That's right. I just did a 25 minute survey for a lousy 50 cents, only to get to the end of the survey and be told they have their quota for the day. Why not just close that survey then? Because they just want to collect free information from people. So I just wasted my time, and I find that other survey sites seem to be like this nowa days. Are there any decent survey sites out there these days? Please tell us about experiences that you have had with InBoxDollars or other survey sites.

I had joined a number of survey sites, and have spent a lot of time on them. But, I don't do that any more these days. It has just been a huge waste of time. Every time I take a survey, at some point down the road, the message will come up saying that I am not qualified. That's just too disappointing.

Yup that is what I am saying. Just a waste of time. I was just trying to make a few extra cents because my other site has been down a day and a half now.

Thats one BIG reason I stopped doing surveys. Way too much of my valuable time for nothing. Even the screening questions take time only to find out you dont qualify. That was happening to me a lot. The only survey site I do when absolutely bored is Clixsense Research and the only reason why I do these is because they PAY me for my time! Even if you dont qualify, you will be paid 10 to 20 cents for each survey. I have been paid twice already. The only thing is they dont pay in cash but gift cards. They do offer some time of credit card but thats not for me. Good luck at finding a good survey site.

I feel like writing to the Admin and asking how a person does qualify. I have been on line at home for about twelve years. I have gone through dozens of survey sites. If I try five times and i don't qualify then I go on. There are a few good ones out there but it takes some work to find them.

No, most survey sites are like this. They know people are hurting and need extra money. So they can get away with it. I have never really had a problem with inbox dollars as to where I would do a whole survey and then they say I do not qualify. I have had this problem with others like global test market. Dollarsurvey.net has been terrible lately as I have down 3 surveys in the past week and a half, where I completed the whole thing and then they say "sorry you do not qualify." Then to get paid, I seem to have to email them every couple weeks to get my money. Your best bet is stick to the ones that tell you how long each survey takes. Try to find the ones that will give you a dollar for 10 minutes of your time. That still is only average 6 dollars a hour but that is about the best you will find. I did finally get one from opinion outpost that gave me 20 dollars for doing a online focus group that took just a little bit over a hour. That is why a lot of people will tell you making money online is like slave labor If you ever go to one of those sites like v workers you will be amazed at what you find. I see on their they have website designers, software developers jobs on their where they average a little over 3 dollars a hour. This is because they have so many people bidding for these jobs. It is crazy to put that much work into something and get paid so little. Then the amount of time you have to put into it just to try to get one of those jobs is also crazy. I guess people have to do what they have to do. You just wish there was some better way.
