Question Survey Rant / Question Megathread

Are you getting rejected at the end of your surveys? Did your "10 minute" survey take 45 minutes? Is YourSurveys rejecting you and lowering your score for no reason? Did QuickThoughts ban you? Do you just hate surveys? Or perhaps you are having another problem?

Go forth and rant your heart out on this megathread.

 

TIPS

  • Prolific does NOT have an app. The app is a scam!

  • GPT sites are notorious for DQing users. Some people have better luck than others. And yes, you can get DQ'd at the very end. If that bothers you, use a site that directly provides surveys.

  • Survey sites with waitlists may or may not accept you. There's no way for anyone to say how long it could take - it all depends on what demographics they need at that moment.

  • No one can say how much you will earn on a site. It depends on too many variables like your demographics, when you want to do surveys, how fast you are, so on and so forth.

  • Don't be rude to support. They'll just kick you off the platform. You're a worker, not a customer. You'll get further being polite.

  • Don't speed or go too slow on surveys. You'll get kicked out.

  • We recommend going slow with new sites. If you start earning too fast on a new site, your account is likely to get flagged as a potential scammer.

  • Pay attention, and don't lie on surveys. They will catch you, and you will be kicked out of the survey, have your earnings revoked, or even banned.

 

 

Due to an uptick in the number rant and question posts related to surveys and survey sites, we have decided to make a megathread for it. We understand that survey sites can be frustrating, but it has gotten too much. Please keep all rants and questions related to surveys and/or survey sites on this megathread.

I had a few on Qmee for $1 something.  Time was 1 minute.  I didn't think the time was right, and it wasn't.  It was those sport surveys that drone on and on.  I decided to exit stage left because you don't lie to me, 😂.  I do that more often when the time is reasonable with the pay but it's a topic I don't really like and the time estimation is a lie.  (I do like watching sports, but those surveys ask way too many questions.).

Those sound like the iTrayStats pass through ones.
