THAT is too funny!!! I love it.
I read Tricia's post on the Neilsen problem and the next time that penguin reared it's ugly head.... a 5 minute survey took me 20 to complete! Guess what?? I GOT CREDIT! Now I'm 1 for 15 with them.
I took the greatest survey today. All it asked for was my zip code. I typed that in and it asked me to push the button to be directed to the survey partner's site. I did. It said, 'Thank you for your time and answers. Please press submit to complete the survey.' I did and I fully expected to see that I did not qualify. Instead it said I received credit! And the only thing I answered was the question about my zip code!
I feel I deserve that one, though, since I get a lot of "No survey" messages and surveys that have me answer 25 questions only to find out I don't qualify at the end! Those are the most frustrating!
Today was a tough day to qualify. No one in my family qualified for a survey. Good thing my DB was visiting. At least he got in on one!
Just finished a 35/45 minute survey on HDTV and went through the entire survey, completed the for clarifications questions, the bar was 99% complete and I got an internal error message. I refreshed teh page and it waid I already completed the survey but I clicked back into SR and it did not credit to the account that I completed it.
Anyone do a fiber survey today? We were going through it, watching an ad, and the ad screen went black. I clicked the play button on the little Java screen, and it said "number of plays exceeded", but it won't go anywhere. I press "continue", and it says to watch the video before I click continue. I had watched the ad! It was truly almost done when it went black. :(
If that's happened to anyone else, let's let Tricia know. But maybe it was just a one-time thing.
I ended up forgetting to do a survey yesterday. There were none available, and then later once DH got home and he and DS were making dinner as I was about to look for more surveys, DS burned the heck out of himself (1st and 2nd degree, poor kid), and we spent the next 3 hours in the ER!
Obviously DS is OK otherwise I wouldn't be worried about surveys.... but it sure did wipe out my memory that I was supposed to do a survey last evening!
Oh, and the one thing that got his mind off of pain and the boredom of being in the hospital (and the difficult questions related to the last time he saw his grandpa was in a hospital bed :( ) was talking about Disneyland! And all the rides we were going to go on. :)
Sorry to blather.
Hope the fiber survey doesn't black-out for anyone else!
I finally got a nielson survey that I was able to complete and get the congratulations message from SR on. I was impressed. It was about the new microsoft palm/blackberry type phone.
24 Hour Rule -
Tomorrow I'll be able to answer one of my own questions about the 24 hour rule. I usually wait to start a survey after the time I started one the day before. I did one yesterday from 2:38pm-3:05pm. Today was 2:41pm-2:47pm. Now - is the 24 hours from the time you start or the time you finish? We'll know if I don't get credit, it's based upon finishing a survey not starting one. I forgot to answer my questions slowly in order to finish after 3:05pm so we'll see.
Sorry if this has been posted before - I couldn't find the answer.
Does anyone know if this month's survey contest aggregates? What I mean is, if you do 25 surveys and get the $5 bonus, do you also get $3 because you did 20 and $1 because you did 10?
Thanks in advance!
No, I think it was mentioned at the beginning that it's a total, it doesn't get added together.
