Those that are retired are 'self emplyed'. Its all in the interpretation

Yer u gotta laugh, why wud a CEO need to do suveys wud b my q. Lol

I agree. I am also retired and have no children at home. I have a list of surveys that I was screened out of. I have several that I completed and they are on the incomplete list. I sent an email with the information to claim my points and was told I needed to submit a screenshot. I went back to the list and 2 were removed but the points were not added. Waste of time.

I have become very choosy about the surveys I do. Some of their questions are so stupid, you would think a total imbecile has written them. There are some good survey companies out there, but you have to spend some time finding them.

Being retired seems to screen you out of a lot of surveys. I’ve pretty much stopped even trying to do them.

i find that if you do not have a certain job with these surveys - you get screen out. but most of us may not have direct input in decsion making in certin areas but we all do use them(it, commutation/equipment etc) and our bosses do listen to what we say but they make the final decision. but we do use and have a say about these things

i have always been able to do surveys when too high,, YMMV ;-))

I've been doing surveys for about 15 yrs. I get screened out on many but I don't give up. It gives me spending money on Amazon and PayPal. I'm retired also. Don't expect to get even half of the surveys you start. Enjoy the ones you do get to complete.

Totally agree... At times this puts you off doing surveys, being constantly scanned out can make you feel worthless.

Agree

Agreed..

I AM 74 I LOST MY WIFE OF 52 YEARS AND THIS YEAR I AM DOING SURVEYS FOR THE FIRST TIME . IT HELPS ME WITH ANY WAY TO SPEND MY TIME NOW THAT I HAVE LOTS OF SPARE TIME AND SOME ARE FUN LIKE THIS ONE AND HAVE TO SAY I PLAY BINGO ALSO MIKE

Great point Kamikla. P.. IEdited 05-Nov-22 00:03am

Agree 1000%. Also disappointing that points awarded have been severely cut to where it isnt even worth doing them any more assuming we dont get screened out

i agree fully

I agree wholeheartedly. I get screened out mainly because I am retired. I dismiss surveys due to spending about 10-20 minutes into a survey only to be screened out with no points most of the time.

What is frustrating is when they let you complete surveys and then tell you it just filled up, taking information for nothing which in my book is stealing

I have been having the same experience.

I find some that I am often told sorry survey filled.

I agree with you get lock out them not good. I hate will you almost or half way and the lock the person out so they can't finish the Suvery at all. What others place can i go for Suvery for money Edited 04-Nov-22 21:26pm

Agree totally. I am retired, previously work for myself certainly not a company owner. Have the same problem with surveys

Usually it's my age.

I find that I answer screening questions and then they redirect me to another survey and then I get screening questions again. Endless loop

As soon as I reveal my age, gender and that I’m retired, I get screened out of most of them.

Here here. Then tòo nosy for points given.

I find there are less surveys I qualify for these days and always seemed to qualify for blue surveys but they appear to have disappeared. My survey earnings have at least halved in the last month or so.

I do sure yes all the time ,.

I only do surveys for Bonus points do the games to keep my mind tuned

Amen I hardly ever qualify

I have to agree some of the questions belong in an x file, but still,it gives you something to do

I totally agree. Also it really annoys me when I get to the end of a survey and they ask for any comments - then all of a sudden "sorry you didn't qualify" I have nearly pulled out over it.

Waste of time trying i dont bother anymore

Very true, Kamila. In view of the recent security breaches with Optus and other companies, I feel a certain reluctance to provide too much info for a relatively small point value that transfers into an even smaller dollar amount

Yes I have been retired for over 31 years so I get screened out a lot but then the people wanting the surveys are looking for a certain group so obviously I don't fit the criteria

a lot of survey"s are about banking finances,if they ask how much savings i have i'm out of the survey.i run,

20 minutes into a survey i get screened out and i might get 50 points or nothing !

Like a lot of others, I get screened out of countless surveys - certainly there are far more outs than acceptances. There is absolutely no doubt that the main reason I get the 'cold shoulder' is my age. I am 77. Being rejected used to annoy me but I have come to accept that the so called marketing experts aren't interested in considered opinions from us older folk and believe that the world functions around the upwardly mobile with more money than sense. That's okay, they pay their money and get what they want but I wish they wouldn't waste everyone's time in this manner.

When I first joined Rewardia I thought it was an exciting and very innovative survey site, now I am screened out several times on a daily basis. I am 77 years of age, is that it ? I agree with APB I think it targets young people. I also agree with you Jodie it is very degrading to be bumped out of surveys all the time. I am asked to do blue surveys all the time and then am not able to continue. From being a very exciting survey site it has become very disappointing. And believe I am not a complaining person as a rule. GIVE US A GO REWARDIA.

Many of these surveys are either shopping for customers (when are you going to buy a new car/do you have insurance)...or trying to make you watch adverts...these have no interest in doing any survey at all...and have found a great way to carry out this work at no cost at all.... no safeguards...no checks...no-one in control....no come-backs or complaints...great place to operate... welcome to Rewardia....a very good feeding ground Edited 04-Nov-22 21:30pm

If you are 18 to 35...smoke, drink, gamble...eat loads of rubbish AND fast food...drink energy drinks...up to your bum in debt...or would like to be....and make purchasing decisions for your company....or have lots of exciting diseases...this is the place for you!!!...Rewardia will probably never run out of high paying surveys for you...if this is not you...please press 3 and one of our operators will get back to you in a month...please hold the line or you lose your place in the queue...your call is important to us.... Edited 04-Nov-22 21:21pm

I agree, I am finding it harder and harder to get accepted into a survey, very disappointing and sometimes a little degrading. I have also found that quite a few of the surveys I have almost gotten to the end and it bumps me out, one survey took me over an hour and at the end said, sorry you did qualify for this survey.?... what the, I finished it. And complaining to Rewadia does nothing.

I'm just jacked off by the age disvrimination, over 65 and you're out

none

Absolutely agree with you Kamila. It has been more so since I no longer work, now live rural instead of city or suburbs. No children living at home and I am no longer earning what I use to earn which was no where near 150k. Rewardia certainly isn't the same as it use to be.

Absolutely agree with you. CEO's didn't get there answering surveys for a mere pittance. Likewise, the screening process is way too long. They should have a record of our age etc. sometimes the survey is half completed before you're screened out.

I don't like it when I get to the end and get screened out and have complained to be given a 100 to appease me. I was in IT before I retired and as I explained when I complained, every page you go to is logged therefore it can be proven that you completed the survey. It's just easier to give you a 100 points, pat you on the head and not investigate as they should. I pointed out that we are their bread and butter! On another site that I have been with for years, told me I raced through and therefore not awarded the points. They wouldn't provide proof. It was probably the one where they send you endless screens listing all the sports and want to know how interested you are in them. I have a touch screen and can touch type, how quickly so am I going to be able to go through? I argued twice about it. Not resolved to my satisfaction. It is the last site I go to.

Not drinking or smoking has lost me alot of surveys too. But it really annoys me when I spend more than 10 minutes doing a survey, getting to the end, clicking submit only to be told I've been screened out with little or no compensation. I did a tangerine one the other day that took 45 minutes and it was the worst survey I've ever done only to click submit and get a 'missing session' page with no points awarded

i only do red surveys, most of the time 50 pts for being screened out. better than the others where no points for screened out

Ditto, even not having children at home, etc age, gets me screened all the time

Yes you are right. I find that as I get older I get less and less surveys. I think I still have all my marbles so it shouldn't make any difference how old I am.

I get screened out of about 50%of what i do. I got a degree in college late. I am 68 in the poverty range I don't know why I get booted out.

It is just the people who run those surveys trying to get the answers that they want as apposed to getting what is happening. How often have you done a survey where the best answer for you has very little to no relation to what you actually do?

I have been screened out on so many surveys after the initial questions, such as age, gender, location or children at home. To reduce the amount of disappointment and time we spend on not making it to the survey why can't Rewardia and the survey company sync their programs so the surveys we are not targeted for are just not shown on the Survey Center??

I miss out on so many probably due to my age of 72!

Finishing the survey and don't get the rewards points I have stopped doing survey for Rewardia

I agree with you Kamila P what CEO would do surveys and as I am getting older I get booted out surveys more and more

I constantly get pushed out of the surveys and I believe its because of age - they don't want the oldies. However, we eat, drink, buy clothes and live and breathe on this planet too. Agree that a CEO or someone earning $90k or more wouldn't deign to do the surveys in the first place. Do wish all surveys dumped me out after I state my age, rather than waiting till the last question, though.

There are a lot of surveys I don't qualify for but that just makes the ones I can do more enticing. I'm unable to work or collect a pension for another 2 years so have to survive on my small amount of savings left by my late husband. Anything I get from surveys I use to get myself little treats. They are the highlight of my day for a short while.

Try being in your late 70s we have too much experience and not enough buying power

The topic for most surveys is very mundane. Why are we asked for a degree to do a survey about run of the mill items such as groceries, it really comes down to are you working? if not forget it?

I agree with you Kamila

Have same thing. Sometimes it pays to “ cheat” a little bit. Same as some of the questions on polls trivia. If no idea I Google it

My experience over the past 20 years of doing surveys, is precisely the same as yours. If I earned over 50,000 a year, I wouldn't be doing this for pennies

It makes me laugh when you see one worth 2-3000 points and the work options are like CEO-Director etc and you are just a humble teacher , gosh why couldn't I have been born a parasite.

Some surveys I don't qualify so I just go to the next one

I got banned from doing them 2 years ago. It appears that because I live in Bali I have no right to have an opinion.

as an 84 yr part time worker i love surveys and i get quite a phew,

It depends on the day

Agree What annoys me more is completing the survey and then getting screened out I complained and was told to take a screenshot I haven’t done anymore since

So we all moan and groan BUT you all + everyone keeps coming back and back and back and so it goes on and on and on. I allow a 10 - 20% survey acceptance rate and I attempt no surveys under 500points. It is what it is. Your choice.

I agree 100%. I also don't have kids so I'm assuming that is screening me out a lot. And, while on this topic, I spent literally 20 mins answering a red survey the other day and then it screened me out and gave me 30 points! I answered a lot more than just demographic questions so they effectively got a lot of information for 3 cents.

Yep, particularly the ones that screen you out if retired or too old……damn it I’m both…..lol

Kamila P how right you are! Ageism and Gender Bias are rife but don't blame organisations such as Rewardia. They don't actually create the surveys. It is the CEOs, CFOs and other highly paid employees who employ others to create surveys and they, in turn, employ Rewardia to run them. On one occasion I attempted to take part in 22 Surveys. I was screened out of all of them as soon as I entered my Age or both Age and Gender. I find this weird as we older people have many years of Experience, have tried countless new products - some of which we have bought once and never again, others have become much-loved and are still regularly bought! Why companies seem to only want the opinions of the "less than 30 year-old" bracket is beyond comprehension, yes, their opinion is important but then so are those of us riper ones and, as our politicians love to endlessly criticise us for being, we ARE the Majority. Another annoying is when you have spent, say, 15 minutes doing a survey, click on "Submit" only to be told that the survey is closed! Once we start a survey we should be allowed to complete it and get our points How often have you been told "This survey is not right for your Profile, please wait until we find you another", then you get a message stating "We have found a survey which matches your profile" - or words to that - and then when you click on "Start" you are told "This survey is not right for your Profile" and on and on it goes! The rewards offered are very often determined by the companies which commission them - sometimes they are dreadful, sometimes good. It all depends on how much money is available

Everyone has said what I think!

I agree, not sure who they are trying to target with some of these surveys. The ones that go on about your role within the business after you have honestly told them on at 2 occasions that you are retired, it’s baffling to me.

Aren't we all on here to earn a little more money to help us get by and make lives a little easier for ourselves. It's not as if want thousands of dollars but a $100 a month is great and it really helps. I was quite happy with that. I also hate the ones about children and quite often get screened out because we don't have any or we don't go to the cinema. I like the surveys that give you a little for your time, like the red ones 50 points if screened out at least it is some thing for your effort. You win some, you loose some as the saying goes and hang in there, also take a break from doing the surveys every now and again for me that helps too.

Survey requirements are highly discriminative and grossly under-rewarding. I certainly cannot see a high powered or highly paid person spending the time. In any event, how do we know opinions matter or make a difference? I believe marketing know-it-alls determine production and selling strategies.

Some days I don't seem to get many surveys at all and I get discouraged. But what is worse, when you are trying to answer honestly, is you get removed from a survey which is almost completed because the algorithm thinks you are just randomly pressing buttons when you are not! Just yesterday I answered a series of 6 questions with "strongly disagree" and pressed next. Then the survey asked me to review them which I did, and the correct answers WERE strongly disagree! So I pressed next again and got booted off the survey. A few days back I had one, which I was having to concentrate on carefully because I was tired and trying to get it finished. But the question asked "what 5G network will your next phone provider be" and I answered neither to the question. Automatically I'm ruled out even though I NEVER want a 5G phone and I was on the home stretch. I sometimes think that the marketing departments who design the surveys make it in such a way as to ensure that they recieve a positive bias towards the results their clients want by screening out responses which might negatively impact the clients proposal! This REALLY annoys me WORSE than automatically being screened out due to age, gender etc because you've put the time in and got nothing in return! Thanks for reading.

Age is the greatest screen out. Who wants opinions from a 79 year old ???

I get screened out a lot due to age, 75, but what I don't like is to be doing a survey for 10 minutes or so and then they ask I D questions and then rule me out. This happened to me to day on a blue survey. Annoying.

I don't have any issues

I get screened out of a lot due to age, (72), sometimes gender & sometimes due to the fact that I'm a casual worker. I still manage to earn enough rewards to supplement my supermarket shopping & send some to Paypal every month to help with the internet bill, but to do all this I'm a member of quite a few sites & spend a heck of a lot of time doing surveys.

I do surveys online everyday and I have pick up surveys on zoom and focus group which pay high dollars. I have just pick one up for next week I will have to attend a open group meeting for $150 for 90mins but they don't come very offend I am lucky if I get 4 in a year. When I do attend a survey group meeting you be surprise people who worked in high places or run their own business roll up just to do group meeting and make extra pocket money most of the time they do the group meeting on their way home from work and ask me how I manged to get a few survey meetings in a year. This little money I make pays for my holiday petrol money and the groceries for when my husband and I go to Darwin next year. I have also seen retired, unemployed and low income attend to focus group meetings just make extra cash. Now I notice they are not paying cash or direct into your bank account they give you vouchers. I have vouchers I will be using it for Darwin and help with the Christmas groceries.

Agree with you. I do manage to get at least one survey done over all the platforms I use

im not a qualified person but i get at least one survey a day im happy paying games as well

i,m retired so i got plenty of time i go into the survey soon as i say my age i,m gone to old i can finish a survey and them it says not elgable they get it for free

I agree. every time I see an annual income of $250,000 plus, I wonder the same thing. I struggle with income and use this for Christmas and birthdays for the grandkids and great grands so they have something to remember me by. If I had that kind of salary I'd be out in the world living the life.

I think the same thing every time I get one of those surveys. Those people wouldn't bother with surveys as they don't have time.

Ditto, plus just spent 25 minutes completing a red survey, just to be informed that Im not eligable for that survey. Are we being illegally mined for our information with no rewards. What happens to our information, is it about time that we take group action and hold these companies accountable and threaten them with the legal repercussions

I like doing online surveys is because online surveys help me to earn more money in my pocket.

I think age is a factor to be screened out

I am over 75 and I don't have any trouble with surveys. I don't think I get screened out to often.

There are different requirements, Some companies pay staff to answer for them. Think Businesses dont have an opinion. You will be screened for different reasons with different companies. keep track those who want companies, age restrictions etc and don't do them to save you time. I get scanned but over the 19 years I have made more money than I have lost, IT IS ALL ABOUT AWARENESS of criteria.... and not expecting every survey to be a gold mine. ENJOY

I am scanned out of surveys,.because I am to old. As soon as I put my age down the surveys ends. Also its the same questions over and over. Who are you going to vote for and do you own any guns. .

I find that when I fill in my age i don't qualify for the survey

I back out of a lot of surveys as soon as they ask for access to my mobile data. and I never give my income. I have already ticked that I am retired so it is none of their business. Do they want opinions or just our data ??? I only do blue (mostly not wanted here), or red, but more and more are asking for data access, so I am screened out. Also one the other day went on and on about how happy was I and how much research did I do about buying CAT FOOD. I rehomed a cat, I just bought a range of cat food and he turned his nose up at most of them, and I buy the couple of them that he will eat. I should have got the cat to fill in the survey !

Well i am older and surveys helps supplement my income so that I can buy a little more than most of the time I buy.Edited 04-Nov-22 06:38am

they are picking our brains to figure out how to improve their business {ideas} so they get more customer. more customer more money. And we get pay chicken feeds. we fall for it, because of boredom

About 50/50.

I get kicked off when I put in age and income! If I am earning big money, working full time and young Iwould be too busy to do surveys !!
