I remember one that offered $3-4 for a 30 minute survey
Do you remember your best/worst surveys?

The value of $10 is way over the real value

Most of my survey attempts end up with a "You do not qualify ... partial credit of $1 ..." statement. It doesn't matter if it's a $3, $5, $10 or $15 survey. (I believe I did qualify for a $5 survey once. )

I only participate in survey that has more than $20 e-rewards currency. So far, I have done probably about 10-12 of them in the last 1 1/2 year, most of them being $30 and done in approximately 15-30 minutes. The worst of course would be those that say I do not qualify for this survey and award me with $1.

My best was one that paid only like $5, but then led to a one-and-one-half hour phone based focus group, that paid $150.00 in cash. They gave everyone (about 10 people) a choice of e-rewards or cash, and of course you know what everyone selected. Got the check about a week later.

Seems that I am seeing longer surveys with less rewards. More 15-20 minute surveys with $3-$4 rewards. And yes $.50 for not qualify on many instead of $1.00. When faced with a $3-$4 reward for > 10 minutes or $1 for not qualifying, I intentionally try to not qualify and take the $1 for 30 seconds of my time. It's been a while since I have received any offer over $20.

Well, today I did a $20 survey which was supposed to last 30 minutes, although it took about 20. That's still a long time, but the $20 posted immediately, which is what really matters to me!
