VO - back to old tricks or is it just me

Options
It's ages since this happened so I thought the survey companies had stopped the practice. Have just filled in masses of info about which make-up I buy and use and which shops I buy it in etc, only to get the dreaded 'we have enough applicants etc etc' message. This hasn't happened to me for ages with VO - I either get screened out near the beginning or see it right through. I so object to giving away information like this! I did once complain to VO when it used to happen a lot, and it seemed to have lessened.

Just wondered if anyone else has done that survey or had a recent similar experience? If so, I'm going to start complaining again if it seems to be happening frequently.

    Yes, it's happening to me too. I had the make-up one and then was screened out.
    I'm very close to the £10 cash out with VO and if (ever) I can get the last 50p I need, I think I will close my account down. I'm a bit fed up with spending 15 minutes plus answering questions just to get screened out and paid nothing!

    I got the makeup one too, answered loads of questions then got screened out. Did anybody manage to complete without screening out?

    I just get screened out straight away after saying I'm female or single and have no children. I used to get a voucher every couple of months from VO but now I'm lucky to get one a year. Check your accounts too as I've just emailed about several "completed but reward pending" surveys from several months ago. I also noticed I have some "completed but not paid" in my account too.

    I had gone a year without any... then went through a spate of signing up and updating all my profiles to various survey sites... and I've made a fiver on VO over the last three days!
    Just need to wait for them to clear and then I can withdraw it :)

    I just joined VO and had 5 surveys in as many days - I think I did get screened out once but early on. Maybe they lure in new members like this and then I'll get nothing for ages! Up to about £7 now although I guess it takes a while for the £ to track through.

    I got screened-out on 3/5 VO surveys this week. Some of the ones I completed still don't show on my account 5 days on. Can't wait to get to cash-in, then I can bale and go elsewhere.
