I finished the survey to the end......they eliminated me last sreen.

I took a long survey for 10 cents about shoe inserts.

Got to the end, and it said I had successfully answered their survey...just needed a few personal details to finish.

When I put my age (73), it said "Sorry, this age group limit has been reached", or some dumb thing like that.

I am really ....what shall I say....disappointed, frustrated, as the survey was too long for a 10 cent reward, on top of it. 

It was one of the surveys that are listed in "Paid Surveys" before the Peanut Surveys.

Sigh

That is a bummer! It's disappointing when you have put in the time and effort and that happens.

[berthabutt]

Oh My!  They should have asked your age at the beginning and DQ you then.  They probably just wanted your info without paying you or FC?   I would put in a support ticket.

I feel your pain.  It happens to all of us.  I hope the subject material wasn't too boring.  (Looking for the silver lining.)  I do believe that it's inevitable that this will happen from time to time.  Expecting this to happen occasionally doesn't make it any easier to take, but at least you know that it happens to all of us and just comes with the survey taking territory.

[adriarobi]

Yes, it does help to know others go through it also.

Thank God for the 1/2 centers in video and slideshow. They got me the 5 cents for the PTC.

Been rough in the video department lately. Kinda tired of seeing LifeScript etc.

Perhaps after the holiday.

Something similar happened to me three times this week, the last time about one hour ago. However, I completed the survey and got a thank you page and was asked to submit. Then I got a message saying something about sorry, but you did not qualify.

Only one time was on FC. The other two were on two different sites. It is not just a FC problem.

I feel your frustration, it has happen to me also ; thankfully not often. But I guess they all have their limits and when it's reached they just knock you out. I understand the demographics thing, and do not mind when I am disqualified at the beginning, but it is not something that has happened to me on a regular bases, so I just take the good with the bad and keep on moving because their are many I do qualify for, so it's all good.

It is frustrating but it happens more often than you think, I really annoys me when it does specially on the longer surveys, a few years back I took like 20 minutes for one and on the last page told me that quota had been filled. ARR talk about mad.  But keep at it FC is worth it

[suebee466]

I just joined yesterday, and this happened to me on all the FC surveys I've taken so far. I think there should be an elimination up front if you don't qualify. Big waste of time the other way. We could be filling out more surveys!

[daeth2]

Most surveys do have a set of initial qualification questions.  The problem is that they are looking for a specific number of respondents from certain demographics.  Perhaps you were #999 of 1000 and while you were taking the survey, #1000 finished up.  You are now stuck with being DQ'd after doing all that work.  It sucks, it happens to many of us.

[pstovall]

I had another of those types of disappointments yesterday.  The worst part is thinking that you finally qualified for a survey, and you DID, only it's not going to work out after all.  Except for losing that chunk of time, it's no biggie, just all part of the process. A GREAT survey will be right around the corner, but you'll never know unless you keep trying to find it!

[seesawing]

It's going to happen eventually if you keep at it long enough, but try not to be too discouraged.  I just finished an easy going survey that I do hope will be of value to the advertiser (for 40 cents).  Expecting the completion message it socked me in the jaw to see "quota filled" but the following did help:

FC Survey Long DQ Bonus: Consumer Survey
Jun 23rd   $0.15   Approved
Bonus Credit FC Survey DQ Bonus: Consumer Survey    You got a penny for trying this FC Survey
Jun 23rd   $0.01   Approved

So, you get a decent 16 cents out of the 40 cents offered even though it's going toward your bonus money.  This was Qualtrics ... I'm seeing more and more Long DQ's lately.
