Get Birthday Points From Synovate

Synovate Global Opinion Panels rewards you with 100 points just for it being your birthday! I got an email at the beginning of December stating that since my is coming up soon I will be rewarded with 100 points ... I can't believe I'm going to be 21! Anyway they send you an email with a picture of birthday candles along with a message. Be on the lookout for an email when your birthday is coming up because you have to click the link in the email in order for the 100 points to credit to your account. I am thinking the email will probably come a couple weeks or so before your birthday so make sure you add "FromMarie@synovate(dot)net" to your contact list so it doesn't go into your spam.

Happy Birthday from Synovate Global Opinion Panels!

Your 100 birthday points have been credited to your account.

We hope you enjoy YOUR day!

*Note: Re-clicking the link will not result in additional points. Your 100 birthday points will be credited once to your account.

REMEMBER, POINTS = CASH!

That's right, CASH...not drawings to win cash. CLICK HERE to log into your account to find available surveys, update your profile, review your points balance, and redeem your points for cash!

Diaper Studies - Arquest & Nieto Research

There are a couple diaper studies open right now, one is though Arquest and the other is through Nieto Research. I couldn't find a website for Neito Research but here is the website for Arquest. Although I couldn't find a website for Nieto Research, I have participated in one of their Diaper Studies before and was sent over 2 dozen diapers. I just had to fill out a form about each diaper package and what I liked or disliked, how they fit, etc.

Arquest need Boys and Girls who wear Size 4 diapers. If you are chosen you will be sent a pack of diapers, then you will be asks a couple questions about them. When you have completed the study they will mail you a $10 check for your participation. They tend to alternate the size of the diapers for the studies monthly. So even if you are not sure what studies they may be conducting you can call them and ask. They mail tell you to call back a month or two later depending on what size diaper your baby/toddler wears.

For boys use Ext. 634
For Girls use Ext. 646

You can call Nieto Research at a toll free number, if you don't get a live person then you can leave a voicemail recording stating that you would like to participate in a diaper study and leave your phone number so they can call you back. You can also send them an email at NietoResearchInc@aol.com or Nietoresearch@yahoo.com (Priority is given to those who email.). Tell them you would like to participate in a diaper study. They’ll need your name, phone number and child’s weight and diaper size. Nieto Research also has Feminine Care Product Studies as well. I just got a call today from them to update my info in their system, they said they had a study available but I didn't qualify since I didn't use that type of product regularly - "only when I can't afford my regular product", the lady laughed and agreed with me. Every time someone calls from Nieto they are always very nice.

American Consumer Opinion Panel Payments Update

Anne Parks, the Vice President of American Consumer Opinion Panel, sent a email out stating the new changes to the way payment are going to be handled. Beginning mid-December instead of getting mailed a check every time you complete a survey, the amount that the survey was for will be deposit into your account. They are making this change because they think it may be an inconvience for the members to deposit small checks.

I personally don't mind cashing small checks but I think adding this feature is a good idea who do find cashing them an inconvience. It may draw more members in since it's basically a no minimum cashout but you also have the option of accumulating your survey earnings in your accoutn if you wish, and can withdrawel anytime. Maybe next they will implement PayPal? Hopefully they are at least considering it since many people depend on PayPal for most transactions, and waiting for checks can be an incoveince in itself.

Here is the email that was sent out today abotu the new payment procesign changes:

Dear Tristen,

Starting in mid-December, when you complete a survey from American Consumer Opinion, your incentive check will be deposited in your account (instead of being automatically mailed to you). This will allow you to accumulate incentives in your account, and then request a payment check whenever you wish.

In the past if you completed a regular survey (10 minutes or more in length) you were mailed a check within four weeks after completing the survey. Now, in the new system (not available until mid-December), a few days after you complete a survey, your account will be credited for the full amount of your incentive. This will allow you to accumulate money and receive a larger check, instead of the inconvenience of depositing many small checks. You will be able to withdraw your money at any time once it's credited to your account. You can withdraw your money often, or let it build up as a savings account.

So, the next time you complete a survey (10 minutes or longer) and you are ready to withdraw money from your account, please go to American Consumer Opinion (www.acop.com) and click the Login link located under the Members section. Log in with the email address and password that you used to register as a member. If you cannot remember your password information, you can request the information be emailed to you from the web site.

Thanks again for being a member of American Consumer Opinion. Please invite your friends to join.

We wish you a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Thanks!

Anne Parks
Vice President
American Consumer Opinion

Opinion Outpost "Thank You Rewards"

Opinion Outpost now has a new reward system if you don't qualify for a survey, you can choose either a small donation to charity, an instant win game, or an entry into their sweepstakes. Here is a screen shot of what the rewards area looks like for those of you who haven't seen it:

I have chosen the instant win game every time hoping maybe I can win the $50 prize but it seems that every time I do I get the following message:

Survey Status
We’re sorry. You did not win the $50.00 cash prize.
Please try again on another survey to win!
Please look for more survey opportunities in the future.

I guess better luck next time! This kinda makes me want to do their surveys more, but then again its just a sweepstakes, instant win game or donation to charity. I think it would be more worth it to give it to charity, at least you know its going to be donated where as the sweeps and instant win games are a chance for you to win and no guarantee. It would be great if they did something like GlobalTestMarket and give a point or so even if you didn't qualify for the survey. Perhaps opinion Outpost is taking a step in that direction, at least I hope! What do you think of the new "Thank You Rewards"? Does this reward system make you more inclined to participate in surveys from Opinion Outpost or is your participation still unchanged?

Netverdix Survey Payment Notification!

Netverdix survey payments for September have been delayed and will be mailed in November. I received this email yesterday, you can read more about the situation below:

Dear Tristen:

We would like to thank you for your recent participation in Netverdix, Inc. surveys. The success of our surveys depends upon participants such as you. We hope that you enjoyed the survey experience and we look forward to your continued participation.

We recently discovered some fraudulent activity that was impacting the Netverdix checking account that we have been using to pay our participants who opted for payment via check.

Due to this fraudulent activity, the September 2008 survey earnings payment has been delayed. All September 2008 survey earnings will be mailed no later than November 21, 2008 . We apologize for the delay in issuing this payment but due to the fraudulent activity we had to open a new reward payment account and have new checks issued for the new account. The perpetrators of this activity were not at all related to the Netverdix operation and other organizations located elsewhere in the United States were also affected.

We will be back on schedule and all October 2008 survey earnings will be processed on December 1, 2008.

We also offer PayPal as a payment option. Paypal payments have already been processed and sent. If you prefer PayPal, you may log-in to your Netverdix account and update your payment setting under the "My Details" section of your Personal Panelist Page. Otherwise, you will continue to receive payments via check.

Sincerely,

Netverdix Panel Team
