In this case, we will close the survey link. We recommend you try to take the survey as soon as possible after receiving notification.
WHY DIDN’T I QUALIFY FOR THE SURVEY?
We conduct thousands of surveys each year and each survey targets different ages, industries, regions and characteristics. We do our very best to match you to the right survey, but in some cases your profile, habits or lifestyle do not match the criteria of the survey you were asked to participate in.
Sometimes we have more responses than expected and reach our quota for the study quickly. We recommend you try to take the survey as soon possible after receiving notification. Remember to keep your profile up to date so we can match you to a study that's right for you.

CAN I STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SURVEY AND TAKE IT LATER?
