I was kicked out on an 8 pts vaccines survey, specifically related to a particular pharma a particular vaccine. At the beginning it already asked if participants want to share contact info or opt out. I opted out. Finish the survey all the way till the LAST question which said Thank You for completing the survey. Our researchers would sometimes like to contact participants in following weeks for more info, Answer Yes or No. I answered No and immediately got the Not Target Group screen. I immediately filed a ticket with not so subtle language to give them hell on such unethical practice. They came back to award the full credit 2 days later.

I notice last week all technical issues met with zero credit claiming some software detected whatever issues that nullified the survey. Also since several weeks ago all surveys disqualification happened after 90% complete still not giving any credit, and you are fed by the crap about none of the input would be used. Yeah right.

However since last weekend, these crappy scenarios seemed to change a bit. They now award partial credits based on the length of time spent, and they also returned back to award credit on technical issues.
