you should get paid for time attempting to prequalify

[natashaspy]

you can post as much and as often as you want, but they only count 30 a month..you dont get extra for doing more.  just have to make sure that the posts are actually contributing, not just throwing out one or two words that make no sense

maybe they should say , it cant take them 20 minutes to decide they dont want you.

you should at least get something for trying to prequalify.  sometimes it is very time consuming and it ends up being all for nothing in the end.  i understand that FC doesn't get paid unless i get paid, but it's still a shame that we spend all this time trying to qualify for a survey and get nothing.  or we spend time filling out a survey, but never get credited anything for it.  1 cent would be better than nothing!!

:notworthy:I agree I have quite even clicking on them.

I have membership with survey sites that do pay a tiny amount and that tiny amount adds up and I feel like my time is valuable. That would be great if the FC surveys did that, too.

It totally bums me out when I try to qualify for a survey about, say, cell phones and it says I qualify, only to take me to a survey asking me about what brand of cereal I eat and then I get disqualified.

Would love to get paid for prequalifying, but totally understand why that can't work.  However, I think the real problem is in the repetiveness and time consumption that is involved with prequalifying.  Wish it were simpler and less of a time hog.

Yes definitely the repetitiveness and how it does not retain any of your information. The first question can be your age followed by gender then how many people are in your household - their gender and age, 6 questions down the line they ask your gender again and if you have kids which you already answered. Definitely a hassle!

yes, we shd

Don't really care where the funds come from, the sponsor or the the site.  No, we are not applying for a job.  We all know that.  A precedent has been set by other sites where members are compensated by attempting surveys.  Whatever method they use seems to work for them.  These surveys can be a pain in the *bleep*.  Most do not qualify after significant investment in time and information.  By awarding a small compensation, there is reciprocity.  I think what most including myself are saying is that a similar compensation would be greatly appreciated.

The prequalification is a survey all in its own and regardless if you qualify they sponser gets all your information for there demographics regardless. They are making money off the prequals alone and FC has your demos on file already if you finished your profile. There is no reason for these Prequals obtaining all our info then sayig we dont qualify. The onfo is in this system before we attempt to qualify. Im tired of signing up for survey soitesm getting extra emails cause they shared my info for nothing . Its a win win for the sponsers!

I just joined the site yesterday, and I am already seeing a huge benefit to this idea! Even just 2-5 cents for our time would be well worth it, if not just to let us know that fusioncash cares about our time spent trying to help the companies that give them business! Please consider!

Paying out a small amount for partially qualifying would have to include partial payment to FC to cover the payment to participants. This would be an incentive to FC to work out those kinds of arrangements with sponsors and advertisers. The advertisers ARE still winning if they put in place a way to capture the information from the pre-qualifying information which may still hold some marketing and demographic information that may be useful, perhaps they would discover that they are marketing to the wrong demographics and should consider changing their target markets rather than trying to fit a target market to what they THINK should qualify. It is as if the sponsors are proceeding with blinders on and limited tunnel vision, unfortunately, FC may not be able to change the current arrangements, but there is plenty of food for thought in the suggestions and ideas presented here for future negotiations with new sponsors. Maybe it is time to try something new and see how it works out. Who knows? We know that there would be a definite nothing gained from not even trying, perhaps it would backfire if tried, but then that can be evaluated, reworked, or discarded should that be the better path to take. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, something ventured, need to await results, Everything ventured, perhaps too risky. A test case with one or two sponsors while maintaining offers already in place would seem to not be such a hard thing to do or to create overly expensive additional costs.

i think weshould get paid a penny or two just for trying a survey...heck...sometimes we go ten or fifteen minutes into a survey only to find out that we dont qaulify.

[clickers]

The only way to have them pay us attention is if we all just don't do the surveys...then they will have to ask FC why...perhaps then we can get what we want to benefit us as well.

[Jbenert]

I LOVE this idea. I understand that FC will probably not go for this, but I agree completely with this. I spend an hour a day trying to earn a few bucks here and there, but almost never qualify. I'm still showing that I'm interested though! I haven't given up and I still give them a lot of my time, It would be nice to get a little acknowledgement for it, a nice little "thank you" here and there.

I assume this subject is about prequalify for surveys credit. I try to take surveys every time I log in. Rare to get any credit. Sometimes I think I am spending utility money to even turn my computer on. And getting nothing in return. It would be nice if FC could negotiate some kind of credit with the survey providers for "prequalification".
