I rarely get surveys from globaltestmarket so when I got one today, I was very excited. I quickly opened the survey and answered it. But after the first question, I was automatically screened out :( Has anyone experienced this already. Well, at least they still gave me 5 market points for trying :)

That's the norm for survey sites, unfortunately. It's great when you qualify but you always have to waste a lot of time getting screened out of surveys. GTM used to give US members the 5 market point consolation prizes, but not any longer...cherish them while you can get them!

Your last setence is a keeper!! Most sites have you sit through a ton of questions, disqualify you and then give you absolutely nothing for your time. Count your blessings on that one. Now you have free time to earn even more using paidviewpoints surveys. Their surveys are super easy and quick. I myself have never answered more than 10 questions on any survey and they already paid me. I made $1.06 on a cell phone survey yesterday and only answered 6 questions. Another reason I like this site is because they pay in cash, not points and they do reward you for referrals. Clixsense also pays for trying on their surveys but they only pay with gift cards. I made payouts several times with them until I just got tired of the gift cards. Good luck on qualifying!!

Usually in my case after asking 3-4 questions, this is usually when I get screened out. It seems to be after they ask if I have kids or not that I get screened out, I'm always disappointed.

That happens a lot with surveys. At least you didn't get to the very end and got screened out - then it would have been a total waste of time! Sometimes you just don't qualify for the certain survey (if you aren't the right demographic they are looking for). I have had that happen many times - it's very frusterating! So I don't do surveys anymore. Ha. Best of luck to you with your online earnings, however!

Hi, I have been with Global Test Market for 5 years now and I have been screened out of surveys innumerable times. They do give 5 market points however even when we are screened out. We cannot really do anything about this as their surveys are looking for particular target groups and when we don't match that, they screen us out. However, I have never given up hope and I am still fully active on the site. Hope you can have a long association with this site too. They do pay on time and without hassles.

Survey screen out is a very normal thing,so don't be dishearten.It's happened to me number of times in global test market but despite all of that,i have got 2 payouts from them and very near for the 3rd payout. Actually survey sites always looking for some specific peoples,if that doesn't match,screening out will happen.My advice is to you,always update your profile in survey sites and if possible participate in every invitation.
