    The surveys (for whatever reason) have deteriorated dramatically in value in the lasy months.  I can only speak to my demographic, but I've been disqualified more times than I can count in recent months..but not until I've wasted 10 minutes answering the same nebulous questions time after time.  They don't even give the lousy 5 credits anymore.

    So, if you are late middle aged, white, straight, non-hispanic, well-educated and earn a very good income...don't waste your time.  Just do what WGT wants you to do to keep playing - BUY CREDITS!

    QFT!

    Those who are able to afford it should value their time against the "wage" (about 2 $ / hour) and - IMHO - rather invest their money than their lifetime in this fine leisure.

    You say that in every survey thread Alosso. Some people don't have the option of earning extra money to play on here. In some countries earning free credits onsite is quite easy and allows you to play for free permanently.

    Courteney: What's your hourly wage from "free credits"? Include the labour to secure proof, to apply for denied credits and such please!

    When I joined WGT I knew I was not going to spend any money, still haven't. I bought all my clubs, avatars, stand bags and sent gifts using credits earned from videos and surveys, still have a good bank-roll of them. Did my earning in the morning with my coffee, treated it like a game. The object of that game was to get as many "Free Credits" as I could as quickly as possible. To do that, if I needed to be, I would be a a single gay /l,e,s,b,i,a,n gets **** :(  /mother of two living alone. The point being, this is not a court of law but a way to earn credits to play. Learn the system and you soon will see how rapidly those "Free Credits" grow. Be anyone you need to be to qualify for the surveys, this is the internet, no one is coming to check on you.  Just pay me the credits for answering those questions and move on. I rarely read the questions (a quick scan for the "select this answer of this line" so not to get disqualified, then floated down the middle but never in a straight line.

    Good Luck, have fun and EARN!

    Treat it as a game, o.k. Win credits or lose for nought, maybe fun.

    But, I wanna play the game of golf, not "How to lie most effectively". I rather earn money at a better hourly rate and spend it for the game.

    You are soo correct!  It's frustrating to waste your time trying to be equitable to the surveys.  Yes, I could cheat ---tell them what they want, maybe get 5 credits, maybe even get really lucky and spend 25 minuted to earn 129 credits - that's less than minimum wage in the US.  Nope, done with them, until they offer something of value.
