The way is was presented - If you cook, you make more than normal and have a couple of extra meals to offer, then you get credits. Some time when you don't feel like cooking, you can use your credits for someone else's home cooked meal. It was kind of vague, overall, and in my feedback, I asked how the participants would be vetted, and what quantities are required for the meal (certain amount of protein, starch, veggies). I suppose I should have clicked on the link that was offered to learn more, but I didn't.

It would be handy for the times I make ham and bean soup - there's no easy way to make a small quantity of that!

I used to get 5 pts, for 5 dq's....but then that changed one day last week. No warning or anything. I don't even know why I get 5 pts sometimes, and 14 pts another time. Seems random.

I still get 5 for each DQ, and no more after five attempts. Sometimes I continue to do the surveys if I'm trying to reach my Daily Goal points. If I complete a survey early, I still take a few for the 5 DQ points, of course

I'm still getting the 5 pts for DQs. Sometimes I don't get any points. As soon as I real my 5 dq limit, I don't get any more dq points. I do get 1 point dqs sometimes from Peanut Labs.

Wow! Are they trying to prevent us from meeting our 7 day challenge? 122 pt daily goal today. This is going to be iffy.

I've been sitting here most of the morning refreshing the page and there's NOTHING!

I know what you mean. I did buy a Jiffy Lube Giftcard since we use them for our cars and they are giving points with 20% off. I bought a $50 GC and got 1600 points. But that is the only way I would make my goal today. I understand if you you don't use Jiffy Lube or don't want to spend money. Try to keep searching for something. I mean do the search thing over and over and over and over.

I finally qualified for a Peanut Labs survey for 6 pts and finished it. That counted toward my survey goal. Then one of my walmart shops went through today which gave me my daily goal. Yay. Now I just need to find a couple more receipts to finish my challenge.

So tonight I noticed that Laptop Guy is now labeled '1 point' - but it has been crediting at 3 points for me. I was able to run it a few times - once with the bipolar disorder set of clicks (12 cycles about 9 seconds each), and one for Philips - a medical related one needed one click, but it runs around 60 seconds.
