Hi @samm07 ,

I do a LOT of surveys and get disqualified a LOT! It's definitely annoying, but you will find that as you do more with certain companies, you will be disqualified less, as they will be able to target you more directly. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for all survey companies, but some (especially those that are directed at Canadians).

Good luck

A bit off topic but I see lots of people cashing in with survey's which is awesome! Does anyone have trouble getting anything that you qualify for? I've joined a few and I spend 5-10 minutes on preliminary questions just to be told I don't meet requirements  so I get fed up wasting my time to get 1 $.50 credit every 15 attempts. I was wondering maybe I need to do more and they start getting more focused on things I qualify for?

Thank you. I think surveys are one of those things I'll pass on. I hate how much free info they get. Like answer 25 questions and oh sorry you aren't a doctor of neuroscience? Sorry no quarter for you! 😒 well my profile says I work with animals so yah... Lol but it's cool seeing how much everyone makes

Well, after donating some in need food items and some other items to my schools food bank, I entered into a draw with each eligible item I donated (4 boxes of Barilla Pronto Pasta at a cost of -$0.10, and 2 things of Quaker steel cut oats at a cost of $4.07), I WON the draw which is for a $50 grocery gift card (Think it's Sobey's). That's worth a whole month of food for me, but will probably work some magic and use $20 of it to donate items back to the food bank.

Also only $0.50 away from a cheque from Caddle, it's been a good week so far, aside from the looming exam period

Redeemed points from PC for a $100 Home Depot card (mostly accumulated thru the bacon deal last week) and gave it to my son who is a journeyman carpenter for his birthday present. He was pretty happy with it. Love that young man to pieces.
