Nothing to See Here...

Hey, I did a survey on SR the other day, and my 80 cents actually credited! Took until just now, but that's 80 cents I have now that I didn't have before, so that's nice.

You're so close to that $250 point (that was the amoount, right?) - it doesn't make sense to not do some surveys just to get there and then ditch SR for a while!!

I am definitely close.

And DH is being sent on another trip, though a quick one, so the earnings will start again.


you know, I'm sad that you might not to get a big Halloween trip this year, but at least it seems you'll be able to get a one day in. For people like us, even the one day helps!

Hey Sherry! I've been trying to make my rounds again on a few threads so I might as well bump this one back up for you and make a few comments while I'm at it. (maybe I will make it to the Christmas thread with some photos tomorrow)

I can't say that I have ever ended up at my computer 12+ hours a day since I do not have any clients but I do know what you mean about many of the things you try to get done being very time consuming on the computer and not being able to get everything done that you would like. I also do not have the extra work of being a moderator like you do so I don't know how you ever could manage to get it all done. Guess we are just darn lucky we see you around here at all!

So, have you gotten in any of the rewards that you were waiting on? I don't think any of these places get in a hurry to make the payouts. I'm waiting for one from Sunshine... so you know how long that could take... and one from Surveyhead which could take up to 4 weeks. On the up side my little travel fund is up to $138.

I am still trying to figure out how some of these survey places work. I started one a bit ago. Answered yes to all the questions which were easy like in the last 12 months have you bought yourself a pair of jeans, etc... One question was have you bought an airplane? So how many people do you think could honestly say they had? Well, since DH's airplane just got taken out by some high winds a couple weeks ago I COULD honestly say yes..... and you know what the darn survey did? It disqualified me!!! How fair was that???? Anyway, it has been, for me, a tough week qualifying so not making much for the travel funds this week.

So have their been any new developments with the HalloweenTime DLR trip? Have you been in touch with any of your friends to get a feel for their interest this year? Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!


Congratulations bumbershoot on receiving your 80 cent credit with SR! I'm waiting to see a couple of mine show up too. How long did it take you to inch up to nearly $250? I've had a couple $25 payouts but it would probably take me a lifetime to reach that much!

Should put this in my journal, but I figured it would be more fun here. DS just put on POTC3, b/c today's a long day just waiting for Aikido and Robert getting home from his little trip, and he wanted to watch all of them, but in reverse order. He likes to watch the ads before, and one of them is for High School Musical (3, most likely).

Now anyone who has read my reports thoroughly knows that I haven't been the biggest fan. In fact I have felt like the singers and music and floats come out every single time I walk by, to torture me.

But when that song came on, the summer, summer, summertime one (oh maybe it was HSM2?), I got all nostalgic!!!!!! AUGHHHHHHHH.


I do more than just surveys on Sunshine. This last year, the biggest way I've earned money is through Robert's trips. The near useless travel agency that his company uses does his flights (and on this trip, rental car), but I book his hotels. I go through Sunshine to use hotels.com, and they give 3% back on the cost of the room (without taxes). His 11 night stay in Seoul was MOST excellent, I think we got over $80 on that stay alone. And it was a good price for the company (we always make sure it's a bargain!) as well.

I've now done 4 daily surveys and 3 supermember ones (the my 2 cents surveys, but at a 10 cent higher rate b/c I'm a SM, meaning I earned at least $100 last quarter), and they've all credited, which means $5 more! Woo!


Sometimes disqualifications can just mean that you were going a bit too fast, or it could mean that someone else just finished the survey and caused it to close up b/c they got all their responses.

Molly - you mean you got nostalgic for the eardrum-piercing assault that they call music at DCA? (Clearly, I'm not a huge HSM fan either!) That music just seems to go everywhere, blasting out of any speakers it can find in DCA.

 

[bumbershoot]

Nostalgic for being there to hear it...like if I were there, it would be music to my ears, instead of just "omg there they are again, runaway fast!!". Craziness!


In case my spacing didn't make it clear, in my post I was also replying to Marie's questions. Wasn't just randomly spouting about sunshine, LOL.

I understood what you meant! I knew you meant nostalgic for being at DCA/DLR, and I knew you were addressing Marie's issue of being disqualified (after she answered Yes to the question about the plane purchase - which is pretty funny, when you think of it, because how many people have bought planes recently?).

 

[bumbershoot]

That's gotta be a pretty small subset....people doing surveys for money who also have bought a plane!

Besides the payout, by the way, the best part of doing surveys is when, months later (or even longer), you see the products you did surveys for.

It's my birthday today.... I woke up with a headache and then promptly burnt my tongue on some hot coffee!! Great start to the day! I want to be in Disneyland...but not during this heat. I want it to be December now, and I want to be in Disneyland. Or it could be October too, as long as it's cool and not hot!!

Thank you, Laurie and Molly! I'll be waiting on that cooler weather, Michele!

I knew I missed one place to say Happy Birthday. So ...

 

[Sherry E]

Thank you, Jazz! I LOVE that ^^^ Happy Birthday greeting - it couldn't be more appropriate!! I don't know why I didn't see it until today. Again, I didn't get the email alert to my wn TR thread (yet I get the email alerts for everyone else's TR thread)!!
