    I have never seen any bonus points in my surveys (that I can remember).
    I'll have to check out the settings to darken the image on my scanner - I haven't had to worry about it before, but I'll play with it to see what it can do. I have an HP multi-function (printer/scanner/whatever). Thanks for that idea!

    This means if you wait until the last minute on Wednesday to submit your goals, make sure to adjust for the fact that you will only have 4-5 days to complete them.
    Don't forget to set your 7-Day Challenge Goals if you haven't already - Starts April 12. Sucks because if you are restricted from taking surveys, the challenge requires 3. And one Magic Receipt is required (purchase from the approved products/store). My ex can't take surveys, so he won't be setting goals.

    When I scan my receipt, I set it to black and white. The receipt looks a lot clearer that way.

    Watch out for survey #63993160. It was one that I took on my iphone. It claimed it was 7 minutes, but took at least 20. It was all about plasma donation. After hitting the final submit button, it DQd me. I have no idea how to take screenshots on my phone and couldn't remember how many points it was worth. So aggravated. I submitted a help ticket anyway, but probably won't get credit for it, since I have no proof.

    If anyone sees this survey #, can you please post how long and how many points it was worth. I couldn't remember for sure.

    My daily goal is 124 today. I may not make it for the first time in quite a while. Can't seem to qualify for surveys, and when I do, it DQs me. Ugh.

    I'm really tired of these surveys that take 15 minutes of entering all kinds of information and opinions and then don't give me points. I don't understand why MP doesn't get rid of these companies.

    Receipt printed out very light. I knew it wasn't going to work, so now it's under review. *Sigh*

    Fingers crossed, because that's worth 425 pts!
    I use a scanner on my printer. I don't find that using Black & White does much to help light copies. I am on Windows 10 on my laptop. I open File Explorer and open the light receipt document with Photo. Then I use the Photo edit features to make the file darker. I've also used that feature to draw an arrow to an item they can't find!

    Thanks for the advise about the receipt and scanner. My scanner only works on my desktop, and that isn't running anymore. I don't have a printer/scanner for my laptop yet. (and it's Chrome). I'll just have to wait and see what they do with my help ticket. I'm sure the receipt can be read by a human, just not their program.

    My goal today went up to 124 as well, compared to 74 yesterday and Friday.

    Quite irritated with surveys the past 2 days. I know I've clicked on at LEAST 200 a day, and have only qualified/completed for two!! (I'm shocked at the amount available too. Usually there aren't any on weekends).

    I noticed the dq amount went back up to 5pts each for me. So far today I've had 9, for a total of 45 pts. Seems odd to me. (Not complaining though...lol)

    What I really wish they would do is get to the point of the survey upfront! Don't ask 10-20 questions about name, gender, zip code etc......and THEN ask if I work in the construction industry. ASK THAT FIRST!! Then narrow your group down from that.

    Question #1. This survey is geared towards those in the construction industry. Do you work in construction industry?

    Question #2. Gender

    Question #3. Age,

    etc..etc...etc....
