OK, surveys are really turning into a joke

  I think I am done trying to take surveys...you click on a "survey for all" only to be disqualified from the survey. OK I can understand not qualifying for a survey...but then please do not call it a "survey for ALL"!

  Or you get at least halfway through a survey and get a "sorry, you do not qualify" or "this survey is closed" type of comment. So you get a whopping 5 credits...maybe.

  Or you simply don't advance to the next screen after answering a question. End of that survey.

  And some of the surveys appear to have been written by people to whom English is obviously not their first language.

  Tired of wasting my time.

  Thanks for replying, TopShelf. I've been playing for about a year here and have never once opened my wallet, and I think I've done a pretty good job of upgrading my clubs without having to spend a dime. Maybe both of us should brag lol.

  But it's just been getting worse and worse with the surveys lately. I don't mind not being qualified to take a survey, of course the people running them want specific qualifications...I am just really tired of getting halfway or more through and then find out, oh we're sorry you don't qualify.

  It just looks like forking over a few bucks might be the way to go now.

  I'm also tired of answering the same questions over and over IN THE SAME SURVEY...like your age, marital status, income, etc. Someone at WGT needs to talk to the companies that are providing these surveys and tell them to improve their survey methods. Many of them seem to be written by someone in a third world country...example "Are you auto decision maker"? Huh?

  Decision time:

  "Which worth has my time?"

  Perhaps there's better things to do (and earn some money?) than getting scammed by the surveys(?)

  Perhaps a better decision can be found in finding ways to cut the credit usage.

  Is it feasible to switch to the free or 10 credit per sleeve ball from the 43 credit per sleeve ball you're using now?

  Consider playing fewer games per day. Videos alone might supply enough credits for an entertaining game or two per day while you find more rewarding things to do with the extra free time.

  Well ironically one of the reasons I'm taking surveys - make that TRYING to take them - is to be able to use better balls than the 43 credit ones. And also to play in 100 credit bracket matches.

  Considering playing fewer games a day should not be an option I should have to consider. For what it's worth, I can afford to pay for credits, so that is not an issue. But if I can get them "free", hey lol.

  I just feel that possibly the WGT people should consult with their survey providers to help make the survey taking experience more enjoyable for their customers. That would benefit both WGT and the survey companies.

  Thanks for the suggestions though!
