15-20 minutes into this survey, I get hit with this: "Thanks for your willingness to participate. Unfortunately, we have already filled our target response limit."[/td][/tr]
I'd submit that shit anyway.
Likely an error.

I started in Feb of 2013... took like 2 1/2 years off and my first day back was 3/27. I feel like im pulling teeth some days but Im getting there. I found the scripts to be useful, we didnt have any back then. Now they have Panda Crazy and it catches hits for you that you are waiting for. :)
Also this is the slow time of year so don't get too discouraged.
Picks back up once summer session stars for colleges right? Please say yes.

I turked for 2 years, then was gone for two years. About a month in now and finding just how useful MTS is.

Here's to luck for both of us... :cat:

ETA Just signed up with SwagBucks as an alternate side hustle. There seems to be an element of a pyramid scheme, still have to decide if I should continue perusing.

Yawn. Those Math hits suddenly stopped approving and/or rejecting last night. I wonder if the guy got the message after having his inbox explode.

Then I'll just assume the requesters are patiently waiting for me to drink my coffee first.
Does that work? I didn't know that worked. I just assumed that if I tried to drink coffee or cook food(or try to eat it) that I'd catch 4 big short timer HITs all at once. So, don't eat/drink.......hey! On second thought, we should all go drink/eat right now. Better'n a batch dance to bring the HITs up. Pandas will go crazy. I know I will.....not that I'm very far from that now.

We're coming up on a pretty major holiday weekend, so I would suspect that the current slowness is related to that. It will probably start to pick up again by the the middle of next week.

But you never really know with MTurk. We could just get lucky and have something amazing drop today.

I like to think he got so fed up that he smashed his computer and now has to go buy a new one before he can approve the rest.

There they sit. All in a row. 1....2....3.....4....pandas. Sittin' there, timing ....tick....tick.....tick. Running all out, gettin' nowhere. Not even turning purple. I could almost believe they are not turned on.......I checked again. They are. Come on requesters! Feed the pandas! So we all can eat......well, not bamboo. I don't eat bamboo. (looks in mirror)I'm not a panda. I'd look better.

Well, will just stay positive. Already hit my $10 goal for today so now anything extra just bonus.

Of course, we'll see how badly tomorrow goes now that I've actually done some surveys.

SB is okay their surveys are pretty awful, mainly products/brands, but if they disq you after you did the survey or 90% of it you can file a ticket with their CS and submit screenshots to get the credit. Occasionally there are good offers to spend X and get X or X+$2-5 back in their points but the catch is you have to cancel to not eatup that reward, keep on top of it if it doesn't payout (usually an error) or worse have an annoying cancellation or you don't read the offer terms and are locked into a longer period than you thought. I've only done a couple things I paid to get points back equal to or greater than the price I paid. Mostly I did surveys but it is a lot of wasted time being disqualified and answering the same questions over and over.

Of the survey sites on the internet after prolific/pinecone SB is the best I've seen because of the CSR reimbursing you for surveys that don't pay the others make you eat it.
