everyday is different for me.  but for the most part i have a lot of luck at them.  i make most of my money each month from doing surveys.  they must want white married females, age 32 from the south.  i don't know.  i find that they like a lot of different things.  each survey, they are looking for someone different.  i make about $45 a month from surveys.

It goes in waves for me, I've had days i've been credited for 4 or 5 surveys and other times I've went 4 or 5 days without qualifying for one. I just keep trying.

No, I am not saying that! What I am saying is that if there is a problem with the survey that is NOT the survey takers fault then you can contact the administrator of the survey and they will compensate you for it if there was a problem. However I have reported errors where I invested my time in surveys that I was qualified for that didn't go through for whatever reason and the response from so called "support" was careless they might as well have said, "Oh Well Too Bad..." I also will say that the "other" site pre-qualifies survey takers in a reasonable amount of time not 45 minutes.
The survey that I was taking I was qualified for it however by the time I reached the end of the survey all of a sudden they have enough people and I don't get compensated. That is not good business, they should set an amount from whatever demographic they need and only accept that many on the basis of the pre-qualification not wait til someone wastes their time taking a survey that they were told they were qualified for only for them to realize that they don't need your input after all. I appreciate fusion cash for what it is I'm just saying that there is a more efficient way to handle business.




Hey they don't want married young black females either. Make it so bad I just spent 45 minutes on a stupid FC survey and then they say that they have reached the number of people like me that they need and they think a FREAKING PENNY can accommodate over an hour of my time total?

Survey criteria varies from survey to survey, demographic quotas can fill while taking a survey, (since others take surveys too).

What a Joke im going back to amazon where the real money is and where you can report problems with surveys and still get paid if you completed where they ACTUALLY CARE  about their workers. I wouldn't recommend FC to ANYONE!!

If one completes a survey here, one gets compensated.  Are you suggesting that another site pays the full amount offered for an incomplete survey from which you were disqualified simply because "they actually care", (apparently, about paying people for 'time' invested, rather than for completed surveys)?

What I am saying is that if there is a problem with the survey that is NOT the survey takers fault then you can contact the administrator of the survey and they will compensate you for it if there was a problem.

If you are you referring to technical errors pertaining to the survey itself, FC support has compensated survey takers for such, (and very recently too, as a matter of fact).

However I have reported errors where I invested my time in surveys that I was qualified for that didn't go through for whatever reason and the response from so called "support" was careless they might as well have said, "Oh Well Too Bad..."

That's because your blithe " ... for whatever reason isn't even close to a sufficiently validated 'reason', (such as rushing through, conflicting responses, demographic segment filling during the process of taking a survey, etc.).  You can't just 'claim' it wasn't something you did/didn't do, nor can you expect to be compensated for your "time" since that's not the basis of payment.  Survey-takers and FC get compensated for completed surveys.

I also will say that the "other" site pre-qualifies survey takers in a reasonable amount of time not 45 minutes.

FC contracts to survey providers and in such instances, has no direct control over pre-qualifying/qualifying questions within any given survey.  There are some general/basic demographic prequalifers pertaining to the FC surveys for general screening purposes however, these are just that - prequalifying questions.  After vetting survey-takers with those, there are often more specific qualifying questions before the actual survey begins.  No screening/pre-qualifying or vetting/qualifying demographic questions require 45 minutes to complete unless the survey-taker is exceptionally-slow.  Most surveys pre-qualify & qualify within less than 15 minutes, (however, some will tack qualifying questions on at the end of a survey to confirm accuracy of previously-asked questions).

The survey that I was taking I was qualified for it however by the time I reached the end of the survey all of a sudden they have enough people and I don't get compensated.

Yes, doubtless that has happened to nearly every survey-taker before. Demographic seqment quotas fill during a surey because you're not the only one taking surveys.

That is not good business, they should set an amount from whatever demographic they need and only accept that many on the basis of the pre-qualification not wait til someone wastes their time taking a survey that they were told they were qualified for only for them to realize that they don't need your input after all.

Most survey-providers do just that - in the qualifying phase, (which is why you got to proceed past qualifying and begin taking the survey itself).
If however, your demographic segment quota fills while you're taking the survey, there's no way to pre-screen for that, (although further survey-takers will be prescreened-out of that particular demographic segment once the quota has been reached). There's no way to know in advance that any particular demographic segment will fill during the process of taking a survey.  That would constitute requiring the survey-designers to be precognitive.

It's always the same old surveys and very rarely get approved. They either don't want the white people or married in their fifties. Or you actually do a survey for over 5 mins then get the good ole "SORRY you don't qualify" message after answering many detailed questions.   :dontknow:  :fish:
I cannot for the life of me qualify for the Samplicious (spelling maybe wrong) ??? surveys.  I just clicked on a grocery survey, I'm a 48 yr. old female...I'm not what they are looking for  :dontknow:Don't we all have to go grocery shopping  ::) I know the minute that site survey comes up I'm done no matter what  :bs:  I'll keep trying though...maybe one day  ;)

I have the same problem that many times I don't qualify and it is a bit frustrating, however I try to focus on the guaranteed payments for videos, forum, daily emails, and using the fusion search engine.

I keep hoping FC will get some new surveys but its always the same ones that no one can qualify for, yet they continue which shows that only FC is making money and not anyone who is trying to earn money.  You can't qualify anymore-so what is the point is continuing to try.

I agree, every day is different. Not quite sure about the demographics, I live in the middle of no-man's land so I think that might be why I don't qualify for a lot of 'em, but the FC surveys credit here for me better than anywhere else. And, it makes a big difference at the end of the month! :)
