Are mobile surveys worth your time? Work it out
Add the time spent on every attempt and compare it with the points actually credited.

A five-minute survey sounds like it will fit into a coffee break. If one survey ends during screening and you spend the rest of your break on another, both attempts count toward the time you gave up. The clearest way to judge a session is to compare your total time with the points you received.
Count the whole session
Use the time on the card to decide whether to start. Afterward, count from your first attempt through your last, including any screening questions. If you spent twenty minutes and finished one survey, compare its credit with the full twenty minutes.
Look at the points in History
Say you received 600 points in that twenty-minute session. Divide 600 by 20 and you get 30 points per minute for that session. It’s an example calculation. Use the credits in History → Points/Offers for your own estimate.
Compare it with the reward you want
Pick a reward in Balance and check the points you still need. Each amount can have its own cost. Try keeping track on different days, including when the survey tab is empty. A couple of short sessions give you a better idea of whether surveys fit the time you want to spend.
