Zen Survey Qualifications

So to earn zen we have the option of doing surveys. The only problem is good luck not getting disqualified halfway through the questions. I'd love to be somewhat honest on them, but you can't. I tried all of the surveys today and was disqualified from each one. You know why?

To pass the qualifications for the surveys, you need to be a low income mexican girl who is a pregnant single mother with cancer. That's probably the only way you can finish a survey. If you are anything other than this, you are going to get disqualified.

Can we please get some surveys that aren't absolutely stupid? You could spend 15 minutes filling out questions and it kick you out at the end because you answered your age as 17-24 and you get no zen. This looks bad on pwe, because these are the only offers that you can do without spending money.

I get it if the company is forcing us to spend money because the surveys are crappy, but it looks really bad on the company. Pwe should at least check the offers they list to make sure they are legitimate. If no one can complete the surveys without being disqualified, what is the point in having them there in the first place? Talk about false advertising.

    Thanks for the feedback on the ZEN offer surveys. I'm sure it's frustrating to not be able to complete them, but please understand that these marketing offers are often looking for very specific demographics.

    That said, please feel free to take advantage of the other, non-survey free offer promos!

    The other zen offers want you to pay for a subscription, or want your email to spam you, or want you to pay for some other service or item. The surveys were the only ones that are actually "free" without spamming your email.

    Definitely look into it please? :D
    I want to earn zen, but this is making it impossible.

    I very rarely do surveys but back in the day when gold was 100k i actually did them alot i was getting like 5 gold a week without knowing its value.... i didn't know about gold trading or id have done it.

    Now and day meh yeah its abit harder since most are medical based. The key to qualifying for a survey is putting what THEY want. Dunno if i will get in trouble for that but to me its common sense. Like they ask how often you use a phone.... if you don't have a phone put like 5billion hours because most likely its a phone survey.

    I actually did a movie survey once and skipped over the explanation of the movie and just put it was a comedy since the name was Funny games (Not adam sandler one) and if you ever seen the movie then you know it was uter BS i put.

    Also if its a spam E-mail one then make a fake E-mail though for those i never do cause i make a fake E-mail then i actually use it often lol.
    101 Blademaster(Pro/Fail 4.0 BM with 11k base HP+G16(+10))

    76 Archer(Squishy Nuker)
    72 Cleric(Horrible healer)
    67 Barb(Buff baby)
    61 Wizard(King Aoe)
    37 Mystic(Fun project)

    I do have an alternate email for them so my main email isn't abused, but still I find it annoying.
    You have to lie on the surveys to get the gold, which defeats the purpose of the survey for that company entirely. Which no one cares about that, only that they get their zen.

    In that respect, I'm sure you would be kind of mad if you got almost done with one and answered one question incorrectly and got disqualified, whether or not you were lying on it. You can normally get an idea of what they are looking for, but what about the one that failed on selecting where I lived. Apparently living in Georgia is a disqualification for a health survey.

    I've actually done ALOT of these "other, non-survey free offer promos", and only ever gotten credited on a few. I refuse to do any of them through Peanut Labs anymore, and there is another one that popped up 3 days ago, and I'm still waiting for credit on those. I hate to say it Val, but it does look bad for PWE, even though they don't have any control of these surveys and offers, nor their payouts. A lot of people might not understand that, I only know because I emailed both PWE and Peanut labs. The main issue that people have is the "target market" for these companies is too small, perhaps PWE could look into removing this from the site altogether. I know that I go through Swag Bucks, and that is how I get my free Zen b:chuckle b:cool
