SM means you've earned a minimum of $100 in a quarter. Our present quarter started April 1st and ends June 30th. There are special privileges given to SM's, including an extra SM survey daily, plus special percentages for cashouts and shopping. SM's also only have to wait 3 days for shopping credits once they appear on the SR reports. I'm sure someone else will chime in because I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Oh, and we also have our own Lounge.:sunshine:
I finished my first every survey about cell phones!
Yay! Here's hoping that is the first of many to come!:sunshine:Quote:

I will give it a try next quarter. I am doing better this month already and trying new things...like surveys! On my way to big Disney cash out in April of 09:cooldance:
Making SM is great!! I finally got to find out what it's like this quarter and I'm enjoying it. One thing that will really help you make SM is consistently doing surveys - all that you can get anyway! Both the daily Greenfield and the OTX surveys. If you can get those as much as possible, that puts you a long ways toward 100$ for the quarter - doing some offers and shopping helps too. I hope you can get enough to make it!
We must have done something to make the survey guys mad as my DH is literally stuck now in the middle of a survey about gaming. It will not accept an answer and move forward and he does not want to start over. I have sent GF an email and will see what happens....
Same thing happened to me...hope they give you an answer soon!Quote:

As it stands right now he is not eligible for any.
I got one today about my primetime TV-watching habits! woohoo!
I got that one as a SM survey today.Quote:

So especially if you are using Firefox with a Mac, remember that, if you suddenly feel stuck on a lotion survey. :)
Oh darn, I got this one earlier this evening and the same thing happened to me, except I couldn't figure it out and had to click out. I'm so glad you got it to work.:) Luckily, I did get another really looong one. Waiting for it to credit.Quote:

But I'm sort of glad it happened to another person, b/c maybe my post will help someone ahead of time!
It was such a random thing that I noticed how to make it "click" successfully... I really should still send the email, shouldn't I?
I went over 30 minutes on another car survery and it kicked me out. Then offered me a faucet survey which I didn't qualify for. I guess I will keep trying. Nothing for today so far!
Is it possible not to qualify for anything?

I did get a nice survey about my favorite, a chain restaurant. It was fun to take, not too much time and I got paid. Thanks for the help. I am learning so much. Before I thought if I didn't qualify, that was the end for the day and I didn't click on daily survey again. Only once.
Now I know to keep clicking on it and keep trying!
In the warning it says not to list the name of the brands encountered in the Daily Survey. Wow, I just never paid attention but it caught my eye and I went back quickly to remove the name I had posted.
Newbies, do read the rules and take the time to make sure you understand.
Thanks for taking the time to do that and warning others. We try to do reminders every now and then to read the stickies but it sometimes gets lost.
Don't worry we wouldn't ban you over a first time error. Its the repeaters that we take out back and shoot ;)
I was very surprised to qualify for a very easy short survey at 8am this mornig.
what time do survey credits normally post to our accounts? I haven't received yesterdays credit yet.
thanks
daily surveys usually post at either 9:30 am or 12:30 pm the following day except for the weekends. the ones you complete on friday, saturday and sunday will show up in your account on monday. i hope this was helpful to you.:sunshine:
I did a long one about car commercials. YAH!! Hopefully it will credit.
I have qualified for so few surveys over the last few months. this is very helpful information.Quote:

I did one yesterday and it didn't credit :computer:
This morning I am getting the "exceeded number of surveys for the day" message for my daily...I did yesterdays more than 24 hours ago. The only thing I did this morning was my OTX. Wonder if I will be able to get on this afternoon or if my day is shot...
I got an automotive one that I completed but then it asked me to do a short follow up survey. I said ok and they said they would e-mail a link. Went back and no exceeded message. I thought I wouldn't get credit for the 30 min. car survey and couldn't get another one. Checked e-mail an hour or so later and the follow up survey invite was there. Clicked on it and completed it and it sent me back to SR rewards and said I had completed the study. Maybe you all know this already but maybe if you complete their follow up surveys you will get credit. Now I get the exceeded message. So keeping my fingers crossed that I get the credit.
Had one today that was going to be about shopping but froze and wouldn't continue after it played the first commercial for me. Then I couldn't use the help@greenfield button at the bottom of the page because I had a message about the default mail server not being properly installed - I guess it wants something I don't have in operation on my computer at this time - whatever. And of course, that was the only survey available for me, wouldn't you know?!:computer: Shouldn't complain, have had good luck so far this month.
I got that one also earlier today. Played the first commercial and then no way to continue, no button, time passed nothing. Any time I get the surveys with the blue screen that you have to hear music and put letters in a box I know my chances are slim of it working for some reason.Quote:

I know that I do have Outlook on my computer, but I don't use it, and I think it must not be enabled, or whatever. So thanks for the tip!Quote:

Now I did manage to get one on potty training products that wasn't too bad - so no complaining about the one that froze up!
i have been trying since early this morning to get a daily survey and every survey i have started i have gotten kicked out of. now it says there are no surveys that i qualify for. if i can't do a daily survey i can't do a sm survey either as you have to do the daily first. i have a feeling that this is not going to be my day for surveys (last month i got all the daily surveys done) and up until today i was 12 for 12. definitely not a good day. GROAN.:computer:
I did one this morning for children charities. I was actually happy to take this and hope it helps out.
I just spent about 20 minutes on a survey about pasta sauce - actually something I know a bit about and care about - It didn't take me back to SR and it is still letting me take a survey - no exceeded limit message - just wanted to warn you!
Be sure to try throughout the day. Not just back to back. When I'm having bad luck I wait a few hours and try again, and wait a few more and try again. Remember also in the past, weekends are harder to qualify.Quote:

I had this one just now - it acted as though I had qualified and started asking me about a certain pasta sauce, if I would buy. I said I probably would, so then it wanted a comment about why I said that, but after I put my comment in, I got kicked out! Then it said, no surveys for you. I can't figure out why it would kick me out after I was saying something favorable about this sauce.:confused: Oh well.Quote:
