Zoom Panel

So annoyed!!! Just done a survey for Zoom Panel and went through all the questions, about 15 minutes worth and THEN it asked for my sex, age etc and said I didn't fit the profile they were looking for?!!
WHY ASK ME THIS AT THE END???
Sorry but has peed me off! Anyone else getting this problem with them?

    Not had that problem with Zoom, but have with many other companies. Contact them and tell them how you feel. Some companies will just reply with a standard email about not fitting the criteria whilst others send a personal reply with an apology and either credit the points from the survey to your account or credit you some points as a goodwill gesture. Sometimes, not all times, people are wrongly screened out of surveys so I now always contact a company if I feel it was wrong. It's always best to check.

    I wouldn't even bother with Zoom. Rewards are pathetic for the time spent.

    I agree. I gave up on Zoom after I recently completed a 20 minute survey only to find that I had been rewarded with a mere 50 points, which on the basis of 2000 points for a $25 Globogift certificate, amounts to all of 62 cents.

    In fact, there are a number of survey sites where the rewards are now so paltry that it's really not worth wasting your time on their surveys.

    Ciao used to pay a decent reward for each survey but nowadays it's typically 10p which is ludicrous. They do have the occasional better paid survey but, funnily enough, whenever I try to complete one of them, I get screened out. How odd.

    Then there's Toluna where the level of reward for surveys has also plummeted over the past year or so. Again, not really worth bothering with imo.
