Annoying Survey

So, I've finished a survey last night worth 100 points or almost $2. When I've done taking it, the survey site just only gives me 2 points. Just 2 points like I have been just screened out and that points is just for consolation... Another wasted 25 minutes from my end. I am very frustrated.

@cacay1 It is not about discrimination sometimes the survey offers doesn't qualify us because the products are available only in another country. Something like that.

Most surveys are not worth your time. I do use one site called paidviewpoint. You always get at least 10 cents. I dont know if you can join but it could be worth checking to see.

@simplfred I usually make it about every 3 months. At least I never feel cheated with them like I have other surveys

I am using it then but I have stopped because it is quite hard to reach the payment threshold there. I'm planning to continue though, I think I have something about $3 there.

I still do some of the survey sites. Those that I've truly trusted but still problem like this is inevitable.

@RasmaSandra, I always hear clamors from people whose efforts in surveys were not paid.There are many cheaters in the world, they should stop this!

I see. I don't plan to give up but I think I need to rest a bit on surveys. Some of them works for me.

Surveys are just too good to be true most times anyway.

I had joined before to site doing survey. But I was frustrated, I was almost done when a prompt popped up that my area is not covered by the survey. I never do any survey online job anymore.

I take online surveys and for the most part I do very well with them. They do require quite a bit of patience. What you experienced is not unusual - frustrating yes but unusual, no.
Sometimes a survey quota will fill while you are in the middle of the questionnaire. That may be what happened to you and why you did not get full credit.

@simplfred I wish there was some way that the survey panels could maybe temporarily suspend a survey's availability so that anybody who attempts it while the quota appears to be full don't end up wasting time on it.
Either that or everyone who makes an honest effort could somehow be 'grandfathered in', so to speak, and will get a fair reward.

That might be the case. Maybe, someone is faster than me answering because I really trusted the site.

I agree but when successfully finishing one and really credited well I think it is worth the time. Sadly, most of the survey doesn't work well or always screen one out.

I know how you feel since some survey sites do tell me after I finished with a survey that last around 20 minutes that I am not eligible to collect my dough.

I have gone through such experience a few times but gladly the time that I spent was not more than 5 minutes. Screening you out after 25 minutes is not fair.

I hate those kinds of experiences. They are just keeping your info, and ripping you off. If I company does that, I might give them one more chance, but that is it.

I never do online surveys for points or money...I seem to never get credit. Now in person research studies are a different story. I’m a favorite lab rat for the local university’s psychology department...a well paid favorite lab rat!

@simplfred What's the reason? Are they discriminating Asian incomes?

@cacay1 I think no, my friend. There are a lot of reasons. Place is one of them, age and other stuff. Sometimes the brand is not available in our country but there are survey site that are really legit, kabayan.

I just hope they will just invite us on surveys that will automatically qualify us because they already know our profile.
