filling out a Survey only finding out at the end it , it was not the survey but a prerequisite to see if I qualified for the Survey.

That's a long time to determine you've been DQ'd.

Almost as bad as getting through the entire survey and click to the final page to discover that, because of technical problem, the survey house was unable to accept your responses. 

Bummer either way. 

The next one will be better, I hope.

Frustrating is right.. A few times I have to get up and leave my screen I get so angry.. Now I have started taking 2 surveys at once believe it or not. Surveys from GlobalTest Market and also Ipoll are notoriously bad for me and the minute I see them sponsoring a survey? I beat them to the DQ : )

In fact- A while back I was a member of global test market, had $20 build up from surveys taken and I got so angry with them I told them to can the account? and keep my $20.. and believe me- $20 is a lot of cash to me these days.. but they talk about integrity... well...

I'm a member of globaltestmarket and have been able to cashout with at least $50 around every month and a half since I joined in 2012. I've never had any problems with being credited or getting paid

Perhaps I should have given global more time- I only had an account there for 2 months.. Truth is, initially I went crazy and was a member of nearly 50 sites.. Now? I have reduced that to about 1/8th and only use the best of the best- Fushion Cash obviously being one of them.. The payout on the surveys here far greater- A big tipoff on a site is how they play 'games' with the way your rewarded.. For example- why does global test market (or others) just say 75 cents? why does it have to be 45 global points or 10 coins or whatever other silly game they play? to me that just translates to trickery- pull out your calculator and figure it out because your not making as much : )

I easily do a .75 survey on fushion that takes only 15 minutes opposed to global test market where I get bounced on most, or the average takes about 45 minutes if I push as hard as I can only to get .45?   You can have them all to yourself : ) : )

In all fairness- alot of the surveys do come down to what they are targeting.. Im single and boring.. If I had a house, married and kids? Im sure id find things completely different..

I'm a single 24 year old unemployed college student with no children and I qualify for plenty of surveys. I have no problem with a point system as long as it stays consistent. Global is 1000 points=$50. That's $0.05 a point and the lowest surveys tend to be 35 points which is $1.75

But you really just have to find the site that works best for you. I'm a broke college student so I'm on multiple sites to be able to earn enough to support my shopping habit

I have problems with the surveys too.  One day I was unable to qualify for 6 surveys.  No one cared about my opinion. I felt like a big friggin' loser.  I went into a deep depression and had to be hospitalized at a mental care facility.  My husband divorced me and I lost my job.    Well, okay. I overstated it. I was disturbed for a few seconds, then went on living the good life.

Surveys are a hit or a miss. I have said that many times, even to myself. I have spent a lot of time answering the qualifying questions to a survey only to find out that I do not qualify. But, I have never spent 45 minutes trying to qualify. I do not have that much patience or that much time.

But I have spent a lot of time on a survey only to be told that i was over quota or did not qualify. Even worse, were the few times that I completed a survey only to have a glitch on the last page or two. And that was that! I never got credit.

Yeah this was the second survey I have taken in over 5 years now.

I forgot how dang tedious they are !!  :-\

 I have moved onto more profitable ventures.  But do not get me wrong I still love FC. I usually cash out at the end of 6 months and do some CC offers to hit that $15 threshold.

No CC offers appealed to me for the first time so Iam doing a few surveys.

One of the reasons I don't do surveys anymore. I would just stick to the 20 minute ones if you plan on doing them again.

Imagine doing a 20min survey for $1 only to have it removed from your account a week after... We've all been burned by surveys companies at some point.
I suggest finding one that works for you. Try aiming for the lower paying surveys and build up your experience/understanding of what advertisers are looking for in order to earn more.
It worked for me!
