy with the surveys sent, the rewards were as described and ... more

    3 Stars Surveys...the bain of my life! 14/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages the money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tedious and VERY long!

    I enjoy writing the reviews on ciao. I used to enjoy taking part in the surveys. Now I see them as more of a chore - I do them to earn money yet never enjoy completing them. I find the biggest let down with a survey comes with the time it will take to complete one. I was sent an e-mail earlier on today asking me to complete "our quick 20 minute survey" which then turned out to take me a good 35 minutes with no other distractions. I have broadband so it's not just that my internet is slow aswell! This aside, I do generally still take most surveys, providing I've got to them quick enough as it ... more

    2 Stars CIAO SURVEYS 30/08/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Possibilty of earning £15 for 'live' on-line discussion groups.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very low survey rewards ( ie 10p)

    There's quite few survey sites on the internet these days, Ciao being one that people who write and read reviews here might be aware of. As with most survey sites you first need to register your details and then complete a 'profile' , this will determine which survey you are selected and invited for. It is worth taking your time filling this section out. At Ciao once you've collected £5 or over in survey rewards you can request a bank transfer. I get about 4 survey invites a week, most survey's that I've been offered are around the 10p for 30mins mark (I could probably find 10p down the back ... more

    4 Stars Not as bad as people make out 17/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy Money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can take a while to receive payment

    I started doing survey back in June 2009. One of the first sites I found was Ciao. I quite happily tried to fill in all the surveys that were on the site and tried all the new ones on a daily basis. I wasn't really paying much attention to the rewards or the time it took to complete any particular survey, I was just bored and was using them to pass the time. I started doing other survey sites as well and foud that most paid better than Ciao but that the surveys were few and far between. I have read on cerain blogs that Ciao is to be avoided at all costs as it is a waste of time. Sorry, I ... more
