The most annoying from FC
« on: November 26, 2019, 05:28:11 am »
I know a few people have said this but the last few days it seems I have successfully completed surveys and this is what they give me.

Quota Exceeded  with a 5 cents dq bonus. Come on FC. You need some better survey companies if they are gonna use us to complete what they want to know and then dq us >:(

It is not just a Fusion Cash problem.  I have had this happen to me many many times on several different sites. It is the sponsor of the survey, not FC.

I have set limits on taking surveys because of this. I will not attempt a survey that is longer than 20 minutes except for TAP. I always note the client / sponsor of the survey that appears in the address line. If I get burned 3X by the same client, I never ever attempt another survey with that particular client.

I do not get to attempt many surveys but I still continue to get burned. Still I choose to try surveys because I still have more successes than failures. . They are a hit or miss.

I have certainly had my share of experiences with the quota exceeded message. I notice it happens more frequently with FC surveys as opposed to other routers. For me, I usually attempt surveys with time estimates of 10 or fewer minutes, regardless of the router.

I have never noticed anything in the address line telling WHO is behind the survey.  I know some when they pop up it says who it is.  Survey Cube I just immediately X out because EVERY TIME on the last screen when I submit it says "opps something went wrong" and I do not get paid.

Quota exceeded is frustrating, I agree, but if I get DQ cents or points, it makes it a bit more tolerable. And yes, I agree, it's not FC's fault, it is the original survey maker that decides that. There are many survey sites that are affiliates for those sites, so quota can be filled quickly. It is what it is, it's the chance we take when doing surveys!

I found this frustrating as well, so now I only do TapResearch surveys.  They state a lower payment per minute figure up front, but if they are going to DQ you it usually happens pretty quick and often pays more that the standard penny.

It is extremely annoying when you go through an entire survey only to be told you are DQ. Shouldn't happen.

FC doesn't host surveys but the sites that do usually are in the url or usually say it on the survey themself before you even do the survey. Say like sampalicious, mythoughtscount or Tap Research you will know there surveys just by looking at the name. They will say their name in the url your taken to as well. Companies pay research sites to host their surveys and only give a certain amount of money for each survey . Once that quota has been reached no matter if your in said survey or not it will phase out after the quotas bee filled regardless

I groan every time I see that the survey is from Samplicio. They don't like me at all. In 9 years, I've only qualified for one of their surveys, but I still try, especially on Tap because if I don't qualify, I usually get that little 1 cent.

I had these before. It really gets under your skin when this happens. There has to be a better way.  :turkey:

Merry Christmas!   Happier New Year!

I've said this already, but these late disquals gives the vendors a freebie!  We pay of course in time and effort to complete the survey with a degree of honesty necessary but in the long run they get the freebie and we get a .01 penny disqual… maybe.. if we are lucky and the router doesn't pick it up and route us to another survey.

It can be a bit frustrating at times doing the surveys, but sometimes they are okay.

Seems like I have seen this. A lot of times I see it on the screen before the survey loads. Not in the address bar at the top.
