For Pete's Sake!
« on: May 10, 2015, 03:21:22 pm »

I just did a Peanut Lab survey and it took me over ten minutes.

Then it said, congratulations, you just earned one penny!!! :(

That's what they give you for disqualifying you. It should have been 35cents. What's the deal?  :confused1:

You have to watch that.  Not all of them pay 35 cents.

Unfortunately, that can happen when taking a survey and not just on FC but all the sites. You can spend a long time on a survey just to get one penny or sometimes not even that. I have found that the qualifying questions can sometimes take over 5 minutes.

Surveys can be a hit or a miss. I still love taking surveys and continue to attempt them but they can be time consuming.

Lately, I leave the survey alone.

The most frustrating part is that they do it so late in the survey and don't say why.  And you have no recourse or opportunity to object.  You're virtually helpless.

It certainly turns me off surveys.  They should be able to screen in a minute or 2.  They should also be transparent about screening questions vs actual survey but  that just my 1/2 cents!

If you had taken it from another site the man in the box would have credited you. I did that and got 6 cents for a half hour once and they went back and credited me 60c for a peanut and they never pay that much. this sight here has no man in the box to help you get your worth.

Ugghh!  That sounds way to frustrating and time consuming.  I love FusionCash for the quick pennies; I don't do surveys because of that kind of disqualification.....too time consuming for me;  I am earning $1K+ on eBay so that is where I spend my time.

I think that is so frustrating and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Those things are the reason why I have to take breaks from doing surveys at different points of time. It is a good thing that it only took you about 10 mins though, I've gotten stuck doing way more for less.

That is the nature of the 'survey beast' unfortunately.  It is not uncommon.  Anyone who does survey sites on a regular basis is bound to run into that road block from time to time. 

If you can regard it as normal like I have and just keep plugging away with as many surveys as you can comfortable handle, you are very likely to see good results from your efforts. 

Pretty soon, those annoying issues will fad away as you begin to see your survey cash growing.
