  Scoton:

  I have been burned the same way by Qualtrics surveys at least twice, and am now boycotting them.

  I just did a Qualtrics survey on vacation travel for 120 credits and got my credits. There are several attention check questions you have to answer correctly or you get booted from the survey. I suspect some of the problems people are having is because they are missing these attention check questions.

  I used to do Survey's and make a few credits here and there. 120-200 a good amount of the time. Once I even got 935 credits. But about 2-3 months ago I started getting zero to 5 credits most of the time. Once this started happening i stopped doing all survey's, they are to much of a waste of time.

  After reading this thread, I went and did 6 surveys. Took me a little over 10 minutes. I got 15 credits.

  Also, stay away from Univox and Tap Research surveys. 

  Normally, if you get past the initial pick survey screen, if you screen out, you get 5 credits for your time. Not with these two! They keep sending you to other surveys, getting bits of info for free, and you NEVER even get one 5 credit award, although they have tested you for half a dozen surveys.

  Plus, recently, Peanut Lab surveys ask for your full name and address. WTF? Surveys are supposed to be anonymous. Like I really want these people sending me junk mail or looking up my phone number so I can get endless trash phone calls from India and Pakistan. 

   

  WTG should NEVER allow ANY survey that asks for name, address or e-mail info.

  Most of the one that as for that information also have a button that says something similar to "I do not wish to reveal that information. Click on that button. And many times doing that you get to finish a survey that otherwise you might get screened out of.
