Did you actually get qualified and complete the survey? I think that everything you click on will be in that list regardless of whether you completed it or not. If you did finish the survey, you should leave the last page of the survey open (it should say something like "thanks for completing the survey" or something like that) until you see it being credited to your account. I haven't done the surveys in a while, but when I have done them, I'm credited within a couple minutes or at the most, within the hour.
Clip and go never worked for me, so I just gave up. As with the actual surveys, I suggest also leaving the last page of the offers open until you get credited.
Having referrals are the real way to earn the most money on here; but since I don't have any and I only do the $0.15 PTC, daily emails, videos (when there are any), some offers when I have time (the ones that don't require a CC), and the Sat/Sun and Tues/Wed promos; I probably cash out every two months maybe. Yes, you have to wait until you get $25, $15 of which is in offers. Or, if you make $25 in the middle/beginning of a month, you can wait to cash out at the end of the month. That way, you won't be waiting as long to get your money (which always comes around the 20th of the next month, no matter when you cash out in the previous month).
This post does count towards your 30 (contributory) posts
A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines. It's not spam, or an attempt to make money for oneself, and it's not short or missing content. Basically, if you post just to meet the 30 post requirement, you wont qualify.Hope this helps! Good luck!
