Time zone ? for DS

[Iteach]

I did a survey last night about 11:30 PM CST, completed it and got the SR congrats page. I now have a ton of options for a DS and it's 7:30 PM CST. That happened during the week and I thought the first would credit for that day, just before midnight and the next one would credit for the following day, but I got credit for 2 surveys in 1 day. I don't want that to happen again. So does the time zone affect which day the survey will credit or does the time zone not make any difference. I don't want to miss out on a survey for the day, but don't want to get double credit either. Anyone know? Thanks

My guess is that GF's system re-sets sometime after 8pm EST. So IMHO you got 2 credits for surveys you did they just happened to post in the same day.
I think your ok, I don't think it'll let you take one if you did already.

This happens to me every so often.

Even though it shows in the Account History as getting credit for the same date, you know you're not. You took that survey before midnight your time. Between 9 pacific time and midnight there's a weird twilight zone. For you, you only have an hour or so of twilight zone, right?

Anyway, if I do a survey that finishes even at 9:01 pm pacific time, it won't credit the next day (we're pretending we're in the middle of the week here, to get rid of the weekend weirdness), but it will credit the day after that, with the wrong date. If I got a survey (this just happened this week) the day after the 9pm survey, both surveys will credit "as" the same day, but I know (and I think they know) when that survey was taken.

It's not double credit. You're doing 2 surveys on proper days when they allow you to, and you're getting credit for each of them. :)
