I really do miss the video part of the site but now it just a waste of time as well just like surveys sadly.

I hate when you go through a survey, even half way then all of a sudden you don't qualify.  You waste all that time and (if done here) you only get a penny.  I think if you get at least half way or to the end and don't qualify you should get at least half the amount they were offering if you qualified.  Here it's like anyone over 35 is only qualified to go food shopping.  Those are the only survey's I seem to qualify for.  I don't know why they make you fill out a profile which they claim will connect you to surveys better suited to you when 9 out of every 10 you don't qualify for.  Sometimes after I do my 5cents for the PTC I only them if I have time to make a cent quota for myself because I know I won't qualify.  But I think we should be compensated for time spent because that is frustrating.   

At least you are getting the 5 cents which then allows you to get the 15 cents.  A lot of people are not even getting that.  Lately all I get is the 2 cent email and the DQ cents from surveys which does not count toward the 5 cents to do the PTC.

I think the problem is too many people have decided to do surveys as a full time job.  Which isn't possible. These sites are catching on and are making it harder to earn money.

I'm frustrated with them too.  My lifestyle doesn't drop me into many areas of qualification. I find myself qualifying for maybe one a month... and not getting credit for them 2 or 3 times...so I've lost determination in efforts for trying.  There are so so so many other things I can do with my time.

The rules are very tight, for example, if you answer the questions too fast, they disqualify you, so make sure you know the rules.

This has nothing to do with rules. Most of the people getting DQ are NOT breaking any rules.  There is no way to win.  You go too fast you get kicked out. You go too slow you get kicked out.  I have been kicked out more than once.  I read the question and give an answer.

I just did a survey that had me watch half of a 1-hour episode of a new tv show, and then it immediately kicked me out. It didn't ask me any questions, AND now I'm left wondering about what happened in the rest of the episode. UGH!

I know the feeling.  Basicly, I don't even try to do surveys anymore unless I am real relaxed and have plenty of time to spare  :-X

Surveys are the biggest payouts on these pay to do sites.  Unless you want to buy things. There's really no other option.

I don't do surveys on here anymore. It takes too much time to qualify for one and sometimes they are long and the payment is small. I just try to get my five cents a day.

I'm sick of not qualifying.  I haven't done a survey in a while.

I probably qualify for 1 out 6 surveys but I make sure I get something for my pain if I do get DQ'd.

I just got this survey question:

Which of the following best describes the industry segment of the company/organization for which you work?
>Healthcare/Medicine
>Healthcare/Medicine
>Healthcare/Medicine
>Healthcare/Medicine
>None of the above [Exit Survey]


Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask if I work in the healthcare/medical field (yes/no)? And if I did work in healthcare/medicine, which one of the four do I choose?  ::)

I know I hate that, too.  But, Tap is paying again!  Yay for that!  At least the pennies I get from DQing out of their surveys count towards the PTC requirements.
