To heck with surveys

[sfreeman8]

Yesterday I did a survey on another site, got through all the questions and was at the end with the classification data when I was DQ'd (Your Surveys).

Today, I did a survey and probably got halfway through it when they DQ'd me. I also tried a 1 minute survey that, after qualifying, stated it would take 25 minutes!! I don't know the number but it was about news programs. I was answering the questions when all of a sudden, after 10 minutes, I was DQ'd!!!! YET I was thanked for doing it!     I just checked my account and I didn't even get the penny credit. Now I'm really disgusted.

This is ridiculous!!!!!   These survey companies are taking our data and when we get to a place in the survey that is important, they DQ'd you so they don't have to pay.  I refuse to go along with this underhanded way of these companies getting their information. I think from now on, I will only choose surveys I KNOW I'll be DQ'd from so I will at least make a penny.

It IS very discouraging to spend 20-30 minutes or more on a survey only to be disqualified when you least expect it.  I had about 3 like that yesterday, and today I just spent at least 20 minutes, probably longer answering many, many questions about a new product, got to the classification questions at the end, then was shocked to find I was getting disqualified.  I know that this happens and is part of the process.  If I'm going to take surveys, I have to put up with the down side!  On a more positive note, I have made nearly $2000 on this site participating in lots of surveys that actually did credit, so I'll try to remember that the next time it happens.

Persistence pays!  It took me a while to get my $.05 for tomorrow, but once I switched to TapResearch, I was more productive!

I totally agree.  I've had many times where the very first survey I attempted for the day was the only one I needed.  Then, of course, there have been other times where nothing wanted to work out.  I don't have any problems with that at all. 

I've never been one to gauge the success or failure of survey taking based on the experience of one day.  It has always been an overall time period. 

My numbers and earnings speak for themselves:  I have and continue to enjoy success of surveys.

I do tapsearch for the dq as it also counts toward my PTC and also LiveSample Daily Survey as I can try a few times til I get one but normally only have to try one or two to get one I qualify for and get one a day and most days get two (the daily limit)

its not for people who want a ton of money, just extra

You are not going to make lots of money with taking surveys.
I am sure this is happening to all survey takers here.
We have not control of this situation.

i was able to get one for $2.60 last week, sometimes they go your way and sometimes they don't

I have tried Tap research when I run out of surveys to do and like it because sometimes when you get DQ'd you get more than a penny. I got 6 cents the other day. I was maybe halfway through the survey and then got DQ'd but got .06. At least then compensate you for the time you spent. Too bad they run out so quickly.

I don't expect to make lots of money but it would be nice if I didn't spend time answering questions and THEN be DQ'd and not even get that penny. This is happening too often and it's a ripoff.

I don't even try Tap Research because I've never qualified for their surveys. I used to try them but after trying to do their surveys and being DQ'd over and over again, I chalk it up to wasting time, just like these surveys are doing now. It really isn't fair to get to the end of a survey and THEN be DQ'd.

Yesterday or the day before, I did two very long surveys on another site.  I finished and submitted only to get the "sorry". I did not even get a penny reward.

This is a problem that has gotten worse the last year or two. It is not a Fusion Cash problem. It is a problem with the survey sites.

My computer decided it had to update itself on startup this morning so I had no Fusion Cash time, so now trying to get my .05 and all my usual are gone.  So it has been a while but I was going to do Tap research, and I get a message saying "Sorry it looks like you are not located near your postal code. Please try again when you are closer to home"   WTH  I am sitting in the exact same spot I have done Fusion Cash since I have joined,  using the same internet connection (Charter).  How difficult does it have to be to get .05???  I tried a 3 min Your Survey answered 5 min worth of questions and was dq, useless penny.  I can't do Tap research because it thinks I am somewhere else...ugghh

[dwiley11]

its a long term deal, not just one  day

[bshee58]

Exactly how I feel, they make you do them and then DQ you, taking 30 to almost an hour and get they pull the plug (so to speak), and you get nothing.

I get disqualified a lot and just use the bonus to help me reach the required $25 minimum. I won't even attempt to do a 25 minute long survey.
