Does FC already have a birthday thing in effect to gain money on your birthday? That would be one suggestion. Another would be to screen their surveys better so more people can qualify. We are on here for a reason, after all. Whats the point if one aspects of gaining funds is barred to you?

Wow, you haven't even been a member for a week and you already know what should be changed on FC. That's amazing, really!
The great ideas you have come up with are not going to happen any time soon, if ever, per the admin here. FC's surveys are NOT screened by FC and there is NO way they can be. Perhaps you should contact the companies responsible for the surveys and tell them what parameters for qualifying YOU deem appropriate. There are multiple threads already on the birthday bonus and the survey problems, so you are 'beating a dead horse'. FC is a great site, but there are plenty of others out there and your suggestions might help them out.

When I see things like this I always wonder if you go to an established restaurant, an established business, and tell them how they ought to be doing things?

We do in fact tell restaurants how they should run their business---- via surveys. That's the way to improve by getting feedback from your patrons.

This has the potential to become very heated. I would suggest trying things out a little more to determine if what is offered fits within what you enjoy doing and are comfortable doing. If not I am sure that the door to leave is always open. I have to agree that there have been similar suggestions made in the past and perhaps a little more time spent perusing the forums would be beneficial. Good luck to you in whatever endeavors you choose to pursue.

FusionCash is not like a restaurant; our paying customers aren't you members but rather the advertisers and survey providers.  Members like yourself are independent contractors, and you get paid rather than paying us (like you do with most businesses).

We work hard to balance the needs of our members (without whom there wouldn't be a site) and our advertisers (without whom we couldn't keep the lights on).  This means a number of compromises: we have to limit the amount of bonuses we issue (we don't earn anything from it being your birthday... not to mention that with 2.3 million members we'd be issuing approximately 6000 birthday bonuses per day on average... not to FURTHER mention that if there was a birthday bonus, people might tell their referrals to choose a fake birthdate which is coming up soon so that they can get an additional bonus [and an incentive to falsify information is bad]).

As for survey qualification, it's a complex issue:
1) Surveys are often routed through two or more survey systems, and they rarely share information: so you may have to "qualify" for a survey multiple times.
2) Surveys are typically targeted at one demographic "slice", for example "males in the midwest".  Once the quota of "males in the midwest" is full, you wont qualify anymore.  You may see other people being credited for the same survey, because they're in a different 'slice'.
3) Since your qualification depends on your demographics (which you can't control) different members have different experiences with surveys.  For some, who are among rarer demographics, they almost always click through, qualify and get credited.  For others, among more common demographics, they have more difficulties qualifying. 

To belabor the restaurant metaphor, a survey provider might "order" 200 survey completions from "males in the midwest".  If we delivered them "females in new york" instead, they'd rightfully be dissatisfied; like getting fish 'n chips when you ordered a steak.  This is why taking surveys can be frustrating, inconsistent work.  If there was a way to improve it, we would, but you can't really tell a multi-billion dollar multinational research firm that their survey platform "needs to be fixed"...

They would have to verify everyones birthday, this would take time and money and would have to come out of something else.

that's a great question. have you found out if they do consider your birthday

[ro901]

I don't know how FC determines the featured posts on the Account page, but I have never seen the What Offer Approved For You in the list of posts on Account page. I think it would be very beneficial and helpful to all concerned if that thread appeared in this list. It would be especially helpful for new members.

[acurtsinger2]

great idea.....i love birthdays

[insevin]

I don't think this needs a new thread so I'll add it here.

Add Offer Status! Ability to review offer status, see if its pending or not, etc

EDIT: I discovered where FC hides this, its under the Support button

[jnjmolly]

I think they should give a little extra money to the person with the most post each month!! and they should have a chart with the people in the running!!

I think the surfing the internet thing would be great and simply they should try that and see how that goes also

[malgron]

nothing wrong with making suggestions. Also very thorough response with helpful info (admin).
