WHATS the most FRUSTRATING things with SURVEYS?
« on: September 03, 2018, 11:12:07 pm »
I honestly say the most frustrating thing with surveys would be, the time it takes to complete each and every one of them.
And sometimes you put in a good 30 mins of your time to only get a few cents back.
But eventually they will all stack up in your favor! ;) :)

Getting disqualified from surveys is the most frustrating for me.

Taking too long to get disqualified for me, I prefer it to happen within 5 seconds so I can get on the the next one.

Taking to long to disqualify me! I can accept that I don't meet demographics or the quotas for participants has been meet; whatever the reason I get frustrated if I go all the way through and then get disqualified at the end; since some of them are lengthy, I appreciate the DQ bonus for not qualifying, just prefer to have at the beginning instead of the end.

When it's not enough to get the Paid to Click, the 25 videos you have to watch to just get 1 cent.

I agree.  Those videos with 25 pages (and you must wait on them to load) are too long for a mere penny.  However, they often have interesting subjects.  At least I can say that much for them after all the time it takes to finish one.

I understand the time commitment for certain surveys, but for me, it is literally getting to the end of a survey only to receive a disqualification notice. It has happened to me a few times over the last couple of weeks.

For me, the most frustrating thing about surveys is completing one, getting a thank you and please submit only to get a message telling me that I do not qualify or I am over quota. This is after I have completed the entire survey and got a congratulations or a thank you. Other times, I have completed and submitted but never got credit.

I am on several sites and this has happened to me on all my sites.

You have to spend so much time on here just making a few pennies. And yet I do it every day.

That's pretty frustrating. But I enjoy it when I cash out.

Is it worth it? Jury is still out on that one.

Going through the survey and they say the quota has been filled.

I can say that the most frustrating thing is getting "banned" from taking them. I have been on FC for 10 years and about a month ago I went from having tons of surveys available to having none. 4-5 days after having no surveys I sent in a support ticket. I just this week was told I was banned from surveys but was not given a reason, but it could be anything. I'm guessing it's "going too fast" - although that seems unfair for someone who reads quickly.

So even though I was never dishonest, I cannot take them anymore. Worst part is losing out on all those DQ pennies.

(Prior to that - I would have said having credit revoked a month or two later, although I'd gladly take that over not being allowed to take them at all.....)

Everything you guys have said is definitely truly.  But what I have found frustrating is the trend lately where many of them barely pay a penny a minute.  And we know the minutes listed are often misleading.  I clicked on a 6 minute survey that stated it would pay 15 cents.  It became a 20 minute stated tinme survey that took forever and still only paid the 15 cents.
