Posts about daily surveys. Pls Read 1st Post. Updated 7/10/08

I'm starting this thread for people to post their experiences with daily surveys that do not work. If you run into a survey that you complete that does NOT take you back to Sunshine Rewards and tell you that you got credit, please post here with as much information as possible, including the URL of the last page that you land on. I can compile the information from this thread and pass it along to my daily survey contact so that they can take care of surveys that are not working properly.

As requested I am add this information for those who have survey questions about the general idea of taking surveys. Thanks to faithhope for compiling it. If anyone has anything they want added please PM me (Janet) and I will add it:

Credits Monday through Thursday Surveys will USUALLY credit the next day. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Surveys usually credit on monday. These credits normally come in by 9:30 AM EST but if Greenfield is behind it maybe closer to 12PM EST. Please do not panic if your surveys do not credit by 9:30AM.

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.

Unfortunately, using another email address or changing demographics (ie having another member of your household try to qualify) is no longer permitted and can result in bannation from GF and potentially SR. Ground rules are being developed on surveys and will be posted when finalized. Until then, please only use 1 email address per account and 1 set of demographics. Thanks!

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.

Please do not submit TT to Sunshine Rewards for survey credits. SR is not able dispute credits. SR has instituted the new link on the bottom of the survey page if you run across any surveys that give you error messages. Posting about issues here will NOT get them resolved by Greenfield

Update from Tricia - 7/10/08

Sometimes someone besides GF hosts the survey. In that case, you do NOT get taken back to SR at the end. And you do NOT get your credit the next day. But within a couple of weeks, you will all of a sudden get an extra credit in the day.

A lot of people will post things like "Somehow I got two credits for yesterday but I only took one survey. What's up with that?" It's because the delayed credit was imported by GF.

It doesn't ALWAYS happen that way, but it does happen every month. So sometimes it works out but just takes a bit.

I have problems with the following surveys not directing me back to the SR site after completing them, and not crediting:

Ciao survey on tom tom
Survey on new idea for hand held personal computer device
Survey on Dunkin Donuts vs. McDonald's coffee

Unfortunately, I do not have the URL of the final page, but I will make sure to get it if I experience the problem again.

Here's a complaint that I got this morning:

I just took this survey and it took almost 10 mins of my time, I answered all the questions about diet drinks, then asked me questions for informational purposes after I answered all questions, then told me I did not qualify AFTER I completed the survey...here is the link

I wish I saw this post earlier this morning, then I would have been able to jot down the URL info. I had a survey that took over 15 minutes before it said I didn't qualify. It asked a ton of questions about Vanguard.

Another problem survey. My husband was doing one on online security and different features that could be offered (one time cc, anon email, etc) and just when the survey should have completed it went to a greenfield "survey outage" page.
Here is what the page said:

Quote:

The system is temporarily unavailable. Please check back shortly.

We are performing system maintenance to improve your future experiences at SurveyCenter.

Thank you for your patience.

So I guess another one that I won't get credit for? :(

Maybe not. I've had a number of people in the last couple of weeks report back to me that they got an error at the very end of a survey and then their credit actually did show up the next day.

I seem to have the worst luck with the surveys!!! Again tonight I did one and then it finished and did not direct me back to the SR page. So again I will not get credit (none of the ones I have had problems with have ever credited).

Did a survey for Ten Thousand Villages... It was a nice survey... short, easy and interesting... but it didn't take me back to a sunshine page... but it did say I had completed the survey... guess I'll see if I get credit tomorrow.

I think I did this one yesterday. Have the credits for then been loaded? If so, I didn't get credit for it.

I am not that worried about it, but I wouldn't want others doing it until the issue (if there is one) was resolved.

Okay. I just did the survey for Ten Thousand Villages and was not taken back to SR. Here is the URL of the last page I landed on:

I'm going to try another survey, just to make sure I get one in for the day.

My husband tried to take the daily survey (he tends to have better luck qualifying than I do!!) - first time he spent about 10 minutes, then got an error page - that one was about new technology, then he tried again, this time it was about pain/medication (nielsen entertainment) and after 10 minutes was told he didn't qualify. Unfortunately I didn't notice this thread before, but from now on we'll make note of the last page url! :computer:

Don't worry about it, I just took another survey that same night to make sure that I got credit.

This was wierd.....

I went through about 10 surveys or so this morning and was just not qualifying. I did complete (what should have been MOST) of one survey, asking if I have been diagosed with any of the following, etc. Then, I received a message that I have exceeded my daily survey limit...???? Huh?!?!!?!? :confused:

It will be interesting to see if I get a credit for today, since technically, I never received a notice that I successfully completed the survey...!

I am so aggravated! First, like others today, I did the Ten Thousand Villages survey. Nothing. Just hung up and didn't take me back to SR.

Then DH went through a technology study -- answering many questions about our preferences and thoughts on technology, took about 10 minutes to complete, and it came back to the SR page saying you didn't qualify. WTH??!

So I kept at it, wanting to get one in today, and just completed a survey on moving companies. I am so tired & disappointed now that it hung up at the end and brought me to a blue screen. Here are the URLs of the last 2 pages. It even said thank you for completing, please give us your phone and email since your replies were so valuable we may want to contact you again.

Here's another one that didn't go back to the SR page. It was in regards to joining a panel and talking about office supply purchases. Guess I better go and do another one.

Edited: Tried to do another one just to make sure I got the credit (missed this weekend due to being in Disney) and here is the message I got-

I just got the exact same survey, with the exact same results. :computer:
Is it possible to still get credit? Because after I 'finished' that one, it says there are no more surveys for me. :(
05-28-2007, 08:16 PM

It's possible that some of these will still come through as credits. I did an automobile lease one today where after about 10 minutes of asking me about all of my cars and financing, they finally told me that I didn't qualify. I'm not going to do another so that I can see if that one credits. If not, I'm definitely going to add it to the growing list of problems that we have seen over the weekend that I send to Greenfield tomorrow.

Amen to the financing one. I did that one a day or so ago and got like 28 pages into it and BINGO...not qualifying. LIKE WHAT??? I will avoid them in the future no doubt about it!

I just did the auto financing one as well. Got all the way to the end - the progress bar showed 98%, and then it said sorry, you don't qualify? Frustrating.

I had that same survey on Friday or Saturday(can't remember) that basically freezes at the last screen telling you to make a screen name and doesn't move on. Then ever since, I can't even get past the "there are no surveys for you to qualify" screen. Glad to hear others are having troubles and it's not just me!

I did this survey tonight for mydrinklink and it did not take me back to the SR page after completing it. It asks that I do several short surveys via email over the next few months, which I am willing to do (as long as I get credit for this one, of course!).

I will wait to see if it credits tomorrow, I'm not too hopeful though. :(

I just got that one tonight. It made me mad. Not as mad as this stupid zyrtec one. Its a real survey so far but it is just too detailed and long. I mean reading 20 pages of descriptions for zyrtec then ranking all of those statements and now picking apart what ideas they might be conveying. It is way more than the 20 minutes they said it would take. i'm closing that one down. It is not worth 75 cents.
