I just spent like 20 - 25 minutes doing a survey about broth and stocks (for cooking) and then it said sorry you did not qualify for this survey and gave me 50 points instead of 1000 the email said I would get. I HATE when surveys do that!

That is the main reason I stopped doing surveys for dear sweet Marie.

I hate that too!!! Greenfield used to do this to me all the time...spend forever doing a survey...almost an hour for a lousy $1.....they can keep it!

Those type of surveys are just crap. Lightspeed and Greenfield use to do that to me - not anymore. I have stopped doing a lot of them except Harris Polls & Buzzback because I know those will at least pay or give points and not "cheat" you with that "you don't qualify crap".

I also hate it when that happens. I have to say, for every bunch that does that, I still do surveys because I enjoy getting checks, amazon gift cards, and merchandise.

this reminds me that I have to go back to that survey company and uncheck the box for allowing phone surveys. two weeks ago someone called from Marie Brighton and did a phone survey with no incentive. :(

My DH was doing one for her today and had the same thing happened. :( He was pretty mad.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never had that problem with her.

I do have to say that I love doing surveys; I'm making almost $200 a month from doing them (I'm counting the ones that pay you with gift cards as well).

I've never heard of that place but have had that same happen so many times that I don't care to do too many surveys these days.

Yeah I had one the other day thank me for completing the survey and then say under it I didn't qualify for it.

You are talking about www.globalopinionpanels.com (AKA Synovate), aren't you? I can't believe they would have the balls to call you and expect you to answer their questions with no promise of incentive. Incentive is why we do these surveys!

yes, that is the one; synovate. It shows up on my caller ID as Marie Brighton. also the emails are addressed from Marie Brighton but when you do the survey, it is synovate.

whatever

I so agree. Lightspeed and greenfield( which I no longer do) are the worst ones about it.
At least synovate gives some points for attempting which is more than some companies do.

That happened to me and they said it was Marie Brighton. I am not going to do phone surveys anymore. Those allow scam artists into your home like what just happened to me with the vacuum salesman. They say do a survey for us when they mean we want to sell you something. It's a way to get their foot in the door.

I get lot of survey invites from Marie but haven't done any. Harris poll did the same long surveys to me with not much reward. I stopped doing those. Wore me out.

I also hate when that happens. Recently I did a survey 60 minute survey for Lightspeed but didn't qualify...sure wish they could have told me that in the beginning.
