Surveys that Don't Credit
« on: April 04, 2016, 09:02:05 am »
Well, just took a Peanuts survey that took about 20-25 minutes and told me I was nearing the end and when I did, suddenly told me I didn't meet the qualifications and gave me a whole cent!  The topic was batteries and lightbulbs through a site called Parthenon, I believe it was called.  Let me know what your experience is if you take this survey!!!!!

Now, this is not the entire problem!  The problem is that since the first of the year, both on Fusion and another site I use, this has been happening regularly.  Like once every 6 or 7 surveys that I initially qualify for rather than the maybe 15-16 it used to be!  Way too regularly.  I don't have time for this waste of my time.

Fusion, if you can do anything about this, I think you need to talk to these companies and/or do something technically to track!  I am about to see if there are any places where I can register a complaint against survey companies that do this regularly.

I hear ya!  The pay for a lot of the surveys have gone way down.  They want to give you a quarter for a 30 minute survey, LOL, RIGHT!  I agree with you that there ought to be a way to track these surveys from the companies because too many people are having this problem.  These companies get their answers, then either dump you or don't pay you.  That's just not right.

Just happened again...same day.  This was the survey which has all the commercials that you review.  I had already reviewed four different ads and was on the fifth when the page just suddenly closed and said it was not a match!  What is up with this?  I am not only getting frustrated, but a bit disgusted with this whole survey process.

I refuse to do surveys anymore for that reason and than after reading how many they later come back and say your answers were no good and pull the payment later (I have only had that happen twice on videos, flyers for .02 ea).  I know that's were the money is at but not if they kick you out at the end.  I just stick to videos and whatever new offers come along

Same here. I have had ads and survey credits revoked before, so I do not do surveys much here anymore. I do them on other sites, where that does not happen as much as on here.

I have had similar problems with surveys on Fusion Cash as well as other sites.  This does not just happen on FC. It's really a bummer when it happens especially when the survey is long. Fortunately, it does not happen too often and in most cases, when I qualify for a survey, I get credit. However, in the last couple of months, I had a survey payment revoked three times on FC. Other members have reported an increase in payment revocations the last several months.

I have been with FC for many years now. Until the last couple of months, I had three survey payments revoked total over a period of years and one time, it turned out to be a mistake so something is going on with the survey companies.

I have also noticed that surveys are paying less and this is on all my sites.

In saying all the above, I still enjoy taking surveys and continue to attempt even the low paying surveys.
