    haha brilliant!

    I got to the very end of a survey on real ale, it said finally it would ask my age and location then it said I didn't qualify! It's a con because they had all my information before saying this. I think I was on about 95%. Is it worth putting in a complaint to swagbucks? Do they ever do anything about these cons?

    Thankfully I got another surbey for 70sb but that's not the point.

    I don't think it's worth complaining because I don't think Swagbucks can do anything. I wonder if they do actually do get the information whilst we do the surveys because quite often the very last page of these surveys says something like 'submit' and I would have thought it would be at that stage that the survey gets sent to the company. Also sometimes if you get DQd from a survey it does say 'your answers will be discarded'. I've tried to find out from google what happens but have had no joy so far. Sometimes, you can be DQd because of a test (trick) question, and also if the quota is filled while you are doing the survey, that will DQ you before you finish the survey too. I think it's an annoying thing that we will have to live with :(

    Yeah, I do get it when you are DQd even at the end of the survey but in this instance, it said I wasn't even eligible, due to my age and location, something they should have checked before I spent 20 minutes answering their stupid questions!

    I have put up with it before but for some reason it annoyed me more than usual! But you're right, jus something we have to live with.

    97/100 so not too unhappy!

    The same happened to me:(. I also got a really nice survey in the Daily Surveys about smells and taking part in an on-line discussion for 5 days next week about nice and not so nice smells but got DQ'd for not having a Paypal account (it was also paying £75 as well as SBs):(

    Oh I didn't notice you got £75 as well as swagbucks for that. I turned it down as it seemed like too much effort:o

    With regard to getting DQd on surveys, I did find this interesting article from a survey company which does give some in-depth explanations as to why people get DQd. I did post the link on the previous thread, but here it is again for anyone that's interested (I hope it's OK to post it on here):-

    There are quite a few things in that article that I didn't realise, so I hope it will of help to everyone
