It doesn't hurt to get any quotes for car insurance and while I'm in the market for it, I might as well earn some points while searching. However, I do NOT like the survey ones where I sit and go through pages, and pages of questions, only to get to the end, or what I thought was the end, and then have to complete anywhere between 2 and 9 offers!!! This to me, seems a bit unfair. Any surveys and tasks should mention in the beginning, on the very first page that you MUST complete (spend money, or sign up for trial) offers instead of wasting people's time. IMHO
I don't think you have to complete the offers at the end. I think it is really set up for you to simply sign up for the program, and if you want the prize, free apple ipad or whatever BS, then you must do the offers. I think the problem is that the trackers aren't working properly. Certain browsers are more secure than others, some of us forget to clear cookies before doing one, some of us might have plug ins, or maybe their systems are just piss poor on crediting people properly. I know I've done surveys like that one you describe, and have gotten credit just be reaching the page where they want you to try 2 offers, then another 2, then another 2, then you get a big prize. I've gotten paid for maybe... 2 of them, out of the 20 or so I've tried.
