You misunderstand my idea I do not want the FC staff to have to manually approve the surveys. I only want to be able to tell the automated system to "look again"., and yes there have been times when I have not qualified for a survey, but that is different. These last few days I have been getting to the pages that say something like "thank you for completing our survey you have now been entered into sweepstakes, and I still do not get credit.
The system 'looks again' automatically every 10 minutes without you needing to click anything.
I know that some sites have a "I completed this offer" button and that clicking it is satisfying, but I can assure you that the tracking technology behind the shiny interface is exactly the same as what we use. That button just allows them to
not credit the people who sign up for an offer, but fail to click the button (which can be a sizable percentage). We automatically credit everybody as soon as we get notified that we've been paid for that particular offer/survey.
If you are seeing a huge swing in crediting/qualification from one month to another, the most likely explanations are:
1) You got yourself on some survey providers' blacklists for straight-lining answers, taking too long or not long enough to complete surveys, giving conflicting answers, or something else they didn't like, and now they are not paying us (nor you) for your survey completes, and/or
2) Something changed in your computer configuration between then and now which is interfering with crediting. This could be anything from anti-adware software, to a new browser or new browser version, to a change in your HOSTS file... it could even be something you don't realize happened, like a malware infection which is hijacking your affiliate links and redirecting you so that someone else gets paid. There are a lot of possibilities. It's helpful if you have another computer you can try to use, to see if that fixes the problem.
