you should get paid for time attempting to prequalify

[lindacmt]

It would be GREAT to get some compensation for those pre-qualifications. The good news is, after a while it becomes easier to understand what some surveys are looking for right at the beginning, and you will just be able to opt out of them before you spend too much time on them. For example, if you know that you are never going to qualify for a clinical study--gastric bypass patients, for example, cannot participate in clinical studies--then as soon as you ascertain the survey is for clinical study pre-qualification, don't waste time on it.  If you are a nondrinker, an adult beverage study is not for you, so as soon as you figure out that's where it's going, just close it up.

One really COOL feature of FusionCash is that each participant, on their own account page, has an option to click on a link that will show you every single offer you have clicked on and whether you were approved or not. That's a great way to see if there is a pattern with some of the surveys. Good luck!

Yeah this would seem like a good idea but this is the way I see it... you are getting paid for your opinion. They need people who fit in a certain criteria. If the amount of people they need for this certain group are already met or you just don't fit in this certain category of people, then what can you do about it? You have not contributed or given your opinion in any way, you just failed to meet the criteria for that particular survey, so why should they pay you anything? If it's all too time consuming, then don't take them. When I first started I didn't have much problem doing them, and now my luck isn't so great with them, so I just don't do them anymore or just from time to time.

This would be counter productive, as people will rush through the qualification procedures just to get the payment without caring about actually doing the survey.  However, if fusion approves this or placed this in - definitely wouldnt complain ; )

Agreed maybe a way for FC to track how fast your doing a survey? Everyone is saying $1, .20 .1 or no cents, personally i'll be fine with a half of cent xd

[thenewprod]

lol. OPs has the right mind. I agree with you, this needs to be changed !

[healthfreedom]

I agree. I've spent quite a bit of time attemting surveys, just to get a message saying "Sorry, you don't qualify." And this is after they collected quite a bit of info which I know they use for survey purposes. I have basically quit doing them.

I 4 1 am glad a bunch of us "NEWBIES" can totally agree on a posted thread such as this. Prequalification payment and getting payed a few cents for disqualified surveys is only reasonable and sound suggestion. We have to put up with being rejected as members in a majority of surveys everyday.

Just where would the money come from to pay you for not qualifying?  FC isn't a non-profit organization.  I almost never qualify but I don't expect to be paid for it.  I mostly don't try to do surveys anymore.

bowrunner,
at this particular stage in this thread its simply a posted reply, not a new rule being implemented LOL  . Relax?

[griffin2448]

I would like to get paid for trying to prequalify. It is our time and our time is valuable. Isn't it?

As they would loudly remark in the Revoluntionary/Colonial days of the 1700's, "Here here!"  Agreed. Our time is just as valuable as the veteran FC members whom are raking in the cash easier than we n00bies are? What say ye?

[jazzyjc]

I think they shouldnt pay the full amount for trying to prequalify, but i do think that they should at least give a token for trying

[rghvac69]

I've just about given up on the surveys. I was doing the beer survey a couple of days ago and I spent over thirty minutes on it and when I got to the classification questions at the end it suddenly said that I didn't qualify. I didn't get paid, FC didn't get paid, but the survey company got all the info it needed for free. This has been happening a lot to me lately and it's very discouraging.

[randyperr]

agreed!

[newgrandpa]

A good thing seems to be happening. I try the Daily survey offers regularly. Seems the prequalification time spent is getting shorter. Also I have qualified and been credited for about 1 a week. All this is new to me and  FC!
