Surveys Which Claim To Not Be A Survey
« on: October 07, 2014, 04:29:04 am »
Increasingly over the past month, on not only Fusion but the several other sites I am on, there appear to be surveys which lead you through a lengthy qualifying procedure...to the point you think you are taking and involved in a survey...and then suddenly state: "We are looking for a survey for you."  I, for one, am starting to resent spending question after question for 5-10 minutes in what I think is a reputable qualifying survey, only to be told after such an amount of time that I'm not even in a survey as yet.  Although a cent is nice...in some cases and sites you may get that...I believe these surveyors need to provide remuneration a bit more than a penny.  Once in a while I understand why unions came about.

The same thing happened to me today.  I went through all the general qualifying questions like age and sex, then went into specific questions about buying tires.  I had many questions about tires and I was breathing a sigh of relief that I had finally found a survey that would accept me.  The questions continued until they told me I didn't qualify.

Yes, this happens to me a lot, 10-15 minutes into doing the "survey" it claims to have found a survey for me to complete.  This is completely rediculous as there is NO reason to ask some of the questions they are just to qualify you for a survey.  There needs to be a change to how surveys are done so that people are actually able to do them, versus survey partners essentially stealing responses without granting credit for work.

Yeah, well watch out for Survey Downline.  I've completed a few surveys through them.  They claim it takes 2-4 weeks to be credited, but I have NEVER been credited for any of their surveys.  On September 24th, I actually COMPLETED a FC Survey called "Easy Internet Study" and AFTER completion, I got the message that the survey was either closed or I completed it elsewhere.  I know I didn't complete it elsewhere, and lost 75 cents.

well said I totally agree. that's why I rarely take the surveys for that very reason. As far as I am concerned FC can remove the surveys or get some reputable paying ones. :highfive:

I agree too!!  I am really tired of thinking I am actually taking a survey and it says that I didn't qualify...why do I feel like I am being stolen from??????I think I am going to start concentrating more on tasks...staying positive.. :pumpkin: :pumpkin:

Yes, I know the feeling. That is when you start thinking
"they" do not want you, and may be they do not.

As a general rule, if  you are over 55, you are
basically out.

Surveys is probably paying the best, but there
are other ways of making a few cents, here.
at Fusion Cash.

I stopped trying surveys a while ago. It was
just a waste of time for me.
