Longest 9 minutes ever!
« on: February 19, 2013, 08:36:36 pm »
I was approved for a survey, which made me super happy!  I chose to attempt that grocery one because it said it was 9 minutes, which was the shortest, and I was short on time.  Well, there is no waaaay anyone could finish it in 9 minutes!  Impossible!  It took about 45 minutes!  But, I am happy it was approved, so my complaining is done.  I wish it was more honest, though because I would still take it- only at a time I wasn't so pressed!

Your Right, It was a-lot longer than 9 mins. to take... BUT... If you had noticed at the beginning (think it was on the 2nd page of it) it said if you needed to quit at any time that they would send you an e-mail so you could continue again where you left-off (how often do ya see that)... I don't know how true that is because I was able to complete it and get credit...
Now you gotta admit, that's the kinda survey that's better than after answering 100 questions and/or 90% complete,then tell you "you've not qualified" ... BTW, this is the 1st one (survey) I've been able to take this month.

I'm bummed that I don't get any-more Paid To Call offers (not in the last 2 months)...Is it something I did ???

Wow that's a serious one. Am not sure I would have had the stamina to go all the way because my mind would have been originally set for 9 mins. I have had to abandon some surveys in the past because of this very reason. Though it's nice to know that you persevered and got your reward. Congrats!!!

I hardly ever qualify, so good job there!

When I do qualify, it never fails that it's an incredibly long survey.

I am rowing in the same boat right there with you. Most of the time I do not qualify either and when I do I get stuck in what seems like a half day marathon to get to the end. Besides not being truthful about the time involved, most of the time they are not even factual about the titling and the subject matter ends up having nothing to do with what was listed. Sometimes that is OK and I still try to qualify, but other times if the title were correct I would not even waste my time. If I were looking at one that was seeking under water basket weavers I probably would automatically disqualify myself since I know I am not an under water basket weaver, however, if once I started the qualifying process it switched to Are you a US citizen? well then yes, that I would qualify as.

If they said 45 minutes I guess no one would do it.  I know what you mean.  It would be nice if it was a real estimate.

I find with surveys that if you qualify, it usually always takes at least 30 minutes and maybe sometimes longer. The mere number of questions is astounding. I am glad that they are point and click, or I would be typing for hours! I still miss some of the selections, and the answer will come back in red 2 maybe even 3 times because you had a list of 20 questions for one question. Example would be: choose from this list the square that best fits your feelings about this product. Then there are about 6 squares to choose from. But at least I did not have to drive somewhere to make the pennies they paid me. Looks like gas prices will actually make this more appealing!

Wow! That is quite a long survey but at least you got credit for completing it. Be nice if it they more honest on how long the survey was.

the reward must be at least $3 and up for 45 minutes and they should be honest about the time it takes to complete their survey.  I applause you for your patient to get the survey done and congrtsss

I never count on the time estimate or content being what it really ends up being.  It's usually wrong.If I qualify I'm happy.

I hate that! I almost never go by the amount of time they list because they're never accurate.
