Is it just me or are the survey companies bombarding us with surveys this month? Is it because it's Christmas? I really don't have time to respond to them all BECAUSE it's Christmas. I'm too busy. Anyone else overwhelmed with survey emails?

I have 2 survey sites that I am happy with. Yes, I was surprised to see so many in my inbox this month. Glad for the extra income too. What I scratch my head on is how many survey sites are offered from the surveys I do.

I have been more selective in the ones I do complete. There isn't enough time to do them all.

Yes, I have made some money from a couple of good websites. I just don't have time to answer them all right now.

I gave up on Surveys years ago. I never seem to qualify for them, and have no interest in taking up a bunch of time to answer enterence questionsl, only to be told I don't qualify for the main survey. I answer so many enterence questions on those stupid surveys that I feel like I have done a survey. Atleast when I did the one for Airmiles, and I didn't qualify they gave me 2 consolation miles, instead of the 5 I'd receive if I qualified. Same with myPoints. I get 10 points even if I don't qualify. I always try for those two. The rest can go away.

I like ipsos because whether I qualify or not, I get to answer the pollster question. The closest percentage I get to the correct answer, the more ballots I receive. I can put those ballots into a choice of four different prizes.

It's so nice that you get so many surveys, perhaps you are staying in United States or Canada? I also think it's because of Christmas which is a holiday season, so it's a good time to get some surveys, or maybe it's because it's end of the year? I don't get any surveys to do...

I get a lot of them, too, but I don't really mind. I get disqualified from about half of them. Some of them start to get annoying though, and I'll just close out the survey without finishing, especially if my compensation is just an entry into a sweepstakes. The ones that actually pay money, I'll try very hard to complete.

Yeah, I get really frustrated with the financial and car surveys.

Thanks for the BR. In the email notice for it, they included your original discussion and my answer... another neat improvement from myLot.

I do remember getting a lot of emails during Chrismtas and I made a note to take them. I have been getting a lot of emails to one of my emails about taking surveys here lately and with school and home life I do not seem to have the time to take them. I do promote a survey site online that I have made some good income from but you must live in the US wish I could help you. Anyway nice post and happy mylotting to you.

I am thinking of removing myself from even more survey sites. Last night I decided to answer a few surveys. Two of them were so long I was answering surveys for over an hour. The dang things are so repetitive it drives me crazy. Why am I doing this for sweepstakes entries when I won't ever win? I am getting a lot again now.

I used to be a member of several survey websites, and now I have deleted the accounts because I could never seem to qualify for any of the surveys, or if I did, then my computer would crash or something and I wouldn't get to complete it. I would get bombarded with emails from the survey sites at the beginning of October all the way through January and take all the surveys, but they didn't work out. So i gave up

Yes, I am bombarded by so many survey emails too. Since I am a member of a lot of survey websites. I just try to make the time near the end of the day to look through them and participate in them. I am a slow reader so it takes me around a half hour to an hour to complete each survey.

Online Surveys just waste my time. They ask many question but in the end, they said, you country is not available for this survey. OH! Hate it very much! That's why I never join online survey again!
