I am SO TICKED

[Annella]

It happens to all of us at one time or other.  There's no worse feeling than feeling ripped off   I just took another survey this morning on another website. and it took me 45 minutes.  I answered close to 150 questions about 3 different subjects, including my political views.  At the end, it asked all the stat questions.....you know, race, income, education, etc.  I got all done, clicked to submit my answers, and was told I didn't qualify!!!!!  Yes, I definitely complained!!  Not only to the website I'm a member of, but to their owners also.  It seems that this is becoming an issue more and more.  I know some people just rush through the surveys, or give hurried answers, but what about those of us that take the surveys serious, and do our best job?  Shouldn't these websites protect their members?  They want us to join, and so they should oversea how we are being credited or not.  Anyway, I know how the survey looked, and if I ever see them again......phttttttt  I'm outta there!!!!  These sites depend on these advertisers to make their money, so I understand their reluctance to rock the boat for them, but not at their members expense.  We are warned to be courteous to the advertisers.  What about us?  We certainly don't consider being courteous to the point of being ripped off!

It is frustrating, but eventually you'll get some to work.

I have had this happen many times. Yes, I understand that FC may not want to rock the boat with these type of companies. However, this may eventually back fire on FC. Ongoing frustration of "employees" can lead to a greater and greater negative reputation. How long will it be before this kind of treatment will it take before FC ends up on scam websites. I hope they find a way to deal with it. The amount of pay one receives overall is not very much to begin with!

even if you do qualify and finish a survey many tmes you are not credited.

Okay, had to let you know this.......this is classic.  Took a survey (this afternoon) from MY2C and got all the way through it, and was told I TOOK TOO LONG TO TAKE IT, SO I DIDN'T QUALIFY!!!!  WHAT??  First they tell you not to rush through a survey because you won't get credit, and now if you take to long you won't get credit?  You can't win!!!  The survey didn't take more than 35 minutes, and had a lot of questions where you had to type your opinions in a box.  All that takes time, if your doing your best.  It also said it would report me to the distributors of the survey (FC I guess).  You know what I say.......REPORT AWAY!!!!  FC will see that I did a good job on this survey, and nothing wrong.  These survey sites/advertisers are getting way to pushy and particular.....or maybe it's the reason why there are so many people not getting credited, or excuses why not.  I've always prided myself on being a top notch survey taker.  I'm getting sick of this kind of tactics.......this is bordering on scamming

[Annella]

Have to make this correction.  The survey was from SurveyHead, not MY2C.  Didn't do a survey from MY2C today.

that happens to me a lot too.  one time i spent 45 minutes and spoke to a moderator and at the end did not get credit

[jcribb16]

   It's happened to me, too.

[carolrowe]

I too have had that happen many times.  The past couple of months, I've been too busy to to much more than the dailys, thus earnings are way down.  The obnly good thing I can say is that mine didn't happen every time and I got credit for most and my earnings were reflective.  It's easy to get discouraged when you've spent all that time, but it has happened to everyone, even the folks who do really well here.  It at least made me deel not quite so bad.

I have never qualified for a survey in "My Opinion Counts".  Evidently my life is not exciting enough.  It asks if I do certain things and if my job is certain things and none of the options I have are applicable.  Next thing you know, I'm not qualified.  I guess the only surveys I could participate in pertain to food or household products.

Damn! The greeting card survey is not working. It's a broken link. Darn it. That could've been another dollar for me. Oh Well! 

[missijl]

I would definitely be surprised to find someone who qualifies for EVERY survey. A lot of times they're looking for a very specific someone. Lately, it has not been me! 

[cjobey99]

Seems we all have the same issues, but in the end where else are you able to make money for basically very little effort.  I can think of a lot worse ways to spend your time.  Just saying...............

[spotlight1shure]

That is definitely upsetting. I can understand your frustration and you should have definitely gotten credited the dollar. Really, what is a dollar anyway for 30 minutes of work?

[pattypingle]

That happened to me a few times on all the money surveys, bUt I keep trying to do them. today I got the $1 and a .60 cent on. Just keep trying.
