I empathize completely. I had no luck with any daily surveys yesterday, even after spending 45 minutes completing a very long one successfully and receiving no credit for my time. However, this morning I had better luck and have already received credit for these two:

TicketsForOpinions - 08/09/2011    2011-08-09    $0.50    Approved
SurveyHead - 08/09/2011    2011-08-09    $0.65    Approved

These were both surveys with videos of various commercials to watch and evaluate. Each took about 15-20 minutes to complete and I kept the congrats screen open for at least 5 minutes, which is recommended. I plan to go back later today and attempt all 5 of the other dailies again. That does actually work sometimes because the sponsors do vary the surveys later in the day occasionally. Be sure to clear your cookies and your history before you start on these.

The only other suggestion I have is to exhaust all your chances. Never say 'No thanks' if given the option to continue with another survey. I've also had success with hitting on a survey I am actually able to complete and get credited for. Doing all these things has improved my success ratio markedly and as a result my cash out will be much higher than normal this month. I do believe that FC is doing all they can to work with the sponsors and eliminate temporary glitches which can prevent us from receiving our proper crediting. My advice is to hang in there and stick with it!  :thumbsup:

I don't why I'm not getting credit for Tickets for Opinions.  I have no problems with any other surveys and yet I've finished this survey about 5 times and received the "Congratulations, you have been rewarded with 50 cents by FC for your time" bs. :bs:  I've left the page up until the page expires after 15-20 minutes and still no credit.  I guess my opinions aren't worth tickets or cash, despite what they have told me.  I feel very duped and will not do this survey again until the staff at FC can figure out what is going on. :dontknow:

I am just as frustrated as you about not qualifying for surveys. I like mysurvey.com, because for each survey, even if you don't qualify, you get at least 5 points. For other survey panels, when you are not qualified, you get nothing at all for even trying!  :BangHead:

I still prefer FusionCash for daily surveys because, when you do qualify and get approved, you get cash toward your $15 in offers. Maybe it's just me , but I like cash money better than points.  ;D

I know that the surveys can be difficult all the way around sometimes/ almost all the time. Yesterday I was here for 7 hours most of that time just trying to qualify into a survey. I was able to get only 3, but at least I was able to keep keep from losing my mind.

next time it happens, do a screen capture and fill out a support ticket. chances are if you arent getting credit, neither is FC.  they may be able to help you

I just finished Surveyhead and MyTwoCents and did not receive any credit. This site is 5 years old. Why do these problem still happen? It baffles me. How hard is it for someone to finish a survey and have it credit? 

For the last month every single time I try to do the global market survey I get this message. "Thanks for your interest, a survey isn't currently available." Tonight I tried to take it in a different browser and WOW it actually let me take a survey. I spent 15 minutes giving answers about tires when I clicked next and what do you know...I get "Thanks for your interest, a survey isn't currently available."

I just spent 45 minutes taking 3 surveys and got nothing out of it. It's bad enough I'm wasting close to an hour of my time for only $1.75 but when I do it and get nothing out of it is very discouraging.

 :crybaby2: My most reliable SSI survey let me complete a survey personal info and all and  instead what should have been the completion page, it gave me an error page. All the surveys have issues and also all of my info for free.

I feel the same way...you answer all the questions, only to find out that demographically, you don't qualify. why not ask that first huh???

There are a lot of factors which contribute to this, which I've covered in many other posts.  But the bottom line is that FC only earns money when YOU earn money... it's in our best interest for you to get credited, since that means we can charge the advertiser for your signup.  If there was something we could do to increase the crediting rate, believe me, we would have done it already.  The process of giving you credit -- technically speaking -- is carried out entirely outside of our control.  All we do is report to you the credits which we've been issued.  Is it ideal?  Far from it.  But the survey companies are writing the checks, and you can earn money at home in your pajamas at 2am, so they get to do pretty much whatever they want.  FC does not send enough traffic to the daily survey companies to have any 'weight' to throw around.  So we have two options:  run the daily surveys and deal with them, or don't run them at all.  I think you'll agree that SOME potential money is better than NO potential money.

Most definitely.  Wasnt trying to whine, just let out the proverbial screaming release. lol.  I'm sure there will be many more that dont get credit over time, but as I said in my first posting, it's free money so I can live with it :)

Thanks for the response and a little "behind the scenes" inter-workings on how the surveys credit. I am quite aware of all the tweeks and factors to help insure credit but sometimes they just plain and simple don't work or credit.  As much as it is discouraging you are surely correct "that SOME potential money is better than NO potential money."

It just feels good to *bleep* about it from time to time.  :-
