Well, I'm comforted to see that I'm not the only one that had issues with the yogurt survey. I really think that there must be something just wrong with it for so many of us to be tossed out at the very end.

On another note, did anyone get booted from an appliance survey today? I'd gotten to the part that said I'd qualified and then when it was supposed to begin loading the ads, I got sent back to the SR page instead. It wasn't as frustrating as the yogurt survey because I hadn't invested nearly as much time into it, but I'm wondering why it would say "you've been accepted" and then booted me out. I was v-e-r-y s-l-o-w with my answers (even read thru things twice), so I don't think that I answered too quickly. And I'm always truthful with my responses.

But I got my survey for the day right afterwards, so I guess that's all that matters in the long run.

Yep, both my DH and I got booted out of the appliance survey at the same point you did. I was very odd, as after having us accepted into the survey, then asking us to agree to privacy, then a page about what we'd be reviewing..........BAMMMMMM............kicked out! I agree, I think it was a weird place to decide to kick you out.

My DD just spent 25 minutes on a survey about yogurt. Got through all of the classification questions and was then told she did not qualify for the survey. Watch out for this one.

I had the same experience with the yogurt survey and I was also booted after putting in caucasion. I really resent giving them all my feedback on the product then getting rejected. I guess I should have read here first.

Okay, after I got kicked out of the yogurt survey for being white I got the appliance one - got kicked out at the same point as the others. Couldn't get one after that so hubby ended up getting one on cars - over an hour - he wasn't happy but at least I'm 2/2 so far.

Oh, I so wish that I had checked this thread before trying a survey today!! I rarely even try anymore, because it really has been such a waste of my time since I so rarely get in.

So I figured I'd give it a shot today because I have a little time, and I thought since it is still the beginning of the month that I woulu maybe have more luck.

i felt myself very lucky to get into a survey on the second try, and you guessed it, it was about yogurt!!! AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!! I wish I hadn't bothered! I really like yogurt, and I take the surveys seriously....so I want through the whole thing really taking my time, as I always do, then 20-25 min later I get bumped out to the do not qualify page after answering that I am caucasion, like many others, it seems.

I am really furious at the moment! While the surveys can be a great way to make credits on SR, I think I have to just give up at this point, because I just end up mad every time, and it's not worth the increase in my blood pressure just for the $.80!

By the way, this is in no way a vent against SR in any way....I LOVE SR, but I am sick of these survey companies who take advantage of us "willing" participants just trying to ake a buck!

Oh, I wish I had posted about the yogurt survey last night. Also once I clicked Caucasian.

Since it was the first survey I had tried for in awhile (only did 4 in Jan) I ended up figuring that I had gone too fast, so I didn't post.

Dangit, I was intrigued by the product, too, but now I feel negative about it. Grr.

FWIW, I don't think that the survey site retains our data when we get dumped out like that. Until we hit the submit button, I think that the responses just stay in limbo. I'm not angry with them because I don't think that they got what they were after either. My frustration is soley directed at the amount of time that I spent for nothing - no 80 cents for me, no data for the survey group and no money for SR.

Your not alone, I also got the appliance one and got booted out when i was supposed to get the ads.

DITTO- should have read here first. i'm REALLY mad about this one.

not sure if this is the right place, if it is not sorry.

i just finished the daily survery. i went all the way thru it. (this was not to see if i qualified, it was the actual survey) so any way i do the survey and it says i have finished the survery and thank you, blah blah.

anyway to make the story short, i get back to the sr page, it says it does appear that you did not qualify for the survey. any thoughts on this?

i know i took the real survey, this is not like the otx where you spent 15 minutes answering questions and then they tell you, you don't qualify. this was the survey. is this normal?

i will admit, it is very upsetting, to finally get qualified and complete the survey, and to find out that i won't even get credit for it.

any inputs? has this happened to others?

[eaglesdare]

i too should have read this! i just posted about this under technical troubles, as i thought maybe that was what it was.

i too very rarely even try to do a survey any more, because i just takes up too much time, to not qualify. then today i get the yogurt one and finish it just to be told i did not qualify even after i completed the stuped survey.
