re: slowness...I'm usually multitasking with many many tabs up on Firefox, so it's really easy for me to take a survey slow, and I *think* that when I go slow enough, that's when I get through the surveys most often. Click and read the question(s), go read a post on the Dis while thinking about the answer to the question, answer the question, "continue" and read the question, go check my bank balance, answer and "continue", read the question, go check to see if the particular survey has been reported here as being bad, answer the question, etc etc etc. I've even left a survey for HOURS as DH got home and dinner was eaten etc etc, came back to the computer, realized the survey was still up, and finished it successfully. Don't know what the software was thinking about my reading skills, but it worked better than when I let myself skim! :rotfl:
SLOOOOOOOOW...I can try that....lol! Guess being a speed reader has it draw backs.....I lost a whole .80 and that bites!Quote:

just keep thinking like I do when that happens....closer to a mickey bar, closer to a mickey bar, mmmmmmmmmmmm mickey bar:rotfl:
Seriously, the only thing that keeps me going back to the survey section is...
#1. $24.00=total of 30 days at .80 a survey.
#2. $5.00 if I make the 25, tricia is giving me a bonus.
#3. Easy way to get become a supermember $29 a month for three months leaves me $28.00 in clicks to earn to become a super member for the next quarter.
#4. As a super Member I get a special cashout for Disney GC and that's getting me closer to WDW.
If it wasn't for that, I would high tail it!:)
belbook...I also got that survey and was booted out at 41% completed. Then I tried another one on home appliances and was told I didn't qualify after completing 35% of the survey. Now I get the "No surveys available" page for everyone in my family. I'm close to 20 completions for the month but I've pretty much given up on completing 25.
Try a different e-mail address. That worked for me yesterday when I got the "no surveys available" message.Quote:

I was doing great the beginning of the month and now I'm stumped.
I had that day yesterday! It was a pain! :computer: Got up this morning though and was back to normal...qualified in just a few tries.Quote:

Oh no, and I thought that (assuming it was the one you got) one was a good one! :(Quote:

After not qualifying for over an hour, I had my DH try. He didn't qualify for about 10 surveys but then got one from the dreaded Phoenix group whose surveys are incredibly long and never progress. He got one on car ads that took him over half an hour to complete. The really frustrating part was that when he finally reached the 100% point on the bar, he clicked to go to the next page which had more questions and the progress bar had gone back down to about 30% completed.
This is why I avoid this company's surveys at all costs but I was afraid that if he exited out he wouldn't get another survey.
Just completed #15. It was a synovate survey and it was LONG. :( Fairly easy though. I think the purpose of it was extended warranties though it asked a good bit before it seemed to get to the point. :rotfl:
My 10 year old did a survey for a toy this morning...she thought it was a bit long (and stupid), but she finished it for me...
I had to get her to stop with the sassy answers a couple of times... but then I figured they are asking a 10yr old...what do they expect...
The toy was really stupid.
Faith
Was it the talking parrot. We have got to that one twice and then it gets to the pictures and never does anything else. I have tried all morning to get a survey with no luck. I didnt get one yesterday either..... :computer: Never have I tried so hard to get .80.....I am getting frustrated at this point..:computer: OH well maybe I will try again later. There goes my goal of 25 now.:cry:
yeah I finally got through one. :cooldance: :cooldance: :cooldance:
Just took ANOTHER cholesterol medication survey. But at least it's a survey! I should be up to 22 with all the weekend's surveys, but not yet. Since this is my "financial" contribution to our vacations, I get really excited about anything I can make toward GCs!
I could not get a survey yesterday...DH & I must of tried 40 times each. Then, when I think I had one, I would answer a question and then get taken back to SR and it would tell me I had no other surveys to qualify for. Very odd, so I gave up and got in right today. I should make it to 20 no problem, but if I want to reach 25, I need to get one everyday. *crossing fingers* :)
Has anyone gotten credit for fri., sat. and sun. yet? I know it's maybe early yet, but I get so nervous about those weekend credits. I'd hate it if I wasted all that weekend time and didn't get credit! And I'm never 100% sure until those credits post. I like it much better during the week when I only have to wait 1 day to find out. :)
No, I haven't. Feel the same way!! I've been refreshing my account this morning with fingers crossed!! Glad to know I'm not alone!! :p I don't think I've seen Tricia on the forums though, so I'm not worried, just impaitient!! :rotfl:Quote:

I am with you both. I couldn't get one yesterday for the life of me so I finally gave up!! But this morning I got one right away, so that was a nice start to the morning. I am hoping that I can get the last few so I can make it to 25, but I will "settle" for 20 if I have to.Quote:

I had the same issue last night - couldn't get anything and then bam got one this morning on cookware.Quote:

I just got the easiest survey ever. It was about consumer personal information protection. It was only 2 pages long and no demographic questions. It only took me about 1 minute to complete and then took me back to the Congratulations page. That was easy.
I think I just got the same one, but instead of taking me back, it closed the window! :confused:
I got the same one. Only 2 pages of questions to answer! Way cool! It balances out some of the surveys that were a doozie!Quote:

I had no luck yesterday either and became frustrated and finally gave up. I had no luck this morning either until recently. I took a survey on yogurt and it took me back to the SR completion page so I am up to 18 for the month now.
I can still make 25 for the month if I don't have any more days like yesterday! I am expecting to at least make 20 either way so I am happy about that!
18! That's great! I'm at 14 completed and credited (15 assuming the one I took today credits tomorrow).
I *thought* that one was about yogurt...alas I have eaten no yogurt of any kind in the last week, and was booted right out! :p I really must start buying and eating ALL sorts of food products each week, just so I can qualify for more surveys!
Awesome! All mine from the weekend credited! Woo hoo! I joined this bandwagon late & if all works out, I will get 20, but that's ok by me! I think I've become a believer...after all it's $0.80!!
I only got credit for my Friday one, nothing for the one that I did on Saturday :(
Just got a great survey on chocolate (yummmmm, now I want chocolate!). It was #20 so now I'm happy since I'm leaving for vacation on Thursday.
