I answered I believe it was from peanut labs ( Survey Junkie) a long survey about mainly tow truck drivers and essential service laws and news videos and wide range of opinions and actually really enjoyed it but it started getting longer and longer till nearly a hour later I was finishing up on the final person questions then finally quit only to be told you did not qualify but here is 3 points for your trouble. Only after complaining to Survey Junkie I rec. an additional 17 points and told you can be disqualified at any time and points are awarded at their discretion but that particular survey was third party and they can do as they wish. Correct me if I am wrong but isnt that a dirty trick get you to do the whole survey to tell you that you disqualified, Another thing i notice is they give you a 15 minute pre survey questions to see if you qualify and its the same question on the actual survey, so in other words they could the same thing after answer all the questions no sorry you dont qualify. It pays to complain because if I dont get anything im done.which i have done on only a few occasion most reasonable survey will give you something.
You're exactly right David. That's why I stopped doing their surveys. I did one for a new upcoming TV show. The show was awful. I guess I didn't give the right answer that the producers were looking for me and they gave me zero credit. 20 minutes for 260 points. After that, I waited until I could cash out for $10 and never went back.
I recently completed a very long survey, whose stated time was ten minutes; its point value was 110. The very first thing I saw when I started it was a disclaimer that it would involve heavy reading, and that the reading alone would take at least THIRTY MINUTES. I chose to proceed, because its description sounded really interesting.
SIXTY MINUTES later, I completed the survey, which involved a real court case, rendering my verdict, explaining why, and so on. It not only included copious reading material (and paying attention to things like police officers' names, the defendant's size), but also numerous videos which had to be viewed in their entirety. I chose to watch some of them more than once, because I took this task seriously, and wanted to be sure about certain details.
The survey's last page stated that it was its last page; it thanked me for my time, etc. Its very last question was optional; it asked if there was anything I would have liked to know prior to rendering my verdict. I answered that, then submitted it...and guess what? Yes, indeed: "Uh-oh! You didn't qualify for this survey" but here's a paltry 3 points for your HOUR of work.
I immediately contacted Survey Junkie, and got the expected canned response about being disqualified at any point in a survey--even though I included screenshots of my browser's history, which corroborated what I was doing for that entire hour, but I also very clearly explained that I had COMPLETED it. After some bickering, they gave me a few more points, but nowhere near the 110 I should've received.
Then it happened again. And again. And back-to-back again and again. Each time, I took screenshots of my starting time, each survey's "thank you for COMPLETING this survey," the time when I ended, and my browser history, and each time I received the canned response about being disqualified. Most recently, I told them--and I'm speaking as a programmer with many years of experience--that there's a glitch somewhere in their pipeline. They told me they had carefully reviewed their records for the two most recent ones, and at their end it says I was disqualified. I told them if THAT'S what they're seeing at their end, yet I'm seeing "thanks for completing this survey," THERE'S A PROBLEM. And I said I will not attempt any further surveys until this issue is resolved.
Now I can see it's not going to be resolved. I've spent as much as SEVENTY MINUTES working on a survey (whose stated time was 25 minutes), worth 70 points, completed it, got its 'this is the last question' message, submitted it, then got 'uh-oh' and 3 points, followed by canned responses. Not nice.
I added additional survey points into an existing point group to generate surface but for some reasons they are not showing. Alhough it did update the surface reflecting those addotional survey points - but again they are not showing up in the screen. The first survey is fine bu not the latter. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have updated it, freezed and unfreezed it but still the second batch of survey are not showing up. Let me say though that the first survey was done through Sokkia SDR total stationing and the second batch of survey was through Trimble GPS.

Just like how I have been doing it for several years now by going in to the Point creation tool and Import Points then selecting what point group I want to. Looking at the "Inlcude" tab in the group property, those points are all there. I'm just buffled what happened.
That is strange. The only thing I can think of is to check the Surface to verify that the point group is the one used to create the Surface. Whey you say "they are not showing." you mean in the Surface, correct?
Yes they are not showing in the surface, the first batch of survey were all visible but not the additional survey. Again it did update the surface when I imported the second survey - they are just not showing up in the screen/surface at all.
Then they either don't have the correct label style or, as rl_jackson said, they're also in a no display group that's higher in priority. Highlight the point group in the prospector and check Label Style for those specific points.
Guys I found it - I don't know what happened but for some reasons those additional survey points are sitting in a different layer and you know why it's not showing up - that layer is frozen. I must have done something I was not aware of. But anyway, thanks for all your input.

Survey Junkie says that you can use its rewards to round out your income and pay for your everyday expenses, such as gas, meals, gifts, and more. But can you really earn a substantial amount on the site, or are there better options for people who want an easy side hustle?
Your timeline to cash out may also be affected by other minor factors. For instance if you redeem on a weekend or holiday, it might take longer. However, the process should never take more than 5 days.
However, you may sometimes randomly be offered short Profile Surveys on other topics. Some of these uncategorized surveys offer the chance to win a few points very quickly by answering just a few questions. Others, however, offer no rewards at all.
Survey Junkie says that you may have to log in to your PayPal account or confirm your PayPal email to use this option. This was the case when our tester redeemed her points; she had to log in to her PayPal to complete the transaction.

I usually prefer working with point reward companies and survey companies that offer ways to earn money besides taking surveys, but Survey Junkie provides enough other good features to make it worth your time and effort, so they made my share with readers list.
Survey Junkie offers a reasonably low cash out threshold of $10. It provides a Paypal payout option, which I used and I got my money in under an hour (site says it can take up to several hours). They also offer electronic gift card options including Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Target and more.
I also like that there is a suggested time each survey should take you listed for each survey and I found these to be reasonably accurate. One last thing that made me think Survey Junkie is worth using is that they give you anywhere from 1 to 3 points when you are screened out of a survey just for trying.
Companies pay Survey Junkie to research their audience and test new products to avoid investing in projects that might fail. By sharing your opinion, you help shape products, and Survey Junkie shares some of its revenue with you.
