Has anyone done a survey for a half hour then gotten the sorry you dont qualify

[gina1408]

This happened to me once, i was so upset about it. I make sure if i do any of the FC surveys to make sure they are the 5 minute ones, so im not stuck spending half an hour on something that will disqualify me for no apparent reason. I recall getting disqualified after i selected my gender one time, i thought to myself, how discriminatory! anyway, i avoid surveys these days for that reason!   :-

If a particular survey's demographic criteria calls for a different gender than the one selected, how is this "discriminatory"?  What if they were vetting for female survey-takers because the male respondants had filled that particular criteria quota; would that be "discriminatory" to male survey-takers?

Failing to qualify, (getting Dq'd), from any one survey depends on what may have 'gone wrong'.  The possibilities include, (but are not restricted to); rushing through a survey, providing inconsistent answers, being disqualified under demographic criteria, not clearing "cookies" before taking a survey, having a survey's demographic-quota parameters fill while taking the survey, or not leaving the completed survey/"congratulations" page up for 5-10 minutes.  Many of those things happened to most who've taken surveys before and they used to happen to me as well when learning the ropes. Evenso, sometimes 'glitch happens'.

Welcome to FC, doubtless you'll get the hang of it - don't forget to enjoy the site while making money.

Yes....nothing drives me crazier than obviously completing a survey, and then getting booted...... I dont mind being booted if I am not the proper target, but come on......dont take me thru the enture survey, make me answer 40 minutes worth of questions...then tell me I dont qualify!!!!     Thats enough to wanna chuck the laptop out a window!!!!!!!!!!!

Part of the game I suppose.

That's happend to me a lot. I'm filling out what I think is the survey, to all a sudden I get a "Sorry you don't qualify" leaving me to wonder what the heck I was just doing the last 15 minutes. Oh well, it's a shot in the dark that doesn't cost anything but time.

yes I have done the same thing and even when i tried to do other ones that they list does the same thing and sometimes it gets discouraging.

Likely, that was a pre-qualification demographic sorting which preceded the actual survey, (and/or the demographic quote filled during the process).

Life's a gamble.  You can't 'win' if you don't play the odds.

I have had several and all of them where with  surveryhead, would finish the surver and submitted it and then a message would come up about an error and that they would check into it and then never hear back from them. Sucks but i keep trying.

I did a beer survey today. I was into a half hour of it and thinking when is this going to be completed. They accepted me in the survey. I completed lists and lists of questions then all the sudden they said sorry you dont qualify. after doing the survey for a half hour. Now they could have done that at the beginning you know. That was totally dirty and it has happened 3 times now. And you know what will happen. I will get emails now having to do with my answers on the surveys. I also downloaded 2 of the games that were on the video page and did not get credit. Im thinking about this next payment to slow down and not to so much work on this place. Its just not being fair. And I think they know it and still get tags and spies on the computer for doing these things that are not crediting.
 

I know what you mean. That to me is the worst survey I have ever taken. I take all that time to take the survey and then get sorry you don't qualify. I understand how angry you are right now. I did  one survey not to long ago and It took some time and I got sorry you don't qualify.

You DO know this happens on ALL survey panels/sites and on all "PTC" or "cash earning" sites that sponsor surveys.....
It's just the way it is, and if you're going to try to earn cash taking surveys, you have to learn to "grin and bear it"

(and NO - not grin and BARE it, falcon9)

I got credit for that beer survey.

You don't know about BEER, do you?
Do you.....
DRINK BEER???

Of course; I've always admired the Aegyptians and they invented beer, (and lightbulbs, electrical generators, batteries ... pretty good for 8,500 years ago, no?).  Although I haven't tried the original Aegyptian beer recipe yet, I'll occasionally indulge in dark import beers or ales - which is probably why I qualified for that survey.

I think everyone on here has experienced some survey horror stories but there are still a lot of good surveys out there. It just happens to be luck of the draw unfortunately, but luck can also go your way sometimes as well...
