Rip Off Survey

  Anyone else experienced this? 

  I have just spent the best part of an hour completing a survey that appeared on the 'get credits' ' take surveys' tab.

  It was a really in depth survey about outdoor pursuits, clothing and footwear. When i finally got to the end of it, a message appeared saying they already had the required number of replies. Obviously I have not received the credits

  WGT should withdraw these things from the page once they are no longer valid.

  Maybe everyone else finish in 30 minutes. That is way to long to spend on any survey.

  Damn right it is!

  I've whizzed throgh all the other surveys I've done in 15 - 20 minutes tops.

  This sucker was like reading  War & Peace, so it was doubly annoying to be gypped at the end.

  Almost every survey has a limited # of responses that will be accepted. If that number is reached before you finish your survey you will get that message. It does suck but it happens to all of us at one time or another. Sure maybe they should accept it if you completed it but most survey companies that when they reach the limit.

  And it is not WGT or even Peanut labs that makes that decision. It is  the company that actually is running the survey.

  Regardless of the amount expected:

  Wouldn't ev1 be able to earn more with honest work or - no pun intended - by simple begging on the street?

  As you say: Rip off survey!

  In that case, a well known outdoor clothing/ footwear company from New England score 0/10 from me.
