Ok so I got the email saying that they were paying double this week 21st through 28th, but the bad news is that every single agent seems to be logged in, so the questions are few and far between....you have to answer more than 150 questions to get the double pay...I miiight make it but its going to be slow going.

I just logged in and it is so slow. Normally when I log in at this time it is pretty steady but then there are usually over 350 agents on at this time. Makes it hard to earn any money when you can't get questions.

I'll admit that I was little excited to read about our temporary "raise". But then again I guess everyone else was too! I've never seen this many people logged on at all times all day! lol. It really was a good idea. But it would be really nice if kgb_ made this double pay a permanent change!

I think the chances of the double pay being permanent are pretty low...remember the customer is paying 99 cents so unless they raise the price to the customer the price paid to the agents probably isn't going ot go up...we'll probably be lucky if it stays the same and doesn't go down.

They are also going to do premium rates for Super Bowl day.

Anyway, working when its super slow is alot less 'fun'. Not that working when its busy is the most exciting thing in the world, but I do like to at least have some kind of choice of what question I would like to answer and have maybe 4 or 5 things to choose from.

When its slow you have to jump at whatever terribly worded half question that comes up. And I also get alot more texts that end up being 'no charge' anyway such as re-sending a question or they text some inchorent sentence and have no history, so no idea what they want, things like that.

I think 2 or 3 times today I got the vaguest of vague video game questions...'how do you get to level 3 in pokeman when you only have such and such items' or something like that lol...I tried my best.

Oh and another thing...since it wouldn't let me on at all I did one of the tutorials, I did a baseball one, even though I know tons of baseball, anyway was I shocked to see the one site that they say don't use, WIKIPEDIA, referenced in the 'how to' tutorial for just about every questions? What the? lol...I think some of the inconsistencies with KGB are pretty strange, but I'll just keep plugging along as long as they are willing to pay me :)

It is very busy right now. Try later at night.

I see that for a Sunday I can barely get any questions. So the dates are til lthe 28'th for dobuble pay then, and then it starts up again right? So there are two weeks of dobule pay, well a chance at it. I though I read Christmas week and new years week. But I never caught the actual dates

As far as I know the double pay promotion ends at 3am on Monday morning, they could change it or extend it but they haven't said they would yet.

Its funny that you say that Sunday is a less busy day for you, Sunday afternoons are one of the busy times that I see, mostly because of the NFL questions, it might die down quite a bit after football season.

EDIT: The double pay has been extended into next week:

From Monday, December 28th at 3AM ET and running through Monday, January 4th at 12AM ET, we are offering a special Holiday pay rate differential for everyone that qualifies of:

• $.20 for researched answers

• $.10 for database answers

In order to take advantage of this special Holiday pay rate differential, you must do the following:

• Answer a minimum of 150 texts during the differential timeframe noted above (this will run as a separate program from last week’s differential and you must qualify again)

• Send ACE quality answers

Yeah, I knew I had read it awhile back it was for those 2 weeks. Maybe my unit guy sent it. Whats wit hthe 3AM stuff tho? Aren't they on est? And how does it work when we change pay months mid contest?
