Not qualifying

[katie322]

Why do I never qualify for surveys?

If you don't meet certain demographics (i.e. age, where you live, etc.) of a survey, then you won't qualify. It happens to me where I don't qualify for certain surveys. Persistence is the key for me. Just keep at it.

I almost never qualify for Fusion Cash surveys. I work in market research and that usually disqualifies me. Some members are real lucky with surveys and others, like me, not so lucky. But, as the previous member said, keep trying, especially for those surveys offered by Fusion Cash. Eventually, you will probably qualify for some.

I rarely qualify for surveys. Infact the only ones I attempt are the FC ones. Most of the time you will get a penny if your don't qualify. Fortuanately, there are lots of others ways to earn on FC. I love the toolbar with the internet searches. With the holidays the online shopping is great too.
With the surveys keep trying. Referrals really help  Otherwise find what you like and do it consistently It will really work!
Have a great Day!

Thanks everyone! I will continue to do the surveys!  I joined yesterday and already have $10.87!

  i go through all the surveys twice a day,once in the morning then again in the afternoon or evening and i usually will qualify for at least one survey. there are very few days where i do not get one. there are many days where i qualify for 2 or more. so my advice is persistrnce pays off. good luck and have a great day!!!!

I seem to qualify for surveys  in spurts. I will qualify for 1 or 2  a day and then nothing. I usually will try the fc surveys but will try the others on occasion.
As another poster has commented, there are so many ways to earn besides surveys. Sure, surveys tend to pay more but they also take an average of @20-25 minutes to compete. How many offers,tasks and videos can you do in that time frame?

Hi, either way it's frustrating sitting there doing all those pre-qualifying questions when some of the qualifing data seems like the actual surveys itself

FusionCash is not like a restaurant; our paying customers aren't you members but rather the advertisers and survey providers.  Members like yourself are independent contractors, and you get paid rather than paying us (like you do with most businesses).

We work hard to balance the needs of our members (without whom there wouldn't be a site) and our advertisers (without whom we couldn't keep the lights on).  This means a number of compromises: we have to limit the amount of bonuses we issue (we don't earn anything from it being your birthday... not to mention that with 2.3 million members we'd be issuing approximately 6000 birthday bonuses per day on average... not to FURTHER mention that if there was a birthday bonus, people might tell their referrals to choose a fake birthdate which is coming up soon so that they can get an additional bonus [and an incentive to falsify information is bad]).

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"...
