    Okay....so I just took a survey about coffee and iced tea. Took me 15 minutes to finish...when I clicked on submit, it told me they already had enough participants for this survey and to try another one. YOU MEAN THEY COULDN'T TELL YOU THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SURVEY???? They are quick to disqualify you because your income is not want they want, or your the wrong ethnicity, or you pick the wrong medical condition so why cant they tell you that??? Why doesn't WGT survey these people and make some rules about these surveys???

    I want to give you a little background on how market research works; market researchers administer surveys to users in hopes of reaching specific demographics of people.  If you do not meet the specific niche they are looking for, you will get screened out or disqualified.  They look at anything from age, geographic location, gender, interests, products you've recently bought, how big your family is, ethnicity, etc.  Advertisers can also limit the number of respondents they want to participate in a specific survey, so if this number is reached you will receive a "closed" message when attempting to open it.  

    Surveys also work in real time, meaning you can get disqualified/screened out at any point of the survey; your answers are never taken unless you are fully qualified and are credited.  Some companies give users a small amount of points for attempting a survey, but this is not a requirement and not every researcher does this.  Moving forward, please expect to be screened out of surveys as this is part of the market research process.

    I do enough of these to understand what you say--but I have multiple health issues--and enter various ones--all real--and have NEVER qualified for one--and they tempt you with high credit payouts if you do one--does anyone ever actually qualify??  Or is this like the rabbit at the greyhound track?
