An easy $2

I received a survey in the mail. It was in an 8.5 x 11 envelope. It was a study conducted on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Included were two crisp $1 bills.
Completing it didn’t take much time at all. Pretty much all I had to do was put an X in the appropriate boxes to answer the questions. I sealed the envelope and have to drop it into the post office mailbox. I hope it will fit into the slot.
When I do surveys online I usually don’t get anywhere near $2 for one and they take some time to complete.

Definitely an easy $2. When my mom had someone come to the door and gave her a survey to do and then two follow-up surveys followed, those were long and time consuming. But it paid in total over $100. I forget the exact amount.

@lovebuglena That's strange that they would come to the door!

Hubby didn’t want me to do it but it wasn’t like I had to provide very personal info.

I thought I’d have the option to do it online but there wasn’t. Hope envelope will fit into the mailbox slot.

I've gotten a few of those. Most don't get done but I still keep the cash.

@lovebuglena Well, you do have to remember, those serveys that come in the mail, aren't meant to be done by a blind person. If George wants to help me, then I'll do them, but if he can't or doesn't I just pocket the money.

I didn’t mind doing it, though hubby said not to do it. Aside from asking my age I don’t think there was any personal info they wanted.

I had one of those recently, but I never took the survey (I had ever intention to do it but life got in the way). There was $3 in the envelope of the one I received in the mail.
I completed a survey this morning for an in-home test of a product, qualified and received 200 SB ($2) They are sending me two products to test for two weeks (one week for each item), and I will receive another 400 SB on each follow-up survey I complete on the two products. When all is said and done, I will earn 1000 SBs ($10) and will also get to keep the products I will be testing.

@lovebuglena I've tested coffee makers, deodorants, jeans, vacuums, razors and more. I had to send the vacuum back after the testing period ended, but most of the products I have tested I have been able to keep.

What kinds of products are they? I’m always hesitant to do those in-home things.

I like $5 better than $2. But I wouldn’t mind a 0 after that $5 lol.

Wow! Never received $1 bills in envelope. It is rare to see surveys which are $2 or greater and even if we do , we need to clear them to earn the money. That comes with a low probability. I do not recollect seeing any $2 or above surveys in last few months. Anything close to your experience ,happened to me 2 years ago for a product testing. That was definitely worth $5 or above. Well, based on eth reading , it sounds liks an easy survey. Guess this survey you could not do online or this one was all written or to be filled offline. Well, it is fun to remember such achievements. Enjoy the day and weekend!

Online surveys are easier to complete and you don’t need to mail them. But if there is a connection issue or something goes wrong then you cannot complete them. In that case paper surveys are better.
