I did the survey FC sent my email this month only to be kicked out 2 weeks later. Thats the last one of those I will do also. Surveys suck on a good day.

This happens to me often, that's why I try not to do surveys unless I seem to not be able to do anything else.

If yoursurveys routes you to different survey it's for the same pay as the original. It does say that on the screen that you'll receive the same payment. I guess people don't pay attention to that or they don't understand what it means.

I find that this exact situation has been happening more and more lately. It's like a new gimmick survey companies have figured out to get your to take surveys for next to no money. I try to complain about it at the end of every survey that offers you the opportunity to say something. Not that it does any good, but if we all start complaining, maybe something will be done about it.

It does happen from time to time.  Yes, it is a bummer but I can tell you what is worse; spending 30 minutes on a survey and then getting a DQ notice.  >:(

Always remember what the payment will be for any survey you attempt.  If you are working on Your Surveys the payment stays the same regardless of what survey you end up doing. 

As far as the time it takes, who knows?  Sometimes they are very quick and other times they are longer.

I have got stuck in those situations too... I just stopped doing surveys because they take way too long and most times I wouldn't even qualify.... I just stick to what's guaranteed! lol

I have had it happen a few times. But it does for the most part say you will receive the same amount.  I don't stay on the computer very long at a time, but  manage to snag a survey or two.  It all adds up at the end.  May or may not do vides and then my paid to click.  Have not been on the computer much this week but am heading for another cashout at the end of the month. Takes me a couple of months. But hayit  adds up.

Yeah it happens. I prefer to go to the actual sights that offer those. They pay more. Focus groups are the best way to go.

That can happen and I've experienced the same thing. However, that's not always the case. I attempted a FC survey once, didn't qualify, and was redirected to take another survey. Didn't know how much the second survey was worth. Ended up completing it and the pay was over $4. The original was worth about 75 cents, so it was a nice upgrade. Thirty minutes for 25 cents in my opinion doesn't seem worth it, so I definitely understand your frustration.

Yep, it has happened to me several times over the years. It's always nice though when it is one of the high paying surveys that disqualifies you and asks you to take another survey. I have had it go both ways.
