I am a student in CU and last week I saw a notice on my department which said that I can earn 99 dollars by participating in a economy survey.It said that it would only take 15 minutes and the survey was a research spured by graduate students in the major of economy,and the only requirement is that the participator must be a student in CU.So,does not anyone want to earn 99 bucks in 15 minutes?At that time I was planing to buy a bike and it is just a little more than 100 dollars.I was so excited that I thought it was a real good choice to earn money,and I immediately communicated with the email on the nitice.However,the organizer told me that the survey had already been over twenty days ago.What a bad luck!This case reminds me another thing:when I arrived at US,I came to Chase Bank for a debit card and there is no any benefit for me.But a few days later the other guys can gain 100$ if they make this kind of card.I think maybe I just do not have this kind of money-fortune.Forget it.

hello, it is good to make 99$ only 15 minutes but what to do no luck. Don't give up maybe you should try other next time. I think maybe we should not put so high expectancy for those that easy money, it will make use feel down when we have no luck for it. By the way good luck next time.

don't worry it sounded like a scam. usually they need lots of students for surveys and $99 would run the costs of the survey waaaay to high on my campus you're lucky if you can get $10 for a five hour participation thingy
