Maybe taking a little break to destress might help, but I wouldn't leave SR for anything! We all have slow days.... I have had times when no offers would credit and I couldn't qualify for surveys, but I just enjoyed the forum for a few days and things picked back up. Take a look at your account history and remind yourself how many things HAVE credited. We all have slow times, but we all have days where everything works too! I just try to remember those days. For example yesterday I did every new offer and 1 old one and they all credited, I really hadn't had many offers credit since Crazy Credits and those couple days everything credited too. Just remember every day can't be perfect.

i understand what you are saying but it is not just me that this is happening to. for some reason a lot of people are having problems getting a survey and it can't just be because of their demographics, there has to be some other reason behind it. it is only the 6th day of the month and to not have any surveys for so many different people from different places makes me wonder sometimes. does that make any sense? i also know that i should exercise more patience when it comes to surveys and maybe i should take a day off from surveys just to relax and de-stress. thanks for your words - they really hit home. have a wonderful evening and again:thanks:

I might have this exactly the opposite, but I'm remembering that Tricia has said that summer is the slowest time for surveys.

Or maybe that's the winter? (see? exactly the opposite is a possibility)

When I see "no surveys for you", I figure it means there are no surveys. To me, the glitch is the wording of things, no longer (for ages it seems) getting the "you have exceeded the daily limit" message, and more recently not being able to rely on the "no surveys" message as meaning something credited. THOSE are the glitches, to me, along with error messages and their site being down for maintenance.

But the "no surveys" part, I just assume that's exactly what they mean.


I hadn't done a SM survey since July, I believe, until yesterday when I could try. And I got the "no surveys" message for ages. Then just after 8pm Pacific time I got LOADS of options all at once, and skated one in just before 9pm. If I hadn't checked right after 8, I wouldn't have seen all of those. And right now I'm in the "no surveys for you" period for the SM survey, probably both b/c it's not yet time (I'm on a rough 20 hour cycle for SM surveys, and it's made more difficult b/c the survey credited for today, just after 9pm pacific time, so it's confusing) and b/c they haven't loaded any recently.

I guess I was wondering if the glitch was that my DH was able to complete one but didn't get the congrats and then it was all the sudden that it said he should try back tomorrow. Even with a ton of options available on the list. It was almost like it decided the one earlier went through and he was done for the day.

I don't know about the SM one for me. I usually have some options to pick from even if I can't qualify after I get into them. I'm getting the page like I took one and am trying again before my 24 hrs. are up. But I didn't take one yesterday.

I have faith it will be back to normal soon. I got the little bonus last month and it won't kill me if I get it instead of the big one this month again. It's still fun to see the jump in the account at the first of the month.

Here's to fingers and toes crossed that we all get one tomorrow.:D

I had like twelve options this morning and I checked 7. The first survey I got was for one of those online communities. I took it and it didn't take me back to SR. Big surprise, those almost never do. Anyway, when I went back to try again, all the options were gone and ever since ( about 14 hours now) all I get is the "No surveys" message. You can't tell me that that one survey wiped out all 12 options. There's something strange going on.

I hope so! That was tooooo long of a survey to get na-da. And it was kind of a fun one, at that.

just wanted to let everyone know that after 15 hours of trying to get a sm survey (i know this is the ds thread but i thought i would put this here) i had options, completed it and got the congrats page. now lets hope it credits after 9 tonite. i guess gf added more surveys so now everyone can try to get one. have a great evening all and good luck with your surveys.:sunshine:

I just got a very strange survey that asked if I had any children between the ages of 8 and 17 that knew how to sew. DD does but she is only eight. It was very strange asking if she took sewing classes and other weird question and then it did not take me back to the congrats page after it said I completed the survey with dd. Now I have no options, well I guess I will have to keep trying.

i just completed one! :cooldance: everyone check your options again!

I just got one too. I didnt all day until now..
go try again!!

-r

After being told no survey 4 times I finally got one for my DD on sewing and then guess what???

NO Return, No Credit. What a day for the survey!

Dh did one a little while ago that was a keynote survey. All about online shopping for computers. It took about 30 minutes. He got to the end and got this message
"We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to share your thoughts and opinions with us. Your input today will directly impact future products and services that everyone will enjoy.
Thanks again!"
However it did not go back to GF so no credit! No point in send ing the info as GF never does give credit even when you supply the invitation information they request. ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

had lots of options this morning and got one on sleep aids. completed it and got the congrats page. today has definitely been a better day for surveys.:cooldance:

I got Callie up early. She goes to work in a little while. She was excited to answer the questions about sewing. I hung out a load of laundry and when I came back in, she said she completed it. I looked and no "congradulations page." She told me the survey was fun, since she took sewing in h.s. She sews really well too. My mom sews, but that "gene" I totally did not get. Bummer. When I tried for another survey, I had no options. When I started this morning, there were at least 10 options. How the heck did they all get wiped out.

Jenvance-you better tell your dh-how to log on here. He has to post when you have your baby. Hang in there-mine were all late-

Dh is computer illiterate, lol, he will not log on, Sorry but if I am missing for two days you can all guess I went into labor and will check in shortly.

I will note this. I hope you disappear really soon so we can all meet the future SRer.

I had an easy one on allergy meds last night so I hope I get another similarly short and easy one today.

Well, I got all three last night but the SM survey credit is missing! :headache:

I was on such a good roll :rotfl:

i got the sewing survey and at the end it told me i completed the survey and thanked me, but didn't return me to the congrats page, so i tried a couple more times to get a survey (lots of options, 3-4 checked) and after being booted 2-3 times, all the options are gone again. *sigh* congrats to those who managed to get one already!

i'm so sorry that you are having problems getting a ds. just take a deep breath, walk away from your computer for a little while, and then try again. i just know you will succeed in getting your surveys for today. will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you today that you prevail. have a wonderful day.:sunshine:

I wonder if they implemented some sort of tries per person per time period thing. The same thing happened to me on Monday. I had tons of options, didn't qualify for I think 3, maybe it was 4, then got the no surveys for you page / click here if you are not blahblah.

But then after 8pm I had the choices again, but then didn't qualify and was out again. 8am Tuesday, same scenario, not qualified for a few, then had to wait until 8pm....then I got one on the 1st try and qualified/sr congrats.

I've been lucky to get a ds on 1st try the past few days, so haven't been able to judge that theory any further, but from what I've been reading it seems they are only giving us so many tries, then you have to wait for the next go-round. IDK, just my .02 :D

I was wondering about this, too, except for two days in a row now it's happened to me on the first try. I'll have like 10-12 options, get the first attempt, get booted and then have all the options disappear. I can tell you, if they've gone to some kind of "one strike you're out" thing, I'm done. :computer:

Something is up, but I was booted out of 2 this morning before I did get one. Even on the 3rd try I still had a bunch of options. Or was that yesterday? lol I can't remember.

I've sort of been waiting to see if you were missing - because probably your due date has passed, and no baby yet?! I hope she comes soon. I have a feeling mine will in a few days, so we'll see how it goes for each of us!!

I had a really weird, long one this morning on home pregnancy tests. I dept telling them I've never bought one, I'm not trying to become pregnant, etc, but they let me keep going. I just love those questions when they ask which was teh brand you purchased most recently and you have to check the "other" box and write NEVER BOUGHT ONE. Then they ask why you bought NEVER BOUGHT ONE. Wouldn't that be pretty self explanatory???

At least I got the congrats screen and a good laugh!

I also had a lot of options clicked off earlier today. I tried and didn't qualify for a few and now I have no options at all in either the daily survey or the SM survey. I'm wondering what's going on....

Same thing here. :confused: I'm going to give it a shot later and see if anything changes.

Update: Got in about 10 PM and just finished one on sleep aides!

i'm having the same problem getting a sm survey. i did a sm survey last night around 8 and i wonder if i have to wait until 8 tonite to get another one and that's why i have no options or surveys available.:confused: any thoughts on this?

I just did a long one on athletic shoes/clothing but it gave me the congrats screen and brought me back to SR so no complaining from me. :)

It may credit at 12:30

Are the Survey's Credited yet from Thursday. I did one last nite, and I got the congradulations page, but then it showed I wasn't logged in.

They just credited now; at least mine did.
