    I never used My Paid Opinion, however Valued Opinions, Global test markets are good for many people - unfortunately, some profiles are more suitable than others.

    I wouldn't call them a con as most of us get paid successfully but perhaps your profile needs a overhaul?
    Thanks for reply. I may check my profile but cannot see that it needs much tweeking. Maybe I just done't have a suitable fit for most of the surveys but that I can accept to a point - it is when I spend ages filling the survey in to THEN be told "Sorry, you are not suitable" right at the end of the survey. This is what I meant buy a con as they have all the answers they need without payment.

    This happens to me every now and then, mostly on Swagbucks and I agree it is frustrating :(
    However experiencing it often is odd!

    From what i have seen on reddit by people who help program surveys, the reason for getting kicked out near the end is often going too quick, or contradicting yourself in 2 of the answers. They calculate how long it takes to read all the questions and allow time to think about an answer. The problem is that many of the early questions are the same on many surveys, so people click the answer quickly. I found that by counting to 12 before clicking the next page that i get DQ'ed far less near the end.
