Click and win problem.

For the last few days, every click and win site has made me do a survey, even though you get x survey free days for completing it, the next day I have to do another. It's doubling the time spent and is really doing my nut in.

Anyone else having the same problem?

    Once you have done the one does it give you the option on the second one to just answer the first question and then click to enter.. the green enter box pops up a little bit further down the page .

    In some instances it's asking me a single question for every competition entry, with no other option. I'm used to these surveys popping up occasionally - it's normal - but all of a sudden it's on every site.
    After getting the "No more surveys for 7 days" message on completion of the survey that's exactly what usually happens. Now I find that I've had to go through the same rigmarole two days running, as if it hasn't registered that I've already completed a survey and should now be getting 7 days survey-free.

    It's at least doubled the time needed (maybe tripled it) so now I no longer have the time to do them. :mad:

    They do seem very variable, some days I give up as the captchas become increasingly unreadable and yet other days they are really clear ?

    Never found the captchas to be an issue. I just press the reload button to get a fresh one if it's unreadable.
    This is a whole new problem and one I've never experienced before. I'm really struggling to work out the whys and wherefores - it has me baffled and seriously frustrated.

    Well, blow me down...between my last post and this one it seems to have reset itself and is back to normal. Now I feel like a proper tit :laugh:

    I get this every day - maybe it's because I always start a comping day by clearing cookies/history?

    I don't think so, GO; clearing your cookies means you need to sign in again with your email address, but it shouldn't trigger a round of surveys. Hopefully - like mine has - it'll come back to normal after a couple of days. Out of interest, though, how long has this been going on and what exactly do you see?
