Frustrating
« on: June 08, 2020, 07:32:23 am »
Yesterday I tried a survey from Peanut Labs.  It said it was 28 minutes.  Usually I do not try surveys that are that long but it paid $1.25.  After about 35 minutes I got to a page that said 'Congratulations, you have  qualified to take this survey'    What  ???  All that work wasn't even the survey.



I did finish to get the $1.25 (another 20 min.)

Good job for sticking it out! I've had those kind before too, it's ridiculous! Sometimes I get to the last page though, and get told there was an error. Ugh! Now on another site I do surveys on, all I have to do is report a dispute, take a screenshot if I can, submit it and usually within 1 day, I'll be awarded all or partial points for it. I've had to do that on numerous occasions, but not feasible to do here. Heck, I can't even get Peanut Lab surveys to work here anymore!

I have had it happen when I thought that I was at the end of a survey and got a message telling me that I qualified for the survey after spending way too much time answering questions.

Speaking of frustration about surveys. This happened to me on another site. I took a survey. it seemed to actually be four separate surveys pretending to be one.  I can not remember how long the survey was supposed to be but maybe 10 minutes and it paid low. This survey was so boring that I had to take breaks and before it was over, it took about one hour of my time.

I got a message telling me that I had completed a survey but it did not give me the survey number nor did it tell me how much I had earned. Well, guess what happened. I never got any credit.

I do not remember who sponsored the survey. I never attempted to open a support ticket because it seldom helps any longer.

Again, this was on a different site so the problem is not just a Fusion Cash problem.

They can be frustrating sometimes. When I get disqualified for a survey, I try another one.

I hate it when I spend a long time on a "survey" only to find out it was the pre-qualification portion and the real survey follows.  Glad you got the $1.25 -- that's a nice payout!!

Way to persevere.  After 35 minutes, I would have labeled the survey as fraud and moved on to the next one.

lol  I hate that.  It is like I thought I was taking the survey.  I don't get you all that say you don't try surveys that are that long. Almost every survey I do takes at least 30 minutes.  Even if it says it will take 3.

Some times I go out on a limb and do a few 15-minute surveys.  I lack the focus to do anything longer than that.

Yeah never know with surveys here or other sites. Did one on my points for 170 points I Suppose that's 1.00 give or take.  Don't like tap research lately they have 2 cent or 4 cent surveys I don't think so. Even 10 cents not worth it.

That sounds rough. Usually I don't have trouble with the PeanutLabs surveys, but I have definitely had those experiences with other surveys on here before

I understand your frustration.  It is one reason that I only do TAP surveys on FC.  The DQ value is usually higher and there are many short ones to choose from.
I applaud you for staying with it!

Yeah, I get those too.  Makes you want to kick somebody or someone.  That really pisses me off.

I hate to mention it, but all that internal frustration has no effect on anyone but yourself. It's much more productive to just kick it to the curb and say, "NEXT".
