My son got the video game one. He wanted to bail and said it was too long but I made him stick it out and finish.

DD9 got it and loved it and the game. She wants it.

My DS worked all the way through the Nintendo Wii new game survey, but when he got to the screen where he had to identify the above picture (horse, cat, dog, bicycle, etc) there was only a red X. We refreshed the screen and it still had the red x. We took a wild guess, and it was incorrect, so I didn't get credit.

I logged in for another survey, and one came up for my DD for the same thing - new Wii game. The same problem happened on the "identify this picture" screen.

I'm not sure if this was a glitch with the survey itself or something with my computer. However, I've never had a problem with a red X before in any of my previous surveys.

DS got this same survey yesterday. We waited 15 minutes thinking maybe it just took a long time to load then refreshed the screen and nothing happened. Finally he guessed horse and got booted out of the survey.

Grrrr! I just spent close to an hour doing a survey for AOL News and it didn't take me back to SR. Now at 9:30 tonight I have to try again.

Avoid Aol survey!!!


ETA: Looks like I should have checked here first. Seems like there are several people who have had bad luck with the news surveys. I think this is definately one for Tricia to report to Greenfield. Guess I be checking here from now on before I complete a survey - lol.

I just spent close to an hour completing one on yahoo news only to be NOT taken back to SR. I wish I would have checked here first. What a waste of my time to give them all the information they need for their research and then not be rewarded. I also hope that Tricia can get this taken care of so others don't have the same problem.

DD had this one, after the image they go on to show you different pictures and movie clips of a new video game. About 2/3 longer for the survey about said images/movies. So if its any consolation, he wasn't had the end of the survey. Not that it makes it any better, but at least it wasn't a non credit on a full survey. Does that make any sense what I'm trying to say?

did one on Wendy's that wasn't too bad
my condom survey did not credit but they said they would send me free samples so perhaps all is not lost

I just did one on MSNBC and I had to download something to take it. It was pretty easy and painless but it dd not take me back to the SR page and the SR page does not say I have taken my survey. I closed out of another one that I would have had to download something because I did not want to go through that one again. Now I am having trouble getting another one. I know it is early still but I was hoping to get it over with early today!!

Got one on Ebay... not too bad, maybe 15-20 minutes.

Got the same one today. Not too bad, but a bit different than I'm used to. At least it credited!

Glad you got it too, April! ITA with you. It's so nice to read everyone else's experiences with the surveys to know what you're in for when you get it.

Today I got one on student loans. I think it took maybe 15 minutes? It was basically concerning Sallie Mae vs. Astrive. Very easy and not long, so my kind of survey for sure.

Today (Sunday) was student loans for me too! Wasn't too bad, but I got called away and forgot and left for church when I came back it was still there and let me finish it and received credit for it.

I'm 16/16 for the month!

That stinks, my DS got that same survey, he was confused why the heck they asked that, but he was able to see the DOG!
