Credit for trying surveys?

[drsuzn]

Yes, I agree I wish there was an incentive for trying a survey, because I can go along for 10 or more questins before being told I did not qualify.  Even a .05 or .10 cent credit would be nice.  Thank-you ad I Am, dr.suzn.

Yes, there is sometimes alot of work for no pay.  It does get very frustrating. I don't know what to do.  Any suggestions? thank-you and I Am, dr.suzn

i agree

[ro901]

definitely, I would try surveys more if I got just 1 penny for all the times I did and didn't qualify.

I agree there should be credit; especially when you complete almost the entire thing!!!! If they pay $.50 for a finished survey, how about at least $.10 for trying?!!!

It sure can be frustrating when one of those pesky daily surveys fail to credit after you've invested 20 or 30 minutes of your time one on of them. Believe me, I feel your pain and I'm sure the staff at FC does too, but there's nothing they can do. For all those you are venting here, I would remind you that when you signed up, you agreed to abide by the Terms of Service which are always available to you to read any time you wish.

If you're not sure where to find the relevant section, click on Links/ Terms of Service, the scroll down to part III, the Offers section. Under Offer Completion, click on the click here link in the very first paragraph and you will be taken to the Offer Crediting Information Page. These are the rules and guidelines you agreed to follow when you signed up for FC and I doubt if they are going to change any time soon.

One of the key points here is that some offers may not credit due to nothing more than just plain bad luck and FC understands this but there is nothing they can do. The other important line is this one:

there is no way to guarantee that all offers will credit at all times.

I think that's pretty clear. FC offers no guarantees because no system is perfect and they don't get paid unless we get paid. I want FC to make money so they can continue to operate in the black, unlike Washington for example. One of the best posts I read on this subject compared trying to qualify for the surveys to trying to qualify for a job. You don't get paid for filling out a job application. You don't even get paid for qualifying for the job. You only get paid if you actually LAND the job.

If you find the daily surveys not worth your time and effort, then you always have the choice not do them, don't you? It's really a personal decision, just like the daily tasks. I personally stopped doing those because I found them to be way too difficult and time-consuming for the pittance they pay even if you do actually complete them successfully. These are personal decisions that only you can answer for yourself.

For me, the dailies allow me to cash out every month and so, for now at least, I will continue to attempt them every day. I welcome the challenge and I'm having fun seeing if I can get at least one of those surveys to credit for me every day. That's just me. I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm a glutton for punishment. Bring it on!   

I think this thread should be pinned at the top of the threads, and all of the posts but this one deleted. Griping doesn't make you any money, does it?

I wish there was an incentive to at least attempt a survey.  So many times I answer numerous questions and think that I'm finally getting to the end when I'm told I don't qualify.

I completely agree.

I guess a lot of people feel the same way. I know I think for sure I am doing the survey, when all of a sudden it states SORRY you do not qualify, GEE WHIZ.  A little something would be nice for trying!

[zenlife2000]

There are some days when you are spending a significant amount of time just trying to qualify for surveys and receive nothing. If a small token was given,I believe more people would be will to try.

I agree more people will try more surveys if they pay you when you qualify or not and give you more cash for surveys like for a $1 or 75 cents

It is so frustrating to not qualify!!

i kno that is crazy its like we starting surveys for nothing

[laine39]

  I just spent a half hour on a .50 survey and then got the you did not qualify.  It was a full survey completed....they just don't want to pay. We should get some credit from FC for this or they shouldn't sponsor these companies. Toluna is one of the worst. I don't do any of theirs anymore....waste of time. 

[webe4angels]

Agreed!!
I personally have stopped doing surveys because of this issue.
You input so much info.. Only to be told... Sorry you don't qualify.
Frustrating.....
Just saying....

I think the only way FC might even consider this is IF they stopped paying for other things like posting payment photos, forum posting bonuses, contests, etc. and pooled that money to "compensate" those who spend time trying to qualify for a survey.  Personally, I'd rather get my buck and my three bucks and my six cents, four cents, two cents, one cent for the other things and just figure - it's only time and it will be made up through the three bucks for posting this month - instead of having them do that.

I've had the survey thing happen a lot. I read a post on one of them that said id the survey thinks you are entering contradicting infomation it will kick you out so be careful of what you are putting in and it may solve some of the issues.
