Yup that happens a lot. Title of survey not even close to subject. Time estimates are questionable at times.

I've noticed that several times over the months I've been on FC but figured "oh well whatever" and would just be glad I got to take a survey regardless of the subject matter.  Being older with no children in my home doesn't get me approved for too many surveys.  lol

You're not doing anything wrong.  If you don't qualify for a survey, you are sometimes redirected to another survey which has the same reward.  It may or may not have anything to do with the survey link you clicked.  Once you realize you've been redirected it's up to you whether you want to continue or not (no penalty for closing out).

It sure beats being told you don't qualify again, and again, and again......

I get that alot, but if I qualify, I am going to grab on to that one. So many times I get disqualified. I wish that I could qualify all the time, but don't we all. :dontknow:

They look for specific profiles for the surveys. I usually don't do the surveys.

Every survey panel uses disqualifying questions which will default you from their surveys. They may ask you questions about having kids because they want their survey takers to be single with no kids...follow?

I remember reading somewhere that if you do not qualify for the survey, they will try to qualify you for other surveys. But you will still get the same dollar amount that you were quoted in the beginning.

I know what you mean but I do not fully understand why. I believe that it has to do with the survey company. Some of these survey companies have hundreds of surveys available and they are trying to connect the survey with respondent. The subject given may be just one of many examples of surveys available but when you begin the survey, it might be that you are not eligible for the one you clicked on to and the computer / company is trying to find you another. At least, this is what I am thinking. Maybe the administrator will jump in with a better explanation.   :wave:

Not wanting to sound rude but did you file a support ticket on it. And even more importantly where did you find a 10 dollar survey I've never seen one for that. If It was an offer where you bought something then you're not always going to be paid. That's why you'll see many places on here don't complete an offer just for the money, make sure it's something you actually want. Good luck in the future.

I didn't think about that, thanks.  I tried to take the Casual Dining FC Survey and they asked about my health and profession.  I thought "What's this got to do with eating out?!" Then I see they probably want a certain group with certain ailments and occupations.  Oh well.

I'll tell ya what's worse.  Just got 2 emails from FC telling me that they revoked payment on 2 FC surveys.  One from a week ago and one from around a month ago.  That's just plain wrong...but oh well.  Nothing I can do about that.  Just take it on the chin I guess

I think it is because FC Surveys go by your profile so, If you click on the one survey for beer and your profile says you are not a beer drinker then it goes to another survey that more matches your Profile. This is just a guess but, it happens to me also. The time that the surveys estimate have always been questionable. I have metioned that to the administration of FC in th past.

I have been doing this for a little while and every survey that has been over $5 has other parts associated with it. To get your money you have to do the second portion of the survey, whatever that may be. Are you sure it was for $10? I have not seen that one.

I don't attempt surveys very much anymore.  As someone said, you must have certain demographics to qualify.  My age and no children at home disqualify me from most, I think.
