I have seen one survey company (can't remember which one) who warms before you start that if they reach the required number of respondents before you finish, you won't get credit, but for the most part, I think it's a way to get info without ponying up the rewards. If it makes you feel any better, this seems to happen far less often than it did when I took surveys 15 years ago. I'd finish one in 20, maybe, and always get kicked off at the end. It's why I quit taking them back then.

This is a place to post ridiculous questions (or at least what you think are ridiculous). I just got one about which of the following things are you likely to buy within the next 12 months. I checked "handbag" because mine is denim and it's getting ragged. The next question was How much do you plan to spend on it? Under $1,000? Over $1,000? Huh? For a purse? (You can tell I don't care if somebody's name or initials are on it.) I try to spend less than $10 for mine, so I checked Under $1,000. Got kicked off. So what questions have given you a chuckle or had you shaking your head lately?

i just got that one too.

i get that too. usually on a blue screen with graphic of a globe...

I hate that " suspected violation"! How in the world can you violate something you haven't even started? And why are you invited if you already took the survey?

I did not do it.

I have not seen them.

Have seen them on several sites over the years , but do not recall the firm doing them. I never do them as they are a waste of time and often , the show or movies is really bad.

I see that or similar periodically. Annoying , but I can live with it.

,"Unfortunately we were unable to record your participation. This may be due to the fact that you already participated in this opportunity or there was a suspected violation of our terms and conditions. You will be redirected to your panel platform." I find this VERY offensive as well as ridiculous as neither accusation is ever correct. This pops up on a blue screen at the beginning of the survey and its happening more and more. Is anyone else seeing this screen MUCH more often recently?

This " required number of respondents has already been reached" happens far too often on so many sites. It's so very frustrating as we've spent so much time and effort and then we get no credit. Happens more and more lately.

I have no experience with this. Sorry

Sign in keeps glitching. Can't login or redeem rewards. Captcha and normal login keeps quick blinking. Notified support numerous times and can't access anything. Said their captcha has been changed to a third party. Really. I just wanted to redeem and quit using mysoapbox. Not what it used to be. What's up with the new advertisements they keep sending me now too?

More grifters, con men & scam artists.

Has anyone gotten a survey from Focus Forward on weight loss, maybe 2 like I did, proceed to answer 20 plus minutes of questions to be told at the end that the required number of responses have already been reached? What a bunch of deceitful miners! How likely is Focus Forward to delete my data since it wasn't needed? Of course not. These snakes have a way of mining our time and data and then refusing to pay and they know we have no way of knowing if their denial is valid or not. I used to have respect for Focus Forward but no longer. I bet they only needed a small number of people's answers but let countless users go ahead and respond. If you don't know or use this group, don't bother.

Watch a movie or a tv show and then rate the show. Which survey sites have surveys like this?

I've gotten that "employed full time" nonsense several times. If they are only looking for people who are employed full time, that's a pretty lame way to do it.

I think so too.

Doing a COVID one now on Lifepoints that is supposed to be 25 minutes. Will see.

I'd never do any survey that was advertised as taking more than 15 minutes (or more than 10 unless I was really bored), unless it was for a particularly juicy-looking product test. The chance of getting screened out midway in (or, sometimes, at the very end) would be just too high.

You might look into Ipsos. I've belonged there for a few months and I don't get many surveys on there, but it could be because of my age. Then sometimes I'll finish three or four. They offered me double points today and a lower cashout threshold. It makes me think that they might be desperate for survey takers. I have noticed that I get their surveys on other survey sites. They do give you points for trying. I recommend looking into them.
