Alan: Please understand that we are completely independent of what surveys are given, or the qualifications for each survey.
brenda: From your site all we get i a hopeless entry in a drawing. I belong to alot of forums and people are getting fed up. You spend your time to get nothing. It use to pay to do surveys more and more it is like a waste of time.
brendamc: I understand that it if you could pass the word along. people arent even tasking the time to do the surveys anymore. They have better ways to spend their time.
brenda: If companies want an actual opinion they better change the way they do surveys.

From the limited information contained in the specious rant below, you're complaining that your demographics rarely qualify you for surveys and you blame the survey providers, (who are the ones paying and deciding what demographic slices they are paying for).  This is not a reasonable position and therefore, is an irrational one.  The simple solution for the impatiently illogical is to cease attempting surveys.

Until the past few months  I never had a problem with surveys. They used to be higher paying to. I wasnt just voicing for myself but others as well. I belong to a bunch of different forums and I stated what others have told me. I still belong to some that do pay. I try to shun from the ones that dont just like the ptc sites, focus groups etc. I wasnt trying to offend anyone.

This forum applies mainly to FC and not other sites, the previous remarks related to inboxdollars specifically and to survey demographic criteria generally.

I was talking about surveys in general

It sounds as if your complaint isn't just regarding being disqualified from the surveys, but more that it takes 10 - 15 minutes before being informed you are disqualified.

The question I have to you is, are you being disqualified 10-15 minutes after working a single survey, or is it that you are taking 10-15 minutes of survey qualifications before you run our of potential surveys to qualify for?  This is a big distinction.

Several of the surveys, like the ones on FC Daily page - will route you through qualifier after qualifier until either they run out of available surveys for you to qualify for or you finally qualify for a survey.  I've worked these enough to know when I'm being bounced from one qualifier to the next.  But there are times where it can take quite a while to run through all of them - assuming you don't qualify for any.  If this sounds like what you are seeing - one means I've used to reduce frustration is a "three strike" rule - I try to snag a survey within the first 3 qualifier chances, then abandon the site for the next one.  Makes it go faster.  If I have nothing better to do, I sometime will run through whatever they've got until I get the "no surveys available" message.

If it's that you qualified for a survey, and completed most, if not all of the survey, then when you expect to see the "congratulations", but instead get a "you were disqualified" - I have had this happen to me, but rarely.  Maybe this happens to me a few times a year.  When it's a really long survey - greater than 20 minutes - I'll send a support ticket to whatever GPT site I was taking the survey on, list the survey number, and ask them to investigate why I was not credited after completing the survey.  Sometimes it's due to a glitch in the system that it didn't credit.  Sometimes it's just rotten timing that the survey was near its quota and I just happened to submit the survey just after it closed.  If I do get credit for the survey - I take it as a bonus, but this scenario happens rarely to me.

Maybe this information will help you navigate the surveys on these GPT sites better so you are less frustrated with them.

I understand what you are saying.  I try not to even attempt a survey unless I know that I will get an incentive for the attemp even if I don't qualify for the survey.  I have also contacted sites that I get through the survey and don't get credit for it.  I am also told mainly that it can't be helped or something to that effect.

Even if they tell the companies it won't do any good. They are getting what their clients are paying them to get.

I used to do inboxdollars I didn't like it just my opinion.

I'm sorry, but the survey providers don't pay you, the website you found the link on is because they're being paid way more than you are.

I didn't state that survey-takers were paid directly by survey providers. This depends upon how one looks at it; the survey providers pay FC, who pay the survey-takers, (a shade less).  The survey-providers are paid by advertisers, advertisers obtain income from consumers.  Consumers obtain income from jobs/investments/other income streams.

The experience is no different than what other members here have voiced about doing a survey for an extended period and then eventually "disqualifying." This could be due to technical errors, demographics, fill of quota, etc. Sometimes I periodically think there is a conspiracy going on, but about complaining this to the host membership site will usually accomplish very little as there are a lot of participants who will continue to do surveys even if you choose not to partipate yourself.
