I know what you mean, it happens to me all the time, must days I do not have patience for surveys so I try to do the Videos. The 1/2 cents I avoid but you do not need to watch them thru the end. Some one them are extremely long, If you watch 30 seconds to a minute, must of them will credit for you. When I cannot get to the 5 cents on videos and do the Hopster Coupons, they have some good ones and they pay 2 cents per coupon, and credits preety fast too, besides you can use the coupons as well, all in all a good deal
