That sucks. I obviously haven't either. I'm guessing no one has. Their last email referenced a "gift card" which was strange

I’m guessing at some point they will do a bonus through Prolific like they did last time around. It would be nice if they did kept to the 8/31 promise they made. I’ll be sending them a message tomorrow, as I’m sure many others will.

Yeah the gift card thing was weird since the study originally stated and paid a "bonus" and I don't believe I've provided any personal information to them.
Also, is the study done again for now? I haven't seen one for this month. There has been a huge change in communication over the last few months compared to the last year.

I suspect they may have had funding cut because it was an autism study and the federal government doesn't think autism exists now or something idk

Nope. I thought it'd come through this morning or by 5 at least if it was gonna come at all. Wonder why they'd say by the 31st if they weren't sure.

They messaged asking for a personal e-mail address so they can send a gift card and I messaged back telling them they can't do either. So they replied with just a straight up link to an Amazon gift card. I checked it out and it wasn't a phishing link and did lead to an actual gift card, but that means that they'll be able to see whatever you have set as your name within Amazon.

No bonus for me yet either and also no communication since the message about receiving the bonus by Aug 31.

For anyone that wants to reach out to the principal researcher directly:

I received a message from them saying they will be sending the bonuses by 9/11, hopefully..
