  Why on earth does WGT list survey's if you can't take them??? I just clicked through ten survey's and all of them were either closed or they disqualify you....If they are not going to allow us to take them, then they shouldn't be allowed to post them....just sayin

  They only need a certain amount of people responding.

  Keep trying

  If you had ten of them, I guess they must have built up over a good few days. Some are only usable on the day they appear.

  I have been quite unsucessful with surveys as well.  Some show up and it tells me I have already taken them, 95% tell m they have their quota already or it is not a good fit for me. At least on maybe 1% I get 4 or 5 credits for trying.

  I believe it has something to do with demographics as well. I plunk along getting maybe 10 - 15 credits a day from watching the enegizer bunny as many times as it will let me. My wife can get home and get 165 points taking one survey. I gues a 52 year old woman is  more what they are lookin for than a 59 year old retired guy.

  The whole thing with credits kind of gets me. I mean the game is fun and all and I know WGT needs to make money somhow. None-the-less the fun goes away if there is no other way but spending $24.95 one can ever hope to get the top of the line driver and that is just one club!  (and a virtual one to boot).

  I am just not sure how one goes about getting credits to keep pace with your level (allbeit - I have just started) , Here is an example: I entered a 2-round tourney and am currently tied with 17 others for 38th place. If it ends up that way  it will "earn" me about 2 credits. Just to replace the wear and tear on my golf balls is going t cost me 10 -15 credits(?) .

  So for now I am holding back on playing (which makes thisgame so much less fun) buildin up 10-15 credits a day just because I believe I cannot really go anywhere if I dance too quickly.

  If I am wrong let me know - if there are hintson how to get some real credits leme know as well. I am sure I amnot the only one.

  I have the same problem, as everyone should im sure. They need to give more credits and have more videos to watch and give more credits for watching them. Obviously those of us watching videos are not going to spend our hard earned money to buy VIRTUAL golf clubs and balls! If im going to do that i will just get off my *** and go play golf for real hehe. Anyhow just thought i speak mine too.

  Please expound on your reply. I am not sure what you mean by it.

  EasyEdward:

  The surveys generally want 18 - 35yo demographic, employed full time.

  When you see a survey about movies, be an 18yo Female going 1 x per week.

  When you see one about credit cards, you are a 35yo male, married , kids and full time working.

  Persevere with the surveys. they will pay off for you once y get the knack.

  Also, dont be shy of the Offers.

  Sometimes yu could spent $5 on an offer and reap $20 credits.

  eg; GoDaddy Domain name - buy a domain name $9 and get $27 worth of credits.

  It doesn't really matter if you you use the domain name or not.

  Big Fish Games - buy a kiddies computer game for $3 get $12 credits. Grand kids will love ya!

  Flowers - buy $30 worth of flowers and earn credits, makes the missus happy at the same time :)
  There are a few flowers offers, look for the best pay ration

   

  good luck!

  the problem i have with surveys is the lack of them for the smaller countries.lately for me trial pay only permits one survey and then there is a connection issue ?? i clear all flash issues before. at least the is a small chance to earn credits. WGT please marshal what you put on your site. thanks for listening.

  Apologies, EasyEdward. I'd written a long description of how e-commerce companies such as WGT work from the perspective of sponsors/advertisers, the offer of credits for taking surveys & watching videos...and much more. I was in the business and felt a pull to provide some insight.

  Immediately after posting, I wanted to delete it given it's length and dubious relevance, but it's not so easy to do so, apparently. So I edited the post to read as you see it above.

  Hence my fatigued reference to self-censorship. My comment in no way referred to you or anyone else.
