It happens all the time unfortunately!

I've given up doing the surveys. It's simply not worth the time and effort. You fill out a lot of questions and waste time only to find you have been screened out - then it takes a month of Sundays to have the privilege of gaining a pittance.

just did three surveys each about 15-20mins long, got to the end and no points rewarded at all!! what a waste of my time!!

That's awesome, congratulations

Sharing this to Facebook :P Great News!!!

Well done i did that for foo fighter tickets a few years back. Congrats!

How wonderful - you've actually won something. I've been entering competitions here for years and not even a tram ticket! :-) The only reward I have is an email account with 500 spam message daily.

Can someone tell me about the Tax angle if one should ever be in a position to win an overseas holiday. I am an old-age pensioner - so a tax bill would mean I'd probably have to sell the house.

Congrats! Here's to many more!

Congrats

nice win!

Congratulations

We're still keeping it on, but there will be a 2 week delay.. PayPal processing can be all too time consuming and an accounting nightmare and hard on fees esp with NZD (We're in NZ also).

Nice win mate!

Congrats, have fun :)

Great win and there's always the comps at the show too. :)

Congratulations.

Happy days!

Nice win

It is very quiet now isn't it, no wins here unfortunately.

Bj74 i have started up again after a few months off. Hopefully soon there's a winners call or email for you :)

Hey @surferboy83, biggest prize for me so far this year was $2000 worth of Noritake tableware.

Good luck for a winning call or email for you. Sure you will add a holiday or two to your prize list :)

Hey @surferboy83 glad to hear your still entering those trips! Largest win this year for me has been an iphone 8 ($1079). Congrats on your win @Smalot11 :)
I've seen some of these surveys before so I doubt I will be eligible again and I don't know how the third parties involved will use this information so I don't access this site much.
A lot of hard work for points and I'm normally time poor. (Personal opinion only).
Anyone on here is quite welcome to send me a friend request or give me a follow on insta and I will follow you back. Not entering as many now ( because of time) only the 'bigger' ones lol. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to hearing of your next big win @surferboy83 :)
and yours too @Smalot11 :) and crossing my fingers for you @bj74, you can have a loan of my fourleaf clover. :)

Thanks @fourleaf Congrats, an iPhone is always a great win. :)

I tend to be comping more over on Ozbargain these days, same username, happy also if you wish to connect on FB or insta. Instagram is still a work in progress for me.

Smalot11 and fourleaf cheers back and what great wins! Here's wishing you many more too! Well done!!

Thanks@fourleaf

@Smalot11 sent through a friend request to you :)

@fourleaf :)

A $250 voucher at my local shopping centre for me.

@Jrob71 Congrats, nice prize :)

Nice one! @Jrob71 :)

I am winning bits and pieces sporadically ,will always enter comps, can't stop now,the bug is alive and well, and once you taste that winning wine,it's addictive, good luck everyone,@surferboy,your a great example as to what can happen....and happen and happen again,and again, lol

Cheers Trevsta. same as you I'll just keep going and going :)

Never. Stopping either mate. Can't stop now, come too far!!!!

Hi @Donald4564,

If you're screened out right away it could be a number of things including the quota for the survey being full. Surveys need X participants and if they are met they will close the survey off. It's important to attempt the surveys as they are sent when possible.

Admin.

They must close them before they send out the email asking you to participate! That's all I can say.

Thanks. Tried it. I opened about 10 surveys and didn't qualify for one! Another half hour wasted.

@Donald4564 playing game & activity give you quiet alot points and filling out poll etc

with the survey your points do not show for a few hours i read

pretty easy to gain points and get prizes with it

Happy Days. ??

Yes! Don't you just hate it when you've waited 5 minutes for a survey to open up, then answered about 25 questions only to be told that you are screened out or the quota's been filled? This morning I had 5 surveys in my box. I didn't qualify for any of them but managed to waste over half an hour on them. Really, saving up a trickle of points for over 9 months or so for the possibility of getting $20 is just not worth it!

I love (not) the survey that ask if you about your Business Role - starting from CEO or CFO down to Managing Director or ones that ask your Household Income starting at $150,000. Do the survey companies really think these types of people have time or inclination to do survey to make a living? Ha

Yes, a small win but still a win. (signed cricket bat)
I also nearly missed a trip I had won and the guy ended up contacting my parents (as my number is silent) and rang me.
It turned out to be the best trip ever! So glad he persevered.
Now I try to be extra vigilant scrolling through my endless e-mails. Probably have missed out on others that I didn't know about.
Ignorance is bliss...LOL
I dislike how some comps only require your e-mail. I think I'd rather be rung up and congratulated over the phone :)

I have two email addresses: one personal; one only for comps. Every few days I do a search on Keywords like congrats; congratulations; winner to see if there is something I have won that I need to respond to.

That's a great idea!

I usually do that though a lot of spam e-mails I have noticed start with "Congratulations" to hook you in believing that you have won something when you have not, just for you to send back your details...lol

Voted for sure

voted :)

Voted

Thank you @fourleaf @Delighted @bj74

Done :)

Voted. Sorry I've been quiet lately on the comping. Good luck :)

Its been very very quiet indeed . full stop. period!!

VANUATU

thanks!! smalot11

Good luck wolverine, new code BEACH

thanks again smalot11 - I have been watching them via tenplay (I don't get to see them when its on channel 10) and the code words don't seem to get shown watching it this way. Or it might be just me, but I have watched both episodes twice now and still didn't see it.

No worries. Good luck to you. Sounds like a great family holiday.

@wolverine Same here, it doesn't seem to show up some how on the channel. :/

Netrewards always have them listed too

thanks bj74 that's very helpful! (what does bj stand for - I can think of one thing I know it stands for)

@wolverine , lol, get your mind out of the gutter, it's my first/ middle name initials

sorry @bj74 just seeing who's paying attention. Not as much activity on this forum lately.

@wolverine lol, all good. I agree though, it has been pretty quiet on here.

Very quiet *hears cricks* :)

@Smalot11 And it's not even cricket season. :)

@Lemond :) haha hope you have had some wins lately

Same, and just got 1st survey in a while, but was terminated after a couple of questions, got 5pts for that.

Nah, don't think so, yeh nah

@admin I don't think this topic has anything to do with comps

HI. Are you still having this problem?

Sounds good, it's a great thing I reckon :)

great

Happy Dayz!!

sounds great! - a few other ways to collect compbux would be even better

I still don't get your emails

I still don't get your emails

That sounds great thanks

Yeh, looks like incentive stuff admin, I like it :)

Great idea, well done!!

The more bux to help feed the cows....well..the better I say, each point counts, now back to sleep

@FARMER-TYSON , don't you mean back to sheep? Couldn't help myself :) lol

Gold @Brokemaree93!!! :)

Sounds good :)

Last 2 surveys I got were 150 each, go figure!! :)

Hey I would just like a survey that doesn't got for 20 questions & then tells me that I am not quite the person they are looking for.

totally agree with gaseja!!!

I absolutely concur!! :)

I just had 2 that were for 150 then. Both times i got 5 points and was over halfway done with the surveys. The emails i recieve are only 75 points, so i think it might only be 150 points for surveys now and then.

Same here, 2 surveys worth 150 each, heaps of questions than get told I don't qualify, woohoo got 5 points each. This way, It will take years to get enough points to have any sort of cash out. Looking back, in over 12 months I have only qualified for 1 survey and been able to complete it, omg.

Hi there should be some coming through at 150, the 75 points will be bumped to 100. You need to view the survey page for the 150 points ones for now..

started a 150 point survey now, go to 11% did not qualify, not even 5 points!!!

started a 150 point survey now, go to 11% did not qualify, not even 5 points!!!

That's not so bad @flowerpower98 I have had many times when I have been at 70-90% and then told I did not qualify, getting no points as well!

Go into the survey section on top of page and it will show you your 5000 compbux, but I am sure you need like 5200 to redeem 50 but for 3400 you can redeem 30, see how u go :)

The only section you could do that on this site is in this forum. Some other comping sites let you post direct. :)

You need to go to your Settings which can be found on the far RHS up the top with the arrow pointing down. If you want EVERYONE to read you comment change this to PUBLIC. If you only want the Public to read one of your posts, you need to change the arrow on bottom RHS from FRIENDS to PUBLIC. But fb are tricky, because you will still need to go back into Settings again and change back from Public to Friends.

It's not a post on my page it's a comment on a business page

Facebook been doing some strange things of late, could it, for some reason, be marking your comment as spam? I know this has been happening to some friends over the last month or two, and the public can not see the friends comment.

I'd like to know too. I've just been entering normally. Every time I go to enter the code word is eggs-husted.
Probably won't win, but you never know.

I am still looking three Easter ?? eggs, make me crazy...., please , thank you

lmao. Yeah it's a bit of a brain teaser it went very quick last week.

We've processed CompBux today. Use the icon on the bottom right of the screen to chat with us if you haven't received anything.

@admin , hey mighty admin, I've submitted my compbux last week( which will help pay for cow feed ) and have noticed you also have not yet seen my love letter of gratitude, mate thanks in advance, helps take our minds off this horrible drought, happy days :)

@FARMERTYSON Love your style, humble words, good luck mate!!!

I've never been paid, even though I've sent emails. I gave up. :(

I am sure admin will be obviously reading these posts and hopefully honour the compbux redeemed, I mean who will do surveys ect. If people are not being paid. I am reluctant to do any if rewards are not being honoured. I will sit back and wait and see what happens!! Happy comping fellow compers!!!

Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday!

Don't bother as you will be inundated with call centre people wanting to sell you insurance.

OMG, the same happened to me, what a waste of time. And still offering 75pts if you quality. I thought that amount of points offered for doing surveys was to increase when ditching the leaderboard. Will take forever to get any where now :-(

Hi, No wins.. No survey's.. No points.. No leaderboard.. I wonder.. Is it worth it..

Must admit I wasn't pleased to spend time answering a lot of questions to then be told I didn't qualify. They need to do more work on their screening questions and I guess I will only get a token number of points. Will be seriously reconsidering doing future surveys.

@Di_D I concur :)

If you've had issues with surveys please let us know. Rewards will be increasing soon :)

@admin what about issues with compbux not being paid? Seems to be a few of them, I don't have much incentive to do them if this is the case, I say this with respect and no malice as I really do appreciate the opportunities on this site :)

I won the guessing game and have received nothing, What's the deal

I am just about at that point where I will ditch surveys. It seems most of them are run by shysters who ask a lot of questions and then get out of paying the surveyed for their time by telling them they don't qualify. I like it when too when I go to a survey and then before I get a chance to do anything - I am told I don't qualify - how would they know if I ain't answered one single question? Then - there is the reward. What are the average pay rates in Oz per hour these days? Surely more than 75c (or its equivalent in points). My only hope is that I might still be alive to be able to redeem my points after about 35 years.
