Hi, all! Glad to see that enthusiasm still pumping for QR! Lots of questions to answer today so let me get to it!
Disney*Dreamer, you're
not driving me nuts at all! Hit me up with any and all questions. I'm happy to help!
First question:
Samplicio's insistence that you have a teenager. 
This is a message you're getting when on Samplicio's router during the screening process, which means it's a glitch in Samplicio survey programming. Once we hand off the member to the router, it's kind of out of our hands since we don't program the surveys. But I am sorry to hear that they have this messed up and that it's affecting our members (including
Wanna be Ariel). Once they reach the quota for this particular survey, it should go away and you won't keep getting asked about kids you don't have!
Since you posted this four days ago, it's probably already been completed and removed from the router.
Next question:
Disney*Addicted wanted to know,
Did we drop our reward for trivia? Nope, it has always been a half a cent (50 qp). If your qp balance is 50 or greater, when you get trivia right, that'll bring you over the 100 qp that converts to a penny, so you'd see your balance increase by $.01. If you have under 50 qp when you correctly answer trivia, your cash balance will stay the same, but 50 will be added to your qp balance...bringing you closer to that magic 100 qp number needed to convert to a cent.
Next:
the progress bars. The top one is the Token progress bar. If you reach 100% on the token progress bar (equal to $25 in QR earnings) in a calendar month, all of the tokens you earned that month will be doubled. This is a monthly goal, so it resets at the first of the month.
[I *think* that Elite members' tokens double automatically without having to hit that $25 minimum, but am not sure...will find out and let you know!]
The bottom two bars represents your progress toward achieving Elite status. You can reach Elite status in one of two ways: by reaching 100% on the survey progress bar (equal to 75 surveys in a quarter) or by reaching 100% on the shopping progress bar (equal to 5 cashback shopping orders of $10 or more in a quarter). Because these are quarterly goals, they only reset after a quarter ends.
Next:
Disney*Dreamer was concerned about missing surveys and
emailing for manual credit. A spreadsheet is what many of our survey takers use to make sure they're being credited correctly. We don't mind issuing manual credit because we assume our members are honest, and that this will help keep them active (and we'll eventually earn back the money we're out of pocket for non-credited surveys). Not clearing cookies is almost always the problem when surveys don't credit. As long as you do this daily, right before going to QR or our emails to attempt surveys, you shouldn't have any (or many!) missing survey credits. We have a max number of manual credits we will issue a member in a month, and also in a single day (not sure what it is), because having this happen often is an indicator that there's a cookie problem that needs to get fixed right away. We don't want to go out of business for issuing too many manual credits when it's something the member can fix. But we certainly do what we can!
Next question:
Guess My Number. You only have one chance, per game, to enter the correct number. If you try again, you won't be given a place to enter a guess. Otherwise, people would just guess 1, 2, 3, etc. until they got the right number. Since you just have one shot at it, a bunch of us post what we guessed and whether it was high or low, to help our fellow members make more informed guesses. There are some lurkers who don't contribute...just waiting until it's narrowed down pretty well and then swooping in to grab the right answer. But fortunately, many people do take a stab at it early on in the game and post their responses to help others. I always say while they may not earn QR points, they're earning good karma points.
Next:
Are tokens worthless for Canadians? NOT if you're an Elite member. Regular members can cash out tokens for merchandise prizes only, which can't be shipped (at least, not inexpensively) to Canada. But Elite members can cash out for
Amazon or miscellaneous gift cards. I don't think we ship snail-mailed GCs to Canada. [I'm not sure, but will find out.] But emailable GCs should be fine for our Elite Canadian members to redeem tokens for. Let me double-check this with Dmitry and I'll let you know.
Hi,
sophie832! You're doing great by earning $25 in a month! Not only is $1 a day doable, but some folks earn upwards of $5 or more some days. Keep up the good work! Oh, and please email support about that technical error you had in today's beverage survey, and we will issue you manual credit for it.
Disney*Dreamer, I just saw that you left a comment as I was typing this long diatribe! LOL. I don't do the support emails so I can't look into it personally, but if you'll mail me (becky@quickrewards.net) and tell me your QR email addy, I'll contact our support person to ask her to look for your message and to CC me on her response to you.
I left a long response on another post yesterday about
what causes surveys to not credit and what you can do about it. Maybe it will help!
I know, this is my 3rd since you were here last.
because when we cancelled last year's trip, I understood we would go this year. But I warned him next year I'm booking airfare when it first comes out and the kids & I will go without him if he changes his mind again.
