It's not always easy to qualify for Gold Surveys on Swagbucks but at least I was able to try to take them. A few weeks ago I was no longer able to do that. Every time I went to the Gold Surveys page I got a message "We're sorry. It seems that answering surveys is not for you. Unfortunately your personal information is not consistent. We are thus unable to complete your survey profile."
I contacted support about it, and after some investigating on their part, they told me that my recent survey responses were not answered as directed or were inconsistent. That is very strange because I always read everything before answering, and since joining Swagbucks I have never had my Gold Survey dashboard disabled.
They have re-enabled my Gold Survey dashboard but told me that I have to read each question very carefully before answering so that my dashboard is not disabled again. If it becomes disabled again they will not be able to reactivate it.
I am glad this got resolved and that I can take Gold Surveys again, but I am hesitant to do it. What if I get blocked from taking them again?
Anyone had this happen happen to them?

I earn points (SB) on Swagbucks for doing different things and then I can cash out those points for PayPal cash. Surveys are one of the best ways to earn SB there. So, not being able to do these surveys was bad for me. They have another survey set there as well, which was never disabled thankfully, but Gold Surveys were good. Glad they are back on.

@TheInvisibleMan It's free to join it! There are a lot of ways to earn SB there. Once you have enough SB you can redeem them for gift cards or PayPal cash. I prefer PayPal cash.

It happened to me. I no longer take surveys. I usually earn through their watch and earn program and their discover offers. I also earn using Hubpages. Are there any other ways you earn on-line?

@lovebuglena What other web-sites do you use to make money on-line?

@simpleliving3251120 I am trying out Virily. But I don't publish articles there. I publish quizzes. I also have articles/posts on sites run by Harlow-McGaw Media - Daily Two Cents, Writedge, Trendzic, Listofied, Pen Strokes. Also have some articles on Wizzley but have not earned anything there at all.

What's the watch and earn program? Is that where you watch video playlists and earn SB?

If you don't know what you're doing that is causing this it is a bit difficult to make sure you're doing things correctly. Good luck with the next surveys you try. .

That has never happened to me. What a joke that you got disabled for not answering questions to suit them. How about all the surveys one spends 15 minutes diligently answering only to get the sorry you don't qualify page? We are constantly ripped off by SB surveys.

An example of a question they gave me was to choose a specific answer from the list. Maybe when I did a survey I accidentally selected the wrong answer in the list to a question. But that's no reason to disable me. If that happened they should have just kicked me out of that survey.

I hate it when I spend a lot of time answering questions, which seem to be actually survey questions not qualifying questions and then I get kicked out with a message that I don't qualify or that the survey hit max capacity. And how about those surveys that in the survey list say they are a few minutes to take and then when you actually do the survey it's much much longer than that.

@lovebuglena You got that right. There is one survey system that goes in circles meaning complete one then you are informed you didn't qualify and the process endlessly repeats. They are getting the input they seek without paying for it.
