Surveys

[paddison]

I did a regular $.65-FC daily survey this morning about movies and TV shows.  It took 45 minutes to complete and I still haven't gotten credit.  This has happened before on other surveys, but I think it may be because I already belong to those panels.  Why is it happening with the FC Daily Survey?  It is frustrating, beacause I really love FC !!!!

This has happened to me many times before as well and I agree it is very frustrating.  Others have posted on this here and the replies advise to clear out all your cookies before taking the surveys as well leaving your confirmation page open for several minutes afterward until you receive your reward.

Thanks for the advice.  I'm a newbie, and can use all the help I can get.  I'll try clearing out my cookies.  I usually do wait a minute to close the survey after I'm done.   Thanks, again, for the advice !!!!

it happens sometimes.. i get fustrated too. most of the times they are credited in a timely manner and if they are not for some reason there is no way to get credit. i have read several posts regarding getting credit and most people say to make sure you leave the screen on for a few min after the survey is complete. also make sure there are no buttons at the end that say click here to receive credit (or equivalant). dont get discouraged 90% of the time they credit just fine

What does it take to qualify for a Survey, it is soooo frustrating to try and complete a survey and you do not qualify, you do not qualify...It works my nerves

What does it take to qualify for a Survey, it is soooo frustrating to try and complete a survey and you do not qualify, you do not qualify...It works my nerves  

As for survey qualification, it's a complex issue:
1) Surveys are often routed through two or more survey systems, and they rarely share information: so you may have to "qualify" for a survey multiple times.
2) Surveys are typically targeted at one demographic "slice", for example "males in the midwest".  Once the quota of "males in the midwest" is full, you wont qualify anymore.  You may see other people being credited for the same survey, because they're in a different 'slice'.
3) Since your qualification depends on your demographics (which you can't control) different members have different experiences with surveys.  For some, who are among rarer demographics, they almost always click through, qualify and get credited.  For others, among more common demographics, they have more difficulties qualifying.  

To belabor the restaurant metaphor, a survey provider might "order" 200 survey completions from "males in the midwest".  If we delivered them "females in new york" instead, they'd rightfully be dissatisfied; like getting fish 'n chips when you ordered a steak.  This is why taking surveys can be frustrating, inconsistent work.  If there was a way to improve it, we would, but you can't really tell a multi-billion dollar multinational research firm that their survey platform "needs to be fixed"...

I have had that happen before to. When it happened to me it took like 24 hours before I got credit for it.
