    This really irked me. I took a tiny bit longer than usual but not that long. I didn't realize they were only giving five minutes to complete or I would have rushed through it. So basically they got my data and I didn't get paid. It was my fault for not checking the timer but sill..five minutes is a little silly for a survey they say will take "about five min"

    In the beginning, never more than you can afford, if it's a new/unknown requester and not generally trusted yet. Always read TV reviews first. You'd want to do enough to still stay just above 99% in case of a mass reject. You can download extensions and scripts to check how much. The more you build your buffer the more you can go bananas right away.

    You're off to a good start already thinking ahead in the beginning. It may hurt to miss out on a lot of things, but it for sure pays off the older your account gets.

    If it is a new requester I try to weigh the pros and cons. If the HITs are high paying and a great hourly rate I'll risk doing a bunch. If the HITs pay a few cents each I'm not doing more than a few to see if they approve. I also have a cushion of a few hundred before I would go below 99% and some people have a cushion of thousands. If you are new don't risk going below 99% approval rating.

    Certain known requesters like Ben P and mldata are safe. Always check TV reviews before doing too many of a new requester to you.

    Yeah in terms of the requester that's where I'm debating. I've already have a few scripts going that are typically the groundwork for beginners. Majority of my HITs have been intended on being a buffer since I knew getting to 1000 approved with 98% or higher approval rating could possibly be tough.

    Hang in there and just try your best to do safe requesters. In the beginning you sometimes have to do underpaid HITs or batches to get your numbers up. More will open up when you complete 1,000 then 5,000 then 10,000. I know @Lumius has posted a helpful list a few times of HITs that people can do early on that are safe and will help to get your numbers up.
