When you decide to join and sign up as a new member of a survey panel, it’s always nice to receive an extra-special welcome. Some survey panels will automatically credit their new members’ accounts with points or cash immediately after they sign up, or after completing some introductory profiler surveys.
This is an easy way to boost your earnings right off the bat and gets you to your first cash out quicker.

How to claim your bonus
Receiving a sign up bonus is very easy; simply click the 
links below and follow the instructions to join the survey sites of interest to you. You will either be credited the sign up bonus immediately after registering, or you may have to complete some short profiler surveys. The registration bonus will typically be stated on the sign up page itself, so you don’t have to worry about having to contact the survey site to claim it or remembering how much it’s for.
Joining a survey site that offers a sign up credit provides a great incentive to try a site out; you’ll immediately have some progress toward your first rewards redemption, which means that fewer surveys need to be completed to claim your first reward!

Hi, I have been answering surveys for over 6 months now. I have noticed that many surveys EXPIRE, a minute after I opened them. Why does this happen? Does it has to do something with my location?
HI Ashwin,
Using a proxy is the most common reason why you may be consistently booted of surveys. If you’re not using a proxy or VPN, this article should shed some more light on the issue: https://www.surveypolice.com/blog/why-you-cant-complete-online-surveys/
