Oh my........getting so fed up. I'm starting to believe some surveys are 'timing out' just so they don"t have to pay you.
I watch the time before I start a survey to keep an eye on my return on investment, I get pretty close to the time they suggest it will take and it sudden times out as their quota has been reached. So far earnings are low and I'm getting really frustrated.
So many surveys telling me I'm not suitable after spending 10-15 minutes doing them. Is it just me......am I doing something wrong?

Welcome to the world of Surveys.

Don't want to get screened out / paid peanuts and want to earn more?

Do higher paying work... :):):):)

Tried Roamler yesterday, they claimed there were 6 'metres' of tea in Tesco when there were only 5.
I did pass GCSE Maths so know how to count ;)

I'm sure I'll be fine as soon as I get over the nerves of being a mystery shopper.

In all seriouness Surveys are the lowest paying work out there.

I saw someone on Instagram last night getting excited about making 10p from a survey and how it all 'add up!'

If I got paid for starting them I'd be alright but they keep timing out....sure I'd be at about £10 in 60p surveys if they paid out anyway. clearly too many 41 year old women doing surveys!

Branded surveys pay for screen outs. Pinecone and YouGov don't screen out at all. Have you tried Prolific Academic? They pay very well, don't screen out and are far more interesting than standard surveys.

Its not just you that gets screened out. It may be best to find sites that are good payers and limiting your time to them. There are a lot I will stop doing once I have reached payout.

There is some survey site don't screen you out at the middle, like YouGov, prolific. But they have very limited survey, I only treat as a relax for a day and maybe one day I will have some cash out of it.

Too right. It takes ages to get enough credit to build up for a payout. Some I’ve been collecting for years and nothing and now when I try to log in they’ve cancelled my account :(

As I said above I honestly think it's natural to feel frustration with this work.

If you choose to do surveys you are doing some of the mind number / lowest paid / time-consuming work there is online.

the fact that you may or may not get paid at the end of it is just the kicker!!
