I have been doing surveys for a long time. It seems to me that most of the questions on surveys are actually a lot of repetition and babbling. With that in mind, how do the writers of surveys expect to get any useful data or information?

When we are routed from one survey to another and yet another we are repeatedily asked the same qualifying questions. And then if/when we actually get to take a survey we are asked yet again. So much is garbage, time-wasting, and repetitive. Part of the "game* as long as we choose to take surveys. Sigh "

I agree. There is too much 'chewing the fat' rather than focusing on specific themes. Surveys can get the information from one question when they seem to prefer splitting the question into 5-7 parts, being very redundant. I suspect survey writers are paid for the length of their creations, so whenever they can 'pad' the length they will stuff it as full as they can.

Repeating the same questions over and over again. And also asking questions that have no relevance to the topic of the survey. And if you have never seen any of that, I'd sure like to know what sites you go to!

Been with them for 20 years. Started when they were still MySurvey. Maybe not as many surveys , but at least a steady supply. Always follow the rules and have never had account issues that I can recall.

This may ease the pain someone what. Set a daily goal for the amount you wish to reach and get there as soon as possible. Go with shorter surveys, those listed 20 minutes or less. Go to panels that you have predetermined that you have a better chance of qualifying for a survey Panels like Survey Junkie and Inbox Dollars would not be among those. I hear a lot of complaints about Qmee but it is one of my best producers. Go with their shorter surveys, that way you don;t have so much time invested if they disqualify you at the end, then quickly move to the next survey. Don't waste your time emailing and complaining to the panels. Also learn to identify which surveys are less like to kick you out, Qualtrics and SKIM are two examples. There are others. You want to move as fast as you can to reach your goal. Work smart, don't take a survey just because it is there. Develop some knowledge and you will be able to determine which surveys to take and which to avoid. My goal is 5 dollars a day and it usually takes me about 2 to 2 half hours to get here. My goal used to be 10 but that had me spending more time on the computer than I was comfortable with. I hope this helps.

Same here, have wanted to give up for ages, but the little bit of money helps, so I too keep coming back, maybe if our wages went up or the cost of living went down, we wouldn't have too

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I totally understand where you're coming from. You're not alone. I'm to the point where I'm only doing surveys from Prolific and Paid Viewpoint, because they don't screen you out. I've pretty much given up on the rest of them. I'm sick of having my time wasted.

I never purchase greeting cards an was accepted. It's not a lot of work if you don't purchase cards and gifts and things. It's basically like free money to me. You fill out a survey at the end of each period , answer some poll questions and log in when they ask you to. It just takes 2-3 minutes.

I tried to cash out yesterday and noticed that a lot of the gift cards are now a minimum of $25. That will take me a while to get to.
