Given how many of their specialty surveys (videos of your face while you’re watching commercials for additional incentive, ‘get $50 in panel currency for a two week message board on designing the shoehorn of the future’, some of the in-hone product tests) will have a perfectly normal several weeks lag before the incentive posts, if you do a lot of surveys and panels, you get a fair number of sudden balance jumps when those delayed things finally post.

When I see a big balance jump, my first assumption is that they did a sweep and I’m finally getting credit for stuff I did 6-10 weeks ago- I don’t track that stuff too closely because in my experience that backlog does show up on its own time eventually
