FC Daily Survey - Pet Lovers

[kjstrukel]

I am VERY confused.  The paid survey from FC was titled "Pet Lovers", so I clicked it and then got a bunch of questions about health issues and I was disqualified.  Has this happened to anyone else?

Not on this survery but yes it happens I had one that was for financial services  but was on fast food

Yeah, it seems they always migrate to health issues, instead of staying on the subject of the survery itself.

What I don't like about surveys is that if we don't have health issues, then we get disqualified.  It's like they expect us all to be sick instead of healthy.  I wish the world would quit expecting us to be unnhealthy.

I don't even bother with the surveys, although I have qualified for one or two in the past.

I like sticking with the PTC, DCE, paid videos, paid searches, forum bonus, posting pics of payments, etc...

Every now and then I find an offer I like and do them occasionally.

I did this Pet Lovers survey - it was a survey about health issues / health insurance for your pet(s). Maybe thats why you got those questions, I dont know but I know some other FC Surveys I have done have been way off topic..
I completed an online activities survey that was about mobile phones, and I completed a cigar survey that was about online activities (lol!) but I did get credit on both these so no biggy I guess, but they should be properly named.

I also did the one about Pet Insurance...... this was just weird.  The Survey was titled "Pet Lovers" and all the questions were about my personal medical issues.  Perhaps if I had some, I would have qualified!!!

I'm glad to hear it wsn't just me. I attempted that survey-and when I dq'd I sat there wondering what I was asked about pets or animals that would have booted me from qualifying.

I have had the same thing happen to me as well. One time I started a survey on shoes and ended up answering questions about cell phones!  Of course, .....disqualified.

Sometimes the topics stray from the original titles.  I think that is so they can get more diverse information from you.

No.

FusionCash is not like a restaurant; our paying customers aren't you members but rather the advertisers and survey providers.  Members like yourself are independent contractors, and you get paid rather than paying us (like you do with most businesses).

We work hard to balance the needs of our members (without whom there wouldn't be a site) and our advertisers (without whom we couldn't keep the lights on).  This means a number of compromises: we have to limit the amount of bonuses we issue (we don't earn anything from it being your birthday... not to mention that with 2.3 million members we'd be issuing approximately 6000 birthday bonuses per day on average... not to FURTHER mention that if there was a birthday bonus, people might tell their referrals to choose a fake birthdate which is coming up soon so that they can get an additional bonus [and an incentive to falsify information is bad]).

As for survey qualification, it's a complex issue:
1) Surveys are often routed through two or more survey systems, and they rarely share information: so you may have to "qualify" for a survey multiple times.
2) Surveys are typically targeted at one demographic "slice", for example "males in the midwest".  Once the quota of "males in the midwest" is full, you wont qualify anymore.  You may see other people being credited for the same survey, because they're in a different 'slice'.
3) Since your qualification depends on your demographics (which you can't control) different members have different experiences with surveys.  For some, who are among rarer demographics, they almost always click through, qualify and get credited.  For others, among more common demographics, they have more difficulties qualifying. 

To belabor the restaurant metaphor, a survey provider might "order" 200 survey completions from "males in the midwest".  If we delivered them "females in new york" instead, they'd rightfully be dissatisfied; like getting fish 'n chips when you ordered a steak.  This is why taking surveys can be frustrating, inconsistent work.  If there was a way to improve it, we would, but you can't really tell a multi-billion dollar multinational research firm that their survey platform "needs to be fixed"...

That has happened to me. I click on the survey and the questions they ask has nothing to do what the title of the survey was.

This has happened to me too but as long as I am able to qualify in to a survey, complete it and get credited for it I don't mind what title it is labeled under.
