$5.00 Grocery Shopping Mission
« on: April 27, 2014, 08:34:38 am »
A few days ago I completed a survey about grocery shopping which included a mobile survey that needed to be completed in the store the next time I went shopping.  Last night I was able to complete the mobile portion of the survey and I was a little disappointed when I only received $2.50 instead of the advertised $5.00.  Normally I don't complain about receiving variable amounts for surveys because I realize that with reroutes I'm often taking a completely different survey than the one I originally started.  However, this was not the case.  After completing the first part of the survey, I received the link for the mobile survey (advertised as $5.00).  On the day I was supposed to go shopping I received a reminder email, once again offering $5.00.  And when I actually completed the survey in store, once again the link offered $5.00.  But when I got home and checked my account this is what I got:

FC Survey: Grocery Shopping Mission    Apr 26th   $2.50   Approved

It's not the end of the world...it's not like I made a special trip to the store but it is a bit frustrating to be told over and over that I would be earning a certain amount and then only be paid for half of the amount.  I haven't submitted a support ticket yet because I want to double check my account.  It's possible I may have already been credited the other half when I completed the first part of the survey (although I doubt it because it specifically stated there would be no credit until both parts of the survey had been completed).  So...long story short, has anyone else completed this mission and how much were you paid for it?

Evidently I didn't qualify for it originally because I don't know anything about it but it does seem odd that all the way thru it states $5.00 and then at the end you only received $2.50.  You might want to tell "support."

I've taken this survey before and I did not qualify since it requires a smartphone and did not have one.

This one is on my list, but I have hesitated in taking it because I'm in a teeny tiny town and didn't know if you had to go to like Walmart or a good sized grocery store to do this. If they don't care where you go then maybe I'll try our local dollar store because that is what we have.  :confused1:

Did you receive anything for the original survey you took before the mobile part? Maybe it was $2.50 for each part for $5 total?

Maybe the $2.50 is for the first part of the survey. Maybe another $2.50 is coming.  ??? I can understand your disappointment, frustration and even anger. If you do not get another $2.50, open up a support ticket and ask for an explanation.

I also have received the offer. I did the first part and have received the instructions / link for the second part but I have chosen not to continue because I would need to give out my cell phone number. I have limited minutes and text messages so I do not give out my cell phone number to many people or businesses.

I did the 1st part of this and did not receive $2.50 for that... was going to do the 2nd part tonight.

I'll report back what the results are.

You've got me interested now.  I will come back to see if jgw007 got his/her credit!  I think sometimes these companies word their incentive offers in a manner that is confusing.  They try to reel you in with ambiguous wording and after you complete the offer, you don't get what the wording sounded like you you were going to get.  If they are only going to pay $2.50, then it should tell you it will only pay $2.50.  It leaves a bad taste in your mouth and makes you leery of all companies.  It's great to have this forum so that we can sometimes know ahead of time which companies are not following through with their promises.

That must be very frustrating, especially since you probably went to the store expecting to be able to finish the survey.  We're you ever able to get it to work?

I'm very curious jgw007, did you finish the in-store survey and how much were you paid?

Well.... I did get to the store and used the link... but, the 2nd page got stuck in an endless loading cycle. The page where you select your location. Tried reloading the page many times... just that little circular spinning arrow.

Yep.  I stopped doing surveys a long time ago because they always took too long and never credited.  I guess you can send FC a message and see if they know why.  Hope you figure it out!

I did that one. It took a while for them to give me the link for the second part. I did the store part of it and never got credited for it.
