Is it just me that finds it almost impossible to finish a survey, sure i get part credits for taking part but in almost 20 studies or so i never get past the first few questions obviously because i dont qualify for the survey but its bizzarre that i never qualify.
The latest one today was about hotels i stay in for leisure or business i put 5 star for both types of travel obviously they wanted me to say 4 star end of survey!
Does anyone else finish these surveys?

cheers

Yes I do, and I have gained a lot of VS miles from them. Like you, I also didn't qualify for the full survey on the hotels one (I put 4* and 5*), so maybe they were wanting to know more about budget hotels, it is difficult to predict what they are looking for.

I currently have just over 7k points in my account, so as soon as I hit 8k I will move them in to my VS account for 2000 FC miles. I usually hit 8k point every 3/4 months, so get about 8000 FC miles every year from it (think it is max one transfer per quarter), not bad for filling in a survey or 2.

At least you guys are still hearing from them - don't think I've had an invite for the past year at least.

We've started getting a few more recently. Like Neil I was getting 2K miles a quarter, but the surveys dried up a bit over the last 6 months.

Me too! though had an email from them fairly recently saying I had some miles to convert. Maybe I'll do that and that will reminmd them to send me some surveys !

Thanks for the tip- I will go for 3 star when I do it!

Filling in a survey or two, more like 200 surveys!
I cant imagine you getting any work done on a daily basis

cheers

I agree that it dried up for a few months but has come back recently. I quite like doing them as a distraction from carrying on working when I get home!

I only get one or two a month and very rarely get to do the full survey. Neil are you switching your answers to try and trigger the full survey for the points

I wish!

Oh there are many surveys I don't get to do the full survey. I woud say I get about 3/4 emails a week on average and make sure I answer them as soon as I get the email.

One thing I do, is I update my profile on a regular basis, I remember reading somewhere that even if you just re-save the info already in there, it keeps your profile more active, how true that is, I don't know.

I also do yougov surveys, and know that if you dont fill in the non rewarding monthly oracle survey it goes against you for future reward surveys.

Much the same for me. I did wonder if it was gender related but Mr DL hasn't had much of late either. The last one I completed in full was about UGGS

Mrs JP's account has been on 6760 points for over a year,waiting for 8000 for the top HH reward,she never gets a survey even after adjusting her interests a couple of times.Bit of a waste of time now as I've emptied our HH account.

Don't the reward points expire after a certain period? I have just over 7k currently, but it states that 4.5k of those expire on the 31st August. Might be worth you checking and moving them for a lower level redemption so you don't lose them.

After saying I'd not had a survey for ages one poped up on Friday - 25 points for saying I didnt have a car !

Updated profile so hopefully a few more will arrive.

They do seem to be increasing, I had 3 over the Easter weekend.

I used to get a lot of surveys, now I get just 1 a month. And mostly, my answers get me booted out of the survey and I get the minimum amount.

I can see my points expiring before I get another 1000 Virgin Miles.
