We're sending surveys, are you getting them?

UPDATE: App users are getting the survey notifications much quicker than email notifications.

This means they will have a better chance of NOT screening out.

A lot of you are new to market research online surveys

Things you should know

When you've started the survey but you don't meet the survey requirements, this is called screening, and you won't be required to complete the full survey. You still get 5c for attempting.

Surveys are almost always targeted to groups and specific numbers in those groups.

Completed a survey but your account wasn't updated?

Survey warning image

Don't worry, this will have been a client issue, and we'll fix it after the project completes.

This happens rarely, but it does happen.
