Seems to be working okay today maybe they fixed the issue

I've had deeply frustrating DQ experiences in the last few days, both of which happened after I'd successfully completed long surveys. E.g., I completed a Harris survey after having spent 22 minutes on it. Page after page after page of questions about Covid-19 and about the company Intel and politics and I did it successfully, completing it, including many pages of demographics at the end. Is it the demographics that cause this? If so, why do they put these questions at the END of a survey, rather than the beginning? Then, this morning. I took a long Ipsos survey which sent me in a simulated shopping trip to buy a computer. A very long survey which included a little psychological exercise which asked me to select five mood images from a long list of them and then explain why those images reflected my experience of buying the computer. At the end, this survey did not even return to the originating survey site; instead, I got the message of death from Samplicio.us: "Unfortunately, you haven't qualified for any surveys at this time. We hope you'll try again later." Both these surveys I accessed through Point Club. I wrote to PC about the first incident and you know what they said? ""For sure, it feels time was wasted when disqualification happens after spending 22 minutes. But we should take it as an inspiration in completing further more surveys." Grumpy's correct. We need a bill of rights for survey takers.

Stank.

Yes, was just meaning to post that I got an email from them saying whatever it was (they didn't say!) was fixed. So seems to be okay for me now.

Smelly

It happens. Just part of the game, really. It was getting out of hand with Opinion Outpost and that's why I dropped them a few months ago. On the other sites I use, it's here and there so it's not too bad. If you find it happening repeatedly, you gotta move on. It's not worth your aggravation.

Don't know what's going on there with you, NevadaJones. I just gave it a try and was able to complete a survey w/o an issue. I use Chrome.

Garbage.

I am happy to report that my money was transferred to my bank account and only took one day after they finally fixed the wallet site. Transfer probably takes longer if you do it on a friday or weekend.

I completely agree, it is fraud and they make lots of money from it. Had more of the same today, I have lost count of the amount of surveys disqualifying me after 20+ questions. What really annoys me is when they ask you countless questions, then you get one which asks you for a certain brand, and if you don't pick that specific brand, you are screened out. Why don't they ask you that first, instead of 20 or so questions in. That wait, when the survey stops, and you just know what is coming is horrendous, I can slowly feel my blood boiling up! At least the phone didn't end up in pieces HA

So sorry this happened to you. It totally sucks. I can relate. Pretty much on a daily basis, there is at least one survey that I spend over 15 minutes on that either tells me I’m not qualified at the very end, or doesn’t route me back to the survey site I was logged in with. It pisses me off to no end, because I feel my time is precious, and I don’t like anyone wasting my time. I agree that these survey sites need an overhaul by the government. There should be a regulatory agency that is in charge of just the survey sites. They sure would be busy! It’s downright fraud, waste, and abuse that these survey sites are committing. It’s absolutely appalling.
