Piggyback Surveys Are a Pain
« on: November 12, 2019, 10:04:10 am »
I just tried a survey but since i didn't qualify, another one popped up, and another one, and another one, up to 6 surveys to try to qualify for under the first survey. What was the reward for that? Nothing. Didn't even get the 1 cent for DQ'g on the first one. I hate those and try to avoid them at all costs but was sure I'd qualify for the home and finance one (#3 piggyback). It's ridiculous!   >:( >:( >:(

Oh I don't like them either. They take too long and more than half the time you do not get anything for them.

I have seen these piggy back surveys before too. However, if I do not qualify for the first one, I usually just leave the survey because I do not necessarily trust that I will end up getting a reward, even if I qualify for a subsequent survey.

I agree, I generally just leave, you have to go through so much and then may still be disqualified or if you do several of the piggyback ones they pay so little and you have spent so much time on them! :(

I don't care for those surveys at all. I just close them out and find another one because you will end up going forever.

Any survey that pays too little incentive, I just ignore them. It is not worth my time.

I have no idea why surveys keep going from one to another like that sometimes. I try to cancel out of them as soon as I see it starting to do that.

The name sounds vaguely familiar.  I may have come across one or two.  I know what you mean about being re-routed to other surveys when you don't qualify for the original. 

Sometimes I wonder whether to 'x' out of the maze or stay onboard in hopes of at least getting a dq bonus within a reasonable amount of time.  It's hard to tell sometimes.

Another member describes the situation as the survey loop.

Like everyone else, I hate when I get into the survey loop and it goes on and on and on. Just give me a sorry or my penny and let me move on.

I just close the tab and if it was Tap Research I have an Auto Hot Key response set up for the next page that pops up and asks what happened, " I don't like being passed off ".

I normally just exit out because i'm not gaining anything. Just wasting time.

Agree with others just close it out and move on.  Usually not worth the time to qualify as you normally never do

I feel the same.  At first, I would keep trying, now when I get the "trying to find a new survey", I just exit.  Not worth getting myself all worked up.  There is legit survey money out there, and I try to keep my eye on that!
