Quota already filled

[jinxman7575]

How do I avoid  surveys that the quota has already been filled,I did a survey and tworads the end of it,i was told that the quota was already filled,I figure I wont git payed for it,will I?

It's not unusual for the quota to get filled.    While you are taking the survey there may be many others taking the same survey.  There isn't anyway to avoid it, it just happens.  Once the quota is filled it's filled and the survey ends.  No, you won't get paid for it unless you completed it.

It's the dread of taking surveys... Usually they will tell you they met their quota early on... but every once in awhile, they decide to collect all the information and tell you they met their quota at the end. That pisses me off. They should have a quota "met" that screens you out faster.

[jinxman7575]

Yea they should,Or make it to where when they git their numbers,you cant use the survey,also running into ,not fitting the survey qualifications,its a little disapointing

This has proved to be aggravating, no doubt about it.  I don't know how difficult it would be to program the survey in such a way that it detects its quota number being reached while surveys are still in progress.  I took programming classes for fun after I earned my bachelor's degree.  While I didn't choose that as my career direction {my career chose me} I can't begin to tell you how glad I was to have taken those courses.

However, each survey provider has their own way of doing things.  The more you do the surveys the more likely you'll detect the differences.  Case in point, is the Qualtrics survey I took today that DQ'd me after I completed this very long survey.  Yes, I growled, not just because I lost the credit for my time but because I really want my answers to count on this topic involving current events following the Nov. 8 election.

Since it DQ'd me ("Quota Exceeded" was not the screen used) I know they have my answers.  At least I am assuming that.  But, Qualtrics is one of those companies that offers FusionCash members a Long DQ bonus.  I AM glad they do this.  If it were a case of quota filled (you ought to get a message as the survey progresses ... and some surveys do {opinionetwork comes to mind}), but this 'old-but-updated' standard survey being used may be written using a "DQ" screen at the end {instead of "Quota Exceeded"), even if you are one of the qualified participants of the demographic.  This may sound confusing, but my point is I wanted my answers to count more than I actually wanted the survey payment -- on this particular survey.     

Bottom line is I am pleased to be doing Qualtrics surveys overall.  Check 'em out on the internet (from Wikipedia):     In 2016, Qualtrics was ranked #12 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.

Probably not I really don't like when that happens

[Angiesw]

That happens quite often.  I wish there was a way to know the quota was filled.  Too bad they dont take the surveys down right away when they get the quota.

[danmo783]

They should have their computers actively screening, so you are screened out within 2-3 minutes. I'd be satisfied then. That much time is understandable.

[nadinastarr]

There is no way to tell other than to just keep trying. I have usually hit quota filled by about the 2nd page of adding my info like age and such.

[ivyparkgirl]

I hate quota filled in surveys.

[berthabutt]

That's a very good question.  I myself and many others would love the answer.

I have no idea HOW or IF you can avoid these type surveys.  Usually, but not always, I get the message pretty early in the survey and collect a 1 cent DQ.  Is it aggravating beyond belief to provide a lot of time, attention and information to a survey provider which then tells you the quota has been reached?  You bet!  But there's no union and there seems to be no moral or ethical standard which states something like, "If a survey-taker has completed 51% or more of a survey, then the survey administrator/product/service must provide a certain percentage/amount of the overall survey incentive." It would be great if they cared about that since they seem to be very concerned that we provide time, attention, honesty, and critical thinking for these surveys.  But there seems to be no quid pro quo!

[rwhite17]

I think everyone who does surveys has had this happen... some more than others... it hasn't happened that often with me... not sure if there is anything the survey companies can do about avoiding it... I don't know if they know how many are taking the surveys at once til they are completed

[minioncookies]

Simple answer you can't avoid that message from coming up surveys are only there for a certain amount of time til they actually run out. If you get them you get them if you don't don't get discouraged just move on to the next one. At least half of the surveys if you catch them on time will phase out or even more depends on how long the surveys been up and how many sites are hosting it. so if you see a survey just jump on it and gl
