Do you want to know?
« on: May 19, 2018, 07:22:09 pm »
Sometimes I wonder what demographic a survey is looking for when I am disqualified for it. Maybe it would be nice to know why you were disqualified.

There have been many instances where I knew just when I was about to be DQ'd.  Right after the question asking if I have this disease or if I own a timeshare. 

I really like taking surveys but I must say that it would be very nice if there was some way of speeding up the dq process.  In other words, let the survey taker know within about 5 questions whether he/she can qualify to complete the questionnaire. 

I know, I'm probably asking way too much.

I get irritated when you answer all the questions and it really looks like you have completed the survey, get a thank you for completing the survey and opps...quota exceeded....but...I just completed the whole thing so they really got the survey anyway.. :-\

I think that it was yesterday when I completed and submitted two surveys on a different site only to get a "sorry, but ...." They were both long surveys and I was very unhappy with this situation.

I understand getting disqualified after only a few questions but it is when the questions go on and on and you get disqualified or over quota after many questions taking a long time that I have a problem. I am aware that my demos are not the most attractive to survey sites.

I believe that Fusion Cash gives you more money for a situation like the above. I wish that my other sites did.

It's no fun when disqualified from a survey. I sure would like to know what are they looking for is it certain age group, or they reach the limit.

I think it's great of FC to give a larger compensation, when you have spent a lot of time on a survey and still get disqualified.  It helps take the sting out of the situation.  That has happened several times for me.  It's when you get bumped at the end of a long survey, and get no compensation at all that frustration sets in.  I had a long one last night, and at the end was required to answer a question with a video from my webcam.  I managed to finish the video, and upload it with an upload button but then the screen went black and I didn't have a clue if I had done it right.  I never got my reward, so guess I didn't do it correctly.  I'll go with "practice makes perfect" and get it right next time!

I know FC wants compensation for your time as well. It would be nice if they could use their influence to require all surveyors to qualify/disqualify in the first 10 questions. If survey takers had a site with more consistent standards, they would take more surveys. Then FC could use those participation numbers to draw more quality surveys. A win-win for all.

It's funny but I was thinking I'll probably be DQ'd on these surveys as the older I get.

Meh. I don't give it much thought. Just move on to the next one.
