I try another high-value survey and again get bounced back to a 1.5-point survey. Nope. Not gonna happen.
Just to offer a somewhat different perspective. I too aim for those higher point surveys first. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But if I get kicked out of a couple of them (sometimes almost immediately), I will go back and if possible complete a 1 or 1.5 pointer. Then I return to my dashboard, and with some frequency I once again not only see one of the higher point surveys from which I was disqualified (same point value, same topic) but I'm actually able to complete that survey...sometimes. It's happened often enough that I suspect they are forcing you to attempt the low-hanging fruit before giving you the opportunity to try for the five or six pointers.

And even though I have been complaining in recent months about A) getting disqualified from a lot of surveys and B) seeing too many low-point offers, I just realized that in the last seven days I've earned over 80 points from completed surveys only, including a couple of surveys worth 20 or more points. That's something that I have not seen in a long time. Maybe things are changing?
