Yep. I did it.

Same. I selected only "regular" items, nothing plant-based or any other variant. We'll see what happens.

Edited: Just got the "Thanks for applying! Unfortunately....." email, so obviously, my answers weren't what they were looking for.

Hint hint, for those who haven't submitted the survey yet.

If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown

I was thanked for applying and told to wait for more information next week.

The 'more information' asked what year I was born. The next screen claimed there were enough folks in my demographics so thanks but no thanks. Same here if it would pay .40/ 15 minutes.

I failed too. I think they wanted plant based as I did not include that. I don't think the plant based cheeses taste that great so doing a shop for a small pay and reimbursement for something i don't care about is not my cuppa.

I got the survey because we use Silk Almond milk in our house. But I stopped halfway through the survey that was supposed to take 20 minutes because honestly I just lost interest. As usual for this company it is a lot of work for a very small amount of pay. I just decided I really did not care.

I got the 20 minute survey too. Geez...they really do want something for nothing. I have not delved into it.

Seems like all online surveys that pay (I do survey junkie) greatly underestimate the time it takes to actually complete the survey.

So the quick 5 minute survey where you make $.40 takes 15 minutes. I also answered all the regular stuff and didn't qualify which appears, now, to have been a good thing.

I failed the second survey too. Not sure what they’re looking for as I eat plant based products.

I stopped the survey half way through, and we were on a nine hour car ride. It was too much. I can spend the $2.50 for the almond milk.

I saw they have a job on the board "loyalty rewards" They want you to buy something over $5 you won't get reimbursed but it's okay you can return it if you wish to later. Yeah, I'll pass, make me do more work for less pay.

Got through and it's a product we regularly purchase. At the end it said, great, since you already have it, you don't need to purchase it. Lol. So, I guess I can get paid for the long survey but not reimbursed.
I probably would not bother if another one came up.

I failed the second survey but I only spent 2 minutes and 29 seconds on it.

I failed but got another one, which i passed. I received the actual survey and stopped - too long. Plus, I had used up the milk. They underestimate how much time someone will spend answering questions for a few bucks.

Thank you all for that input. I am staying away from it.

Agreed. I met all of the criteria, and now they are sending me reminders to do these. It's not going to close to my going rate, unless it takes me under 90 seconds to do it.
