DO set up a dedicated email account specifically for your surveys stuff<\/h2>\n<p>Keep survey emails separate from your personal emails by setting up a dedicated email account for all your survey-related business. That way you&#8217;re less likely to miss surveys invitations due to getting mixed up with your other emails. Check your spam box regularly in t his email account and whitelist emails coming from survey panels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-3.jpg\" alt=\"email check\" width=\"600\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-3-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. DON&#8217;T forget to check your email daily for new studies<\/h2>\n<p>If you want your survey taking to be as successful as possible, ensure that you check your email for new surveys as frequently as possible! That way you&#8217;ll be the first in line to take surveys that offer the most generous rewards. As well, you might want to log into your account daily to see if new opportunities are posted there too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-5.jpg\" alt=\"keep records!\" width=\"600\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-5-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. DO keep your own record of the surveys you take<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s always wise to keep your own record of the surveys you&#8217;ve completed in case you&#8217;re ever missing compensation for something. By recording the date of the survey, the title of the study, and the compensation offered, if there&#8217;s ever a dispute, you&#8217;ll be armed and ready. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/tracker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free survey tracker<\/a> tool is super-useful and is especially designed for this.

DON&#8217;T bank large sums of cash or rewards in your survey accounts<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait until you have hundreds of dollars in your account before requesting your survey earnings. In this day and age, you never know if a company is facing potential financial challenges that may prevent you from receiving your rewards. Request your earnings regularly to avoid any nasty surprises later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1039\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-7.jpg\" alt=\"complain\" width=\"600\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.surveypolice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/dosdonts-7-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>7.

Businesses are often more responsive when approached via their public communication channels, so you may have better results.
