I got a nice little $5 check from the good people at Opinion Outpost. 
This was also the week my honeymoon with survey taking ended. I haven't given up on surveys, but I'm going to be WAY more selective from now on. I had a couple insanely long surveys last week, one of which DQd me after more than an hour of tediously filling out a minute by minute accounting of a whole week's daily activities (they asked not only what your main activity was each hour of the day, but also what secondary or tertiary activities you were doing at the same time...it was incredibly detailed). I complained and got no response from Palm Research at all.
The previous week I had a similar experience with a survey I got through Daily Survey Panel. When I complained that I had been DQd _after_ fully completing the survey, DSP responded that even though it wasn't actually their survey they would credit me 120 points anyway. Now, that's good customer service.
I like Palm because it's a buck a survey. But from now on, I'm going to be very selective in any work I do for them. I certainly will pull the plug way before an hour on any but the most interesting surveys they offer. I'm not investing that much of my time with a company that won't even respond to my email.
