I have had the same problem with surveys and I can't put my finger on why someone would get chosen for one survey and not another since the only thing they are asking for is your opinion. I believe that they are looking for people who may have the same opinion that they are looking for. So that the surveys can be slanted in their favor. Out of 1000 people polled 950 people chose this product. I guess the product they want you to have a favorable opinion on is the product that they are selling.

True But the questions they ask you before you take the survey are all pretty much the same race job status etc.... its almost like if you dont say the right thing you wont get picked...

I think this is true for everyone! I only qualify for about 20 Percent of the surveys. I personally think it is because of my age and I am retired but, who knows!! I really don't think anyone qualifies for most of them.

This is the very reason I quit trying the surveys (except for the FC ones that pay .01 even if you are DQ'd).

I am older, with no kids at home and I think a lot of companies are looking for people in their 30's-40's with kids at home....  What really made me decide to stop is that I would be asked the same question 2 or 3 times and THEN get disqualified.  I understand wanting a certain demographic, but with technology as advance as it is, I don't understand why, when I put in my b-date (12/29/1954), 3 questions later, I'd be asked for my age.   Or when I'm asked my marital status (married) many people live in my house (2), the next question is how many children under 18 live in the house.  It isn't brain surgery.  If you are 57 & married and 2 people live in the house, why would there be ANY kids under 18 (are there really a lot of 57 year olds out there married to 16 year olds?). 

Anyway, to save myself the frustration, I just stopped trying.  I am still able to cash out each month, and I am happy.

You just have to keep trying even though its annoying and it never seems like it will work, you have to hang in there cause you will eventually qualify for something!! Good Luck!

I never qualify for any surveys. One reason is that i work in market research and that almost always kicks me out of taking a survey.

The clients or advertisers are looking for a certain profile. For me, my demographics are more often not what they are looking for. I am a lower income senior citizen who lives in an apartment. I do not own an automobile. I have no children or grandchildren. I am not what they want.  :crybaby2:

I attempt the Fusion Cash surveys that do pay me one cent for trying. I am usually DQ'd very fast so it does not take a up a lot of my time. There are other ways to earn on FC so I am very satisfied with what I do earn but I wish that some of the clients would want the opinion of lower income seniors. I am a consumer. I shop, eat and travel. I have a computer, iPad, cell phone and am bundled with my cable company. Maybe one day, there will be a survey just for seniors.  ;D

The only ting I can think of is with the way the economy has changed living arrangements, some older adults have had to allow their adult children and grandchildren to move back into their homes, or in some cases, grandparents may be raising their grandchildren in their homes currently. But then that should have changed your total # of people living in the house. They may realize that it is a force of habit to reply that there are only 2 people in the household because it is more automatic to think of just the adults? Who knows , I gave up on the surveys a long time ago as well for many of the same reasons as already pointed out in this thread, too much time and a high percentage of DQ's. Just not worth the frustration to me.

I think you most likely have hit the nail on the head. Many things in marketing are controlled and numbers can always be manipulated to say just about anything that you want them to say, look at Enron! It does seem unrealistic and a bit unfair though to not include more age groups and different demographics, as someone else pointed out, all of us have opinions and spend money it just seems a little short sighted on the part of the marketers to exclude so many from their data.

You need to fit the demographics the survey company is looking for.  You also need to be consistent in your answers.  The surveying companies are just as eager as you to get quality completed surveys.  It is frustrating, but part of the survey taking world.

I also have this problem quite a bit when I do surveys. I never really understand it because I have always assumed that surveys were taking from variety of people but it seems like all the surveys I try to qualify on FC is only looking for certain people and certain answers.

I can be on a survery for 30 min then be told you dont qualify. They just are not worth it to me. None of the fusion surveys qualified but I answered questions for 20 to 30 min on them for a penny. Questions not even related to what the survey was supposed to be about.
The surveys must be ways to get spies attached to your computer. :BangHead:

Post by: mom2taz on June 12, 2012, 09:27:38 pm
I find that I do not qualify for many surveys...once in a while i will hit one after I clear cookies / cache.  That doesn't always help....but I have read that a lot of people find that it does help them.

I have notice that many of the survey titles have absolutely nothing to do with what the survey is actually about....for example, today i had one for mobile phones...but when i clicked on it, it asked questions about high blood pressure, diabetes, and heartburn.....??? 

I also have learned that I cannot afford to spend "dedicated" time to attempting surveys....when I am sitting watching TV, or unwinding before bed I will sit with the laptop and try for some surveys ...while watching TV that is time I would not be accomplishing any thing else...so it's not really time wasted....but I am not taking time away from other things I should be doing.....if I dedicated hours of my day to attempting to qualify for surveys it could consume my entire day and I would get nothing else done.

I would just be patient. Just like mom2taz mentioned, she does them in her spare time, so it doesn't feel like time wasted. I pretty much do the same. When I first started surveys were great, but then for a couple months it seemed like I could never get qualified. But now, it has picked back up again and been great. So I would definitely keep trying from time to time.

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND what you are going through.  I have repeatedly attempted to complete surveys by putting in a ton of time, effort, and following the rules as fusion has described them to me; only to be directed to a "possible web threat" page in addition to not getting any credit from the company who the survey involved and the one cent fusion promised for any surveys that i attempted but did not complete.  What is going on here and how can i be compensated for all my time and hard effort.   :dontknow:

check back 2 or 3 times a week, consistantly and you will most likely qaulify for more surveys.   when i dont qaulify for several surveys in a row, i wait a few days and try it again and most times then i get one.   keep trying, and there are other ways to make money too, referrals, the dailies and cash tasks.  good luck :wave:

Post by: marcee30 on June 29, 2012, 12:56:27 pm
From what I have been told the surveys are based on demographics, and personal qualifications
what I don't understand is how can someone not qualify for the simple surveys
I have tried to do the ones about beauty products, online gaming, outdoor activities, personal finance ...etc, all the things I do and are aware of and I still don't qualify. I use beauty products, I play online games how can I not qualify
I don't know what type of quotas they are looking for and it does get depressing when you attempt so many and don't qualify especially the ones you know you should qualify for
Title: Re: I dont qualify for most surveys Why??
Post by: xyleaht on June 30, 2012, 08:00:41 pm
Because if it's based on demographics, then they only need a certain amount of people considered in whatever categories for the survey. If you fit in a certain criteria and their quota has already been filled, then there isn't much you can do about it, no matter what kind of survey it is.... I dont know if this will help, but I find myself qualifying more late at night, you could try it.

Post by: thtrngng on July 01, 2012, 09:32:22 am
I think that the surveys are geared to get the responses that they are looking for. Once you answer enough questions for them to determine if you are giving them most of the answers that they are looking for, more qualified you will be to take that particular survey.
Title: Re: I dont qualify for most surveys Why??
Post by: athomas226 on July 01, 2012, 08:56:26 pm
I think it has to deal with the amount of people who are alike or in the same areas taking the surveys and that they need to have a better mixture. Try doing them earlier in the a.m. It seems to work more then!

Of course they sort of gear it towards what they are looking for. They are looking for people in all sorts of categories that pertain to the subject of the survey. If you had a survey on beer and you put that you never drink it, then they will more than most likely disqualify you. It's a waste of their money to pay someone to take a survey on something that they know nothing about.

   :) The key to doing the surveys is..being consistent with them and having alot of patience...I always get credit doing them...theirs days i dont get qualified but i don't give up...Don't give up, keep at them everyday...you'll end up getting ur credit...Their r 9 surveys total...So do each one every single day, don't give up...and don't stop doing them...if u stop you won't get anywhere doing it that way...The KEY in getting ur credit is that u have to keep doing all of the surveys once a day...u have to wait 24 hrs until u can do them again...and if you keep that up...u will eventually get ur credit...Trust Me, i know...you'll c...i hope this helps everybody...Let me know when u start getting ur credit... :)... :peace: :peace: :peace:

The short answer is: demographics.  A survey-taker will be DQ'd if these are not within the parameters the survey provider seeks.

Of course, one could try claiming to be a 'caucasian asian who is African American and hispanic, male and female, between the ages of 0 and 99, income between $1 and $150,000 and are deeply interested in whatever this survey is about' ... that won't work though, which is the point of vetting demographically.
Title: Re: I dont qualify for most surveys Why??
Post by: marcee30 on July 08, 2012, 11:26:54 am
This is the very reason I quit trying the surveys (except for the FC ones that pay .01 even if you are DQ'd).

I am older, with no kids at home and I think a lot of companies are looking for people in their 30's-40's with kids at home....  What really made me decide to stop is that I would be asked the same question 2 or 3 times and THEN get disqualified.  I understand wanting a certain demographic, but with technology as advance as it is, I don't understand why, when I put in my b-date (12/29/1954), 3 questions later, I'd be asked for my age.   Or when I'm asked my marital status (married) many people live in my house (2), the next question is how many children under 18 live in the house.  It isn't brain surgery.  If you are 57 & married and 2 people live in the house, why would there be ANY kids under 18 (are there really a lot of 57 year olds out there married to 16 year olds?). 

Anyway, to save myself the frustration, I just stopped trying.  I am still able to cash out each month, and I am happy.

I totally agree with you on this the surveys can be annoying when you put in your info and they continue to ask the same questions!
Title: Re: I dont qualify for most surveys Why??
Post by: marcee30 on July 08, 2012, 11:32:51 am
True But the questions they ask you before you take the survey are all pretty much the same race job status etc.... its almost like if you dont say the right thing you wont get picked...
I agree! Even the simple surveys like the ones on beauty products, technology and shopping... etc, I don't understand why I don't qualify
my situation is a little different then most I'm 30, single, a student, unemployed, renting and my children live with there fathers during school months and with me in the summer. This does not mean I don't still use the fore mention products. This is why I stopped trying my criteria never seem to match any of them. I don't understand what does race, job status, married/single, age, and if you suffer from a specific illness etc has to do with the some of the simple surveys. But it's like you said if you don't say the right thing you wont get picked... but I will continue to be honest I just wont do the surveys

I suspect that many of you that are around my age (56) are probably disqualified for a lot because of our households.  I am single, with no kids at home.  Like many of you I suspect that they are looking at 30-40 year-olds with kids under 18.  But with the boomer generation being a huge demographic right now, I wonder, why is? that?  And the health questions are kinda lame, cause most people my age are still in relatively good health, so we get kicked out of those surveys too.  Oh well.  Just keep trying, and utilize all the tools at FC, and we will all still come out ahead.  :thumbsup:

I can be on a survery for 30 min then be told you dont qualify. They just are not worth it to me. None of the fusion surveys qualified but I answered questions for 20 to 30 min on them for a penny. Questions not even related to what the survey was supposed to be about.
The surveys must be ways to get spies attached to your computer. :BangHead:

I totally agree. Whether you qualify or not they should give you something ALL the time, it dosen't say you'll be spending 1/2 hr answering the same questions over and over to find out you dont qualify, this is not right!

Ys, right. Irrespective of whether the vendor has denied it, FC should pay the money at least 50% of the total so that they value people's time. If I am spending 15 min on a survey and surveys gets denied later which is so frustrating

Independent contractors, (survey takers), are not being paid for time spent; they are only paid for completed surveys.  FC doesn't get paid if the survey-taker doesn't get paid.  Why would FC pay 50% for an uncompleted survey and lose money on the incomplete transaction?

I have come to the conclusion that age and location disqualify a "surveyee"-- especially age.  My basis for this opinion is how quickly I am disqualified after those first few questions.  Companies should realize that seniors are also consumers and sometimes have more discretionary funds to funnel into their products.

Hey I was wondering why it so hard to qualify..

I think the key to qualify for surveys is to check FC a couple times a day for any new ones.  If the survey has already had a lot of people with similar age and background complete it then the quota will be full.  So if you see a survey take it as soon as you can.  I don't qualify for all the ones I try but I complete enough to make it worth my time. Best of luck to you.

Went to the local community college and spoke to my old Introduction to Business professor. He is a consultant and has a PhD in marketing. Wonderful guy and a great teacher, and very knowledgeable on marketing and business matters. He explained to me that many surveys are looking for information from as was repeated in the room certain demographic groups. There is no favoritism or only picking one age, race, sex or other demographic. The surveys are all geared to the researchers needs so they are random to the people trying to take them.

I do a few surveys when I sit down for a rest and to listen to some music. I no longer concern myself with if I am going to qualify for a survey. Since it is rest or down time no problem. Good to work my brain a little. And soon I will try to emulate oldbuddy and surf the net for money while I watch tv. Right now the computer and tv's are in different rooms. I don't even bring my portable digital tv in the computer room. But I will try to bring life to my Dell laptop by installing Browser Linux the ways he said he did.

Don't keep wishing for what you don't want JusTash83, because if it was so easy that everyone qualified for every survey they would not need us. So don't wish for what you don't want, because then it would not be an opportunity.

My issue is that even if I don't qualify fr the surveys, half the time they make me take "pre-screening" questions for upwards of 20 minutes before telling me I'm not eligible! If this site could filter out the surveys that do that or at least do some of the pre-screening automatically it would be a much better use of my time. I just filled out a video game survey as a 20 year old female that owns numerous franchises that they asked about and plays hours and hours a week. I was perfect for that. So they asked me about my gaming habits for 18 minutes and then said I don't qualify? Maybe because they already got what they needed from me in the pre-screening!

I'm to hear that and trust me you are not the only one. Surveys are looking for certain demographics. Some demographics are more in demand than others. Also they may fill up their survey quota while you are in the midst of taking a survey.

This is the very reason I quit trying the surveys (except for the FC ones that pay .01 even if you are DQ'd).

I am older, with no kids at home and I think a lot of companies are looking for people in their 30's-40's with kids at home....  What really made me decide to stop is that I would be asked the same question 2 or 3 times and THEN get disqualified.  I understand wanting a certain demographic, but with technology as advance as it is, I don't understand why, when I put in my b-date (12/29/1954), 3 questions later, I'd be asked for my age.   Or when I'm asked my marital status (married) many people live in my house (2), the next question is how many children under 18 live in the house.  It isn't brain surgery.  If you are 57 & married and 2 people live in the house, why would there be ANY kids under 18 (are there really a lot of 57 year olds out there married to 16 year olds?). 

Anyway, to save myself the frustration, I just stopped trying.  I am still able to cash out each month, and I am happy.

I am impressed that you are able to cashout every month without the surveys --- HOW?????

Just need to be persistent. Try all of the daily surveys until they run out of surveys and check them at different times during the day. Some days I get almost nothing and other times I can complete 5+.  :cat:

I can be on a survery for 30 min then be told you dont qualify. They just are not worth it to me. None of the fusion surveys qualified but I answered questions for 20 to 30 min on them for a penny. Questions not even related to what the survey was supposed to be about.
The surveys must be ways to get spies attached to your computer. :BangHead:
:thumbsup:i agree not only do i not qualify for the survey but it slows down my computor with malware and spyware and the service i pay is getting frustrated with me because the shell ware is crashing their systems. i try to go to the restore point everyday

I am in that 30-40 age bracket and I rarely qualify for any of the surveys. It's hard to understand what I am doing wrong that disqualifies me as well. But as long as I am getting at least the 1 cent, I don't really care as much anymore. As long as I am getting something for my time and effort.

Friends,

There is nothing you are doing wrong when you don't qualify for a survey, it's called a con job! Survey sites just want your info but apparently don't want to pay for your time and effort. Recently I completed two surveys and after I was done the "You don't qualify" message came up, boy was I mad! I just hope this doesn't keep happening but it happens often enough that's for sure. Hopefully survey offers like Simplicious will fold up, they are the biggest waste of time there is!

I use to wonder the same thing and then i realized that if my basic information do not match the criteria of the people giving the survey i would not be able to participate. They target a specific group who meet their standards and use them to take their survey so that they could get the results that they want.

I don't qualify for most surveys I attempt ,and I don't think anyone else does,either.It's not your fault.The survey companies are looking for specific groups of people to take each survey,such as a certain age,gender,zip code,etc.I have noticed,however,that the more I take these surveys,the more I qualify for.Keep trying.Sooner or later you will find surveys that fit your profile.

I can relate to the 'not qualifiying' things, very frustrating to get the boot after a LONG time spent in the thing already. grrrrr

Then there is the even more frustrating 'survey failure' or the thing just goes away and you can do nothing about it. Anyone else have this happen? It happens to me often enough that I think that sometimes it is intentional, you know, the info they really want is already been obtained and they just quit the thing to avoid paying off... :)

Yeah, I am probably paranoid about this but was wondering if this is a common event for others as well... ?

I also have the same problem and can relate to most all your posts listed here, I'm a married 45 yr old male with no kids but I answer their questions with pure honesty and still get disqualified. Guess I'm not what they want a survey from but then again I think I help with getting the boot because when they ask how much you make yearly I always mark Prefer not to say. I don't think it's anyone's business how much I make. If I made a lot of money I wouldn't need FusionCash for help making me get by. To be honest after paying the bills and gas for the car I'm broke as a joke.

Fusion Cash has no control over who qualifies for a survey! FC is basically an agent to bring you and the actual survey company together. This is no secret and it is very obvious just by looking at the headers on those clickable links to get to them, THOSE are the culprits that do the evil to bounce you out of qualifiying!! They are to ones that we need to be angry with. Some of them are so bad I just don't try them any longer.

Now, FC CAN control who they associate with as far as those that making offers on their sight. I don't want to cause problems by saying you should complain to FC. I think a better option would be to have a thread dedicated to this topic where members here could vent their frustrations and gripes about whoever is offending. I should think that FC would monitor such a thread and take appropriate steps with those that are abusing THEIR members. I am sure FC realizes that no one is served by having bad player in the arena!

Just thoughts on the topic...

Don't give up. If you give up you won't earn from surveys. The only thing you can do is keep trying. There are some days I get disqualify from a lot of surveys. But don't worry, you are not the only person, it happens to me and many other people. For Samplious Daily surveys, I almost never qualify for a survey. Sometimes it takes me several days for me to qualify for a survey from Samplious Daily survey.

Don't lose heart and don't EVER give up - no one is going to qualify for ALL surveys, and SOME are going to qualify for more than others, simply due to demographics, i.e., age, children, job, income, etc... - hang in there, you will be glad you did - because you will qualify and you will get nice earnings too, so be sure to keep checking the tab for "FCSurveys" and try everyone that you see - I miss a lot of surveys, too, but I also make up for it by qualifying others throughout month... persistence is key and does pay nicely...  Many Happy Earnings to ALL!   :wave:

I barely qualify for any of the surveys. So don't bother to even look/take them. They ask you to be honest with your answers and when you do, they give you a 10-15 minutes personal infos/questionnaires and then the actual survey or a new window saying you don't qualify..or after 10 minutes of answering it stops and tells you any qualify..its annoying n a way. I think if they actually give you the surveys that you qualify for...just my opinion...
