They are. They are the ads that appear between the posts and in the arcade. I think people get use do kind of "tuning out" banners on websites so you start to not even notice them. But we do try really hard to find things that we think our members might legitimately like. For example, we might put up a Kraft Recipes banner here in the forum.Tricia

I do surveys sporadically, depends upon what else is going on in my life. Every time I get lucky it encourages me to try again. Got one last night, and another one, just now. I have learned that persistence pays off (this is info for newcomers, the rest of y'all know that). Just because I am told there are no surveys doesn't really mean there are none. That just occurred and I tried, again, and got a quick one. But, I do understand the frustration of trying and trying and not getting one.
My shopping has picked up. Have ordered several things from eBay, this past wk. I have been finding all kinds of deals there. Found Black and Decker cordless weed eaters (shipping, tax etc) for $40 cheaper than Amazon. Bought 2, my mom wanted a replacement, also. Discovered Hollister and Converse over there, those make Grace happy. Anna wants a flat iron like her sister's, figure I can get it there cheaper.
I love SR, don't do shopping or offers elsewhere, for one thing I understand the ins and outs of SR so it is just easier. The contests do spur me on to try offers, surveys more but I would rather keep SR in business.

I SR and would hate to see it go anywhere! I find that sometimes things credit easily (including surveys) and sometimes it's frustrating. When it's frustrating, I just take a break for a a day or two. I have a goal for my next cashout so I have been really trying hard lately. Overall, I have done well with surveys and offers.
For people who are having trouble with getting a DS, if there are no options for you to check, try clearing cookies. I find that if I clear cookies and then check the no options box, it sometimes goes right into a survey. If I still can't get one, I'll try for an otx and then later on (and after otx credits), I will clear cookies and try again. Also, if I do get a DS and there are still a lot of options, I will try for a 2 cents right away. Might as well try for a credit if there are surveys available.

Hey is there anyone who has done the contest yet? I am the only post

WOW!! I didn't realize my post would cause such a flurry of responses!
I can totally understand that SR, like all companies, especially small companies right now, are hurting...that's why I make sure to still shop through SR whenever a merchant is available here. I use SR for my online shopping exclusively. And, I have gotten my DH into the habit of checking here for merchants too. I love SR, like I said, and I would hate to see it go away! My reason for posting, was that I was feeling really bad about not doing surveys lately, especially because I know that it has been an issue for you here. I felt like I wanted to give you an explanation. I will continue to do everything else I can to spur SR on, including clicking on the links here on the forums, which I admit, I don't do often enough...so thanks for the reminder on that one!
You know Cindy...I think you are right. I think the OTX surveys are "generally" easier for me to get. When I do try for surveys, I generally start with the daily though, then get frustrated and never make it to OTX. I will give OTX a try in the next couple of days before totally giving up...how's that? I do love the bump in my account when I get one.

I think this is what drives me crazy the most. I do actually have check off boxes...as a matter of fact, I have had several boxes to check off the last few times I've tried...what drives me nuts is the "no surveys available" message every stinking time, time after time, when I have several other boxes checked and I know there are surveys available. Just frustrates me no end!
Actually Tricia, now that I am thinking about it, I do have a question in regard to this...When I try for a survey with several boxes checked and get the "no surveys available" message, does that indicate that my demographic may not match up with the demographics on ANY of the surveys that go with the boxes I have checked? Or is that just a glitch? I know there have been times in the past that I HAVE beeen able to complete a survey after getting that message, but more often than not, like today, I keep getting that message over and over again once I get it...should I just assume that I won't meet the demographic requirements if I get that message? Just wondering. I do appreciate all you do here for us and your trying to keep us all happy. Know that even if I am not taking surveys, I am not going anywhere!
