Is it JUST the opinion network surveys that aren't crediting for you on FC, but others are credting?  It seems that many people (including myself) are not getting credit for any surveys recently completed on FC.

The yearly price is something I can deal with since I can pay for it with all the Amazon GC I get.

If I am understanding your point correctly, I think you might be making a mistaken assumption. I'm not sure about the initial sign up, but I found out first hand that you cannot use Amazon gift card credits to pay for the Amazon Prime renewal fee when it comes due to re-up for the next year.  My gift card credit was not an available payment option when that happened.


It's still a great deal though.

Something people may not know about.

I have Prime and just ordered a new hummingbird feeder for $10 and change, but instead of getting it with two day shipping free, I used No Rush shipping (a week instead of 2 days) and they gave me $5 to spend later in their pantry. I haven't tried this before, but I am interested in what kind of stuff you can get.

Just last week, my wife used a couple of these credits for the Amazon pantry.  I think she got some liquid hand soaps and dishwasher detergent pods.  Of course, we ended up spending more than the credits we had, but it was considerably cheaper than paying full price for the order -- all things that we would have needed at some point anyway.

May I ask those who have requested support to post here when they get a meaningful response or get the delayed survey credit added to their accounts?  I've only done 4 or 5 surveys that were not paid.  I have not sent a support ticket because it sounds like FC is getting bombarded with them over this issue.  With it being so widespread, it obviously isn't an individual account issue but a wider site issue.  So rather than add another ticket for admin to wade through, I am going to give it the "sit back and wait" approach to see if my credit shows up.


In the meanwhile, it would be nice to be able to check back here periodically to see if any of those who contacted support get any sort of resolution.  If they do and I don't, then I'll know that I need to send a ticket.  But it makes no sense to add to the mix and potentially slow things down in the process. --Kinda like when the power goes out and everyone on the block calls the power company to report it.

I go to the gym with a free membership I received with my health insurance.

Now there is a good idea - from the health insurance's standpoint. If enough people make use of that gym membership, they are likely to be healthier and lower insurance payout costs. There's always a chance of someone overdoing it and pulling a muscle or dropping a weight plate on their big toe, but generally I gotta believe this is beneficial for everyone involved.

Which is the best internet that works best for you?

I use google chrome & I have been having some problems recently, but it just started.

I have used Firefox for years and I love the flexibility from all the plugins and addons available.

I used to use Firefox exclusively for the very reason mentioned by oldbuddy, but then I found that I was adding on too many add ons!  It became buggy and unsteady for me.  I had a problem trying to sort it all out and figure out what was causing the conflict.  I eventually decided to give Chrome a try as a fresh start and have been using it as my primary browser for a few years now.

I am in agreement with everyone else.  HyperMx had become part of my daily FC routine.  I always did this BEFORE trying any surveys or the other hit & miss videos - just to make sure I got in my 5¢.  I then would try a few surveys later if I had the time.


I don't recall the name offhand, but this exact same video feed (right down to the green button to move to the next of the 8 or 10 video frames) is available over at Clixsense, but it is not known as HyperMx.  It has been working steadily there for pennies -- but those obviously don't go toward my 5¢ FC daily earnings...
 


Between the loss of HyperMx and the spotty credit for surveys recently, I am in danger of missing a FC cashout this month.  It would be my first ever non-cashout month, which might make my sponsor wonder what happened to my regular $5 bonus in his pocket!

« on: December 13, 2016, 07:08:02 am »Message ID: 1110743

I just got DQ'd for a mobile phone service survey when the question asked what mobile phone provider I used just prior to my current one.  Alltel was not listed among the choices, so I picked "OTHER" and typed that into the box.  I got an error and it told me in red letters: "Please enter a valid NZ postal code."  ?!?   Obviously the entry field was restricted somehow - I assume the survey code was cut and pasted from another hidden field where the subject was from New Zealand.


Since it would not accept my "Alltel" input, I instead picked the "I don't know/I don't remember" response and I was promptly DQ'd.  I can't say whether I would've been DQ'd anyway, but that $4.00 15 minute survey looked like a sweet deal had I been able to complete it.  (That is assuming the survey non-payment glitch on FC has been worked out)...

I've had two or three surveys over the past week that did not credit. Unfortunately, I have not kept track of which they were or what they were supposed to pay out -- other than the last one for 75 cents.  I was hoping to use those as money earned toward my daily 5 cent minimums, but ended up doing videos instead.  Hoping they will credit soon to get me closer to the monthly payout!  We'll see...

My office is only a half mile from my house, so I can walk if the weather is nice and I don't have other outside appointments away from my office.  But I still often drive just in case...

It depends on how bright they are and sometimes the angle of the beams.  There are some cars (and mostly trucks) where the headlights reflecting in the side and rear view mirrors are absolutely AWFUL.  I think a lot of times it is because of how high the headlights sit on the front of the vehicle.  There have been times where I've had to slouch way down in my driver's seat or adjust my mirror so I couldn't see behind me (both very dangerous, I know) to avoid the blinding light.


Sometimes when this happens, I just find a place to pull over or change lanes and let the guy behind me go past.  It is not ALL headlights, just some, so usually I am lucky enough that the next guy behind doesn't have blinding headlights and I am able to drive freely.

WAY too many to limit it down to just one or two! But as far as Christmas CD's go two of my favorites are In the Christmas Mood by the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Christmas by Michael Bublé

I don't ever do the sports one because I am uninterested in most sports and know nothing about them.  I think there should be a promotion more geared toward women also.  I occasionally forget the Saturday/Sunday one.

I do not disagree with your comment about having a promotion geared more toward women, but with regard to the sports promotions, why not just submit an entry guessing at the answers? You aren't penalized for getting an answer wrong, and you might accidentally get an answer right!  Sometimes the sports questions ask who I think will win between two teams playing each other.  Sometimes the "pick a winner" question is about English soccer matches.  I know NOTHING about soccer or any foreign teams, but I still make my picks hoping for a penny or two if I pick right!
