Today is the first time in my entire life, and I have filled out these surveys before, that I received one with a $5 bill that they claim is real. My immediate thought was it's a scam. I will probably take it to a bank to be validated. Has anyone experienced this? It's not even a nice new one for collecting LOL. I will post pictures, let me know what you think? Thanks much... as always.~ Bonnie

They sent me one of those a few years back. It is real. After I completed the first one, they sent another later on for 10 bucks. Easy way to make a little cash.

Hey, I got a survey recently.
It only contained 2 one dollar bills.

Yes its real... the envelope likely contains two crisp dollar bills, with the promise of $5 more if you fill out a survey about your TV and radio habits.

5...5 dollar.... 5 dollar footlong from subway (oh wait that promo is no longer available, thanks, inflation)

5...5 dollar... 5 dollar cookie (single) from Crumbl...welcome to 2023!

I used to get those in the 90s. It was real money. I have not gotten a cash one in a long time though. Now I get emails that promise gift cards and the like. Those that escape the spam filter get deleted. A much bigger opportunity to get scammed.

The last time I got something like that it had change in it. It seems inflation has hit the marketing business too.

With inflation, I would be asking for fins and sawbucks instead of singles. My time is money.

I think what really happened is the value of our opinions went down. Way down. It is much cheaper to scrape data from social media than it is to pay us for surveys from their shrinking budget.
