| They will ask them sometimes, but if you do not feel right do not answer them. I will say never give out your social # and bank account # to anyone. That is not one that I would put out there. the only time I would give my Social is for work only. |

what I hate is when they ask all these personal questions after they've already disqualified you from the paid survey.

| Pfft, if they've disqualified me, I close up the window after that. Why should I give any more info after they don't want me? |

|
|
It seems to be a waste as so many surveys ask for my age, sex, income, living situation, marital status etc. etc. I entered all this when I signed up with the panel. Why do I have to keep reentering it everyday? I can understand some validation and when I am referred out to partner site. But the repetiton gets old. Couldn't they ask for a secret password to verify it is me.
I use Google autofill which helps some but rarely fills in all required - like check boxes. |

| OTX is really good for putting in all of your info only to be told you don't qualify. If a site sends me over to them either I'll just click out or humor myself and see how many questions I answer before they tell me to forget it. |

This is pet peeve #2 about this whole survey taking "industry".
I HATE repetition. I'm like you. They have my info already - just use it. Makes too much sense I guess.
Kinda like those questions where they say "type the names of whatever you've heard of" then the next question is a long list of whatevers. Just use the list. Geez. |
