Survey Rant

[lywb2168]

Some of the surveys do that for whatever reason it is very upsetting but what can you do the people that does those surveys like to be very deceiving.  I still do them even though they are been very annoying.

I rarely get upset when I don't qualify for surveys --- I'm near 60, no kids at home and retired.  When i do, it is awesome.

Tonight, I got an email with .Easy Mobile Phone Study".  NONE of the questions related to mobile phones and most of them asked about my company.... I am retired.  I have no company.   I really do not like it when I don't have the option to answer honestly.   There wasn''t an option for "I dont work". 

Ok, rant over. I got my 1cent DQ bonus!

I know exactly what you are talking about.
By the way, I am older than you and I am
retired. I have tried many times those
surveys asking about my company,
and as you says, there is no option
to get away from it.

Personally, I am at the point, where I do
not even try surveys anymore.

I do videos and tasks.

Let's keep plugging.

I think that some of these survey companies such as Precision Sample have many, maybe even hundreds, of surveys available. I am thinking that the title or caption is just a tease and just one of the many surveys available. These survey companies are trying to attract survey takers and once they do, they are attempting to find the best survey available for the respondent. So, first they attract you and then they attempt to find a survey that fits your demos and characteristics. 

I, too, have been asked questions that don't fit and there is no appropriate answer available.. For instance, I do not own an automobile yet I have been asked what I drive with no option for something like "I don't drive" or "I don't own an automobile". I have been asked ages of my children with no option available for "I have no children". Obviously, I am a bad fit for these type of surveys and I click off hoping that the next survey will fit me better.  I love it when I am right for the survey and vice-versa.

At least they give you a 1cent incentive for not qualifying.. Other sites don't give you squat..

That is true and that is why I ONLY do the FC surveys!!!

this is the main reason i usually skip the surveys

  I don't like those either. Since I became disabled I get a lot of those. Maybe they'll realize that not everyone works for whatever reason.

I avoid surveys like the plaque.  I never qualified for them and if I did, I'd be disqualified for whatever reason after 10 minutes of completing the dang survey.
