I just spent almost 40 minutes doing a stupid survey that had video and a bunch of crap like that in it. I answered all the questions carefully. Read them all. Everything. Got down to the last 2 or 3 and then on like the last question it pops up and says "oh sorry you are not qualified to take this survey". REALLY?!? You should be getting 1 cent for your time.
You have got to be kidding me! That is SO unfair. If you spend as little as 20 min on a survey and then get kicked out you should still be paid. Seems like this happens a lot lately. This way they get your thoughts and don't have to pay for them. >:( >:( >:(
-
well your not alone its been happening to me a lot to lately. im thankful for the surveys when they pay but when they dont it just suxks
-
it happened to me just last week. and I didn't even get a penny so you got lucky
-
I know this has happened to all of us at one time or another; we attempt a survey, we take our time,
we give our honest opinions, sometimes we qualify, and sometimes we do not, but we keep trying these surveys nonetheless! I do not think it is fair, however, to do a complete survey for forty minutes and then get to the very end to then be disqualified!!! >:( I spent forty minutes of my precious time for $0.01. What am I, crazy?! I must be, because I will try again tomorrow!
FC Survey: Survey for Females 2015-02-08 Not Credited 40 min later!! >:( ::)
I posted this only 2 days ago, so I feel your pain, and anger. There should be a law against this in my opinion!!!!

I've already given up on ninety percent of them I only try the 10 minute ones

lol. Yes, you are correct because I tried 2 this morning. I found it interesting that there was a pop up about "Honesty and Integrity" and I thought "REALLY"? Don't talk to me about integrity when you cheat people out of money.
-
Yes those surveys seem to do that more to me than they actually do work for me, it is very frustrating indeed. I feel your pain!
-
same here
-
I find it extremely irritating to spend a lot of time on a survey only to be told I didn't qualify. I think they are using the answers and not having to pay for them.
-
Ha Ha Yes me also,,,,i spent 2 hours this morning trying to do surveys and walked away with 2 surveys and 14 cents in penneys :( what a waist jof time. but I guess I will take what I get !!! But I can think of other things to do. I can't seem to even get any videos' to work in the past week :(
-
>:( I agree with all of you. I've had it happen, 30 = 40 minutes, and then POW your disqualify.
-
Yeah we all have that happen to us more times then we want. But it is not fusions cash's problem. They just give us the survey's What works for one may not work for another. But when a page comes up offering another survey I usually give it another stab and sometimes luck out.
-
I hate to interject a note of positivity here, but I've been doing quite well on surveys the past few weeks. I try to stick with 15 minute videos....or less. I can't focus on one subject for more than 15 minutes.
-
I have always had a problem with surveys! That is why I am very excited just to get any survey at all! I don't care how long it takes as long as I am not dq'd I am a happy camper!
-
Well, I had a worse one last night. I done that stupid young binge survey and it took almost an hour and a half. Suppose to take 61 minutes. I watched 3 videos that lasted 20 minutes each. And did not get credit. Has not credited as of this morning and I done it yesterday evening. I submitted a support ticket. That one really makes me mad.
-
That happened to me too. I was very upset. I never did any survey since then. I know how you feel.
-
Right now I am skeptical of doing another one. It's not like you get paid that much to start with but then when you don't get paid anything it is discouraging. Why bother. Idk. It seems like when I start making decent with the surveys is when I start getting the ones that don't credit or I do it all the way and then mysteriously don't qualify.
-
Well right from the start I will go through a survey and get one penny because I don't qualify. Yes I think it is unfair they should at least give a nickel for the trouble. but if the survey is more than fifteen minutes they should pay a penny a minute you spend on it.
-
I feel your frustration, I rarely even bother with these surveys anymore-such a waste of time. :(
-
The cookie everything else, they should cookie the qualifying questions.
-
Thats why I don't bother with the surveys anymore. I cannot stand when that happens. It always happens to me also. So, I stopped doing them.
-
Well, I have not have time lately for surveys but yeah that has happened to me before and it is FRUSTRATING, there should be some rulie against things like that but Fc is so good with so many other things that it really does not matter as much. But yeah I know the feeling all too well
-

But the surveys are the biggest earning features from what I have seen. Videos are a couple of pennies and if you can get paid for a survey it is usually closer to 75 cents or more. That is why I like them.
-
I keep trying to do surveys too, and seem disqualified most of the time. The payoff is so good when it does happen.
-
yea i hate that but fusioncash is the only site i know of pays you a penny when i dont get the suvey, dont even bother with the surveys on other sites that i do, not unless its the tv ad one 8) ;)
-
That's why TASKS ARE BETTER :highfive: The majority of my earnings comes from doing tasks. In a little over a year I am approaching $1000 just from doing tasks :o :o :o :highfive: :party: 8)
-
I know this has happened to me also. If you are not qualified for the survey they need to let you know before you waste your time answering a bunch of questions.
-
That's a real shame. I've got to admit that I think very carefully before entering into a survey which lasts for that length of time because there are so many things that can go wrong. Not least an internet connection which can boot me out! I've also noticed that for the longer surveys, I lose concentration somewhat (which is not good for me taking the survey or the survey company I am taking it for). There should be some guidelines which suggest that surveys last no longer than 30 minutes.
-
I find myself avoiding surveys any more, mainly because of that.
-
Just happened to me not long ago grrrrrrrrrrr lol
-
I wish I were in the stock market!
-
I attempted several surveys this morning. I was successful in complete two. I did get a penny credit for a couple of the ones that I disqualified for but not for all of them. Oh. well, I'll keep trying.
-
When I first started making money on the internet, I tended to join survey sites because if you qualify, they paid more than just a couple of cents. But as others have found, that is a mighty big "if"; I tended to hardly ever qualify for surveys... So then I started to only continue with those survey sites that paid something when you didn't qualify. It was a little better, but I was still not making much money as I was still not qualifying for much. But after I found some more legit sites, like FC, I've stopped doing surveys for the most part. If I do try for a survey, it is usually because I have only a dollar or two away from being able to cash-out but only a few days left before some of my earnings start to expire. And I think that surveys are getting worse... I agree that if someone completes the first few demographic questions and start to get into the meat of the survey, they should pay the person. I think some really do cheat their survey-takers by essentially finishing the main survey questions and then disqualify the person after they have gotten all of the answers they want.
On the flip side, I've noticed that FC has an offer for PineCone surveys.... I will attest that they are very legit and probably the best survey site that I've found. You may not get as many surveys as on other sites, but you do get paid for the surveys that they give you (actually I think they have some of their internal surveys that they use to match the survey to the takers for which they won't pay... But those were usually pretty quick to take, and I'd rather do that and ensure that future surveys will be well suited to). They've even given me some product-testing surveys where they'll send out a sample of some product that they want you to try out for a period of time, and then complete a 2nd survey about your experience in using the product. Those are the best! They not only pay you for both the initial survey as well as the follow-up survey, they also provide you with a product to try; sometimes they'll even let you keep the product after you've completed the survey.
-
yes, that's happened to me a couple times. quite frustrating, i agree...
but i dont think they can do anything about it
-
I hate when this happens. I tend to take breaks from surveys because of this. I can only handle so much frustration.
-
I spend my time doing other things besides surveys. It's not a consistent payer. Sorry Admin!
-
I had just about quit even trying to do surveys but yesterday decided to try again and I was actually able to complete one and get credit for it! Wish that would happen more often but it just doesn't.
-
That has happened to me also. There really isn't much that can be done as far as crediting is concerned. I guess you have to decide if you want to keep trying them or work on something else. For me, as frustrating as that can be, I take a break and try again later.
-
It happen to me all the time. That not new at all. There a lot of surveys that they looking for certain people that why most of them you will not qualify.
-
It is bad when you dont get credit for surveys that you do. Happened to me a lot, and I only do surveys which are short.
-
I have had this happen to me a lot more lately too. Opinion Outpost used to be my favorite survey site but anymore I finish the whole survey just to get disqualified.
-
one cents is better than nothing and I know how you feel
-
i hate that!!!!! >:(
-
I've had that happen to me also a few times. Think it is so unfair! especially when you get to the last section asking for the demographics questions
-
I know what you mean that happened to me once or twice. It really make you mad ha.
-
That's the reason why I haven't done any surveys in a long while. I try to stick with the other money making opportunities on FC.
-
Yeah,I haven't even tried a survey in months. I'm not sure that's what FC likes to hear.Lol But,I'm getting sick of the work for low pay. If they want me to take more surveys,make it worth my while.
Of course,I can't cash out as often,but ce la vie.
-
This happened to me all the time. Almost there and then it says you screened the survey it is very frustrating.. That's why sometimes when I get new survey I closed them right away unless I have lots of time to try. I mostly earned my FC money from videos and tasks and of course PTC.
