Problems with Surveys??

Hi

Has anyone out there experienced any problems with completing surveys?

I have joined quite a few but recently have found I'm getting screened out more and more often. Ciao has always been a bad one for me but last night i got 75% through their survey before they decided I didn't meet the criteria. Surely this is taking the p***?

Anyone got any ideas or tips on how i can improve my chances and earn some cash?

Thanks

  • For me this is only one worth bothering with - OnePoll.

    There is no set criteria and it is updated quite regular. They pay from £0.10 to £0.50 for each survey and most are only 10-20 questions long. There is also the option to complete surveys to be entered into a prize-draw.

    You also get a £2.50 sign-up bonus.

    £40.00 is the minimum withdrawl amount but from what other users have said, they are very efficient in dealing with your pay reqeust.

    Hi there,

    Ciao are particularly bad for that. My fave is globaltestmarket.com because you get a minimum amount of points even if you don't qualify and they are very frequent. I am about 3/4 of my way towards getting my 2nd £25 this year.

    Just gone up in my estimations are pureprofile who give good rewards and have just started being a bit more frequent and also much much better in paying promptly.

  • Hi I have been doing surveys for god knows how long thinking it might make me a little extra cash hahahaha how wrong was I, I signed up for loads then like you seem to get most of way through before they tell you you're not wanted anymore. The only one I seem to make anything on is Lightspeed.

    Has anyone had problems with home of research?

    Just lately ive completed surveys and been told at the end I completed it too quick and my survey was rejected and therefore wont get paid! Happened the last 3 out of 5 surveys and when I email them Im told nothing they can do as they dont control the surveys. Really annoying

    Ive had this a lot and it annoys me as I do think they do this to get the answers oout of you without payin you!

    Ive especially had it with valued opinions and when I emailed to complain I didnt get paid was told that was because the survey became full whilst I was completing it :confused:

    global test market is a good one, they reward you 5 points if you get screened out, which I think converts to about 10p which is what some surveys pay for completing the whole lot!
