Qmee surveys ending after answering for 5 mins?

Been using this and now getting annoyed of declined half way through doing them, any tips? People claim to make £55 a month but i hardly believe that.

    I guess that's possible for some but I imagine not many. And also, expect they're checking for surveys religiously.  If I can get to about £20 a month, then I'd say around £50 is possible on a good month for a hardcore survey taker.   Also, depends on what they do for work / are in the right demographics etc.  Also, they're probably taking advantage of the streaks. Mine seem to always be around 1-2am.
    As for being kicked out after 5 mins, I've had worst days.  Just something you have to deal with with surveys.  If the quota fills up before you finish, then it can happen too or if the survey is reported by others then they get taken down.  I wish more surveys paid you something after getting screen out at the start. Get those occasionally.

    I find it hard to believe someone can make £55 a month from one single survey site as a long term survey taker..
    Late DQ is very annoying but it doesnt happen to me frequently. I think Qmee had a mechanism where you could report the survey for late DQ

  • Hi Alex
    You just have to keep pugging away.  A couple of your other posts look as if you are looking for ways to make money online, what have you been trying?  If you tell us what you want to hopefully earn, how long you have to spare, maybe people can make a few suggestions?

    They do have a support team but they fairly useless. Even when you provide screen shots showing completion it's rare that they credit you. Part of their response when you raise an issue is to direct you to their blog article ( http://blog.qmee.com/survey-payment-update/  ) which tells you you may receive payment at a later date when the client has analysed the data received. I've found this to be BS.

    I've never managed to make anything like £55 on Qmee and have found it deteriorating recently. More and more late screenouts and lower paying than it used to be. I think I'll be moving on from it in the near future. I don't have an issue being screened out at the start of a survey but I have a big problem with not being paid when I've completed it.

    Hi Alex
    The surveys can be frustrating when you start them,  but don't give up.  I don't agree with a couple of the other comments made about how much you can earn, it is about how you approach things. 
    I have not had problems contacting Qmee when a 'glitch' happened and I didn't get paid, I've had 2 this week that they later agreed I finished and paid me.  
    If you want me to PM you a few tips to help, I am happy to do so.  I won't post them on here as I have found sometimes it opens a 'can of worms' and I would rather spend my time making a few quid.

    I used to make about £50 a month from Qmee surveys but that was doing half an hour every morning before starting work.  It does seem that the surveys are now not as valuable and they take longer and do screen you out after you've spent quite a bit of time on them.
    I now use Prolific mainly and made £30 last month from that.

    The Qmee ones are exactly the same as curious cats & have same problems.
    I've had several that have 'timed out' when you click to finish button. Then you report it & they don't do anything 
  • I've found if you email them instead of using the report button they're pretty good at crediting your account and respond to emails pretty quickly
