Yes, the surveys are a rip off:
1. Narrow demographic knocks out most folks over 40 yrs old.
2. Always take 2x or more longer to complete than stated, if you do qualify.
3. Increase your chances of junk mail and security issues.
4. Never state right out front who sponsored the survey.
... a huge waste of time.
I have completed many surveys and have found that
1 Although most surveys by nature search for certain demographic I can find surveys that I will fit into most of the time.
2 The time issue can be related to the way questions are posed and normally how fast I answer the questions normally I finish a "15 Minute" survey in the allotted time.
3 I do not recieve spam emails and have not had issues with the sponsors of the surveys.
4 The survey company and info appears normally on the first page of the survey
Finally TRIAL PAY is a middle man in the process just as is WGT, I recently had an issue with a 450 credit survey. After a POLITE email to trial pay my credits were received. Trail pay reviewed my survey and issued credits even though at the end like you the survey said "you did not qualify. I believe that trial pay is trying to weed out the bad survey companies.
