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?
I would expect their survey selection/offer process to try to get you into surveys with low completion rates that are harder to fill first. They may use other factors to try to avoid too much bias in the overall group of people completing each study, but I'd be amazed if we weren't being pushed into low qualification/high rejection rates first most of the time.
