Has anyone done a survey for a half hour then gotten the sorry you dont qualify

[frazier1964]

yes i just got through with a survey to get an ipad for my seven year old two weeks ago. After doing what they ask with two offers I never got a continue to next step after completing the offers one of them was netflix which I could have gotten cash from cash fusion for joining the trial. I am sorry this happened to you also. Some sites give the legitimate sites a bad name.

Charmaine, I feel your pain. Not only do you not receive credit for spending so much time on alot of the surveys...in addition, you have to deal with the neverending e-mails and calls if you give your real phone #. I pretty much stay away from most of the surveys for that reason.

Happens to me all the time.  I think I'm taking a survey when really I'm just qualifying. 

That happens to me every time I attempt a survey. I thought I was in the actul survey because they take you through pages, but it's just the pre-requisite.

I am so sick of those surveys ill be on the computer for a hour just doing the survey before the survey just so they can tell me that i dont qualify for the real survey.  With that time I could have done other offers 

I feel the same way. I focus on other things first like PTC, reading e-mails and watching videos before I attempt any surveys. If I don't want to finish a survey or I don't qualify, I feel better knowing I made something from the other things for that day.

 Yes It has happened to me ...but Iam sure that it has happened to alot of people...

[kingozzy]

I am pretty sure it happens to everyone at some point.  It gets very frustrating doesnt it?

Happens all the time,more times than I actually am able to complete a survey, yes very disappointing and disturbing that the only reply is that FC doesn't get [-aid if we don't get paid.If this is such a regular occurance, FC should drop the sponsor and save us all the time and aggravation. If they have less than a 80% payout rate- GOODBYE. What's the point? Obviously the sponsor is not ethical and we all experience the same thing over abundance of spam right after, even if you clear your cache etc.

While it is possible that you came across an unscrupulous survey, it's also quite possible that the survey was detecting inconsistent answers or that you were rushing through.  In my over two years here, I've never had a survey disqualify me after 30 minutes and after they said I had qualified/been accepted.  But, that's not to say it can't happen!

Many of the surveys have ways of detecting if your answers are being consistent - ie. they ask the same question, but re-worded a different way later on, to see if your answer is the same.  They also use other tricks by mixing in amongst the questions things like "Leave this answer blank" or "Select Highly Disagree for This Answer" to check if you are actually reading everything.  If you're also zipping through pages quickly, even if you're reading everything thoroughly, it can raise red flags.  It's imperative to take your time.

I'm sorry you ultimately wasted 30 minutes of your time, especially if you were taking your time, reading, and doing everything "right".  Don't let it discourage you, though, from doing more surveys here.  The truth is, the good surveys far outweigh the bad apples amongst them.  Good luck!

I have actually had it happen before. The alcohol ones are stupid in my opinion they almost seem like they DON'T want honest answers.

Happened more times than I care to say. Then when you complain to the survey co. u get nowhere. I keep doing surveys because I need the money...

[purtoy]

Yes that has happened several times:( All part of the territory when it comes to surveys, never really know what's gonna happen. Worth it when u complete some though

[BrookeKRod]

ugh, yes! i just started today and it's happened to me twice. i'm just happy that i'm on my way to $25 for my first cashout!

[laine39]

I get this too, and honestly getting sick of the wasted time spent. Toluna is one of the worst....you do the whole survey and then at the end you are disqualified. If I see a survey is taking me to their site I immediately click out of it. Tired of wasting my time  And yes, when you are asked for a phone number the annoying calls don't stop. Frustration and not earning a penny for it. 

[acarswell]

i downloaded one of those video games too but havent gotten credited.  I also have done surveys for 30 minutes only to find out I did not qualify.  Its so fustrating sometimes. 

[hicham1976]

it happened to me many time so after 10 to 25 minutes then we are sorry you didnt qualify !!  hhhhhhhhhhhh

[lennydee]

Yes to many times this has happened to me. if you don't qualify you shold receive something for your time is only fare, But it does not go this way.
