Thanks for nothing
« on: July 07, 2017, 11:20:21 am »
I was not sure about it until it happened to me personally. I completed a survey for 20 minutes, did my demographics and was disqualified. I am sure its not FCs fault but they should be aware of what these companies are doing to these survey takers >:(

It has happened to me more than one time and not just on Fusion Cash. I agree that it is not Fusion Cash's fault but a problem with the survey or the survey company. This happened to me yesterday or the day before on another site. I completed a really long survey, got the demos, got the submit and received a response that I did not qualify for the survey after  had completed the survey and got the submit.

I just moved on to something else.

That's why I never bother with long surveys. I usually cap my time limit at 15 minutes, but usually try for surveys under 10. Too much can go wrong when you're spending that much time on  a survey, it could "fill" or your demographics could be over-represented in twenty minutes, who knows how many sites they're featuring this survey on at once?!

That is exactly what I do as well. I will never spend more than 15 minutes on a survey because of the high risk of a disqualification right at the end.

That happens sometimes and I know it's frustrating. We think we'll get credit and then boom disqualified. You win some you lose some.

I think that happens to all if us at one time or another.  Last week I did 2 and the final page said sorry....you don't meet the qualifactions and you are disqualified.  It's frustrating!

I don't get, but at the same time I do get, the logic behind the demographics questions coming last. They're getting a ton of free information for their study without paying for it.  :bad:

Unless I'm bored, or they're SaySoForGood (which has made a reappearance and are always good for numerous instant DQ pennies a day) I don't bother with surveys anymore. I rarely qualify and waste a lot of time. That goes for any site I'm on, not just FC.

I've done enough surveys I can usually spot the ones that will do that and do the ones that regularly qualify and credit for me so it's not a big issue for me... I do the LiveSample survey everyday with no trouble and mix a few others in to see if I can make more.... just be patient and find the ones that work most often for you

Usually, when the demographic questions come last, that means I qualified for the survey! I hate answering the same questions at the start over and over again, only to get disqualified after answering all the demographic questions. But when they wait until the end, most of the time I get full credit.

Personally, I think that all surveys should have demographics first so that you are disqualified sooner if you are not the type of person they want (for any reason). I think that would save everyone time, including the survey companies.

I stopped doing the surveys a long time ago for that very reason. If I ever feel like it I may try again but as soon as I put in my info I'm usually DQ'ed. I like doing the videos more so I'm not too bothered by it anymore.
