I am having this problem and can't figure out if it is my connection or just greenfield. Also, I am having problems qualifying for a survey. I wonder if this is due to the site loading slower than normal.

I was surprised how easily i got one today, right off, no problems. It was a little long, but I'm sure it will credit. :cooldance:
Me too - I should have looked here first.Quote:

I think as long as you get a congrats screen with the SM surveys they should credit. I know they don't bring you back to SR though.
I just completed a survey to join an online community panel for an upscale women's apparel company. At the end of the survey, i was directed to a home page for "Opinion Surveys"
This is the beginning of the link but I didn't want to post it all because it has my email address in it...

It stinks that they have a completed survey and I won't receive any credit. GRRRRRRR. :computer:
P.S. - looks like the same survey as posted in #52 a week ago. When I go to the SR Daily Surveys page, I am not getting the "exceeded" message so I'm going to continue with another survey. From the previous posts, it doesn't look like I'll get credit for this one but I don't want to do anything "fraudulent."
Thanks.
Just wanted to chime in and remind everyone to use the Report Surveys link at the bottom of the Daily Survey pages when you have issues with a particular survey. Warning others in here is ok but they will not get reported to Greenfield through this thread.
Got nothing yest, got one quickly today, about auto commercials - it was long, but just glad to get a survey again! Hopefully I can get to 25 for the month still!:)
I was in the middle of a survey on Alcohol drinks and the buttons stopped taking me to new screens. Here is the link. It was a daily survey but was by poling point and there was not reporting link - So I am reporting it here.

The link is at the bottom of the SR daily survey page under the green box you click on to take the survey. Greenfield can contact polling point to fix the survey.Quote:

I have been having the same problem :(.
Its really just dependant on how many surveys are loaded on greenfield that are looking for your demographics. Sorry but you can't really do anything about it but wait it out until they load up new surveys.
Changing up your demographics is considered fraudulent activity by both Greenfield and SR and has led to bannation of some members a few months ago so please don't try that route. Greenfield has ways to track this. How I don't know but it has happened.
What I would suggest is that if you have other people living in your household is to have them try doing a survey with their demographics and personal email. Sometimes people who are different from you (ie male, older, younger) will be able to qualify for surveys that you can't.
This thread will explain why we are all experiencing a shortage on surveys.

I have not been able to qualify for many, I usually have to make my husband do it because he falls into a different age group than I do. :)
Good luck!
I too am having a difficult time this month just qualifying for a survey. My solution - get DH to take a survey. We usually fall into the same age bracket but I say that just because he gets to check that "male" button is why he gets accepted. DH doesn't really like to take surveys but I just bug him to he gives in.
So this fraudulent activity - what about if a day or two you accidentally clicked on a different income and didn't realize it; or one of the others, like schooling? If this happens once or twice, do they still consider it fraudulent activity and kick you out? Or are they looking for some sort of pattern over a few days or weeks? I'm not asking this because I have been doing this sort of thing; I'm asking because I know I have clicked on a different item than I meant to a time or two and didn't get it corrected before I hit start survey in time; I don't want to find myself out in the cold because of it!Quote:

OUCH!!! So I just gave up on today, and hope I can still squeeze 25 in.
I know this thread is for the daily surveys, but OTX is pretty much a daily survey now, too...and I just wanted to say --WOW! I just got a survey on an acessory store and it took less than 3 minutes! Thankfully I went there to buy some headbands recently so I qualified! woohoo! (definitely makes up for the 25 min one I had earlier today, got all the way through, and then it said I wasn't honest in one of my answers! :eek: I wanted to :computer: )
Its if they are noticing a pattern not if you do it accidently once or twice. Like I said I don't know all the ins and outs of it. I just remember that when surveys started getting cracked down on a few months ago a few people were found to be doing surveys fraudulently (ie wrong demographics, multiple surveys a day for an extended period of time) which Greenfield reported to SR and after an investigation of their account they were relieved of their SR participation duties.Quote:

So alot of the responses you see are for that reason not to scare you. As long as you follow the rules established by Tricia (and posted in the stickies) you will be ok.
Honestly and without meaning to offend anyone but we are all adults here and we need to start taking responsibility for what answers we are giving on ANY survey or offer we do. I understand that mistakes happen but there really isn't a reason for them to. When you enter your information make sure to read the questions carefully and answer truthfully. These survey places are paying us for truthful information. I am quite sure that the companies are using this information to make marketing and product decisions. With that in mind they are paying for truthful information and that is what we need to give them. Otherwise we are committing fraud whether they catch it or not. What the point Catherine was trying to make is that you can't change YOUR demographics to try to fit a survey. You can however have another family member who may fit that demographic take the survey with THEIR information. So you can't suddenly become 20 instead of 40. Is it a huge issue? No but we should all be taking things a little slower and making sure we are giving true and correct information on ANY offer. This keeps SR, us and the advertisers happy and it also keeps all of you earning money. Hope this makes sense.

So now that I have been duly frightened I might lose my SR privileges if I'm not careful enough I shall be more than careful! No more demographics errors for me.
This site was an awesome find for me and I don't want to mess it up, and hopefully haven't.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?? I have only 2 options to choose, I don't qualify for either, and if I do get an I agree to respond in an honest manner, then I get the next page saying sorry you do not qualify. Or I get an Internal Error page. What does THAT mean?
All of a sudden surveys have dried up for me. So no big bonuses for me this month now I guess.
And no I doubt I can get my DH to put his demographics in, even tho they would be vastly different than mine, and he could probably do a lot of these IT surveys for me - he just wouldn't have the patience to do it! He sort of rolls his eyes at me spending my time doing them!!:rotfl:
Okay, I have a question:
I have been doing surveys for a while, and once in a while DH helps out by doing a survey. Well today (after I cleared cookies) I had to put in all my info again. Birthday, race, etc. He noticed that the line said income, not household income! I have been putting in OUR income in that. So, is that for the income that I soley make or our household income that WE make?
FYI -
OTX Survey still has not fixed the age problem! :computer:
Honestly I don't think that matters. I have always put in the household income. Just keep putting whatever you have always put so that you are consistant.
WOOT Happy today got one on Food! I love when we get surveys on FOOD....
I never noticed that before either! I've been using the household income all along and will continue to do so. I have no income otherwise, unless you count SR, lol!Quote:

I've been putting household income in, also. However, I ALWAYS put the same thing in (our household income), so I guess from what Janet says, as long as you are consistent, it doesn't matter. If I'm nothing else, I'm surely consistent!
I was wondering if anyone knew if today was a Greenfield holiday. I have not been able to get a survey to save my life, and today there are no new options. Usually when we get around to Monday they load new ones and there are new things to check off. Just curious!
I would assume so.
bummer. :(

I am with ya, I can't get a survey also. My chances of making 25 have been blown.
This is frustrating, I am going to Disney in June and wanted to make as many survey as I can get.
April
I tried soooo many times this past weekend and also this morning...wonder what's up! I blew my 25 chances long ago, sorry for those of you that are soo close and are missing your surveys!! Frustrating!
I think I'm still on track for the $8 bonus, but it isn't looking good today. I can't get one and I had a really hard time this weekend. I must have checked 50 times! Hopefully more will get loaded later today.
