Credit for trying surveys?

[Benny17]

I'm definitely on the same page with the rest of you.  I've given up on doing surveys because I don't want the frustration of
wasting time if I don't qualify.  There is one company I still do surveys for outside of FC because if I don't qualify....

They still award me 100 points for making the effort.

That's probably better than a slap on the face.   

 

Have a great day...Sincerely, Sherry

ya i here u sometimes i take mins n mins answering only to find out that i 'dont' QUALIFY

[ro901]

YES, it is frustrating never qualifying and very time consuming.

[champak97]

Yes, atleast an incentive for trying the survey would be great. Little consolation for spending considerable time, and mostly not qualifying for a survey.

[laine39]

I definitely hear you! We should get some type of credit after answering so many questions and spending the time on them....it would keep me more positive!

[laine39]

wow...just got credit for a survey.... .65 keep trying!

It sure can be frustrating when one of those pesky daily surveys fail to credit after you've invested 20 or 30 minutes of your time one on of them. Believe me, I feel your pain and I'm sure the staff at FC does too, but there's nothing they can do. For all those you are venting here, I would remind you that when you signed up, you agreed to abide by the Terms of Service which are always available to you to read any time you wish.

If you're not sure where to find the relevant section, click on Links/ Terms of Service, the scroll down to part III, the Offers section. Under Offer Completion, click on the click here link in the very first paragraph and you will be taken to the Offer Crediting Information Page. These are the rules and guidelines you agreed to follow when you signed up for FC and I doubt if they are going to change any time soon.

One of the key points here is that some offers may not credit due to nothing more than just plain bad luck and FC understands this but there is nothing they can do. The other important line is this one:

there is no way to guarantee that all offers will credit at all times.

I think that's pretty clear. FC offers no guarantees because no system is perfect and they don't get paid unless we get paid. I want FC to make money so they can continue to operate in the black, unlike Washington for example. One of the best posts I read on this subject compared trying to qualify for the surveys to trying to qualify for a job. You don't get paid for filling out a job application. You don't even get paid for qualifying for the job. You only get paid if you actually LAND the job.

If you find the daily surveys not worth your time and effort, then you always have the choice not do them, don't you? It's really a personal decision, just like the daily tasks. I personally stopped doing those because I found them to be way too difficult and time-consuming for the pittance they pay even if you do actually complete them successfully. These are personal decisions that only you can answer for yourself.

For me, the dailies allow me to cash out every month and so, for now at least, I will continue to attempt them every day. I welcome the challenge and I'm having fun seeing if I can get at least one of those surveys to credit for me every day. That's just me. I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm a glutton for punishment. Bring it on!

Definitely is frustrating when 99% of time I do not even qualify for the survey.  I'm thinking it is because of my age and the fact there is only one person in the household.  Anyway......I  keep trying!! 

[hicham1976]

credit for trying surveys i think is a good idea

[remediagirl]

Yes! Give us at least .01? Would be more fair and less frustrating I think.

YEP! HI EVERYONE IM NEW HERE. AND I LIKE 200% AGREE THAT WE SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR AT LEAST TRYING THE SURVEYS CAUSE I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR MILLIONS OF ONLINE SURVEY JOBS N STUFF AND THEY ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME..EVEN HERE. YOU SPEND YOUR QUALITY HONEST TIME ON THEM, THEN REDIRECT....SORRY BUT YOU DO NOT QAULIFY....I WONDER WHY WE DO NOT QUALIFY.

[fusioncashid]

I know exactly what you mean! I get right at the end after numerous questions and for nothing. I just try to shove it off and find another survey that its worth my time.

they should at least offer something out of compatsation on ur time

It's really not that difficult to qualify and get credited for these daily surveys. Today was a pretty good day for me. By attempting these at various times of the day today, I managed to get credited for three:

MyThoughtCounts - 10/15/2011    2011-10-14    $1.00    Approved
SurveyHead - 10/14/2011    2011-10-14    $0.65    Approved
SSI Daily Survey - 10/14/2011    2011-10-14    $0.55    Approved

My demographics are nothing special. If I can do it,so can you, and it didn't take me all that much time. You do understand that FC doesn't get paid unless we get paid, so where would the money come to pay you for just TRYING to qualify but not getting credited?

If they gave compensation for just attempting the daily surveys, then they'd have to pay everyone for attempting every single offer on the site whether they got credited or not!

i try the surveys a few times a week..and i try aq different one each day. and sometimes i make it through.

[Benny17]
