  just started a survey and it directed me to another page, once I completed the survey that page thanked me, then it rediredted me back to the original page and said sorry you didn't quilify for any survey. I get tired of completeing the surveys and always ends with I didn't qualify.

  Not found many that have not done just that, take the survey 15 to some just over 30 minutes get to the end it will show a message "thank you for taking the time to participate in the survey" to never getting the points.

  Go back after clearing everything history, cookies to get - "you have completed this survey please come back another time" or "we have no survey for you at this time".

  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.

  1) I am 60 years old and have no problem getting surveys.

  2) Perhaps you spend too long deciding your answers.

  3) No increase in junk mail or security, perhaps you have poor anti-spam.

  4) Why does it matter?

  ... earns enough credits so you never need to part with any cash.

  One survey the first question was, "are you male or female". After I clicked female it said "Sorry, you didn't qualify" lol. I even tried to take male the next time but also then I got didn't qualify. I have only done one survey successfully and got 150 credits but after tha tone everything has screwed up.

  ive made about 400+ credits from surveys. It tooks a while before being able to do a survey that paid but it did happen. Toluna haven't given me the 150 for registering with them, but i have emailed them about it and other players have told me they got the credits.

  Surveys are a way of making some credits. I wish going up Tiers paid more. When you consider succesfully completing a Daily Survey can give  75c the Tier advancement credits seem really low. The best i have done in a tournament gave me $4.50c so completing an annoying survey that gives 8 credits is perhaps fair payment for the chore.

  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.
