Happens all the time for me. I can't recall when I last got to do a survey and get paid for it.

That's exactly how I feel when I tried completing one of the surveys, it's more like a false ptomisses

While you are frustrated, I take it that we do not qualify, especially when you grow older.  I have opinions about things I would love to give; however, I have discovered that, since I am 54, my opinion is not valued as it was when I was 46.  I have done a few surveys and actually qualified, which shocked me.  It depends on what they are offering. :thumbsup: :wave: :wave: :wave:

when you start doing surveys for a living you have to get used to rejections.  i do around 100-150 surveys a day as it is my primary source of income as a stay at home mom.  i only qualify for around half of them but the ones i do qualify for end up adding up to around 450 a month.

Sounds like you can't see the forest for the trees. If you get too close all you see is the one tree in front of your nose. But if you step back far enough, you can enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.

For me it's about persistency. Sometimes I quality for surveys and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'm in the middle of doing a survey in which I'm confident I'll be compensated at the end only to be told my quota group was full. Irritating, but it happens. Once you've been doing surveys for a while, you kind of get a feel for how the surveys work. At least with the FC surveys, if you don't quality you get a penny for trying. You can either keep going with the surveys, or if they become frustrating, focus on all the other daily free offers.

Ditto. I know that feeling.  I'm frustrated also to find that half-way through a survey, I find that I do not qualify.  By the time I get half-way through the survey, the company my information that it can use without paying me.

I think we all feel  that way part of the time. I mostly look at it as you win some lose some. It is partly my fault as i am not on it enough to try all survey. But the ones i do get i like. I have enough going on in my life too let this frustrate me. I may be 70 years old and have been through a lot of hard times and we oldies do have a lot of opinions but the younger generation have a whole to learn. Glad in a way that i am not having to go through what they will have too.

Oh my goodness that's a lot of surveys! when im working my plan I try to qualify for between 10 and 20 a day. some work and some don't
I hate to say it but I am secretly glad when I get disqualified for one of those 40 minute ones. too long

OP keep your head up and just keep trying!

I would keep moving right along. Don't worry just do the ones that are more of a sure thing.

I get frustrated sometimes too but I'll never say that FC seems like a scam. I understand what you are saying because nobody have time to go through the motion of getting anything then at the end be told no you can't have it. It is just that I don't want anyone to get worked up by not qualifying for a survey. Just try another later.

I usually do the surveys after waiting a couple of weeks, just because I seem to qualify better when I am not constantly trying to take them. It just works betterfor me that way, you should try it. I do it that way with all of my paid sites.
