advertised vs. actual survey time

What's the big difference you've had between the time a survey said it would take and how long it actually took. Today I had a survey say it would take 15 minutes and it took three times as long.

I've had lots of surveys that took twice as long as the time stated on the invitation,some 3 times as long.It happens a lot,and all survey companies do it.It would be better if they told us how long they really take,but I go ahead and finish them once I start because that's the only way to get paid.

And lets not discuss the tasks advertised time vs actual time.  I really hate the survey that you almost complete (spending 20 min) and then get told the survey is closed or you dont fit the profile.  If they let you get that far they need to pay up.  I mean they have gotten all the info they wanted.

I have had that happen on all my sites (not just Fusion Cash) many times over. Sometimes, it seems that the survey will never end and I have actually given up on some surveys because they were taking way too long. However, I have also had it happen that a survey was shorter than the advertised time. That does not happen too often but it does happen.

Surveys are hit or a miss. (I have said that too many times to count). I always take a deep breath before I begin one because I never know what the outcome will be.

Nevertheless, when it is all said and done, I continue to seek out surveys to complete.    I like taking surveys,  completing them and getting credited.
