Ticked off by surveys

[ozoftacoma]

I'm really tempted to cancel or unsubscribe from the 4 or 5 surveys that I subscribe to because I get the same messages. Those or either "we have all the volunteers we need" or some other lame message. I say take them all off or don't subscribe to any of them. They all seem to be a waste of time and not willing to pay anything to anybody. I did them once before and got the same stuff. Fool me once, try again and give the benefit of the doubt (maybe they changed), fool me twice, I must be the idiot they think I am.

there is definitely a trend here and the same thing happened to me. actually once i realized that it wasn't going to credit me if i didn't qualify for the survey i went halfway through i would take another one...i actually did this about 4 times in a row on mythoughtscount, i think it was, and it kicked me out of all of them saying i didn't qualify. very frustrating. i still have $5 to do in offers to make my $15 worth and i'm starting to think it's not worth all the time spent just to earn .50!

Yeah this happened to me too, but I just moved on and didn't give too much thought to it. I've been doing great so far. Hopefully making first cash out soon.

I think I was credited onece.  It's pretty frustrating.

Yea that is very frustrating when that happens but hey its part of the deal. You just have to be patient just as in life

[vangabhargavi]

Yeah For me also same case. I try a lot but it is useless

Remember to always clear out your cookies before you go to take a survey, and if you do make it to the end of the survey and get the Congrats, you're done message be sure to leave the window open for a little bit, and don't clear your cookies to take the next survey until you've gotten credited. I successfully completed and got credit 14 times last month for the daily surveys (and I didn't even try to qualify every single day) so I assure you that it is possible to qualify. You just have to keep trying for a new survey if you don't qualify at first, and again be sure to delete your cookies! I sometimes hit a brick wall with a survey, close out of it, clear out my cookies an hour later and then qualify. I've only really been annoyed maybe once or twice when I felt like I'd gotten pretty far with a survey and then didn't qualify. Most of the time I do not waste a lot of time answering the qualifying questions before I'm either kicked out or move forward with the survey.

i like doing the surveys. i've been getting approved for MyThoughtcounts more often than usual lately.  Sometimes I get the other two also.

[stoic1ness]

The last two days I've done the daily surveys, like usual, but did not get credited for the ones I completed. Is this happening to anyone else/does this happen often? I did both the my2cents and mythoughts surveys on both days, but no credit.

Hello everyone, I just joined this opportunity an hour ago.  I don't quite know what I am doing.  I know I have to do surveys which, just like everyone else, had a bad experience of always getting a 'not qualified' response after spending hours in answering their questions.  What do you guys advise to me as a newbie.  I want to make extra $$$ as pretty soon, I will be getting paid only federal minimum wage since the California budget has not been approved yet.  Thank you so much for any help you could extend.

Well, I usually get credited for Your 2 Cents, but did a couple and never got credited.  That really is a letdown after spending all the time doing them.  I don't understand why we get credited some times, and other times no.  Clearing cookies and all that jazz doesn't seem to be help/no help to me. It's frustrating

There is a definite problem here if so many people are complaining about not getting credited.  I do know that the suppliers of the surveys get paid right away for even offering them.  This feels like a rip off to me.  Why would so many people have trouble on these surveys?  There should be some kind of investigation about this.  How can I refer my friends to a site that rips them off (occasionally)?  I was an Accountant before retiring.  FC checks and balances are not that great.  It's almost like if they throw you a bone here or there, then it keeps you strung along......or.....maybe not.  Maybe FC is just as stymied as we are that don't get credit.  Seems though they would have some kind of tracking system in place to know what we do/don't do to help us?  Not knowing how they regulate this is the mystery.  I know a lot of people get credited all the time, so they're not complaining, but those who don't get credited, and write about it have to be just the tip of the ice berg.  How many people are not getting credited, and don't say anything?  Just sayin..............

I like to do surverys but what ticks me off most is spending 15 or more minutes answering questions then get a message  " not qualified for payment"
With the few questions you do in the beginning to "qualify" for the survery, that should give them enough info to do the survey or not.
Instead alot of them say your qualified, you spend 10 or more minutes answering questions about specific products, you get to 60 or 90 % through the survey then POP all of a sudden you don't qualify.  Something is wrong in this!!!

I have had a lot of similar situations you mentioned in your post.  I feel something is going on with having completed 90% of the survey they say you qualified for and then get denied payment.  This needs to be looked into.
