Title: Ripped Off
Post by: countrygirl12 on May 28, 2019, 03:09:19 pm
When you start a survey that pays 60 cents and after 15 minutes of wasted time find you have to watch 3 shows at 25 minutes each rating constantly and still only get paid 60 cents.  SMH

Why can they lie to me but I am not suppose to lie to them?

That sounds like a wasted survey opportunity....Yuck!  I don't think I could have lasted that long trying to finish that survey.  I would have clicked out and said FORGET IT.

That sounds unfair but it happens with these surveys. I have been there.

Yeah, it just made me mad.  I mean who is going to spend 2 hours doing something for a few pennies.

Well it told me I had to watch 3 short videos.  The first one started and I noticed it was 24 plus minutes and that is when I hit the X.  I am not wasting that much time watching some stupid tv show that disgusts me anyway for 60 cents.

I hate it when you pick a survey and it says it's for 5 minutes. Once you answer a few questions it then says it will take 60 minutes or so. Why? If I wanted to do a longer survey I would have chosen it from the beginning.

Maybe if the surveys were honest with us to begin with we would do more of them.

sometimes surveys try to get info for nothing, but don't let it make you give up

Yep had one to day and was just about finished and of course their quota was filled,  Should have  said Sorry Charlie we go your info good by. I hate those.   I was lucky I got 3  small ones today.  But at least then I got my paid to click, Hopefully I will  close out  next month. Sometimes I just can
t get a darn thing and then w wow 3,

I won't give up but I do get frustrated.  I had a revoke this morning.  Had not had that in a long time.  I vaguely remember doing it because it paid $1.20 mostly I remember the amount.

Countrygirl12, so sorry for your frustration.  We all experience that periodically so we can empathize with you.

surveys are awful.  More times than not the only ones I qualify for are ones that deal with food shopping.  I can't stand the ones that you waste all that time, get half-way or most of the way through one only to get one lousy penny at the end for all the time you wasted.  Sometimes, like with the mobile games, you don't even get the promised amount.

I hate when that happens to me as well. You waste so much time only to get 1 cent, but you just press on!

Hello!

Yesterday I wasted my time with a survey that seems like it would never end. So many pointless questions. I wasted all this time taking the survey and then I didn't even get paid I  was pissed. Surveys are definitely a risk you have to decide if they are worth taking.

I have had 2 different surveys this week that I completed and got a sorry you don't qualify at the end.

I am sorry this happened to you. Sometimes these survey providers put one thing down to get you into the survey and throw a low price at it. And as for getting revoked. It happens well too often. These companies get their answers they need and then revoke us. It is a load of crap but all we can do is move on :peace:

This happens all the time.  You are angry because you've wasted time answering the question, then it's bupkis/nothing.  Being cheating out of your money.

Surveys are hard to qualify for.

Something similar happened to me the other day, too. I got to the end of the survey and it said I was all done but for some reason, I only got the 1 cent DQ. It's definitely frustrating.

Over all I make way more money than I get jipped out of so I guess I will continue to do them in my spare time.

I think it's really bad when you spend a great deal of time on a survey and get to the end and it say quota exceeded or dq.  Sometimes I think they want to get away with only paying out a penny.
