MyThoughCounts just made me take a 1 1/2 hour survey, then said I do not qualify. Then Give Us Your 2 cents is have technical difficulties. I'm trying to refer people and this makes me look bad.

surveys can be troublesome like that. that's why i prefer to stay away from them. there have been times where i took a long survey and made it all the way to the end only to have them tell me i wasn't right for the survey. they usually re-ask question at the end to make sure your answering everything legit.

Delete your history & cookies, I have done some surveys then I log off and back in and my money is all there, It just takes time. Hope all goes well.

Hmmm, I always do that one first and get credit. never have probs with that but could be the criteria not being met. I never get it on first try.

I would be furious too if i took that long of a survey and didn't get credit for it. That has happened to me before though on some of the 20-30 minute ones. I don't do surveys that often nowadays.

I limit myself to the dailys and do surveys occasionally.

I prefer the GUY2c site since they seem to recognize when I have done a survey before and don't make me walk thru every survey that I've been DQ'd on before.

MTC, however, doesn't seem to do that.  So if you are in a demographic group that tends to be DQ's most of the time, this is a time consumer.

The advice to clear your cookies and temp files is a must do when starting with a given survey site.  In addition, when you do complete a survey, keep the congrads page open for 10 minutes -- or until you see the credit in your account.

If you don't receive credit within 10 minutes, do a printscreen of the congrads page, paste it to PAINT; add a few comments about where, when, what, and how much about the survey and save it as a jpeg picture (suitably titled so you can find it easily).  If you haven't received credit for the survey in a couple of days, you can send in a Support ticket and attach the jpeg picture.  You may still not get credit, but jpeg picture gives FC something to work.

And yes, it is frustrating to work thru most of a survey and then get DQ's or worse to complete the survey and fail to get the congrads page because of a technical difficulty.   Almost as frustrating to be DQ'd on 10 surveys (more quickly) and reach the notice that they've run out of surveys  -- please try again tomorrow.

But I keep trying and am usually successful eventually.
