Thanks Gilad for the surprise bonus!
I definitely remember point #1 below (thinking an attention check had an error so I pointed that out) and point #2 might have been because I think there was also a "no-penalty" question at the end concerning pay fairness of the HIT which I responded towards the poor end as the task said about 10 minutes and it took me 25. I know I'm a snail doing surveys, but surveys that are accurate saying about 10 minutes should have taken me about 15 min tops.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,
You've received a bonus from Gilad Feldman for work related to 3WRKFXQxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
The value of your bonus is: $0.35 USD
The Requester included this note:
Thank you for taking part in our survey on government policies.
After a pretest run of 30 participants, we realized two things:
1) we had an issue with a comprehension check.
2) we underestimated the time required to complete the survey.
Apologies. But that's what pretests are meant for.
We'll improve on that for the next run.
For now, a small bonus to say thank you for bringing that to our attention and helping us improve.
Gilad Feldman
Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!
Sincerely,
Amazon Mechanical Turk
