I dont qualify for most surveys Why??

[ripagert]

each offer has a few different surveys....if you are persistant enough(ie check in few times a day) you can usually get 1 or 2.  They look for people with different demographics.....but they have surveys for everyone....just keep trying and be persistant.

[debidoo]

Who knows? I thought it was my age group and the fact that I have no children under 18 in my house but that is just my guess.  Funny thing is I qualify for more FC surveys than the ones that go through other links but even those I don't qualify for a lot of them but I am just happy for the ones I do qualify for.....now there is another survey site I belong to that I have done what I would guess is the whole survey including the statistical info at the end and then was told I didn't qualify...Excuse me what? Oh well, good luck to you

I suspect that many of you that are around my age (56) are probably disqualified for a lot because of our households.  I am single, with no kids at home.  Like many of you I suspect that they are looking at 30-40 year-olds with kids under 18.  But with the boomer generation being a huge demographic right now, I wonder, why is? that?  And the health questions are kinda lame, cause most people my age are still in relatively good health, so we get kicked out of those surveys too.  Oh well.  Just keep trying, and utilize all the tools at FC, and we will all still come out ahead.

yeah the survey thing sucks sometimes u need alota time and patience

I can be on a survery for 30 min then be told you dont qualify. They just are not worth it to me. None of the fusion surveys qualified but I answered questions for 20 to 30 min on them for a penny. Questions not even related to what the survey was supposed to be about.
The surveys must be ways to get spies attached to your computer.

I totally agree. Whether you qualify or not they should give you something ALL the time, it dosen't say you'll be spending 1/2 hr answering the same questions over and over to find out you dont qualify, this is not right!

Ys, right. Irrespective of whether the vendor has denied it, FC should pay the money at least 50% of the total so that they value people's time. If I am spending 15 min on a survey and surveys gets denied later which is so frustrating

Independent contractors, (survey takers), are not being paid for time spent; they are only paid for completed surveys.  FC doesn't get paid if the survey-taker doesn't get paid.  Why would FC pay 50% for an uncompleted survey and lose money on the incomplete transaction?

I have come to the conclusion that age and location disqualify a "surveyee"-- especially age.  My basis for this opinion is how quickly I am disqualified after those first few questions.  Companies should realize that seniors are also consumers and sometimes have more discretionary funds to funnel into their products.

[acurtsinger2]

sad but true....the target age is usually 18 to 34 yrs old and i am r45, so i feel i get dq'd from surveys because of age as well

[luelue]

This is so true, I notice the same thing. I am 43 and most of the surveys disqualify me after they ask my age. This is not fair ans some should be done, but I doubt it.

Hey I was wondering why it so hard to qualify..

[tommonson321]

Hey I was wondering why it so hard to qualify..

I think the key to qualify for surveys is to check FC a couple times a day for any new ones.  If the survey has already had a lot of people with similar age and background complete it then the quota will be full.  So if you see a survey take it as soon as you can.  I don't qualify for all the ones I try but I complete enough to make it worth my time. Best of luck to you.

[AMBERTAYLOR31]

i qualify for the biggest majority of them.  i'm not sure why.  they are just looking for certain age, race, location, income, etc.  i guess i may be what they are looking for most of the time.  who knows....

[Elder_J]

There might be people similar to you and/or your lifestyle that reach the survey first, so they might not need more of the same types of people

Went to the local community college and spoke to my old Introduction to Business professor. He is a consultant and has a PhD in marketing. Wonderful guy and a great teacher, and very knowledgeable on marketing and business matters. He explained to me that many surveys are looking for information from as was repeated in the room certain demographic groups. There is no favoritism or only picking one age, race, sex or other demographic. The surveys are all geared to the researchers needs so they are random to the people trying to take them.

I do a few surveys when I sit down for a rest and to listen to some music. I no longer concern myself with if I am going to qualify for a survey. Since it is rest or down time no problem. Good to work my brain a little. And soon I will try to emulate oldbuddy and surf the net for money while I watch tv. Right now the computer and tv's are in different rooms. I don't even bring my portable digital tv in the computer room. But I will try to bring life to my Dell laptop by installing Browser Linux the ways he said he did.
