[Note: This mostly applies for US members, as other countries may have slightly different survey setups]
When completing the daily surveys (DS) each survey has a particular congratulations page you should receive if it is going to approve.  This thread is for all new TT members who have concerns over why they have not been crediting.   Special thanks to yearningyeti for capturing the approval pages for DS 2 and 6 and a thanks to nikkums for the updated screencap for DS 5.  Note: seeing these pages will not guarantee you will receive credit, but on the other hand it is highly unlikely you will receive credit if you don't see these pages.

Survey Approval Times

Special Notes:
DS 5 will always have a review the survey page before you get the approval, make sure you submit this otherwise you will not receive credit.
* DS 7 now has a failed to complete page that reads: "

Although you didn't qualify for this particular survey, we thank you for your participation."

DS 8 may not have a link to another survey on the approval page, but should credit just the same.  Note that DS 8 has a two level cap, one is daily (100 surveys) and the second is monthly (approximately) based on how many people actively complete their surveys.  So it's possible that DS 8 will run out of surveys by a few days to even a week or two left of the month.  When the month's cap is hit, survey chains will be preserved assuming you had one prior to the quota being filled.

Note: This may also appear with a "Return to Your Originating Web Page" instead of a link to another survey.  It should still credit.

A thread with that info should be placed somewhere easy enough for anyone taking surveys to see it as it is that important. Maybe with the survey tutorial section or something. It should not be in the forum alone where only a tiny fraction of survey takers will see it. A couple of notes...

Survey #7 will show you that exact screen sometimes when you fail (didn't qualify) for a survey. You will not get any kind of credit in this case. I'm staring at it right now.

Survey #8 has a second congrats screen. The message says something like 'THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OPINION-CENTRAL! PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW' or something like that. You will see a blue checkmark. This is also a congrats screen that has always credited me. If you ever see it, you should screenshot it and add it to #8 after you confirm getting credit yourself. I haven't seen this congrats screen in awhile though.

Hey, thanks for the info, ryan337lee!  

But you need to update the image for DS#1 - looks like TT freshened the page so that it's easier to read!!  

Thank you, too, TT Tekkies!

Thanks for the input MikeSol.  I know you've been doing surveys for quite some time so I am inclined to believe you, however, I have never seen the congrats screen you have describe for DS 8 and I have yet to see a DS 7 rejection screen identical to the congrats screen. Note that a did not qualify for a survey screen for DS 7 will state: "Thanks for your interest, a survey isn't currently available."

Yes, I've seen the 'survey isnt curently available' message as well. I wouldn't expect you to add anything to your original post unless you yourself actually see what I'm describing so that's ok.

Ryan here is DS 2 success page, as you requested. Do you also need DS 6?

[ryan337lee]

Thanks yearningyeti, if you can get ds 6 as well that'd be great.

[yearningyeti]

Here is 6, almost the same as 2,

I have never seen the congrats screen you are talking about for DS 8, but I have seen the screen you are talking about for DS 7, it occurs when your survey fails and DS 7 is out of surveys for you.

[MikeSol]

Guess what Ryan there is *another* congrats screen now for #8. It has the same orange arrow you have in your own screenshot but above the arrow there is different info. It will thank you for joining the mobile cellphone panel or something like that. It was a survey about my smartphone. You may want to add that one if you should ever see it yourself.
