I finally got through one and to the congratulations page. I think it's been 3 or 4 days since I completed one and got credit.

did the beer one just a little while ago....now is it too early cause I am very thirsty all of a sudden... of course, it's 5:00 somewhere, right?

I just spent half an hour on surveys that would not complete including the Tyson Chicken survey. I got the same "Page Cannot Be Found" after the commercial.

I just finished one of the oddest surveys I have ever taken. It had about 20 different "topics". From pain relievers to cities in North Carolina to the new Apple iPhone. But the strangest topic they had was about games I used to play during recess in grade school. And which game I would like to see become a competitive sport. So, when you see EXTREME FOUR SQUARE or CELEBRITY KICKBALL, you have me to thank!!

[Elaine]

I just took that same random survey and I just kept thinking that this better not be prequalifying questions for all these different things. But I got credit! I thought professional kickball would be good too.

I know. I thought the same thing because I had that happen last week.
Wouldn't that be great if our employers allowed us to have recess at work? I thought that was a great question.

extreme 4square, LOL....


rant ahead, skip if you wish

I don't have the URL, and it appears we will get credit for it, but DH just took that big long survey about cellphone services, and, as usual, at the end there were the "classification" questions. The wording for that on many surveys has changed recently, and it makes you feel better... "this is only used for classification purposes"....and you don't feel like you're going to get kicked out if you answer differently from what they want.

But this line I felt was naughty of them, b/c they GOT that info at the beginning (or they should have) but it felt like they might boot the taker out at the very end (4 screens from what was the end)... "To make sure we are speaking to a fair representation of people, to which of the following ethnic groups do you belong?"

It's not the ethnic group part of the question, it's the way they put it, that this isn't just for classification, but if we have heard from too many of your group, the 25 minutes you just put in will be for nothing and you'll be booted.


When the surveys changed and we had to put birthdays, I was told it's so they know how old you are. But we give that info throughout the surveys, and with all surveys one's ethnic group/race is given at the beginning, and I just don't understand why they have to ask it MORE times. Especially in such a way.

That's my rant.



Love surveys, love getting credit for them, love the easy ones, love someof the hard ones...but do NOT like seeing those sorts of questions pop up at the end of DH's surveys (or my surveys), that seem to indicate if we got it "wrong" that all the work would be tossed (or used for free).




Also, what was up with an ending question of "have you had any bills go to collections in the last 2 years"? That was crazy! Anyone else get that question at the end of the long cell service survey?

[Kycha]

I have taken that cell phone survey more than once and they always ask the collections question. And I have noticed that more of the surveys I have taken lately ask the qualifying questions at the end of the survey. Fortunately I only had one of them not credit.

I got yet another easy one today that only took a few minutes! It was about identify theft....also got it on my first try too.

I got another super fast one today too...Nexcare. Two days in a row of loveliness!! (probably means I'm doomed to get 45 minute surveys the rest of the weekend!! )
