Alright, so I have been doing surveys for quite some time now and I want to share a few tips with you guys to hopefully increase your success in getting them to credit you.

Gravity makes tons of money when you complete a survey, so you're not only helping yourself out here.
This has a HUGE impact on the revenue generated, which means you'll get updates and improvements much faster!

Let me start off by saying that most of these offers are only available to US and Canadian residents for the most part.

I personally use Firefox, but I'm sure you can obtain the same results with Google Chrome.

First thing you'll want to do is grab a sandbox program (This allows you to download programs and games without spyware and adware making it to your computer.)

I personally use sandboxie which can be found here http://www.sandboxie.com/

This is free software and what you're essentially doing is running a clone of your browser which isolates anything you download to the sandbox.

You can read more about it on the website. It's very simple to use and will save you tons of headaches and alleviate your fears of picking up something nasty.
You can also safely disable popup blockers while in sandbox mode, which some of the surveys require.

You're going to want to make a new email from yahoo or gmail to collect all of the spam that comes with doing offers since you need to sometimes click a confirmation email.

You're also going to want to clear your cookies after you have done a few surveys since many of them tend to be from the same company and will not let you do another one until you do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The easiest offers are the video surveys. These don't have a very high payout, but they usually credit instantly.
You can just let them play through while you're doing something else.

Some surveys will require to enter your information. If you're not comfortable giving out your address a lot of them will accept "general delivery" in the address field.
These surveys tend to be very hit or miss and sometimes have quotas on how many people can do them per day, so don't get discouraged.

Here is an example of a survey signup page



Going through the survey

During the survey you will be shown pages upon pages of different offers, you must say yes and fill in info to a few that you are interested in. However for the offers you are not interested in you can press skip or pass. This link is located at different areas and sometimes can be hidden and hard to find.




Final page



Eventually after going through the survey usually after 10-20 pages you will get to the final page. The final page will be called thank you or the final steps page. It helps to leave this page open and check out a few of the offers on this page. This should be enough to get you credit


Problems and issues

- Sometimes you will get to a page that has no skip or pass link, in those type of situations I usually hit back on the browser and get to a page where I can hit skip or pass again. You can also try just filling in information on the page you are stuck on and submitting it.


There are surveys where you need to install a game to facebook, so you can just make a throw away facebook account to do these on.
These usually credit very fast.

Auto/health/home insurance is also a big theme on most offer walls and can payout really big.
They require real information and some of them will ask you to enter your phone number. The catch to this is that you have to call at the end of the offer from the number you entered to confirm it.
The ones that make you confirm your number usually credit instantly.

Credit card offers can be decent as well, but you need to make sure that you read the terms and conditions to make sure you know what you're doing.
The Netflix trial for example pays 1500+ wpe depending on the offer wall and you can cancel it right after to not be charged.
You can also do this multiple times if you have a credit card and a paypal account.
These sometimes take up to 6 hours+ to credit.

Credit card applications will appear a lot too, but do this at your own risk.
Applying for lots of credit cards and getting denied can adversely affect your credit.
If you're legitimately looking for a credit card, these can net you 5000+ wpe.
They take a long time to credit if you're actually approved.

Downloads you will also see very frequently and you can safely try them out while using a sandbox.
If you don't use a sandbox, they come packed full of nasty malware that would love to dance around inside your hard drive.


If you feel like you did everything right and didn't get credit, you can screenshot the final page or forward your confirmation email to the various companies that run the offer walls.
They will usually work with you and grant you credit.
Gravity has nothing to do with these offers, so please don't blame them for something not going through.




There are other programs that you can use to help you do surveys fast, but I will need to ask Heimdallr if he approves of me posting them.
You can find out for yourself if you just look around on a search engine.

I'll post more when I think of it.

Not everyone is going to have the same offers, but it would be nice if people posted and shared what they have been successful with and which offer wall it came from.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

There are some types of surveys I could never get points. You learn very quickly which types will and wont give you easy points.

Video ones are SUPER easy. Very easy to get 25-50 points per day wasting almost no time. Right now a subscription cost only 15-20 points per day.

Which were you having trouble with? Some are very hard to get to go through, but some have just reached quotas for the day.
Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy like you said =)

It usually takes a few, but you could get enough for vip by just doing one if you got one of the bigger offers to credit.
If you're not seeing anything, it's probably because of an ad blocker.

With video surveys the limits is 7 a day, roughly 35 WPE, which takes 20 days to get VIP. Keep in mind you use WPE to get VIP not Kafra Points. I've done so many surveys and have gotten absolutely nothing from them for one reason or another.

The videos help more than anyone could probably understand.
Heim said that if more people would do them, they could make 2x what they do now overall.

Maybe if any of the stuff actually paid out more people would do them. But I've done easily over 10 surveys and have gotten 0 WPE.

Do you remember which ones you tried? I'll take a look later and try to figure out which ones might be a reliable payout for people.
I know not everyone is going to have the exact same offers.

Every few months I try, but like every survey you get 8 questions in then it says you don't qualify. And that blockbuster offer, I don't think that's a thing anymore.

The surveys like that can be annoying. You usually just have to try and guess what answers they want.
The majority of them are looking for minorities from my experience. Not gonna lie, I just answer those with what I think they want to hear.
Something as little as your age can dq you.

You can do some research on it, or look for another sandbox program.
That's just the one I have always used.

I rarely have videos available (probably since I'm up here in Canadia). ;(

I think I've only ever found maybe half a dozen on there in total, which sucks, since even at small amounts of WPE, at least they are pretty reliable compared to surveys and not nearly as time consuming.

If there are offers/surveys that when completed don't pay out then we need to know which ones so we can complain. We have great reason to complain when they don't pay out, as it tends to piss off our customers which directly effects us.

Some will spit out an error saying you don't qualify or something, but if it is "successful" then you should get your points.

Videos are easy, new videos are posted up every few days/week, so it can be a continual revenue stream for a player to legitly get free WPE.

I am going to be pushing the video stuff soon on the Facebook, and likely this will get some images added and then linked to.

That's BS because I did that stupid Kellogs survey, got all the way to the end, there was nothing left to click, and I didn't get 50 WPE for completing it. I guess they figure you get frustrated and can't do anything about it.

It is possible there was an error on the communication between the survey giver and our server or the provider. There is a link there for reporting problems, as well as you can contact our payment team about it.
