  I just did that shitty survey on rewardia about drinking out and it took over 30 minutes and it screened me out at the end. Do not remember what it was paying in the first place (green survey) and I only got 51 points. The other annoying thing is the invitation said it was a short survey. Really annoying.Edited 04-Apr-25 12:57pm

Yes, you have completed the survey in full - you know this because there were no more questions and it told you were finished- but guess what? You were screened out and instead of 1200 points here are 40 points! Beware of the Rest Home survey if you live in NZ! They take your information and screen you out !

  and I bet they use your answers anyway. I just wasted 20 minutes on a survey (a really boring one at that) and I was near the end and it decided to screen me out (for no reason...sometimes it does this because it is full and just boots you before the last round of pointless questions) and I only got 3 cents which is ludicrous for the amount of time I spent answering the stupid questions,

  Felicity - Yeah That on my NZ list was a Silver survey - AS-T468QS at 1737hrs/3r Apr for 769 points. (yes that was about Rest Homes etc but interesting yours was for 1200 points !!! ) - Ummmmmm. Yes I completed and received back "Opps there was an error"...... blah, blah, blah and I was given ZERO points. I currently have sent a message to Rewardia for the FULL points. No doubt Mr AI Rewardia will come back with 40 points and a ... " It's not our fault blah, blah, blah."Edited 03-Apr-25 19:57pm

  You should tell them you completed the survey and to give you your points for them to look into the survey companies because once I tell them they need to look into the survey companies they give me full points

  You may or maynot believe this Elizabeth but my account just in the last few minutes has now been credited with the FULL points. whether that is a result of my communication with them, who knows. Have to say I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that full point allocation. Onward and upward.

  surveys tend to slow down after Friday and are awful by Monday (Australian time) and horrible over public holidays/Christmas/Easter. There is generally a surge of lots of surveys prior to major holidays as the companies that organise them won't be "working" to send anything more or anything new.

Surveys are so rude!!! As people we are told to respect that NO means NO but surveys don't have such manners. I am so tired of being asked by a survey that I have not qualified for "would you like to continue" and you say NO but it continues to more qualifications anyway. I have been stung when I have said YES in the past and the survey has NOT credited because the link has expired or it took too long to give you a survey so it thought you were going too slow therefore it screens you out and either does not pay or comes up with an error.

Good for you for putting in a claim for it. Good luck. Unfortunately, I never take screenshots of the page that lists the survey and I never take screenshots of the survey to prove that I have been in it as some surveys think that you are stealing their information and will screen you out/not credit you/bar you from future surveys as they think you are some sort of corporate spy ROFL.

I really don't understand why they need to watch us watch ads or watch us fill out a survey. There should ALWAYS be an opt out button within the survey for when you don't have working equipment or you have changed your mind. I also hate the ones that want your NMI, flybuys/Woolies Everyday Rewards etc membership numbers.

Not really "ridiculous", but one of the biggest pains in the backside is when you go all the way through the third-party survey, only to be told by the survey points host that you were "screened out" ... no, I wasn't screened out, I completed the whole survey, it said I completed the survey, but the third-party people obviously put the wrong return link into their 'completed' forwarding addresses.😠Edited 25-Mar-25 12:21pm

	Ridiculous things in survey land

	This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen so far while attempting to do a survey. After filling out all the prequalifcation (and being "slow" as I know panel station will reject your survey on prescreen even when you are slow so going SUPER SLOW while filling in a/s/e/l questions gives you a 50/50 chance of PERHAPS getting the survey), I encountered the following error when filling in the craptcha: RECaptcha error. Over Enterprise free quota. Please ensure your project has an active billing account: https://cloud.google.com/recaptc ha-enterprise/billing-information What a bunch of cheapskates to only be using free craptchas when they send out so many surveys and most of them fail you before you can get to them. They are also cheapskates for what they pay you for a survey most of the time so what is their problem? ROFL. Do you have any ridiculous things to add from your experience?
