I haven't gone beyond signing up, but I saw this: Payment Time: Payment is received exactly 7 days after the test is completed, including the time of day. So if you complete a test at 5:00pm, you should expect to be paid around 5:30pm, 7 days later. Occasionally PayPal has 24-48 hour delays on payments, so please wait an extra 48 hours before contacting support about a payment issue since it should resolve itself.

It's weird, on their payment schedule is shows 'pending' and a test I took later in the day on 2/13/20 was paid and Paypal sent me a notification. I think their system had a hiccup.

When are you going to dip your toes in the pool so to speak? Once you do a few you'll regret not having dived in sooner. I absolutely love them.

I got to do one of their studies on my new iPhone and I was very pleased with how the app worked. I mostly avoid the ones for the Android phone because most of the time the recorder doesn't work correctly (and I've seen others comment on that in Reddit; apparently it depends on the brand of Android you have and not necessarily the operating system version). It's just too frustrating. The studies for iPad and desktop PC work perfectly 99% of the time. I was stressed for the first 5 or so and then it became old hat. The first Live Sessions were nerve racking but now, piece of cake.

Off to read my latest book and eat hummus and pretzels - I finally took the plunge and tried hummus, despite the fact it looks like something found in a diaper, and found I like it a lot.
Hummus is so good. Eating it with pretzels is a good choice, it's my go to if I don't feel like pita chips. Enjoy!

Good night and good luck all, I reached my maximum attention span much earlier, and it's been steadily downhill since. Time for me to crawl into bed with snacks. DOOL, and cats. Including the damn cat that chewed through my headphone cord...

I tried it first with bagel chips and I think those are my favorite but pretzels aren’t bad. I’ll give pita chips a try.

Thank you for contacting me.

It turns out the algorithm we used to pay participants was wrong. We’ve submitted a report to approve all the participants we wrongly rejected, and you were among them. The program will take around a day to process the report.

Thank you for taking your time with the survey, we really appreciate it. Your bonus with extra winnings will come within a few days.

Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the slip up.

I do not make up anything that is not true in in taking any survey. I would really like to know exactly what I did wrong to prevent this in the future. At the very least please use my data as it is accurate.
