Do you feel sad that you got disqualified in a survey and not able to make money? Not anymore.
There are some survey sites that pay bonus points, even if you are thrown out in the middle of the survey. Pretty cool feature? Right.
Before jumping to the survey sites that actually pay for disqualifications, let’s talk a bit on why you don’t qualify for a survey.
Why don’t you qualify for all Surveys?
Here I have listed some of the reasons for survey disqualification:
Survey Profile not updated Regularly
Let’s assume that you had relocated to another state or country. Have you updated that information on your survey profile? Most likely, No. Because of that, the survey routers may find a mismatch on your real location with that available on your profile.
Providing False / Inaccurate information
While answering surveys, you always need to provide honest and accurate answers. Let’s imagine that you answered “No” for a question like “Do you own a car?” from a survey router. In case, if you answer “Yes” for the same question on another website, then you are providing false information. If both the survey routers are owned by the same company or they share data between them, then you may not get survey invites from the company anymore.
Too many Participants
Sometimes, a lot of people might try to answer the survey at the same time. And, you may get disqualified because the quota has got filled already.
Best Survey Sites That Pay For Disqualification
Here is the list of some survey sites that actually pay bonus points in case if you are not able to complete the survey.
1. ZapSurveys
Zap Surveys is a mobile app that pays you to answer surveys from Peanut Labs, TapResearch and Poll Fish. Even if you are not qualified for the survey, it pays $0.02 to $0.03 to just answer the pre-qualification questions. You can take the surveys daily and there is no limit on the maximum number of surveys per day.
Besides surveys, you can earn $0.75 as login bonus, if you log on to the app for 45 days. However, the minimum payout is a little high ( $25 ). Once you reach that limit, you can get the cash via PayPal or gift card from Amazon.
Zap Surveys is available for both iOS and Android.
2. Swagbucks
Swagbucks is one of the best paid survey sites that offer a lot of ways to make money like surveys, offers, videos, polls and more. From the Gold Surveys section, you can earn 1 SB if you don’t qualify for a survey. Likewise, you can earn 1 SB from the Peanut Lab surveys as well for disqualification.
However, the total limit for disqualification from the above sections is 10 SB ( 5 SB for Gold Surveys and 5 SB for Peanut Labs ) per day.

3. GrabPoints
Like Swagbucks, GrabPoints is a get paid to site that pays its members to do various tasks like answering surveys, installing mobile apps, completing offers etc. Even though there are a lot of daily survey routers, not all of them offers bonus points. Check out the Tap Research and Theorem Reach from the Paid Surveys section of GrabPoints. Both of them credits bonus points to your account if you get disqualified in the middle of the survey. And, the points vary based on the amount of time you had spent on a particular survey.
Besides surveys, you can also earn passive income by watching videos from the video partners VideoLoyalty, Engageme. Tv and Smores.Tv. The minimum payout of GrabPoints is $5 ( 5000 points ).

4. FeaturePoints
FeaturePoints is a mobile app that pays to install apps and take surveys. You can take surveys daily from Tap Research, Peanut Labs and Speak Up. And, you will get bonus points for participating in the survey from Tap Research. The points vary based on the length of the survey.
FeaturePoints has a low minimum payout of $1 ( 600 points ). And, you will be paid instantly via PayPal. Alternatively, you can also redeem the points for bitcoins.
5. CashKarma
CashKarma is a mobile app that pays to take surveys on the go. It offers survey opportunities primarily from 5 survey routers: TapResearch, TheoremReach, Adscend Media, Peanut Labs, and PollFish.
You will get 25 karma points (equivalent to $0.025) in case you get disqualified in the beginning or middle of the survey from TapResearch, PeanutLabs, and TheoremReach.
CashKarma also credits 5 points for logging on to the app as a daily login bonus. However, the minimum payout is a bit high for PayPal ($10-> 12500 points). For redeeming the points to a $5 Amazon Gift card, you need 6000 points.
6. ZoomBucks
Like GrabPoints, ZoomBucks rewards the users to take surveys, watch videos and complete offers. Not all survey routers in ZoomBucks will credit bonus points if you got disqualified in the middle of the survey.
At the time of writing, only TheoremReach Reach Survey router credits 7 to 50 points as bonus points for survey disqualification. The minimum payout on ZoomBucks is 3600 points ($3).
Legit Survey Sites That Pay Always
Do you know? There are some survey sites that pay always when you participate in a survey. Because they will send survey invites only to relevant people to avoid getting disqualified from surveys.
7. Microworkers
Microworkers is not a paid survey site. Instead, it is a micro job site where you get paid for doing small tasks such as searching on Google, sharing a post on social media, signing up on a website. However, you may find a few surveys on their website regularly. ( every few weeks or so )
And, the good thing about the surveys on Microworkers is that they won’t disqualify at all. If you are able to finish the survey in the given time, then you will get paid for the survey.

8. Google Opinion Rewards
There is no concept of disqualification when you take surveys from Google Opinion Rewards. Because it sends the survey invite only if your profile matches their criteria. Also, their surveys are short and will take only 5 minutes or less to complete.
Google Opinion Rewards is available for both Android and iOS platforms. However, it pays cash only to the iOS users whereas Android users will get the rewards in the form of Google Play Credits.
9. Prolific
Unlike the traditional paid survey sites, Prolific doesn’t offer daily surveys or more options to make money. Instead, it focuses only on academic-based studies which are created by students pursuing their Masters, Ph.D. or other higher degrees. Hence, you cannot expect regular surveys from Prolific.
However, if your profile gets selected for any of the research studies, then you will receive an invite. And, you will get paid once you complete the survey. So, you need not to worry about the concept of disqualification in Prolific.
How to Get More Surveys?
To get qualified for more surveys, do the following:
- Update your survey profile regularly.
- Don’t provide false or inaccurate answers.
- Register yourself on as many paid survey sites as possible so that you will get a lot of survey invites.
- Find out the survey router ( My favorite router is Tap Research ) that works well for you. And, try to answer surveys from that router as much as possible.
