I'm pretty sure Gongos was one mentioned on one of the first couple of pages in this thread as ones to avoid.Quote:

I just saw this post..........photos were not allowed. It was to protect the artifacts. Everything was dark with soft lighting around the artifacts. It was a very cool exhibit and leave the USA on September 30th.Quote:

I grew up in Florida and now live in South CA... what the hell is knitwear besides... I'm fashion challenged... I love my jeans and t-shirts.
The survey gave me credit (at least it won't let me take another, so I'm assuming it will credit tomorrow)... I felt a bit guilty finishing the survey... but I did answer truthfully... just wish they could have designed the survey better.

I got a strange one today that started off about cereal bars, then went to banks and investments. Took about 10 minutes.
i got that one also, and i answered honestly, it told me i did not qualify. so i get another one on ciao (something like that). a whole list of designer brands came up and i had to do the survey on them, i have no idea who/what or anything about them. well as long as it credits i will be happy.Quote:

Took one on travel today. It was medium length (15-20 min or so) and easy. Basically just wanting to know how many trips I've taken in the last year and what went into the planning process. It was by Edge Research (or E-something research.. I think it was edge?).
I got a very quick one about diswashing liquid. Took about 3 minutes!
I have gotten this survey 3 different times in the last 2 months. Unfortunately, it is the exact same "How I Met Your Mother episode". I always get different commercials though. It is such a pain to have to sit through an entire episode just to answer questions about one 60 second commercial.Quote:

I just did one on cologne and perfume purchases. It would have been painless except it kept going back and I had to re-answer questions I'd already answered. It seemed stuck in some kind of a loop. I almost gave up but after slowly getting to 60% complete, it jumped to 92% and asked for the demographics. Finally, back to SR and the congrats message.
I just got 2 bad ones. One was asking about faucets and got all the way through the personal questions and booted me out of it. I then got the 7 video one and watched all of them and answered all and it told me I wasn't what they were looking for.
I am not happy and am off to try a 3rd.
I got a second one this evening (after having one successfully take me to the Congrats screen early this AM). Anyway, it was a very looooooong one about different brands (Diet Pepsi, Pledge, Paper Towels), but ended up focusing on cholesterol lowering medication. Although it was lengthy and the commercials took a good bit of time to load (even with a fast connection), it was an interesting survey. Just be sure to allow about 45 minutes to do it.
I just wanted to point out, in case you didn't know. That you are only supposed to qualify for one survey a day. Qualifying for multiple surveys in a day may be looked at as fraudulent behavior.Quote:

Just got a fairly short one after trying several this afternoon, running out to Walmart to get a new modem (mine finally died), going to Girl Scouts, then sitting on the phone with Comcast for several minutes to set up new modem. This makes 22/24.
I did the 7 surveys and the last one I had seen on tv and answered "yes" and it booted me out! Argh! :computer:
My family has been having quite a bit of trouble with the Penn, Schoen and Berland surveys. They ask you about 20 pages of questions before they boot you out. Hope others are having better luck with them.

I hear what you say, however when you take a survey early in the morning and get a Congrats screen and have to rush off to work, I always check later in the day to see if I am actually going to get credit (by being told I have fulfilled my daily survey). I did not get that, so I did another survey to make sure I got credit for the day.Quote:

I finally got a short and easy survey about Grill Mates Spray....took maybe 5 min. :love:
Got the same one this morning. Went through the entire survey, then didn't get the SR Congrats page. :computer: Then went in and did one on faucets, got completely through, including demographics, then....nothing.:computer:Quote:

Well - if this doesn't beat all. I have now taken the seven commercial survey twice. The first time, it threw me out but this time, I made it to the end and was taken back to the SR page. Go figure. It was different commericals this time and I had not seen any of them (which I had the last time) so maybe that's the difference?? Now I know you MIGHT get through the thing and qualify!!!!!
I just did one for Travelocity that took forever!!! :(
I took a survey this morning on faucets (w/ some pictures/diagrams) and got to the end & received a message "Sorry we are having technical difficulties. Thank you for your patience." It never went to the SR congratulations page. So, I tried again. I got another one that started out asking about shaving & it had the same similar diagrams/pictures w/ razors this time. I was afraid to go thur it so I just closed it. Oh, and when I went to check my email after taking the faucet survey, I had two emails from faucet websites already.
I got this one last night same thing happened. Waste of time.Quote:

Best survey ever on popcorn about 5 questions!:cooldance:
I got the popcorn survey also. YAY!!! It doesnt seem like it is going to go to popcorn at first because it asks about smoking habits. The actual survey though is SO easy. What a sunshiny day for me today!
I had problems with a cologne survey - kept making me answer the same questions again - 4X!
i just finished one on pain reliever/fever reducers. easy but sort of long, and very boring.
I had to watch 7 commercials. It told me that at the outset, though, and didn't take nearly as long as I:) thought it would.
yeah the 7 commercial one was not that bad!
I wish I had read the forum first, usually I do, but got home late tonight. I, too got the faucet one, got all the way to the end, then got the technical problem page. I refreshed the page and it said Thank You. It never did take me back to the congrats page. Got another easy, fairly short one on the new "Cracker Jill" product. Fun!
