Really ?

Those drive me insane!

I had this happen to me a few minutes ago.  I had one of those surveys where they give you a question and ask you to answer it with a couple of sentences or more.  I was digging into that question, and writing probably more than necessary, then found that the quota had been exceeded.  If I hadn't been so long winded (long imaginative?) I might have been one of the folks who finished the survey under the limit!!!  That's what I get for being a perfectionist!

It's kinda like playing one of those video games where you have to leap up and hop over spikey obstacles that will kill you when you're least expecting it.  You are navigating your way through a series of surveys, just trying to earn enough cents to perform a cash out, and next thing you know, you get the dreaded notification that THIS particular survey is NOT going to help, even though you've devoted several minutes to it already!  Oh well, reboot and start again.  You might leap over that magical rock that propels you into a high paying series of questions that feeds your account with the pennies you deserve!

Very clever analogy Patty, I got a kick out of that.

I'm happy I put a kick in your day!

If enough other people finished the survey before you did, the company collecting the data is not going to pay more than they budgeted for the research. It sucks, but it happens.

 Sorry about that. It has happened to me several times  and seems to be happening more and more. I wish they could put something in place to prevent it from happening

You got to take what they give you.

I am not blaming FC for this one but I was into this for about 10 minutes

 Quota Exceeded
We're very sorry, but the survey provider has indicated that they filled their quota for responses. This can happen at any point, including at the end of the survey, since your quota group may have been filled while you were in the process of answering.

You should be getting a 1¢ DQ Bonus shortly, if it isn't already credited.

 Even worse try a 60 minute survey and this happens!!! This happens on all survey sites!  If I had just a $1.00 for all my wasted time trying to complete surveys I think I would have a mini fortune seriously!

Those drive me insane!

Did you have far to drive? Ba-dum-dum. 

Don't take that personally. It's an old joke. I would never knowingly insult a newbie.

Just gotta roll with it.

Haha oh wow I never really thought of Survey Taking as a Video Game before , lol maybe I can get other people to do them if I describe it that way.  I know a few people that are so addicted to those games they might just give it a shot!
