I would like to complain about Samplicio.us unfair survey method of disqualifying survey takers and using survey information to their benefit without paying us anything.
I have attempted MANY of their surveys, but no more! This is my experience many, many times attempting their surveys: I spend 20+ minutes (which is NOT short, by the way) giving detailed information including writing in other answers and then them asking qualification demographics (age, what size town I live in) at the very end after I have given ALL the pertinent survey answers they sought for their needs.
Todays survey was wanting DETAILED information about my use of credit cards: how many I use, how I pay the bills, what I pay with credit cards, how much I spend average each month on my credit cards, what categories I use credit cards for, etc. They also asked how much monetary assets I have, where does my income come from, how much I spent on average last 6 months, how much I spent on gifts for Christmas, my credit score, etc., etc, etc. At the absolute END of the survey, they then asked demographic age and what type of area I live in (suburban, urban, rural). These very last questions were the qualifying questions because when I gave size of town, I was then disqualified! Yet, they already had ALL my pertinent survey information to use if they choose. This is a VERY unfair practice to survey takers; to take all their time and survey info and then disqualify them and not compensate for info and time spent! They should be asking the qualifying questions/demographics at the beginning of survey so we don't waste our precious time on non-paying surveys and making ourselves vulnerable by divulging our personal info.
