We're sorry, we're looking for people with slightly different qualifications!

[PuZ]

For the last couple of days i have completed a fair amount of so called offers where you have complete the survey, that is chosen based on the information you have entered.

Now, let me tell you how that stuff works.

You click on this free, instant credit, usually cheap offer and get to the page where you submit your information,
then you're being redirected to another page where you have to fill out your information again, so they can choose a "right survey just for you". During that survey, and i claim that i saw it said "your survey have started", you have to re-enter all your information one more time and them spend about 20-30 minutes answering all sort of questions based on your interests and previously asked questions. A lot of hassle, a lot of taken time, a lot of "messing with your brain bullcrap", but finally you are done!  OK? OK! Now, here comes the TRICK.

"We're sorry, we're looking for people with slightly different qualifications for this survey."

Ehhh...with all the respect....What the f*ck is that?
Aren't you tired of this *bleep*, or it's just me?
How the hell am i not qualified of this survey if I have just spent half an hour of my life answering these damn question?

And get me right, I don't mind being not qualified, or being not credited, but I mind some scam sites f*cking with my head and wasting my time just to tell me that they are "looking for a slightly different demographics" or something like that.

Looking forward to hear from some people how know how to handle and manage this kind of stuff and from people having the same sort of problem.

I have had the same problem, not only on this site, but it seems to be a common thing with surveys. They tell you the survey will only take a certain amount of time, and then you spend most of your time filling in the same information several times for no use! I've decided that surveys are not for me, because I never end up qualifying for them anyways.

I had the same exact problem. Which is the reason why i stopped doing them, at some point I just simply gave up. It's pretty pointless since I never SEEM to qualify for them anyways. And it's not like they tell u you dont qualify after you fill out the first pg of your interests or w.e. they tell u after like 20 minutes later! So yeah, I dont bother with them anymore.

haha yes, I've had it happen to me.  Infact on another site I was filling out the survey and I probably spent a good 20 minutes on the survey and suddenly they tell me I did not qualify.  Strange, I know I was doing a survey, past the qualification part.  Sorry your having problems!!  I know its frustrating!

[lucky382001]

It seems to be a common thing for all the survey sites. They are looking for certain qualifications from the people they survey. I can't say I agree with this but I'm sure it has alot to do with who they are doing the surveys for. What they want.

This is especially sad because one of this surveys is a daily offer (MyThoughtCounts), which worse a buck and would be a really nice daily thing to do
Anyway, thanks everyone for answers.
Did someone actually receive credit for this "MyThoughtCounts" offer?

Guess Opinionsphere didn't fix anything. OTX is still OTX

[PuZ]

Hmm...i think i should keep trying....
Thanks.

[michaeldoff]

Yeah, I used to try the daily surveys every day but I got so frustrated with them that these days I don't even bother. I may try then every now and then when I've got some spare time, but it's generally not worth the hassle.

[TrillinT]

When I first started, the surveys here did not qualify me. I kept with it for the $1 a day+. I now recognize a pattern. I don't qualify more than three days in a row. Sometimes I don't qualify back to back days. Now, I only try every two or three days. Early morning works best as they won't fill up their entries as fast. Also, if you do other surveys, this can interfere. Start with the surveys here first as early in the morning as you can.

This won't make them work every time, but stick with them, try different things with time and frequency, and keep coming to the forum with questions. Most people want to help.

Good Luck!

i used to qualify a lot, i would just try different servey or come back until i qualify, but not anymore...it seems that it does get easier in the morning since neither of the serveys i do in the afternoon usually qualify me. And i don't do many servey's, maybe one or two a day

[PuZ]

I see...Well generally I found out, that it's better to complete one or two offers per day, instead of trying to do one after another. This way offer get credited at a better rate, don't take too much time and don't frustrate me.

[tranc3princ355]

same issue here as well. I even tried changing up what I had put in the first time after trying about 10 times and still no results... there goes over an hr of my life i cannot get back... but then again... maybe the qualifications are something that I cannot reach because of some other reason that i cannot figure out.

I've signed up with a bunch of different survey sites, a few through Fusion Cash, but most I've found on my own or through work at home sites.  Unfortunately, what you've experienced is fairly common.  Some survey sites make you go through almost the entire survey before disqualifying you.       Others put the qualifying screeners at the beginning, so that you don't waste a lot of time.  To be fair though, that's not Fusion Cash's fault.

I have signed up for over 20 survey sites in the last month or so.  Out of those, three or four reliably send me invitations to good surveys and have allowed me to quickly accrue points for cash or other incentives.  The rest have been so-so or worse, LOL! There are at least  a couple I'm going to drop because they are not worth the effort of opening up their e-mail invitations every day only to be dq'd or have points never credit.

Not to apple polish--well maybe a little    --but what I like about Fusion Cash is that the pay out seems to match the effort you put in.  If you choose to go the slow and steady route, you'll build up a nice little egg eventually.  If you choose to go all out, you can make a good chunk of money pretty fast.  Survey sites are not always like that, however  You can put in a lot of effort for very little return.
