I find it very frustrating....

I hate when you are completing a survey, and you are at 95% completion, when it says that you don't meet the criteria... REALLY?

[ULuvCeCe]

I know the feeling, that is why I don't do them as often. Time is money and on some days spending 20 minutes just to get to 95% and be told I don't meet the criteria isn't worth $0.75 to me but that doesn't mean it's not to others here

I know right! I fill out all those tedious forms and then it was all for nothing. But if it's a 24 hour survey you can try again the next day

How often does this happen?

[bostonphil]

I almost never qualify for surveys on FC so I no longer try.  But there are some sites where I have had occasional success and get a small reward if I try and do not qualify. 

The other day I tried a survey from one of these sites.  I spent so much time on the survey that i expected the demos to come up.  Instead I got a message telling me that i was over quota.  I got a very small reward because I tried but got disqualified.

I agree with you on this. I would want to know what kind of info they are looking for so that I am not wasting my time really for a survey of that magnitude. I feel if the survey takes me more than 30 minutes to complete I should be earning at least $1.00. Although one thing I have noticed in the tediousness of it all is that they ask the same questions over and over again but use different wording. As well, they try to get me to sign up for the same old market research companies, and some of which I am already members of.

It can be very frustrating when you
don't receive credit after putting in the
time.

I own PCPS and I use FC as one of our
programs.

My members are not having any porblems
with crediting. If they are I haven't
heard about it.

Make sure you clear your cookies
when you first log in each time.
I tell all my members to disable
their pop up blocker as well.
You also want to set your
computer to except all cookies.

You can put your settings back to
what you like after you finish your
session on FC.

This should help you all get better
crediting.

I hope this helps you all.

it happens to all of us at some point. the only thing we can do is move on to the next one and hope for a better outcome.

Getting 95 % threw happens on a regular base. It seems to be worse at the end of the month.

[hwilliams591]

It is very fustrating. I quite a few months ago because I needed a break from here.
I'm trying now to see if this is something I can do again.

I can understand why you quit for a while. I have just spent an hour going through 6 surveys and I didn't qualify for a single one of them. I guess being a self employed web designer/student who stays at home to take care of a child doesn't qualify for any surveys. It kinda stinks because unless you get to 100% you get nothing. They should at least give a "consolation prize" like 5 cents or something.
