Or it's the general screening out response where, say, you just answer that you don't have arthritis for a question when the survey was really about OTC arthritis cream.
Jeesh. I don't think these survey offers are for me. This is the second time I've tried this and I can't ever get one completed. I always get messages like this. Maybe I should lie and pretend interested in everything, I suppose...

Uhhh, yeah.

Although I no longer say I drink alcohol or have any sort of medical issue as I dislike those suveys as they tend to be long.

You have to try to "read" into what they are looking for. If one of the choices is " out of the ordinary" that's usually the subject they want to know about.

Anyone else struggling with surveys today? I am being thrown out of every survey. Extremely annoying day.

Is there a 5 a day limit?

I usually hit 5 a day and then am out. Also yes, yesterday was pretty bad- but still got my 5 in too.

This sucks, after all it is for an airline and they do fly internationally
I live in UK but was able to get it by putting in an american address and use a vpn. Not sure if they would accept that though..

Pretty sure the survey I took today for Sierra Mist TWIST soda is one I've taken before. Guess they haven't finished developing it yet.

Completed a survey on writing instruments (50 miles) and an invite to receive a pen by mail and to do an evaluation.

Pen arrived a few days ago. It's some sort of basic felt tip pen. It also came with instructions on how to mail the pen back after the evaluation period had ended. I guess they want to see how much of the ink was used, if the felt tip gets worn out, etc.

Yeah right. I'm not keeping a two week log and mailing back anything! Pen went right into the desk drawer, the log on pen use for two weeks went into the trash.

I'm back again. Now I remember why I took a break. After 6 tries this morning I finally qualified for one. Very boring. I miss the magazine ones as I had those down pat.
Got my last check for my teeth strip. Definitely going to miss that one.

I finished my first survey. How long will the miles get into my UAL account?

Thought I had used the UAL shopping portal last month and I bought something, but the miles or any activity never showed.
Check your account. They should be there now.

You get frustration doing the surveys. Instant gratification with the points.
