[mary33716]

 Don't feel bad i think it happen to a lot of us i can sit for 30-40 min than say i don't qualify it the stinks but i guess that how the ball rolls sometimes if you do it to fast i found out it will disquilfy you so be honest and take your time think about the question don't forget we are match up according to our profile that how we all get dif surveys

[rpse1927]

i have gotten several surveys and did them more than a half hour and told i was not quilify

[bholmes618]

I think it has happened to all of us at one point or another.

omg! that is the worst thing to happen. it sucks so much to have that happen. all that time and then only get a penny.

[Ronnis25]

I have it happen everyday and thats ok.  I just get frustrated when I do it for ten minutes and then is says sorry when I think i was accepted.  O well got to work to earn taht money.

[maverick12]

Happens all the @#$@% time to me ... just happened earlier today and I thought the survey had started with the questions they were asking  and then I get a you don't qualify !!!

[pattersondebra]

FusionCash is not like a restaurant; our paying customers aren't you members but rather the advertisers and survey providers.  Members like yourself are independent contractors, and you get paid rather than paying us (like you do with most businesses).

We work hard to balance the needs of our members (without whom there wouldn't be a site) and our advertisers (without whom we couldn't keep the lights on).  This means a number of compromises: we have to limit the amount of bonuses we issue (we don't earn anything from it being your birthday... not to mention that with 2.3 million members we'd be issuing approximately 6000 birthday bonuses per day on average... not to FURTHER mention that if there was a birthday bonus, people might tell their referrals to choose a fake birthdate which is coming up soon so that they can get an additional bonus [and an incentive to falsify information is bad]).

As for survey qualification, it's a complex issue:
1) Surveys are often routed through two or more survey systems, and they rarely share information: so you may have to "qualify" for a survey multiple times.
2) Surveys are typically targeted at one demographic "slice", for example "males in the midwest".  Once the quota of "males in the midwest" is full, you wont qualify anymore.  You may see other people being credited for the same survey, because they're in a different 'slice'.
3) Since your qualification depends on your demographics (which you can't control) different members have different experiences with surveys.  For some, who are among rarer demographics, they almost always click through, qualify and get credited.  For others, among more common demographics, they have more difficulties qualifying. 

To belabor the restaurant metaphor, a survey provider might "order" 200 survey completions from "males in the midwest".  If we delivered them "females in new york" instead, they'd rightfully be dissatisfied; like getting fish 'n chips when you ordered a steak.  This is why taking surveys can be frustrating, inconsistent work.  If there was a way to improve it, we would, but you can't really tell a multi-billion dollar multinational research firm that their survey platform "needs to be fixed"...

It is good to read how this business works. When I do a survey I am thinking is this one where my odds are 3%-4% to get to the end or 80%. Since I now think those are the kinds of odd I have to deal with. Well lets focus on what can be done and not on what can't.

  I don't know why I keep doing this still I am not getting anywhere. It Is pointless anymore, especially when you get 1/2 way thru the survey almost every one of them and then you don't qualify to me this is like  :bs:instead of a dime LOL

[penguinito]

I don't do the survey coz I never get qualified I do tasks and some offers tasks are really helpful and easy.. goodluck!

[vixster]

Most survey sites are like that. Sometimes it can take awhile to be allowed to complete one. Maybe try some of the other ways to earn for awhile. I've had the same thing happen. Don't get discouraged.

[Robbii]

I don't do a lot of surveys for this very reason.  10 minutes is about my limit for doing surveys, so I do like it when the estimated time is accurate.  It is most of the time, but one time I took a survey for 30 minutes that was supposed to last 12 minutes.  Sheesh!  And I don't take surveys that slowly.  lol

Did you know you can make money posting to this forum? Since FusionCash is a PTC site, don't think all you can do is surveys. Do a lot of other free offers as well and forum post (like at least one per day) and it all starts to add up. Plus read the forum post for ideas. If you need something that FusionCash offers consider purchasing it here. I made two purchases on FusionCash that I would have made without them and saved some money. Ask around a few friends who may need some gas money. I just got and email from a person wanting some help doing surveys, I will send her to my "test" blog. And thanks to the Twitter bonus two people commented about needing help. Just work FusionCash every day you can, become a leader, (brand yourself, down the line sometime) and things will start to happen.

Yes, it's happened to me - often it's sooner, though.  I hardly ever get accepted for a survey, so have basically stopped trying to do them.
