So wrong of them!!!!!
« on: April 17, 2018, 10:00:15 am »
Took a survey and I assumed all was going well. Answered all questions correctly. Took about 15 minutes. After answering the last question I was given DQ and 1 cent. I do not know why because they were direct questions and I gave direct answers. Some of these surveys are so unfair! Feel better now that I vented.

I don't have much luck with surveys so don't try them much.

This happens to me at least a few times a week. I hate it but I guess it is part of the process.

I'm glad you feel better after venting.  Sometimes that's all it takes.   I've found that when this happens, and it does happen to all of us that do survey sites, it's best not to let it upset you too much and move on.  Getting upset only hurts you.  But venting is one of the great things about this board.   Hope you have better luck with your next survey.

Been there, done that, got the DQ penny - sometimes I didn't even get that.  It's a bummer, that's for sure.  :(

It's really annoying when you spend all that time, get to the final page and find out that the quota is full.  It would be nice if we could somehow be 'grandfathered in' to a survey once we begin to take it.  That way we get a fair opportunity to complete it without getting booted out for circumstances beyond out control.  ::)

Yes,  I've gotten that too.  If you do a survey too slowly then it's likely to be "quota full" at the end.  But if you do it too fast they DQ you for going too fast. ::) ::) ::) You can't win LOL.

Nothing you can do about it.  I have contacted support several times about this and was told that perhaps I just needed to concentrate on other parts of the site.  So nothing will ever be done.  They just decide they don't want to pay you and they still use your answers.  A lot of times if the survey is say for Comcast Cable and you will never purchase from them. You can complete the survey and at the end when you have said you will never use their services they don't pay you.  So basically they want you to lie not tell the truth.

I know.  This really makes me mad.  They should not let more people start the survey than can finish it.  The quota should be say if it's 150 people then no more than 150 people can begin the survey.

Just happened to me.  85 questions.  And the last one it says sorry you don't qualify to take this survey and I get a penny for almost 30 minutes.

Crazy how the surveys disqualify someone.

That is why I can't do too many a day. It is so laborious for a few cents....if they go through.

Being 75, there are not a whole lot that I can take. I have a few sites I trust to have a legit chance to finish.

But they wear me out, and I am currently taking a survey-break to rest my brain a bit.

I had one of those surveys today. I had well over 60 questions answered, demographics were on the last page, and I was disqualified. So annoying, it happens so much, I try to not let it bother me.

I don't have a lot of luck with surveys.  Once in a great while I will qualify for one, but most of the time all I get is the one cent.
