The days I hate
« on: December 09, 2011, 01:50:25 am »
This is an example of a bad day of surveys.  I got no credit for any of these three and they were all done one after the other.  I experience such about once a week and have no clue as to why.  There has to be some sort of underlying reason as when I fail to get credit on one survey, the exact same thing will happen on any additional ones I do that day (well at least within a few hours timespan).  It isn't that I am complaining just to complain it is more that I wish to know what I can do to prevent such a thing.

Well give them time. Ive had surveys that take up to a week or more to credit. I dont know why they are like that, they just are. I know its annoying but if you did it right then you should get credit for it.

On these, where you can do one in 24 hour period, I have never have them credit if they don't within 30 minutes or so.  I don't know why this is either, but I do know that if it occurs with one that day it will occur for the rest as well.  I can even take another survey from the same provider and complete it again and not get credit.  I know there is likely an explanation, but it is likely something beyond my control to resolve.  I just really wanted a reason other than "sometimes these things happen".

After looking at your account the only thing I would suggest is that you try to do surveys before 9pm PST (midnight EST) and try leaving 27 hours between attempts rather than 24.  Might want to start your survey session for the day by clearing cookies, but that doesn't always help (if you do it at the wrong point in the process you will actually hurt your chances of being credited).

I know it's annoying that we don't have a better answer for you, but the unfortunate fact is that there are literally millions of configurations of browsers, addons, antivirus software, and all the interactions between different versions of the same.  Plus internet connection issues, particularly if you use wifi or have an unreliable connection.  All of these things can lead to bugs that are extremely difficult to reproduce, and if you can't reproduce a bug, it's tough to eliminate it.

I understand completely and I value and will try to utilize the suggestion you have given me.  Thank you very much.

I hate the ones that take longer to add the credit so I try to stick to those that add instantly myself.
