Survey tracking

[countrygirl12]

I've been flagged 3 times for "speeding" now on a different survey site in just a couple of weeks, after having no problems for the last 3 years. This last time they told me I finished a 15 minute survey in 2 minutes. No way. Either something went wrong with the survey or their time estimate was wrong. I can see finishing it in 8-10 minutes if I was speeding through, but not 2. I'm not a speed reader. I think they're just trying to get rid of me for some reason. Is it a coincidence that I have $50 worth of points that I haven't cashed out yet? Some of the points are still pending, so I'm not doing anything on that site until I can cash out, just in case they ban me completely.

I think I might start screen recording when I take surveys. Does anyone else keep track of the surveys they take?

You need to cash out your points now!  I don't know why people want to hoard their points or money in these sites.  Anything can happen.  The site can shut down, they can kick you out at any time for any reason - their TOS tells you that if anybody bothers to read them.

I would maybe do a survey every now and then and do it really slow.  Get your pending points and then cash out.  Then start back if you want.  Write down your start and stop time.  I have been told I took it too fast and told I was too slow.  So there is no way to win.

I'm not hoarding points. I can't cash out until the pending points are approved.

I did not say you were hoarding points.  I said I don't understand why people in general "hoard" points.  And they do.  They do it on here.  Wait for a big cash out.  Then cry when they lose money.  As soon as I hit cash out I do so.  On any site.  You said you had the points for a $50 cash out.  So my advice was cash out now so that if they close your account you do not lose your money.

No,  but I am sure someone is always watching what you do.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean. They're basically saying I'm cheating, and I know that I'm not. But I have no proof unless I keep track somehow.

They are not saying you are cheating.  If they say you are rushing thru the survey they are saying you are not reading the questions. Not taking the time to give thoughtful answers.

Yes, they are saying I'm cheating. They are saying I'm not reading the questions and just picking whatever answer in order to complete the survey and get the points. And this is not true. I AM reading and answering honestly.

lol.  You basically said the exact same thing I did.  I guess when I think of cheating I would not think of answering questions too quickly as cheating.  Esp if you are not failing the trap questions.

Although I was asked one about carpet once and I answered honestly and they flagged me and said I failed a trap question.  I emailed them and explained I answered the question correctly but it didn't make a difference.

I'm sorry, I was including the pending points in the $50 cash out. I am with you on hoarding. As soon as I can, I cash out. I'd rather have that money sitting in my savings account accruing interest.

I have been told that I was speeding through a survey but I make sure to read everything just because they put those quality checks in the surveys like click here if you are not paying attention or click on a certain area

That is what I meant.  I know some people let their points build so they can do a $100 cash out or whatever.  I say as soon as you hit it - cash it out.  Get your money.  On the Cashcrate my cousin got to $17 something and the last week or so she could not even get surveys.  Nothing on the site was working for her so she just lost her money.  Since the site closed I think they should pay everyone what they owe them.  If mailing checks is an issue they could say you need PP to get your last pay out.  But anyway.

Hopefully you get your money.  I would get my $50 and then take a break from them for a bit or just do a survey every now and then and give them time to stop microwatching your account.
