I don't know what a "piggy back" survey is.  The automatically sending you to another survey in a common thing.  As soon as one ends and it just tries to shoot me in to another one I just X out.

I just now experienced a piggyback survey in which a University sponsored survey disqualified me, but looped me over to a survey called "Be Heard."  It was quite long and I answered every question, watching the progress bar as I moved through the survey.  Then it hit me after the last question with "you have already completed this survey."  I got absolutely nothing out of that -- and it was a Tap survey!  :'(

lol.  Yeah I have had that happen as well.  The only good thing is if it is TAP you can rate the survey and vent your frustrations.  Anytime I get a dq or I am shot in to another survey I just x out and don't waste my time.

The good old survey loop, it stinks!!!   I used to get caught up in these but now as soon as I notice, it is a survey loop or piggyback survey, I X out.    Don't think I ever qualified for a survey in one of those traps either.  Also you don't even get a DQ'd cent.       :turkey: :turkey: :turkey:

Yep, I exit those as soon as can be.  On to the next thing, is a good idea.

If they do that to me I always check if the time is longer if so I leave but if its shorter I take it.

I also dislike this very much! I would rather be disqualified once and try a completely different survey then answer the same 3 questions 6 times before finally being able to try a new survey. I have noticed this happening more and more lately. Yes, it gives more opportunity but I have never qualified for any when this happens.

It has been quite some time since I have qualified for a survey.  I will continue to try though.  At least I know that it is me and not everyone.  Keep hope alive.

It depends on whether or not I have enough time to spend on going through the loop.  I've actually found that process useful in the past.  There have been times when I needed just a little bit more cash to cash out and was willing to be rerouted to a new survey over and over again.  And I've actually turned up a survey that worked for me after being sent to several.  It was always rewarding to go through so many that rejected me, then to find one that paid!!!

I have also had the experience of being disqualified after a chain of attempts and received a 5 cent DQ award instead of the regular penny.

It doesn't give more opportunity. It is a way for them to not have to pay the DQ cents.
