Does anyone have the same problem with survey sites, as I do?

I just don't seem to be able to get anywhere with any of the survey sites, I spend a lot of time on them, I fill them out completely, they seem to go on and on. Then I summit them. And most of the time, I never get the confirmed notice, from Cash Crates and Panda search. I look at my account with them, and the money is always in pending. I just don't get it. The only thing I get is, a whole lot of spam mail and even phone calls. I didn't want to use my phone number, but I thought that maybe that was stopping me from getting confirmed. It' crazy. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. People tell me that they have been paid from these survey sites.

I never even get accepted to take surveys. They send them to me and after the first five pages they tell me I am not qualified to take it. So I stopped dealing with them along time ago. I guess a 23 year old with no kids and in college does not qualify to have an opinion on anything. :) or at least that is what they tell me!

Well, don't count on qualifing once you are older - 50, no kids and no college don't qualify either! That's where I am.. used to do pretty good, but this past year, I'll literally sit and do 10 minutes of the survey and then suddenly.."we're sorry.. you do not qualify for this survey". I mean it takes them that much time of info to decide if I qualify? I have to wonder if they are just taking my info and then not paying me!!! I think to - demographic has something to do with it...I'm in the heart of southern california.. we have everything so who cares what we think!!!!!LOL!!! I am on so many survey sites and still... hardly any qualify...

Somebody once sent me this: What survey sites are looking for: A (married) couple with 3 kids, (a baby, a 7 year old and a 12 year old). They are around 30 in age, (Hispanic), a dog, a cat, a mortgage, bank accounts, leasing a new car, own their home, wife stays home, husband works full time job, works in some kind of profession, income around (80,000), they go on business trips, they are frequent flyers, they stay at high class hotels and motels, have good insurance on everything, they own a boat and a 4 wheeler, they have checking accounts, savings accounts, stocks, bonds, 401ks, mutual funds, own a summer home and eat at the best resturants and shop at high class stores. Kids go to summer camp and are A+ students, they all have expensive cell phones on (monthly plans), they joined a gym and exercise every day. They have all the latest game gear, and an HD TV, the latest computers as well as laptops. They go to the movies once a month. They have digital cable or satellite dish. They are slender, eat only the right foods, are attractive. She gets her hair done at a salon every month and only uses top brand products, they don't smoke and they see a doctor and dentist every 6 months! (And who said you can't be all that the next time you do a survey? Get the picture?) The surveys have nothing to do with the information you signed up with, they are separate! (This whole thing is what someone sent me)!

I have just recently found found this to be the case, with survey spot. I did a couple of them, taking about 20 minutes to do them, and then it comes up that I did not qualify, or they have had all the response that they needed on the particular survey, so I just did it for nothing, no pay.

I do survey sites also known as gpt sites. There are certain ways to complete the offers and get them approved. I make out well and you can view my website in my profile and I have some payment proofs up there. If you want to know the secret send me a pm.

Good Morning, I wanted to say thanks for the information that you sent me on doing the surveys. I did go back to do a few more, received confirmation on two of them, and added a lot more to my pending. So, maybe in May, if I can keep getting a couple of them confirmed each time, I will make the $20.00 pay out by the end of May.

You'd need to sign up to the sites, fill out your user profile (profile surveys) and then await them to send you surveys.
Some send surveys everyday, some send a couple a week, the more surveys you d, the quicker it is to get to payout.. Check the ones that have paid me so far as those are the ones that send surveys regularly.

I have some money but not much in Cash Crates but I have alot of money that is pending and has been that way for several weeks now. I have been a member of that for quite awhile but quit doing it. But, several weeks ago I decided to try it again but now I haven't done it again in quite awhile. Waiting to see if these pending money will show up in money I have earned.

Well, I guess it's not just me. I was on CashCrates early last week, did a few surveys. And the ones that paid 25 cents, I received approval for, so I went back on and did a few for 50 cents. I never got approval for them. So, I am so done with doing surveys, takes too much time for nothing.

well, I am out of those survey sites. I have spend a whole year with them and didn't get paid even a single penny from them.
My last attempt was a AWsurveys and was very amused that I got 27 bux in my account in only one day. but later on I get to know that it was nothing but a scam site.

I have been paid several times from various different survey sites some paying through paypal, prizes or vouchers to redeem at amazon etc. Perhaps you are not applying to genuine sites there are so many sites out there but you have to be careful you only apply for ones which support the method of payments etc which will work for you and your country of residence.
I suggest you take a look at the survey police website. This site should really help you and gives you a run down of the genuine survey sites out there as well as links to there websites. You will definately be earning soon then. Hope this helps.

I think you are just a member of the wrong survey sites. I've been paid by several of them and all but 1 I am a member of is credited to my account instantly. It's kinda funny but I just started a discussion on a survey site I'm a member of right before I found your discussion. Take a look at my discussion, I think you'll find it interesting and maybe things happen for a reason.

I can get you a list of the legitimate survey sites, also called marketing research panels. I use them and gpt sites, which are more like Cash Crate. I have luck with all the legitimate surveys sites and some of the gpt sites. PM me or check out my blog. I can probably answer any specific questions you might have as well. Good luck!

I'm a part of 8 survey sites that have good reputations and so far I've only been sent a check from one of them. I signed up last month for all of them and have already made $20 and they send me surveys everyday..Send me your email and I will have them send you an invite to join..
