I tend to fill out surveys if I love or hate the thing in question Debbie.

It depends on what the survey is about. I will take one for my local title company or state organization. Generally, though, I don't have time for this kind of thing. 

Debbie,

I am extremely selective with that.  I do one for our car dealer and car service.  Their jobs and reviews are dependent of these surveys.  Since we have had superb service and amazing instances with the firm, I do take the time and plow through their 20 page survey.  

With others, I don't.  It seems to me that many of the companies who ask are not aware of the time it takes to fill out.  JD Powers sent us one re our car 25 pages and they had enclosed a new $1.00

We were shopping at a very nice new retail center.  Someone approached us and offered us each an AMEX gift card (worth $25 each) to answer 3 questions promising to take 3 minutes of our time.  We did it.  We appreciated the gesture, and $25 for 3 minutes just over $8. a minute was worth it.  A

In some cases. I do the NAR market condition reports every month, as well as for the Kansas City Federal Reserve Beige Book. I also do surveys coming from MD Anderson for cancer survivors to help contribute to their research. After that it depends on the benefit but I am not enticed to do one because they promise a potential reward. 

I study marketing campaigns so I do take time to answer surveys or sign up for a free report (or whatever else they give as a freebie)  When I fill out a survey, I know full well they just want to get my email address.   Then I see how they follow up with their marketing.   I have several email addresses used to separate random surveys and subscriptions from my primary email box. 

Only if its very short, on topic and I get something in return, even if its just a PDF with a useful article.

It depends upon the source and the topic of the survey. 

I do exactly what Noah Seidenberg does. I won't fill out a survey to say "everything is just about the way it should be". There would be no point. I will fill out a survey to either cheer for something a company is doing extrememly well (so that they keep doing it) or to see some kind of a change because what they are doing now stinks.

If it is from our state association I will.

Depends where it is coming from. If it about my recent experience with a company~ I usually would.

Debbie - I think for me, it all depends on who sent the request.

It depends upon who sent the request, what the survey is about, and whether I want my opinion to count in the matter.

If it's from ActiveRain and thet are offering points, I'll do it.

I usually will start filling out almost everyone as it's like giving a tip for service.  I'll stop once the amount of answers gets to be ridiculous.

We do give feedback on showings and appreciate when other agents do it for us...otehr than that..not as often for other companies.

I used to, but not as much anymore.  I will for exceptional service or product.  Especially if I called them.  

Pass! It usually leads to more spam.

Only if the site or people are reputable and I am familiar with the subject.

Debbie Reynolds depending on where it is from, I usually fill in the survey or ignore it.

Debbie Reynolds If it is someone I've done business with, I will fill out the survey.

"THEY' are going to make money from the survey.

My time has value.

Share the wealth.

No surveys without compensation......or those numbers just might be suspicious.

Depending on topic/relevence may start - if it is short, I'll complete it, after about page 3 - I stop - no time for long surveys.

The only surveys I have taken are for active rain.

If it's not overly long, I will fill in a survey, especially if it has to do with a request to rate a service I recently received.

I just completed one for my township - asking about township services. I've likewise completed surveys about service I've received at health care facilities. I wouldn't bother completing surveys for anything less important.

It depends. Some of them provide pre-selected answers and none of thier answers are what I would say, so i don't do those.

I rarely complete surveys.

 Good Tuesday morning Debbie. Most the time I don't. Surveys take a lot of time and my time is too valuable.

I have to be pretty passionate about something to fill out  survey.

It depends.  If it's about great service I've received I will.

Debbie, the only time I will do a quick survey is if it pertains to customer service that I just received.  I want for who ever was helping me and exceeding expectations to get credit for it.  I try to use their name in the survey whenever possible.  mark

exceptional service, terrible service, someone I know well Any of those things and I'll fill it out.

Debbie, majority of the time I don't fill out the survey.

I generally do.

If i think it is legitimate, I care about the subject matter - and I have time. 

Debbie,

The National Association of Realtors send me surveys to fill out as a Broker. I do complete them because they are important to our industry. If they are not related to real estate, I delete.

I did one today from my old employer.  Half way through it turned into a pediatric care survey and I don't have kids.  I gave them many comments about asking if the participant has kids first!

For me, it all depends on how much time I have, who is asking and if I have something to say.
