Why was I disqualified from a survey?

Survey disqualifications can happen often, and most of the time, it's not something you're doing wrong. Many surveys are only intended for very specific groups of people, and if your answers don’t match what they’re looking for, you may be screened out early.

Here are a few tips to help improve your chances:

• Be honest and consistent. Survey providers compare your answers across multiple surveys. If your responses are inconsistent, you’re more likely to be disqualified.
• Take your time. Rushing through questions can lead to mistakes or make it seem like you're not fully engaged.
• Watch for attention checks. Some surveys include simple questions designed to make sure you’re paying attention. Skipping or misreading these can lead to disqualification.
• Avoid using VPNs or proxies. Using a VPN or proxy can interfere with survey eligibility. Please make sure that any of these services are disabled.
• Check back often. Survey availability changes throughout the day. Being patient, consistent, and focused will help show survey providers that you're a reliable participant, which can lead to more survey opportunities over time.
