I am assured they never use uncompleted data as the final SEND button sends the info to the company, and if you did not press that at 100% your stuff does not go. :( do you believe it?

Kay, what does YSP say?

I for one do not believe that. My son has mentioned on several occaisions about companies doing this and only last night I had a survey from Response Panel, I had completed 86% of the survey when it said I was not the target group. Load of codswallop. They not only save money by not paying you, but they have also have plenty of information from you.

In one respect it's nice to know I'm ot the only one, but it's not nice to know that a lot of people appear to be conned.I think the Praise and Shame forum should be split in 2 so that the Praise guysare totally disassociated from the shame guys.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time! I nearly completed the survey (75%) and they decided to ask me some more demographic question, then blew me out!! Well angry!! Cheek!! I cant remember who it was for though? think it was aurora(dont recall ever having one from these) who set the survey? They actually said "i did not meet the criteria" Well, why did they not ask me the important questions FIRST, shame on them, ahh i remember who it was, your opinion counts on survey network.Ring any bells??

Survey network are probably my number 1 site.I've been screened at at 75% from others but not Survey Networks.
You are absolutely right when you say the big question should come at the start not after 75%.It is not fair.
They should remember that we are the customer here!
