They send so many emails with requests to take the surveys and only qualified one time in two years. It’s ridiculous when you go 20 minutes into the survey, are told you qualify and they get all your information and then you either never get called or never emailed. Its a real class act when they switch and bait you into going all the way through and then disqualify you at the end with a “sorry your group has been filled”. It’s obvious the information collected is being used by survey squad or should I say focus forward in making money off of our time and information collected and then disqualified. It’s disheartening and wrong.

I was a member of Focus Forward for 3 years. In that 3 years I earned all of $9.00. The last time I checked my account was Sept 2012, and I still had that $9.00 in my account. Today I was going through my survey sites and checking my current earnings
with all the survey sites I belong to, and found that my $9.00 which it took me 3 long years to accrue, has just disappeared from my Focus Forward account. I couldn't cash out, b/c I didn't meet the cash out threshold, and I couldn't advance my earnings b/c of the scarcity of surveys FF sent and the difficulty in meeting their demographics.
Would love to know where my $9.00 went???
I am not even going to chase it down. Not worth
my time.
I just deleted my account. I don't get many surveys from them and when I do, I rarely qualify. Thus the measly $9.00 earnings in 3 years of membership.
Save yourself time and frustration and skip Focus Forward.

I have been with this group for over a year and have made $1.00!! I'm a very young 52, but I must be lacking something that I'm not aware of. I'm always disqualified after the first few questions, that I wonder why they even bother sending me invites. I'm canceling membership and moving on. Sad thing is...they lost a great survey taker.

I signed up Jan 08 and immediately completed my profile info. Next I heard from them was in Jul 09 asking me to update my profile info. Received my first survey ($1) on Sep 3, 2009 but it was closed before I could take it. Received second survey today (Sep 28, 2009), but did not qualify. At this rate I will never earn anything from them. Hopefully I will be invited to a focus group or two to make it worthwhile, otherwise I'd cancel.

I've been able to cash maybe two times with these guys. You'll see your wiithdrawal in Paypal eventually but it can tale nearly four months.
Also, they are very hinky with qualifying like so many others, and furthermore they do not respond at all to e-mails sent to their customer service.
I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you.
