Since FC does not seem to care I will post my thoughts here. I don't know about any one else but I have started saving the emails telling me I have been approved for payment for completing a survey. I have hade the suggestion more than once that the surveys have an ID number. I just got a notification saying an advertiser rejected my answers (in other words they did not like my opinion and decided not to use my answers or pay me) and payment had been revoked.
I would like to see an ID number attached to the surveys so I can go back and see WHO revoked payment. If anyone taking surveys completes the survey the advertiser as they call them should not be able to come back and not pay the person for their time. You ask for people's opinions. Not every one will give you the opinion you want to hear. Smh.

i have been saving anything and everything from Fusion, just to cover whatever may or may not come about.
-
I don't save FC survey invitations. Just the ones that says I have received credit. I thought I could go back and see what the survey was that revoked me. But I don't have enough information. I would just like to know. Or see if I can remember the survey.
-
I got that email today also. Say8ng ,you payment was rejected. With some reasonns of why maybe I answered to fast.or something else. Now I can speed through those age,zip,education,sex,income,race questions fast now maybe I should take a little longer on some questions.

I'm very confused i been doing surveys here for over a year and never had a payment revoked ...but i also follow the time it tells me needed to do the survey, i've done 1400 surveys on another site and had one survey rejected .. but i knew it was going to happen i was in over my head. And kept going to get the DQ points ... I have noticed allot more trick questions in surveys than before, maybe you need to slow down.!!

Uh I don't rush thru the surveys. I can assure you I do not need advice on how to take surveys. Been doing this since the year 2000. And THIS site is the ONLY site this happens on. And as you can see from comments on other threads in this forum I am far from the only one it happens to.
It's like this, in case you have not figured it out yet...
The companies manipulate the surveys. They want to be able to say we surveyed x number of people and x number said this. They get the numbers they want by rejecting the answers they do not like or kicking people out when you start giving answers they do not like.
It's like the one where I took the entire survey and the last 3 questions all related with the last one being
"Are you gay, lesbian, queer, trans whatever" and when I said NO I got the "oh sorry you do not qualify to take this survey". I did get credited for that one after I complained. If they wanted someone who was gay to take the survey then that needed to be the first question.
The point is if you complete a survey then they should not be able to come back and take the money away.
-
so far i've not had any trouble
-
I can't say that I relate to this experience...
-
I try real hard not to do survey, because I always loss money.
-
Yes surveys for me is like swimming without the Lifeguard! It's at your own risk, of losing time. They pay too little to risk not getting paid and being disqualified :bad:
-
I did quite well doing surveys last month and no problems, no payment revoked...

Hello! :D :)
I can definitely relate one time I completed a survey and it took like thirty to forty minutes to complete only to be disqualified. I personally feel that the first few questions should be used to see whether you qualified or not it certainly shouldn't take the entire survey. :rose: :heart:
-
I have never had a problem, knock on wood !!

The surveys are how I make my money. I don't see how the ones who say they never do surveys are ever able to cash out.

Exactly. I get that they want a specific criteria and that is fine. It is their survey. But ask those questions FIRST.
The worse was the one I took and at the very end it said OH WE LIED TO YOU ABOUT WHAT THIS SURVEY WAS ABOUT and blah blah blah. Some may remember it. We talked about it on here. Had to do with telling what your ancestry was. Funny how they want complete honesty from us but it is okay if they lie to us about who they are. lol.
But I totally agree. Eliminate people you do not want opinions from at the very start. I am also leery of answering questions politically related or religious related at the end because most likely you are fixing to get the ax.

Really ? you had a survey ask you if you were " Queer " I'd have reported the survey for the derogatory insult to the BBB.

Yes. It asked specifically "ARE YOU GAY LESBIAN BI QUEER TRANS and seems like there was something else in the list. I did report it. I don't see queer as being a derogatory insult since the LGBTQ uses it themselves. I am not gay so I was not "insulted" by the question. I was extremely ticked that I was denied payment for saying NO to the question after I had taken the entire survey. I did report the incident. I don't think it was on this site. I was credited for taking the survey. The site agreed with me...they should not be able to deny payment based on that question. And if they wanted someone who was one of those terms to take the survey it should have been asked FIRST not last.
You can't report something asked in a survey to the BBB because first you don't know who is behind the survey.
And second most of these are not businesses. A lot of them are like college classes or something and they have so much money allotted to do a certain study.
And it is like the moderator on this site told me - if you feel uncomfortable answering a question just x out of it and try a different one. (rolling eyes) lol

They reject random surveys for me. God knows why. If I’m gonna waste a half an hour doing a 75 can’t survey, I want my freakin 75 cents. I always answer surveys honestly so it’s disappointing when they revoke my payment.
-
Although I like your suggestion of assigning individual reference numbers for later review, the simple fact is that if you had a payment revoked, you must have done something that raised a red flag. They do not just revoke payments at random or because they do not like your opinion. That does not happen. What DOES happen is that sometimes people rush through the survey or they give inconsistent answers to the same or similar quality control questions or some other irregularity occurs. It happens. These companies pay considerable money for your data, so they need safeguards in place to make sure that the data is 100% accurate and reliable. Otherwise, they are paying a lot of money for worthless results.
Your idea of assigning unique reference numbers is a good idea, though. Survey companies should be required to explain to you the reason why your payment got rejected so that you can review what it was you did wrong and possibly avoid that pitfall in the future.
-
I know.In the last 2months i have been denied for my $3 bonus because i didn't use enough words! Really? I told them it is a big BS but they don't care.
-
I cannot relate, so far I have not experience that
-
Sorry to hear that :(
-
Oh, yes, they do manipulate some of the surveys. I, for one, have responded to a number of surveys where it became evident they wanted certain answers as I was disqualified well into the survey after not following the line of thought being perpetuated in the survey. Can you believe it? I thought they wanted honest responses!! Imagine! Although I have not had a revocation for awhile, I have had a "buttload" of surveys that I have completed or nearly completed to not have them credit one cent over the last 4-5 months. I love the surveys that also manipulate questions so you can't express your true opinion. I get those from time to time. Many of those are political!

I disagree. Yes, they do revoke payments because they don't like your answers. I have been told that. YOUR answers were rejected. I DO NOT rush thru the surveys. I don't know how many times I need to say that for it to sink in. I read the questions and I answer them honestly.
The same question (asked differently) give the same answer is kind of stupid. You can ask a question two different ways and likely get two different answers. I agree with the last part of your post - they company should have to tell me (and others) WHY they rejected the answers. I do know for a fact that they disqualify people for unfair reasons. I have an example earlier. Although the survey site turned it around and gave me credit and I WAS PAID. You cannot reject answers because they person is not gay. Unless you ask that question first and then kick them out immediately.
I have done the survey thing for years. And I know for a fact that companies reject answers when they don't like what the person says. Like I said they manipulate the survey. They want a specific result They get the result they want x number out of x number said this. Here is our survey and the results. The kick out the ones they don't want to get the results they want to show. This is fact. You do not have to believe me - but it is true.
:)
If you have never been revoked that is great. This is the FIRST site I have ever worked with where you can take a survey and receive credit and then the company can come back later and take your payment back.

This is not the same thing as surveys. I am pretty sure it says that to get credit for the forum posting bonus you have to contribute to the conversation. YOU choose which 3 posts you want to use. Use posts where you actually say something. I have seen people who post lol or yes or no and do that on every thread. No, that won't cut it. I have also seen where the same idiot will start 11 threads all with the same topic. Then when you click on the topic it is one word in their post. haha I don't think any of those people are still on here.
People tend to leave when they realize that making money on this site takes work. It is not easy.

Yep. Same here. No, they don't want honest answers. Another example is if it is for say "Peter Pan Peanut Butter" and they are asking questions about PB and then ask which brands you buy if you do not choose PPPB or you don't say that is your preferred brand - out you go. LOL.
But the political ones you are so right about.
Do any of you remember the survey about DNA and after you completed it you were told OH WE LIED TO YOU.
It was something that was suppose to prove that all white people were bigots. We had a discussion about it when it happened. Several people on here took it.

I did a Your Survey on another site yesterday. I completed the survey, got to the completion page AND my Quality score went up 1 point. I left the page open for hours and it never credited. I sent a support ticket to YS and got the "You were DQ'd and we cannot pay for those" email. But, the kicker was I had just done a survey for them that took ONE HOUR AND TEN minutes and was DQ'd at the end. It was to be a 5 min survey. I sent them a ticket and told them about that one as well. I won't be doing YS for awhile. But, I knew who I had trouble with. In your case, you do not. All we get are survey numbers on our account page and if it is denied, it will say so to the right of the survey number.

I have completed several and told I would receive my reward and they never credit. I have also done the ones that take well over an hour and it said it would take 5 minutes. So obviously we are taking our time lol. And by the time I get well in to it I forget how much it says I would get paid. SO I don't want to just quit.
I have seen those numbers. I keep the email I get saying I got credited for what ever survey. But those do not have any numbers attached. And when I get the so and so revoked payment on your survey or how ever it says it those do not have any numbers so I can't go back and match it up. I would just like to know. Maybe I can remember the survey. There are several that I do remember. And there are the ones that at the end will ask random questions about who you voted for and stuff like that. I swear I think that is used against you. Could be why some don't credit or why some get revoked.
Kind of like the woman with CNN that said the people who died in that shooting deserved it because they were most likely Republicans. I am still trying to process that. But anyway, the point is I have proof that I was kicked out of a survey at the last question because I answered I was NOT gay, lesbian, trans, etc. That is just as illegal as denying payment because you want a straight person to answer your questions. Although it isn't always seen that way. Sorry, kind of turned in to a rant. lol
I think most of the people on this site are basically desperate for money. I don't think any one on here is rich. If they were they would not spend 4 hours doing surveys only to have maybe $1.50 at the end. And then to have that taken back away is ridiculous.
-
You know what I totally agree with you!!!! I've had the same thing happen to me many times. I stop emailing FC because they don't care. They don't do anything. I really put a lot of my time and dedication doing these surveys and for them to say I didn't any dedication on my answers. If they don't like what I had to say they don't put out surveys. Like you said not all of us are going to wright or do it like they want to hear. It doesn't mean that we didn't put dedication to it. This gets me MAD!
-
Bravo! Well said. Plus whose to say that they truly did not like your answers. I would suspect that they took your answers and simply lied to avoid paying you. Bad Business for sure.
I am sorry that you had that exerience. I just joined today and I am not fond of the idea of opinion surveys.I enjoy posting here in the forum well enough. It might be fun to watch videos, too. But I can't see myself gaming or doing survey after survey. For that alone you deserve to get paid.
Can you make a decent amount from FC without doing the surveys?
Let me know if you can or not. Good luck to you.
-
I never save anything from FC unless they are telling me that I have earned money for surveys I have taken.

Oh yeah. You know they still use your answers. I usually cash out every month. This month I cashed out at a little over $60 but after they took my 75 cents back it went to to a little below $60. I personally have made as much as over $70 in one month but that is rare. Usually between $26 and $30. Pretty good in my opinion but you have to work at it. Some people do really well but they have a ton of referrals that make their money for them. Every time a referral cashes out FC also gives YOU the referrer $5. It does not come out of the referral's money.
Surveys are how I make my money. Other than that I just get a few pennies a day. The videos never credit for me. Good luck to you. Oh and posting in here. That gives you $3 a month.
-

That is all I save and I didn't do that until a little over a month ago. I thought I could go back and see what surveys have been revoked but I can't : (

Exactly. And wording a question two different ways can get you a different answer. And I see the trap questions and I answer them correctly. I read the questions. I give my opinions. There are right and wrong answers. If there were not then nobody would be disqualified. And yeah when you spend an hour on a survey that said it would take 5 minutes then yes anybody would get mad when that $0.50 gets yanked back away from you. It does add up. And the bad thing is when people barely make the cash out and then they get money taken away and it takes them back below the threshold.
