World of CAPTCHAs, that is. I have cashed out for last month, meaning I will be paid in October. I have decided to write a log of my attempts to solve CAPTCHAs for RL, Paid Clicks, and Daily Cash emails. If I continue having problems, I will quit at the end of October after I am paid for my August Cashout. I don't expect to get the $3 forum bonus, because this log will probably not qualify. Continuing to try to work with this is just too stressful.
Day 1: 1 RL (could not guess anymore), 2 videos
Could not solve 2 cent DLE, tried several times
No FC surveys available
-
sorry to hear.
-
Just keep refreshing them until you get one that's crystal clear. I like the drop-down question types; wish there were more of those.
-
Queenofnines - I don't think you understand. When you are getting the hard CAPTCHAs, refreshing does not help. I just keep getting the same type. If I were getting the ones like you get, I wouldn't have any problem.
-
The Radio Loyalty Captcha's I receive are normally pretty clear. Sometimes you are required to click on the link that indicates "click to reveal the security code" and the Captcha appears, you enter the code hit submit and you're done. Other times you may need to enter a Captcha exactly as it is written including spaces, hit submit and you're done. For me I haven't had a need to guess any Captcha's. On a rare occasion I might have a drop down list with different choices but as I indicated this is very rare. Hope this helps. :peace:
-
Stick with it. They do pay there are not too many sites that pay.You only need 30 posts to qualify. I always post a little more but of course my old man tells me that I am to opiniated. Good luck to ya, :thumbsup: :wave:

Agree that that captcha (and others like it) are impossible to read. I had a batch like that for a while. I just kept refreshing the captcha until I got something that I thought I could "read". Half the time, I was wrong, but occasionally a readable one came on.
Eventually, the impossible ones became ones I could read. I think it took a couple of hours (didn't count how many refreshes). But I also sent in a support ticket with a plea to have captchas that could be read (as well as put it on the Forum).
My theory is that the captchas are in a cycle and eventually the impossible ones will run their course. Might be wrong -- but give it a chance.
-
Day 2 - 1 Radio Loyalty with regular CAPTCHA. Those afterward were impossible to read.
2 Videos listed - Jim Beam - kept giving me an error message, same as yesterday.
Ugly Truth - message said I had already completed this one, same as yesterday.
Daily Click Email - Kept getting error, try again message, same as yesterday. (even after the Restaurant Rover page came up)
Total - 3 points yesterday, 1 today.
-
Today hasn't been a good one for me either,,,, no surveys,,,, only a few video's,,, the "CAPTCHA'S" I just keep refreshing till I can make one out lol So I have been playing the radio all day to get some pennies :)
Will try some tasks tomorrow,,,, may it be a better day :) :) :)
-
Sometimes, the captcha's are just tooooo hard to read. I have refreshed 10x before I get one that I can read!
-
My experience is great. I just cashed my last check for $55.00.
-
Hang in there loulizlee...
-
Ive had no trouble in my experience with captchas... maybe its the kind of internet ur using like firefox or internet explorer? idk
-
The only advice I can give as I said before: Don't refresh too often.I used to refresh just to get a short Captcha and I'd get punished with 50,000 unreadables.If you can get back to the normal ones,don't refresh more than once or twice and you should be fine.At least that's my experience. :dontknow:
-
Day 3: After much hair-pulling, I got 1 cent from RL. None of the videos worked, kept giving error messages. For the DCE, I restarted about 3 times, letting some time pass between tries, and finally got the 2 cents. Then, lo and behold, I tried an FC survey and got all the way through, for 75 cents. Then I tried the Paid to Click and, refreshing about a dozen times, I got the 15 cents. Total for today - 94 cents. Maybe this will work. I will keep trying this month.
-
we have to try don't give up
-
I have vision problems and have problems seeing the captcha phrases.
-
Don't give up... they're not so bad right now.
-
I don't have a problem at all with the RL capchas.
-
You could always try the audio version if you're having that much trouble reading it
-
The capthca are usually clear don't think I spelled that right i'll bet that word is not even in the dictionary only we knows what it means. don't like when you do the radio thing and you put it in correctly and it says not right ,then you have to put in another capatha -whatever that one always goes.
-
Quitters never win and winners never quit :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:
-
Thanks for the encouragement, comments, and tips. About the audio puzzles, they are worse than the videos. Have you ever tried them? Also, referring to the last comment, I know you are using levity as encouragement, but quitters sometimes get to retain their sanity. HOWEVER, believe it or not, I did not have very much trouble getting the PTCs today. I only had to refresh about six times or so. So today I made 24 cents.
-
Some of them can be difficult for me also, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be when I was younger.
-
It is a cruel world! Do not give up...keep trying!
-
I feel your pain! I was going to give up too.....still considering! They've made it much harder to do anything!
-
i know what you mean my computor people tell me in the next year or so microsoft will stop supporting anything under 8 so i will no longer be able to use my computors already got burn on ce but for now i getting as much as i can out of them i am only getting 2 capcha per hour instead of the six half the time it wont let me enter in the code but i enjoy the music
-
I don't do those, sometimes as you age your sight is now what is once was :BangHead: Just keep trying different things, you can make money. I know it is frustrating when you don't qualify for any surveys and there are no videos but try the paid to call or tasks, or if you are planning on buying something online, try the shopping mall first, Good luck, and don't give up.
-
loulizlee, I couldn't read the one you posted either. Good luck with your journaling of this problem. :thumbsup:
-
I understand, I hate those crazy captchas also, only I don't ever see those on fusion cash.
Maybe we do different type offers, I don't know. But yes, it is extremely frustrating. :BangHead:
Also on a better note, I should say that yes this forum does count for the $3.00 bonus!
I get it every month. Hope you decide to stay, good luck! :)
-
Louzilee, please don't go. Stick it out. I consider you a friend, and it will be like losing one of my friends on FC. I understand it is hard, but it will get easier. You'll see. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:
-
msmoneybags48, Thank you for that sweet message.
-
Day 5: 3 cents for Radio Loyalty, 5 cents for videos, 2 cents for Daily Cash Email, and 15 cents for Paid to Click, for a total of 25 cents. I tried for more RL but had to give up. However, I may be getting a little better at reading the captchas. I had to laugh when I came across two that had two separate puzzles, back to back. Apparently you were supposed to look at them as they flashed back and forth and figure them out as one puzzle. It's hard enough to read one, let alone two flashing, one after the other. I have 20-20 vision but use glasses for reading. I don't know how much longer, though.
-
i have bad days where i think about quitting....then i have a good day...... :thumbsup:
-
sorry to hear you're having a bad experience. i do not have issues with FC for the most part. You should consider opening up a support ticket to see if FC can help you in anyway.
-
it can be tedious, but i just keep refreshing and sometimes i have given up myself, but i won't let it make me quit
-
Hello, Beautiful World. I haven't had overwhelming problems with catchas. I do as suggested where I click for a new captcha if I'm unable to clearly read the current one. I don't really even guess. I recognize that I'm blessed in all aspects of life and I consciously use the Universal Law of Attract to attract beautiful people, places, things and experiences.
I can only advise that you hang in there and choose to see the bright side of things because if you don't.....
you'll most likely experience a lot of frustration with other things in your life, as well. :heart:
-
Day 6: 4 cents from Radio Loyalty; 1 cent from videos; and 15 cents from PTC. Have not been able to get the Daily Cash Email for 2 cents. Total for today - 20 cents. I have been trying, off and on, for two hours to get enough from RL, videos, and then PTC. I may try again later for the DCE. Sometimes it will help to start all over again. Waste of time.
-
Keep trying and focus on the wins, not the failures. :thumbsup:
I've never had problems with the captchas. Hopefully it'll get easier for you. :peace:
-
Day 7: 1 cent in Videos (2 1/2 cents); 3 in Radio Loyalty. Total 4 cents. I spent all afternoon, off and on, trying to get readable captchas for DCE and Radio Loyalty. I finally gave up.
-
:-\ Well it can be tiresome I get that feeling time to time on other sites I've been using for a year or so now.. if anything I would just take a break after your next cash out.
-
I get them a lot too, and just keep refreshing it til I find one I can at least guess at what it is. I hope it starts to clear up for you!
-
I'm sorry to hear you're having those problems. Stress is no fun.
-
You have to look at them and study them carefully. Sometimes the letters are not the same colors or they are outlined in the color that the other letters are in.
-
Hang in there dont give up!
-
The only problem I have been having with RL captchas is some of them say this is not a valid link.
-
Day 8: 10 cents in videos (good video day); Radio Loyalty - 1 cent. Could not get DCE or 15 cents Daily Click. Very disappointed.
-
Day 9: Great video day! 21 cents in videos; 3 cents in Radio Loyalty; 2 cents in Daily Cash Email; and 15 cents in Paid to Click. I also finished 2-75 cent FC surveys. Great day! I may have to rethink.
-
I must be fortunate because I haven't had many problems. If I can't read it, I just ask for a new one.
-
Day 10: Good video day again. 10 cents; Radio Loyalty, 4 cents; Daily Cash Email, 2 cents. Total: 16 cents. I was not able to get the 15 cents Paid to Click, even after starting over again three times.
-
Day 11: Total - 33 cents. Another great video day - 14 cents; DCE - 2 cents; PTC - 15 cents; RL - 2 cents. Not as much trouble with captchas, but I did stop after 2 Radio Loyalty because the captchas were so bad.
-
THEY HAD GOTTEN KINDA CRAZY FOR A MIN BUT NOW MINE IS BACK TO NORMAL :star: :star: :star: :star:
-
Don't get discouraged. I have noticed a few glitches since they changed the website to the new look. But everything seems to be working out fine.
-
What's with the goodbye cruel world for? :dontknow:
-
The "Goodbye, Cruel World" was tongue in cheek. If you will notice, I said Goodbye, Cruel World and then started the first post with "World of CAPTCHAs, that is." You are probably much too young to remember the song "Goodbye, Cruel World" that came out in 1961, sung by James Darren. I think it has been recorded by several people since then.
-
Day 12: Total 32 cents. Pretty easy day with several videos. 15 cents for Paid to Click; 2 cents for Daily Cash Email; 5 cents for Radio Loyalty; and 10 cents for videos.
-
Day 13: It is amazing that, after these many weeks and months, the CAPTCHAs I am getting has returned to the readable ones, either the "click for the answer" or simply codes that can be understood. Today I have gotten the 2 cent Daily Cash Email, the 15 cent Paid to Click, 2 cents for FC Disqualifications, 6 cent Radio Loyalty, and 6 cents in videos. Total - 31 cents. No stress!
-
Yeah the captcha is a pain in the butt
-
Take a break for a bit and then try again. it is worth it when functioning properly
-
Day 14: Well, I may have regular captchas back! This was a GOOD day. FC Survey - 1.00; Paid to Click 15 cents; Radio Loyalty, 7 cents; videos 3 cents; and Daily Cash Email 2 cents. Total 1.27. If it keeps up this way, I will definitely stay. Thanks for all the encouragement.
-
Day 15: Well, it's about half-way through the month, and things seem to be improving. (Crossing my fingers) I got all good captchas today. What a relief! 2 cents for DCE, 15 cents for PTC, 3 cents for Radio Loyalty, and 7 cents for videos. Total - 27 cents.
-
Day 16: Good day. 15 cents for Paid to Click, 2 cents for Daily Cash Email, 12 cents for videos, 1 cent for RC Survey disqualification, and 1 cent for Radio Loyalty. Total - 31 cents.
-

I've been really behind in the forum and only just saw your thread. That's frustrating what you were dealing with. I'm glad that it seems to be doing much better for you, and hope it doesn't get worse again. :)
-
Thank you so much. I am glad, too, that it is getting better. It is unbelievably frustrating when you do everything you are supposed to do to get the "reward," and then you have to try countless times to get anything and then sometimes have to eventually give up. On a personal note, I hope you are feeling better. Take care.
-
Day 17: Good day again. 15 cents in Paid to Click; 12 cents in Radio Loyalty; 2 cents in Daily Cash Emails; and 9 cents in videos. Total - 38 cents.

Day 1: 1 RL (could not guess anymore), 2 videos
Could not solve 2 cent DLE, tried several times
No FC surveys available
I wouldn't think this frustrating post would not qualify. lol. I know sometimes they are hard to read. Actually impossible to read. So far I have not had many problems on this site with them.
-
Day 18: No FC Surveys. Paid to Click - 15 cents; Daily Cash Email - 2 cents; and Radio Loyalty - 6 cents. Total - 23 cents.
-
Day 18: No FC Surveys. Paid to Click - 15 cents; Daily Cash Email - 2 cents; and Radio Loyalty - 6 cents. Total - 23 cents.
At least with the Radio Loyalty and/or Videos, each day, our daily earning is more than what it used to be. Every little bit adds up, doesn't it?! :)
-
Day 20: BIG disappointment. I started out okay with the Radio Loyalty, but then it went back to the horrid CAPTCHAs, so I didn't get the Daily Email or the Paid to Click. I had 16 cents in RL and 2 cents for FC survey disqualifications, for a total of 18 cents. :BangHead:
-
Day 21: Back to the old grind. Bad, bad, bad CAPTCHAs!! Made a total of 5 cents today. I gave up on DCE and PTC. Got 2 RLs and 3 videos. Pitiful after spending all the time I did on them.
-
Keep trying and you will get to see something in these CAPTCHAs. Sometimes I have to refresh several time to get it done...Patience is the key.
-
Even if the captcha's don't work for you, there are still other ways to earn money that don't require captcha's. :)
-
Day 22: Today I got 15 cents in Paid to Click, 2 cents in Daily Cash Email, 4 cents in videos, and 1 cent with Radio Loyalty, for a total of 22 cents. I am trying to be more patient. :'(
-
Sorry to hear, good luck

Patience is a big key! Hope this week goes well everyday for you! :)
-
Thanks, jc. :)
Day 23: Still plagued with the CAPTCHAs. I did have a couple of the regular ones interspersed with the horrible ones. 15 cents for Paid to Click, 2 cents for Daily Cash Email, 2 cents for Radio Loyalty, and 3 cents for a total of 22 cents. Still hanging in there.
-
i know have the vidoes dont work never get a survey
-
Sometimes changing browsers help. For some reason Firefox works for me when the others I cannot read . Try to see if this helps. Looks like you have been a memeber for a long time. Do not give up. Take a break and come back.
-
I made 20 cent today from raidoa lone but will make more for jest doing what they say to do.
-
Day 24: Still struggling with CAPTCHAs from hell. Today I did manage to make 29 cents - 15 cents in Paid to Click, 10 cents in videos, 2 cents in Daily Cash Email, and 2 cents in Radio Loyalty.
-
Day 25: Still maddening CAPTCHAs, except for two, maybe. Total today - 31 cents. 15 cents for Paid to Click, 11 cents for videos, 2 cents for Daily Cash Email, 2 cents for FC Survey DQ, and 1 cent for Radio Loyalty.
-
I just put in anything sometimes when I can't read the CAPTHA. It usually works out. I also have been having a lot of troubles with the videos not loading. Usually I will try them several times in a day and they will eventually go through. I sometimes wonder if maybe to many of us are on at one time.
Because in the very late night or early morning the wil go through easily (SOMETIMES)!
-
:-X I can relate to that. I was unable to get fc surveys as well. But I found other ways to earn some money. For instance, I watched videos, did some tasks, and listen to music.
-
Day 26: Not a good day. Total - 11 cents. I don't even feel like talking about it right now.
-
The Captchas are a pain most of the time!
-
Sorry you're having a hard time with the captchas. I usually don't have an issue, thankfully. I like the ones with the text below the videos, since those are easy to read.
-
Wahhh. :'(
-
the problem with the capctha maybe with your computer. when i was using my netbook, the capcha always said try again, but when i use desktop or laptop it works just fine..maybe you need to change your settings :dontknow:
-
I have had my share of bad days but I get more GOOD days than bad... Hang in there and hopefully it gets better!!!
-
I don't recall ever having a problem with the capcha's on here. Swagbucks if really nice for that as well. The capcha's are always very clear.
-
Day 27: After trying to guess CAPTCHAs for about 15 minutes on Paid to Click, I gave up. I also gave up on Radio Loyalty. I ended up getting 6 cents for videos and 2 cents for the Daily Cash Email.
-
Gosh I know. Those type of captchas are ridiculously hard to read.
-
Day 28: 6 cents total today and a lot of hassle with CAPTCHAs.
-
don't let it get you down, i understand your frustration :angry7: :BangHead:
-
Dad 29: Getting close to the wire. Today I kept getting an error message when I tried Paid to Click. So much for that. I got a total of 15 cents - 13 cents for videos and 2 cents for Daily Cash Email. Oh, well.

You may have already addressed this, but if you already submitted a support ticket, did you hear back with some possible suggestions to try and help, or that it will be looked into? This issue just seems to be ongoing for you, with only a few days here and there of it working right.
-
Day 30: Last day of my log, and I have decided to stay on for a while. Once in a while I am getting regular CAPTCHAs. Today I got 15 cents, 16 cents for videos, and 2 cents for Paid to Click for a total of 33 cents. I tried until I gave up on Radio Loyalty.
-
Jcribb, I actually have not sent anything to Support. It seems to me that I remember that something was said a while back that they could not change the CAPTCHA codes, that they had no control over them. I may be thinking of another website. I think I will send a Support request, just to see what they say. Thanks for reminding me.
-
yeah they can be hard to read, but I usually just refresh it until I get one that I can make out
-
never had a problem with that myself
-
They say they used Captchas to show if you are human rather than a bot. They are full of it. It's just another way of preventing you to ever make a buck or receive a credit. Captchas benefit others not you. They can be a headache.
-
I agree. I can't see why, if that were true, they wouldn't use CAPTCHAs all the time. It just does not make sense at all.
-
i hate typing in those stupid things
-
I wouldn't mind typing them in if I could read them.
-
I hate that too. I get hard captchas on other internet sites as well. Maybe if you tried a different browser?
-
I don't think the browser I am using has anything to do with it. No matter which browser I use, they all do the same thing. Today I had good luck with CAPTCHAs, for the most part, except for Radio Loyalty.
-
sorry...
-
I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I have been taking advantage of the "good" captchas I have been getting for the last few days. I'm listening to and getting credit for Radio Loyalty and doing Paid to Click with no problems. (Crosses fingers)
-
I've never had any problems with the them. Is this happening on multiple devices?
-
I only use one device - my laptop.
-
SORRY ABOUT THE BAD LUCK BUT IVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM ON FUSION CASH :star: :star:
-
I used to have a problem like that. If I cant read it I refresh. You have to watch for capitaliaztion. Try emptying your cookies. That tends to help.
-
I haven't had too many problems yet for me to get too discouraged.
-
:)i know this is very little money and soon i will have to get something that pays alot more but it is fun for now
-
If at first you don't succeed try try again, you'll get it eventually :)
-
Hang in there. I was very frustrated for a while when my searches would stop working in several different browsers, and I even contacted Support, but now that seems to be fixed.
-
Day 22: Today I got 15 cents in Paid to Click, 2 cents in Daily Cash Email, 4 cents in videos, and 1 cent with Radio Loyalty, for a total of 22 cents. I am trying to be more patient. :'(
I would think that as long as you have been a member you would be able to find lots of ways to make money on FC. I have only been a member for less than a year and I have no problem with cashing out every month.
-
Well, I use FC as EXTRA money.... so when I qualify for things, I am happy; disappointed sometimes when I put all the effort in and don't get the credit... hang in there; hopefully it gets better!
-
I've had some issues before as well with captchas constantly. It seems to come and go randomly but it's annoying as heck. So far it's doing better, but, in my case what happened was I had emailed and turns out they had flagged my account for some reason. After emailing and discussing it with them, they must have "lifted" the flag.
-
I may have been flagged because I complain from time to time. I never thought of that.
-
Some things are not worth the hassles (and stress). Choose what you do on FC carefully and as a last resort where you don't qualify for anything, just get your 5 cents and do the paid to click which gives you .15.
So you get a grand total of .20 cents for the day. Fortunately there aren't too many days where I don't qualify for a survey - but it does happen. I spend 30 minutes on average on this site because it just not worth the extra time to be clicking for pennies.
My two cents. :moneymouth:
