Since I'm new here...When I finally learned about the surveys I could only have reached 10....and I knew i had to complete one EVERY DAY. Yesterday it just would NOT let me take ANYTHING...and I tried and tried and TRIED. Today I don't qualify either!! I know I've already missed out on the bonus point, but I still want to take as many as I can, and this is FRUSTRATING!
Sometimes that can happen. :(
Just be sure to slow WAY down, as sometimes everything else can qualify you, but if they think you're going to fast, they'll boot you out.
Is there anyone else in the household that could take a survey for you? Sometimes I have to IM my husband the questions while he's at work, LOL, just so we can get a survey in that day.
i bet i went thru at least 15 surveys yesterday before i finally qualified for ONE. it was probably at least 10 today. keep trying to qualify and do the surveys really slow.
Well it's just that today it won't even let me get to the survey pages (unless they are the ones that redirect you somewhere else...those don't count if I remember correctly). It won't let me get past the "tell us about yourself.." questions. It says "There are no surveys at this point of time for which you qualify. We again thank you for your interest and time and hope to see you soon." Maybe they didn't like that I didn't want to take the surveys on their Partner site. Oh well, I will keep trying. Thank you.Quote:

When you say you didin't want to take surveys on partner sites, are you talking about the "click here to be connected to our partner site" with the arrows that shows up EARLY in the survey? Or after you've gone through, been told "you don't qualify for this but click here for another survey elsewhere"?Quote:

If there's anyone else in your household, you can switch to their demographic information by looking for where they say "if you're not youremailaddress@ blahblah.com click here", and click there, and that's where another household member's information can go.
Hope that helps, and if you already knew all that, sorry to duplicate!

Also I didn't know about the thing with the other household member. I thought it would log me out if I clicked "If you're not.....click here"
Thanks!
Also try using a different e-mail address. I know I was having the same problem you were having last month, and once I changed my e-mail, no more problems. Good luck and let us know what works for you.Quote:

The Cheetos Cheese Crackers was BOGUS!!!! It was fast, simple and then at the end asked for demo info, THANKED me for completing the survey THEN told me I didn't qualify!!!!:computer: :computer: :computer: :computer:
I just did #25! :cooldance:
It happened to be the cheetos crackers too, but I got through it with no problems.
I did the Cheese Trax one and got through it too. This got me my 20!!!!!! I was worried I wouldn't get the 20 after I didn't get one Sunday and then yesterday took forever to get one. But, ~whew~, I did it!
Just finished #23 over instant messaging. It really didn't ask me much...wanted me to sign up for a year long project over instant messaging. I was worried (when it redirected me away from greenfield after some questions) so even before I finished it, I opened a new tab and opened SR again to get ready to start another one and it said "exceeded your limit." The Search Matters survey never did take me back to SR either.
Just finished one on wine-buying habits, a perfect one for me! Can't believe this month is over!
Got in 30 this month and VERY happy!
I was thinking we could come up with a best tips for surveys post that Tricia could put in a sticky post on its own, so people don't have to slog through this long thread to learn how to do a survey. So take a look at the tips I list and correct any and add any so we can get a good how to post.
Credits Monday through Thursday Surveys will USUALLY credit the next day. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Surveys usually credit on monday.
You can complete one survey a day, so if you get a "sorry you don't qualify for this survey" message, try again, keep trying until you get to complete a survey.
If you complete a survey, try to take another one... If it lets you, then unfortuately you probably won't get paid for the survey you thought you completed - go do another one. :computer:
If you successfully complete a survey and try to take another one and it gives you a message about exceeding daily limit then you will probably will get paid - good job :sunshine2:
If you get a connecting to partner site message during a survey.. go ahead, greenfield has many partner sites that pay for surveys via SR
If you get a no more surveys available for you message, go back through SR and try again... they add surveys at all times, so keep trying even a minute later.
If you get the no more surveys available message multiple times in a row. you can try several things to get more surveys...
You can enter a different valid email address. You can have someone else in your household take a survey, and if neither of these options help... keep trying, they are adding surveys during the day (usually not so well on weekends though)
There is NOT a strict 24 hour time limit (it used to be so... but not anymore). so go ahead and try before your 24 hour time if you need to for any reason... you will either be allowed to take another survey or you will get the exceeded limit message.
great post Faith. I think it should definetly be a sticky or put in the first post of this thread.
So, has anyone heard any rumours about whether the Surveys will have a bonus next month? (Or, at least I hope stay at .80, I'm growing spoiled with this!)
Tricia mentioned it a few days ago on this thread (I think) that yes, bonus & $0.80!! :cooldance:Quote:

Great!!! Thanks!:cooldance:Quote:

Thanks Faith Awsome information on surveys! :) I think this would be a great stick ast well.
I got to 25, too! I was holding my breath but it took me back to the Congratulations page. I had a juice one, too - fruits and vegetables all together in one juice.Quote:

Hey guys I added the information from faith's post to the very first page of this thread. If you guys can think of anything else to add let me know.
Ok..here goes. This is the FIRST time I've noticed it so I can not say that it happens on all or even any other one, but thought some of you could check as you do your surveys today. This probably only applies if you do a greenfield survey and aren't sent to the other affiliates.
Every time my survey switched questions today, at the bottom of IE where it lists the progress of the page loading, I noticed after it was completely loaded a second or two later it would click down there (though the screen didn't change) and a new URL would show that ended in wait.gif
Do you think that we aren't supposed to answer questions until after that clicks? Like maybe that's there timer to decide if you are taking long enough. I had the Cheeto survey that apparently so many are having a hard time getting to credit AFTER they finish the survey. I waited until that wait.gif flashed and then I made myself read the entire question and every choice (though I didn't read them slowly) and then I marked my answer. It worked out and I have my first August survey!!!
Thought someone else might want to watch for this and see if it is happening in other surveys (I'll start checking each day).
Interesting....
I did not notice that wait thing at all, but did get this same survey. I did read all of the questions and discription of the product (which I thought was unique) and then answered all the questions. Got my 1st survey for August also!!Quote:

Faith
Thanks for letting me know! I didn't think they had but thought I'd ask anyway.
A little more survey news...
If you have teenagers in your house, they are trying hard this month to get ages 13-17 in particular to take surveys. So maybe you can make some deals with your kids. LOL!
Good news, Tricia! My teen has been asking for surveys. :)
I got my first one for the month too. :) It was a formula one that was soooooo loooooong. It wasn't hard, but very time consuming. I think it's one of the longest ones I've had in quite a while.
This is extremely interesting. I'll be sure to pay attention when I take my survey later today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.Quote:

Now when I try to take another survey it tells me I have exceeded the daily limit. Did I accidentally do today's survey without meaning to?
That just happened, my first survey for the month was about movies and it was for my DD14. She took it but thought I was crazy, until I showed her the GC's ;)Quote:
