why survey why

[rbudovec1947]

I just had a situation where I answered several questions to be told I qualify for a survey than in the next screen to be told I've already taken the survey.
 

I am trying to stay on the positive side and believe the more information they get the more surveys I will get ( maybe).

I don't think survey approvals have anything to do with the information you have previously provided. On the contrary, you want to clear your cookies and past history before you start each session to give yourself the best chance of qualifying for new surveys. You want to be anonymous (for each session anyway) and exhaust all your chances to qualify for a survey...any survey...one's as good as another! Also, wait a bit, clear your browsing history again, and attempt the daily surveys all over again. I'll often try all six sponsors in the morning, have no luck, then go back in the afternoon or evening and score! The sponsors do vary the surveys randomly (I believe), even on the same day.

Demographics count, of course, but so do personal interests and past purchases, etc. You run into the same qualifying questions quite often too, so sometimes you'll know you're not going to qualify for that one. You've seen it before. Deja vu. Better luck with the next one. Just be patient and persistent and eventually...cha ching! At least that's been my experience.

I don't mind filling in all the questions, but it is a challenge sometimes when I go through many pages of questions and think I have about completed the survey and they come back with survey not available.  I just keep trying.

Just noticed that I did not answer your question.  I do the daily email, paid to click, watch videos and post in forum.  I occasionally take a free offer.    Oh and I forgot -- Saturday Contest.   All these will allow you to cash out approximately every three months.  

What is the Saturday Contest, how do you know about this?

You can find the weekly Tues/Wed and Sat/Sun contests under Contests & Promotions. Look for ONGOING PROMOTIONS. The current active contest can be found on page 1 of each topic. Just click on the link and submit your entry. You can expect to get paid the following week. These are great fun and give you extra pennies toward your next cash out.  

Thanks for the info I will have to try it out, great to know there are some extra ways to make money besides the three dailies and surveys. Thanks for your help.

How can a survey justify asking me a ton of specific questions then after it seems all questions are answered they say "Sorry we have already reached our quota for this survey" or somthing along those lines..

If they already had enough surveys done on that subject WHY WERE THEY ASKING ME THE ?'s IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?!?! why wait till AFTER i answer the questions to say by the way we never intended on accepting this survey no matter your answers. and im not talkin bout qualifying, this is after all those questions and way into a survey prolly at the end
soooo frustrating

I dont why they do that. I have done some surveys like that and I find it frustrating to me. I think they (survey company) should give you credit anyway for YOUR time you spent on the survey. Time is money.

I looked and dont see the Contests and Promotions link, where is this located? Does it only show up on Tue/Wed or Sat/Sun? Appreciate the help, still trying to figure things out and how to make the most money.

marz32, the contests and promotions board is found under the discussion boards list of boards.  Click on it in breadcrumbs and look down the list.  You will see it there.

I know what you mean there, you go thru a series of questions and then they say sorry you do not qualify for the survey and I get so aggraviated

is this same for all surveys including the daily surveys?

(have bad luck lately and alreay have tried clearing cookies/history) For the daily surveys, ok so u don't qualify for the first one but on the next page, it already mention something like "TRY A DIFFERENT SURVEY? Unfortunately, you did not qualify for this survey but we have others you may qualify for. Would you like to try qualifying into another study now?."  My question is would u get credited if u actually qualify for the 2nd one? Has this happend to anyone?

Also do u guys remain joined to that Survey site or do u guys unsubscribe right away? what do u guys do?

I avoid surveys.  I hate investing my time into these surveys and having them deny me after I've answered 20 questions.  Seems a little silly to me.

The answer is definitely yes. Exhaust all your chances to qualify. You can be credited for any of the surveys offered by the sponsor or one of its partners. It has happened to me more than once. I learned this from another member and discovered the truth of it very quickly.

If you are talking about the daily surveys, these can be completed once every 24 hrs and there is no need to join the site. In fact, it is best if your are not a member of the panel. Most of the time the surveys are general surveys from the sponsors and do not request that you become a member.

Hope that answers your questions. The only other point I would stress is not to get discouraged if you fail to qualify most of the time. Go back again at various times of the day and retry. That's how I'm able to finally qualify and get credited for so many of these. The key is persistence. There's no magic demographic. Personal habits and interests often determine if you qualify for many of the daily surveys. Just be truthfully and be realistic. These daily surveys generally take from 10 to 30 minutes to complete and some days you can spend an hour attempting them and have no luck. On other days, you'll qualify for two or more. Decide for yourself how much time you're willing to devote to them.
