Vent away. I was just dealing with this. I was at least 10 minutes into a survey, thought I was going to complete it when I suddenly got "please wait while you are redirected.." and then taken back to the main site where I was told I don't qualify. As much as it annoys me to be told automatically I don't qualify or very early on when answering the screening questions, I'd rather it be that way instead of spending all this time only to be screened out. Really frustrating.

You are allowed to vent over this. I hate getting to the end and being told they already have their quotas. I am also noticing that after a few surveys questions that I am given the boot once they get enough info from me. And I agree, I am sure they use the info they have and they get out of paying.

That happens to me way to often also and I don't believe for a minute they toss your answers into the trash

Bal and dawn_b_adams Thanks for your replies as misery loves company! :(

Yes, I also experience this on a daily basis. I get so angry and want to email the site and cuss them out, tell them they can stick it where the sun don't shine. This is why I have cut down on the amount of time I will spend doing surveys. It sucks to work on a lengthy boring tedious survey, only to have that alert come up at the end. I have dumped so many survey sites because of this. Most of these sites shouldn't even be in business. They should be criminally prosecuted and shut down.

I am just so sick and tired of completing a survey and then not getting credit for its completion. After I've wasted my time taking the survey it infuriates me to get the message " We are sorry, but you don't qualify" or " We've reached our quota", or better yet " This survey is now closed." This has been happening to me much more now than in the past and it's infuriating. I hate wasting my time. Besides I sometimes think this message pops up because they don't want to pay yet they want to use the info you've given them. Thanks for listening to my vent. Anyone else experiencing this frustration now more than ever??

“if you successfully complete it, your account will be credited with 0.00 GBP” So absolutely nothing (at least it would have been 1 minute)

thanks everyone! Misery loves company!!!

One thing I have been seeing lately , especially on Lifepoints , are surveys listing for a set number of points , but crediting for less at completion. Most recent was a 100 point one that gave only 75 points at completion. Anyone else seeing this?

I had that the other day also

I experience this on a daily basis. It makes my blood boil and have very nearly threw my phone at the wall on many occasions. Had one yesterday, awful boring survey that I was 10mins in, got that dreaded wait for the next screen to load and you know it's coming, bang, screened out! That's what is so annoying, you complete the survey and you generally have no idea if you will get the reward or not at the end, that is so wrong. Most survey companies are a bunch of con artists and I despise them for wasting our time.

100% spot on. They must get tons of free data from us yearly, as this happens to me on a daily basis and lots of others as well. When you message these survey companies, they always say that they can choose to use your data or not, what a scam that is. So I work, use my time all in the hope I will get paid, that is completely wrong and should be illegal. As you put, nothing is done about it, something needs to be done about this though.

Mining data and then not paying is exactly what they are doing b/c they know we have no way to prove otherwise. Would they work for the chance of being paid? I think not. This is another example of corporations making large profits on the backs of us little people. If anyone has any clout with their elected officials, suggest to Congress that they enact legislation to hold these companies' feet to the fire and make them pay. My experience with the BBB is they are paltry bark and no bite.
