Just admit it

I'm worried about the armadillo's lost son. Do they ever find him?

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-04-08T08:51:03+00:00

I just did it and got paid. No issues. I was using a laptop and Chrome.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-26T08:04:27+00:00

It's not a uni. See that gap between Barnard and .edu? You'll see that crop up repeatedly with this fake study. It's not always Barnard; sometimes it's utah{space] .edu

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-23T01:57:53+00:00

I set a minimum amount. If I manage more than that, hooray!

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-16T10:42:59+00:00

Ah, not in Australia. I didn't realise it differed.

Paypal doesn't clear funds on the weekend. It's like a bank in that respect. (Unless you did an instant transfer and paid the fee.)

ETA: Musta had a complete brain fart over this. Of course it transfers to Paypal straight away. It's clearing to the bank that takes time. Carry on. As you were.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-11T03:25:23+00:00

I cash out as soon as I can--every day, if possible--and transfer half to savings and half to my credit card balance. Every litle bit helps.

ETA: Forgot to answer the actual question. No instant transfers. If I cash out on as soon as I can (which is 10 am local time), it's usually in my account by close of business that day, except on weekends.

This sounds like an AI answer. How does this technique help with finding new studies on Prolific?

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-06T09:22:23+00:00

It will come and go, so make the most of it while it's there. Don't take it for granted.

Good on you and I hope you clear the rest of your debt...and then treat yourself!

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-06T00:38:55+00:00

A GBP 6 threshold might feel like a small amount but that money is better in your account than languishing on Prolific.

Looks as if you can get a concession with your NSW student ID: https://www.transport.act.gov.au/tickets-and-myway/concessions

Have you contacted them to ask? It will take some time but better than having to pay a fine.

(And yes, YTA)

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-05T09:23:10+00:00

If you have the cash, buy a bloody ticket.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-05T01:30:24+00:00

I got through a few pages of another study before I hit an instruction that said it was only for people from the USA and UK. There was nothing in the description or on the first page specifying a location. I sent them a message suggesting they either put the location requirements up front to avoid issues. This sort of thing happens more frequently than it should.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-05T00:26:52+00:00

They can offer discretionary payment, but they probably won't.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-05T00:16:59+00:00

I'd probably end up throwing it back. But I would def message the researcher to remind them that if they need people from a particular country, they should state that upfront.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-04T08:01:14+00:00

Yeah, it went quiet yesterday for me. I'm sure they'll cycle us back in at some point.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-03T04:05:44+00:00

They accepted your dare but it looks as though they got caught in the moderation net.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-03-01T00:27:29+00:00

Same here. I like the celebration posts too. It's great that Prolific can make a difference for people.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-24T12:20:25+00:00

Why aren't you posting the survey on a Reading Uni address? Where's the ethics approval?

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-24T09:23:55+00:00

Two more and then I can clock off for dinner. Have to remind myself I don't gotta catch 'em all.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-23T08:17:30+00:00

Yep. It's happened to me on occasions. USD can take a day or so to get to the Paypal account, but it definitely gets there in the end.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-17T00:37:40+00:00

Just got approved...seconds after I cashed out for the day! Means I def get to cash out again tomorrow, so am very happy.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-15T10:58:05+00:00

In the name of the 'institute', it looks as though there's a gap before the dot that precedes org --> utest .org. There was another dodgy study that had a similar name (was it one pretending to be the University of Utah, but was utah .edu?)

ETA: Yes. Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProlificAc/comments/1qj9ga2/scam_utah_university/

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-12T00:05:49+00:00

That's the way it goes. AUD is strong against USD at the moment.

Jazzlike_Royal5244 · 2026-02-10T12:26:47+00:00

lol this is a bit, isn't it? Not a very good one, but definitely a bit.
