Very BAD Survey Day

[bostonphil]

I had a very bad day today when it came to surveys.

I do not remember if I actually completed any that credited but I completed 4 or 5 and upon submitting, got  a message that not every survey is a winner and I got nothing.  At least one or two of these surveys were long to very long. At least one to three were for a researcher at a University. You know the ones that I am talking about.

I can not remember how many times this happened to me today but it was 4 or 5, if not more. Most of these were NOT for Fusion Cash. It was for another site that I have also been with a long time and once had very good experiences with. I do not believe any of these were for Fusion Cash.

In all the situations, I had actually completed the survey and submitted only two get the message that not every survey is a winner.

I think I know which surveys. They look legitimate because they are a "researcher."

What is so bad is not just that they don't pay us, it's the disrespect for our time. We make so little as it is (which is fine, this is not a full-time job), but it's like they are saying "we got what need, bye, bye now, suckers."

If a survey company would just be honest and say "we want your help, but we don't actually want to pay you," I would be more apt to take it for the honesty.

Oh well, on bad days such as this, take a break, go and get a snack, or do what you normally do to relax. Then, come back later, and start again.

You probably just got all your bad surveys all at once.

Good luck, and here are some pets!

Thanks for your support.  I think that some of these so called surveys are not really surveys but companies that are looking for consumers who are going to  buy their product or service in the near future.

The last one that I did yesterday that did not pay me was so called research about traveling to Mainland China. One of the questions asked if you were planning to travel to Mainland China in the next year and I was not. I think that that eliminated me but I was allowed to continue with the entire survey which was very long and then got a sorry after submitting.

I did send a message to support about this.

Just for the record, this was not on Fusion Cash.

Oh, I know you said that it was not Fusion. But this happens on Fusion as well, and they do nothing.

I wish Fusion would stand up for us more, but they always say "we are at the mercy of our survey companies."

I think it's a load of crap, but what can we do? Oh well, we just take more surveys and move on.

Otherwise, this job will make you nuts.

Have a great Sunday.
