I took about two dozen surveys as best that I can tell. Got 16 keys. Most of the time they rejected me for not making enough money or not spending enough. I am 63 and they did not like that. I have a fairly low income for my zip code and I had to re-enter my zip code at least 10 times per survey. They continually asked my age or birth year.

Perhaps the most frustrating repeated question was about my race or ethnicity. I am not Hispanic and that brought several outright rejections. I am mixed race and did not identify with any of their stated choices. I told them that I preferred not to answer. That prompted more rejections.

In any case, they indicated that I should forget about coming back for about three months, so I will not be repeatedly making this complaint.

I feel that I wasted most of my time. I feel that I was discriminated against in subtle, but annoying ways. I appreciate the effort that it took to try to implement this resource. It is a shame that it is this way.

I admit I've never done this, but it sounds like you're being too honest. Trying to tell them what they want to hear is usually the way of profiting with these kinds of companies.

It's only about getting offers though isn't it? Surely people don't actually have to buy stuff.

I have tried this routine again since my last post. I have grubbed up a few keys, but it is not ever worth the time that I put in. In fact, tonight in 45 minutes invested, I was never a good fit. I hate being told that. It seems so judgemental. Almost authoritarian.

But, not surprising since more and more often the 'surveys' are asking for personal and sensitive information of an identifying and even compromising nature.

I am often asked to allow the installation of what amounts to malware "for marketing purposes." I will not even use Discord after reading their fine print and then seeing what they installed on my machine. Not quite kosher that.

I have no idea how to tell them what they want to hear. Most of all if I lie then how can I even remember what lies that I have told them in the past? This activity takes such a low priority in my Life that it seems ridiculous to even try.

All that I want to do is earn a few keys to take advantage of a decent TH game. After a few surveys, I feel like I have been trying to scam the panties off of some royal princess. Like I should be ashamed for even believing that I could possibly be worthy of any consideration.

Bottom line for me is that this is not a "free" activity. My time matters to me. I value it too highly for this BS. I definitely wish that earning keys IG was easier and less time consuming,

Thanks for wasting time on my rant. I never expect Life to be fair. This is not even close.

Sometimes those damn survey websites jump here and there with different urls and that means it's a new survey so therefore you need to tell your age and zip code etc again!
This ongoing cycle may also be a sign that you're banned from some survey websites and that's why they trolls you!
