The past couple days I'm having some crappy luck with the surveys.  I've gotten to the end of several surveys after 20 or more minutes and they tell me they just have a couple last questions to finish the survey.  Usually it's my address, race, and income which I'm pretty sure they asked for at the start of the survey.  The completion bar even shows that I'm 99 percent complete and then with the next click I'm told I don't qualify. :BangHead:  It's as if they are getting a free survey out of me without having to pay.  Surely, this can't be the case, but it definitely doesn't seem fair.

I've had the same problem also. It's as if they have their choices made before the survey starts s to who gets the bonus and who does'nt. I think they go by demographics more than race, color or religion!

and the above reasons are why I think we should get 0.01-0.05/attempt at a survey. This is expecially true for the ones requiring 5mins or more of pre-qualifying survey questions

do you think it has something to do with the browser you use maybe? i have a mac but i have both safari and firefox. i'm going to use firefox to use the surveys from now on and see if that helps? i have no idea... we'll see i guess! :dontknow:

i soooo hate that.  i had that happen today.  altho, it wasn't 20 mins i spent, but i didn't get approved for any survey today (i tried 5 i think).  somedays you win and somedays you don't.  anyway, i gotta get back to packing ... we are moving in 2 wks  ::) and i need to pack a little here and a little there! 

sorry for the difficulties, it's a bummer for sure.

Every once in a while that happens to me, but I've never had it happen consecutively.  Just bad luck I guess- sorry, it's infuriating  :-

I'm totally feelings how you feel right now, that's been happening to me for a week so far also! It's frustrating and I do too, feel like they are getting a free survey out of me. : On special rare occasion, one survey would work for me. Sigh.

Same here, I spent 25 minutes on a cell phone survey tonight, I think it was the Give us your 2 cents. Then after the "demographic" questions, it says to click the button to submit my answers, then it goes to a blank screen that says connection cache blah, blah, blah then I try refreshing the screen and it goes back to the beginning of the survey. I did NOT attempt it again, too much time wasted already for 60 cents.

I just recently started with FC, and while so far I quite enjoy it, that has happened to me a couple times. One particular time it was after I had spent nearly half an hour responding to questions. Needless to say, I was not pleased and ended up signing off for the rest of the night. It does kind of feel like they're just getting a free survey out of you, but if it keeps happening, I'll hide those particular sites.

It can get frustating. The part I don't like is when it says the survey will take 15 min and it ends up being more like 45 min  :angry7:
