What's the point?
« on: December 22, 2013, 01:56:13 am »


What's the point of a survey that will take 15 minutes and pay $0.00? Aren't we better off just trying to "attempt" the survey and test out of it (to receive $0.01)? It doesn't make any sense to me.  :confused1:

Wow, I did not see that one, but you have a great point.  You are right, mrrangerrick, I probably would have went ahead and bypassed it myself.  How strange.

I had this one too.  I went ahead and attempted it just in case the zero was a mistake.  I DQ'd after the first couple of questions so I wasn't able to see if it actually paid anything or not.

I'm sure it was just a mistake like things that say they'll take 2000 minutes

Same here, it didn't pay anything.  :'(

Well I haven't seen that one and would probably just pass it by.

That's funny - wonder how many people will try it anyway? Not me.

If I ever saw this I would never attempt this survey at all. It would be a waste of my valuable time for not getting rewarded for my effort. I'd rather get an FC survey bonus for this instead by disqualifying.

I almost never get the supposed survey anyway.  So I click on all the surveys listed anymore after I figured out it might say a survey for Cat owners and you end up with a home improvement survey and the payment is totally different (and this was not "continue" to find another survey.

I'm sure it was just a mistake.  The staff works hard to make this a great community.  No one is perfect.  We all make mistakes.

I've done surveys like that before and sometimes have qualified to receive a product to test.  So even though I didn't get paid anything to do the survey in that moment I was rewarded in another way.

That's an excellent point!  I've actually had that happen to me before so I don't know why I didn't think of it!

I think it may be a test to see if your paying attention.  Could be, and maybe to see if people will do surveys for free.  I can't tell you how many adds I see for a five hundred dollar gift card only to realize you have to spend that much to get  the card.  Many fall for it so yes they maybe seeing if you will do one for free.  God Bless
