Rip Off
« on: May 14, 2015, 12:04:33 pm »
Just need to blow off some steam.  I just completed TWO surveys and then at the end it says oh sorry you don't match the desired profile.  And I don't get paid.  Guess I made too much money last month!  Someone else said on another thread they were doing things and not getting credit today and they were done with this site for a while.  I think I am done with the surveys for a while.  Why bother doing them if they get my opinions and then don't pay me as promised!   :confused1:

It is easy to say you just let it go, but when you spend time completing surveys and expect to be credited, it is a little more than annoying.

I agree. I hate when you have (for example) a 15 minute survey and your 12 minutes into it and you get disqualified. What is up with that?   :bad: >:( It drives crazy.

it is a pain in the A$$ !!!!!!  other day I spent 20 minutes doing a survey and then was told i didn't fit.  So rude.  You would have thought they would have realized that in the first few minutes :(

I just don't do the surveys because they rarely work out for me but any time I have trouble with something crediting like radio or videos I just move on because I have been doing various paid "to" sites for about fifteen years now and I still believe FC is one of the absolute best so ............... I just keep moving on looking forward to that next cash out.   :present:

I know how you feel that's why I don't do many surveys.

I know. I know. I spent 20 minutes on a 25-minute survey the other day for $4.25.  Then I got disqualified.  I was so ticked off, but there really is nothing you can do...which makes it even more frustrating.  My sympathies.

I actually find it more annoying to have credit for a survey you did a month ago get revoked. I do think it's crappy when you essentially give all the responses and then don't qualify. Ask the qualifying questions first!

It's happened to me before...I stopped doing very many surveys a long time ago because of the waste of time.  Alot of surveys are so repetitive & boring, and many aren't REALLY surveys at all.  It would be better if they took half that money and got ANY of the other advertising on the ptc sites.  Everyone would LOVE to have more paid videos, ptc ads, tasks and legit offers INSTEAD of those surveys that aggravate most everyone.

I usually don't qualify for surveys so I only do the ones that give me consolation credit for trying.  Larely I noticed they're getting around that by telling me i don't qualify but they have another survey for me.  ???  I don't want another survey of unknown time and credit, I want my penny.  Then I can choose another, if I want to.  These don't usually get very far before they say I'm disqualified though.

If you're not getting credit for complete surveys try reporting them.

lol.  Yeah, I have noticed that a lot of times the second survey never credits.  The two I done I completed everything and was down to the last submit and it was like oh sorry you don't qualify.  I was SO mad.  **Insert steaming smiley here**  :)

And I have reported them before but was told they have criteria they want and if you don't meet that and they disqualify you (and it is their choice) FC doesn't get paid and they can't pay us.
