wait wait wait a minute

Just did a survey on credit cards for about 20 long minutes maybe more. Then it said i wasn't qualified and i was done.What the hey,this hasn't happened in a long time. So beware of ,what a waste of time.

Sometimes that happens from time to time. You spend several minutes answering questions and then you'll answer a question a certain way and then all of sudden you're disqualified. It seems to me all the important disqualifying questions should be at the beginning of the survey - not in the middle or towards the end.

Yes sometimes I think that the qualifying questions are so long winded that you can easily think that you have started the survey when you haven't. What troubles me sometimes is when you complete your qualifying questions, you are then invited to "click" to start the survey, you're 20 minutes in and the survey says, we are still trying to find you a survey - would you like to continue? Then I wonder, where did the one go which I already started? Hey ho!

I've got a worse one.  I rarely qualify for surveys so when I get to complete one...  Last Friday I completed one, it credited and all was good.  Then Monday I come back on and saw my balance was lower.  It seems they "denied" it on Sunday.     How can they get away with that?!  I did the work, I deserve the pay.

Happens to me every now and then.  Happened today.  Funny I don't qualify after they get all my opinions.
I think it is because you answered a question wrong.  They can kick you out when you don't answer the way they want you to.  They can manipulate the survey this way.  And get the results they want.

I had that happen on another site.  It said it was determined that I didn't answer the questions truthfully.
How the heck would they know what I eat and drink in my house?  That is what the survey was about.

Sometimes I notice if they ask for your personal information first like your age, race and how many in your household you usually don't qualify.  Thats just been my experience.

I've had that happen before. That's definitely very frustrating. I was just thinking of trying a survey too.

You know.. I have noticed during survey's the longer the survey the more likely you are not going to qualify at the end.. Odds are there are 100's of people doing the same survey and even if each person is going at a steady pace.. it's almost like winning the lottery.. There you have 1 in a million odds of getting it.. In the survey you have 1 in a million odds of getting it done before the quota is filled.. That is how i see it.. It's very frustrating as i can imagine spending all that time and not getting paid.. This is why some people rush through because the quotas sometimes fill up quick.. But it also could be because it's limited in the same demographics.. If they have 100 people of the same demographics what is the point besides seeing how each person is diffrent... In any case.. I still love the surveys. Sometimes the benifeits are even more rewarding.. Sorry about your survey tho.. That really is a bummer.. I do hate when it happens but sometimes bad things fall apart for better things to happen..

I remember when i was doing a survey for $2 i was so happy i had gotten as far as i did.. I was on the demographics at the end.. then i see sorry but unfortunetly you do not qualify.. I was not happy at this.. The same day.. I got a $5.00 and it went through...  and was much shorter than the $2 survey..I told myself then that that makes up for the $2 and the grief LOL.. Long story short.. SOmetimes it's better to have done a survey and be dqed than not doing a survey and wondering if it would have gone through or not... Because sometimes it can lead to a higher paying survey (:

It happens and can be so frustrating but I just keepon keeping on, no sense in sweating the small stuff !!

I have noticed that some surveys are not that great. I have done a few surveys where I got all the way to the end and I was told I was not qualified. I fond them to sometimes be a waste of time.

I like surveys most of the time, some days I just get really tired after doing so many, I have to take a break and say "not today" so I don't get burned out.

[gaylasue]

That's what I hate the most about the surveys.  It lets you practically complete the survey and then tells you that you do not qualify.  I think they get the information they are after and then terminates the survey so they don't have to pay out.

Just did a FC survey a little while ago that redirected me to yet another survey, which I qualified for, and which I completed.  After completion of this survey, I get a page that tells me the survey was either closed or I completed it already.  I got so aggravated, I sent in a support ticket.  Listen, if the survey was closed already, then the damned thing shouldn't be up there to begin with.  I KNOW I didn't complete a survey like this one ANYwhere.  It was about "American Culture."  There's probably nothing that FC can do about it, but my personal opinion is that FC needs to look in to SO MANY of these posts where people are complaining.  I wish that FC could provide the Survey Providers e-mail addresses so that WE can contact them directly about it.  Some pages, you will find a "contact," however, many of these survey providers never reply to your e-mails.  I seriously feel like we're being ripped off.  I'm not a happy camper today!
