£5 Amazon Voucher for Taking Survey

[charliecl]

Thanks for taking the time to complete our survey about drugs. Don’t worry, we’re not going to tell tales, we just want to know what drugs mean to you, and what part they do or don’t play in your life. We’ll get loads of helpful information for TheSite.org, and if you're 16 to 25, live in the UK and are one of the first 500 to complete the survey you’ll get a £5 Amazon voucher. That’s a win-win situation!

Short and easy to fill in survey.

[scottishlass]

Just to point out even though it says 25 - you do get rejected.

[zenseeker]

Sorry, but we’re only asking people aged between 16 and 24

So no 25's, despite what they say at the start :rolleyes:

[kirkeastment]

well i just managed to complete the survey in under 5 minutes, and left my email address, hope i was one of the first 500 to complete this survey.

[claire1234]

thanks,
just done, at the end it says vouchers will be sent out in march :)

[Damzel_In_Distress]

:D I have just done it and they are sending me my voucher! :D

[Kitty Wren]

Just filled it in. Lets see if I get the voucher.

I've never even taken drugs :D

[zenseeker]

:D I have just done it and they are sending me my voucher! :D

Doubtful, it was probably just a generic message. It does say to leave your email so that you get a voucher sent, but you still have to wait and see if you were one of the first 500

[p_larkin99]

Cheers for that OP

Really short survey for a fiver, definitely worth doing

Lets just hope they honour it!

[hpkrazy]

hope i wasn't too late.

[lookoutapiano]

Cheers for the link - hope I was one of the first 500.

[xxlaurissaxx]

Me too. xx

[Jen_31]

Oh my god, they used to have poppers at my school in about 1996 i think it would have been, I had no idea what they were, looking them up on wikipedia i cant believe we were kids, and the pupils had that stuff, and where doing goodness knows what :eek:

They also used to take rock

"On the illicit market, rock or crack, is sold in small, inexpensive dosage units. Smoking this form of the drug delivers large quantities of cocaine to the lungs, producing effects comparable to intravenous (http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4021) injection. These effects are felt almost immediately after smoking, are very intense, and do not last long" :eek:

wow i'm so innocent when it comes to what drugs names are :D

Anyway thanks for the amazon link hope i'm lucky *fingers crossed* :A

[kimmy393]

thanks took part

[wendz86]

I just did it too , hope get voucher , shame can't have it now

[Damzel_In_Distress]

Doubtful, it was probably just a generic message. It does say to leave your email so that you get a voucher sent, but you still have to wait and see if you were one of the first 500

I got a message at the end saying i was one of the first 500 and that i would get my voucher at the begginning of march :confused: So i dont think it was generic message,They also asked for all my contact details to send it etc

[idlesaver]

Thanks for the info...just fille in survey...fingers crossed...

[FloFlo]

Well I filled it in and got:
That's all the questions we need to ask you. Thanks for taking part. As a token of our appreciation, we'd like to send you a free £5 Amazon voucher - no strings attached. To get yours, please enter your email address below (strictly one per person). You'll receive your voucher in early March.

[xellieqx]

that's an interesting survey, i'm interested to see the outcome if people have told the truth.

[Kitty Wren]

that's an interesting survey, i'm interested to see the outcome if people have told the truth.

I didn't. I don't agree with drugs, but I do agree with Amazon vouchers :D

[durham_girl]

I didn't. I don't agree with drugs, but I do agree with Amazon vouchers :D

it wasn't asking if you agreed with them, just your views on them. :rolleyes:

[Lilith1980]

Thanks OP, it said I will be sent my voucher in early March :D

[flamingice]

I didn't. I don't agree with drugs, but I do agree with Amazon vouchers :D

I don't agree with drugs either, and i specifically said so and why in the survey. I don't think it matters what you say, they just want your opinion!

[Kitty Wren]

it wasn't asking if you agreed with them, just your views on them. :rolleyes:

I really don't know why you're rolling your eyes, I said that I had taken drugs to make sure I was accepted.

[moonsugar]

I really don't know why you're rolling your eyes, I said that I had taken drugs to make sure I was accepted.

Lying isn't generally accepted as a good thing really.

I hope i get mine too, it didnt say anything about if i was first but said they'd like to send me a voucher. i also agreed to take part if they had any more research as its quite an interesting area, a lot more scope than the usual questions you have to fill in about fruit juice etc :D

It is when you can get a free voucher :D


I bet quite a few people lied about their age as well :rotfl:

[CaroW]

Hi everyone!

Just a heads up for when you are filling in the survey:

The agree strongly, agree slightly etc. sections have disagree slightly and disagree strongly in the opposite positions to what I would call 'normal'... and this threw me a bit at first.

It looks like this:

[Agree strongly] [Agree slightly] [Neither agree nor disagree] [Disagree strongly] [Disagree slightly] [Don’t know]

Just thought I'd let you guys know :)

[candyflossing]

Over 1300 have viewed this thread. Has also been posted on other freebie sites, so I am sure first 500 have gone now.

[lorweld]

Yeah Candyflossing you're right, I'll move this to freebies gone :)

[ramesheuk]

Thanks I completed it.

But it haven't give any message about sending voucher :-(

[YIB]

That strange. I did the survey and I don't remember them saying it'll come in March. I doubt I'll be getting a voucher tbh... why would it take so long to send a voucher by e-mail?

[emweaver]

hope i was 1 of the first 500 to

[direwolf247]

To be honest if this thread has had 1300 views and everyone checked the thread 3 times i.e. 1st time get the link, 2nd time check when you get the voucher, 3rd time has anyone got the voucher.

Which i bet most have done, we still got a few more places lol.
p.s. cheers to the guy/gal who found this, i did it at 5:30pm yesterday so hopefully im in

[Flickering Ember]

I've just done it now and it asked for my email; time will tell, either way it was an interesting survey.

It does really annoy me the way some people are proud to have lied for the sake of a £5 voucher. You must be so proud of yourselves. Surveys are meant to collect data to help with research.

[scubaangel]

Just filled it in myself, it was far more interesting than the other three surveys I have open at the moment!

[miss-coordinated]

Anyone heard anything about this or recieved their voucher yet?

[p_larkin99]

I've sent them an email just now to see what the story is...will post any reply I get from then on here.

Hope we get one :cool:

EDIT: for some reason the site won't let me contact them, when i send the email it just says null. pretty annoying!

[direwolf247]

Any reply yet?

I really hope i was one of the 1st 500!!!

[direwolf247]

Anybody realized the survey is still up?

D'ya think they are still waiting for 500 people?

[tobybowes]

Again people decide the freebie is a scam way too early, it says theyre sent out in march, its only the 9th, still over two weeks left.

I think theyll of got the 500 already but most surveys like this are still available after the limit has been reached. Im still quite confident that theyll send them out, wether i was one of the first 500 is still to be seen.

[direwolf247]

No im confident its not a scam, im just curious when the vouchers come out. But in my opinion: The sooner the better.

[xsunnysuex]

My partner had an email asking him to take part in a Amazon survey in Nov. He was supposed to receive a £3 voucher. But never did. Even emailed them asking where it was. Never recieved a reply.

[direwolf247]

Well this place looks quite creditable

[idlesaver]

I too finished this survey.

I don't think they will pay....It was just a carrot of £5 amazon voucher to catch all bunnies.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

idlesaver

[direwolf247]

Anyone heard anything from them or dared contact them yet?

[miss-coordinated]

I want to contact them but can't remember which email address I used for the survey..

It is definately not "the begining of March" anymore! Where are our vouchers??

[Grapey]

I did a survey for the same website last year and got my £5 amazon voucher so I would imagine that they will be on there way at some point.

[direwolf247]

I really hope it comes next week, by then we are definatly out of early march.

[Randal]

Apparently it was also put up on a few other forums as well as MSE. With a limit of the first 500 applicants, and (undoubtably as with these offers) with 'greedy' people always trying to get more than one voucher, I suspect that there may have been few if any vouchers left for us.

So the results of the market reserch will be flawed because of a load of free-loaders?

[Randal]

Nature of the game it seems. I don't think many people really care at times, as long as they get the voucher, which is really unfortunate.

There was a recent survey on here with Amazon vouchers. Can't remember exactly what it was - something about Facebook and putting on 5 hot items from UK Deals etc. The award was again something like a £5 voucher from Amazon and everyone seemed to just be doing that.

Then someone mentioned that they had already 'made' something like £175 in vouchers from that offer in a couple of days and that just seemed to start a stampede with it all and the offer was quickly stopped with people trying to abuse it.

[hstudent]

I did this one and haven't received a voucher yet. I did one a year or so ago that may have been this site, but I can't remember, and never got a promised Amazon voucher.

[hstudent]

Just to point out even though it says 25 - you do get rejected.

16 to 25 means if you're 25 years and 1 second old then you're not included.

It's the same with a 16-25 railcard. You can't renew after your 25th birthday, unless you are a mature student.

Good point but surely anyone outside of the 500 wouldn't have gotten the "your vouchers will be sent out at the begining of March message"?

I want my £5 :(

[jamespir]

i havent got mine yet does it comeby email or post

[blackvelvetshoes]

mine hasn't arrived yet and prob won't. I did the survey the month before for a £5 hmv voucher and never got it either. I know I was in the first 500 for the hmv one cos I looked on the discussion board a few days after and they were asking for more people to complete it. I didn't get my voucher but they emailed me and asked if I'd answer a few follow up questions, I replied that they hadn't even paid me for the survey and they never replied to that, bit of a cheek really i thought!

[direwolf247]

I didnt know about hte surveys last month but dang if youre still waiting for last months incentive there isnt much chance for this month to come through.
man i really hope they come through, ive got an album in my Amazon Shopping basket just begging to be bought lol.

[waterhouse_melons]

i signed up to this, never got the vouchers..how are we supposed to get them?, electronically or post?

[bex4adz]

Hi just rang them and they said they haven't sent them out yet but will in the next couple of days, by email. So hold in there we should still get them

[direwolf247]

Nice one Bex4adz, you rock!

[Randal]

Fingers crossed for everyone!!!:beer:

[direwolf247]

...reaching closer to the end of the week.

[miss-coordinated]

still nothing here either :(

[direwolf247]

i think they are going to go against what they said when they said they will have them out in the next few days.

[Randal]

I did this over a week ago asking about the voucher and am yet to receive a reply. :confused:

Don't think this is the same website as the origonal OP link when you look at the address.

Has anyone actually contacted the company direct?

Anyone recieved anything?

[Kitty Wren]

I haven't received a thing.

[kimmy393]

I have not got mine either

[direwolf247]

Im starting to think we wont receive them now.

[direwolf247]

ridiculous, clearly no1 has recived the voucher, there are gna be 100s who dont follow this thread and wont know tht they must complain to receive the voucher.

[kimmy393]

Have just emailed to get my voucher - fingers crossed

[carriebradshaw]

got my voucher this morning :j

[kimmy393]

wow really what via email ??

[idlesaver]

got my voucher this morning :j

Well done you got your voucher....did you email them to get yours or they sent it of their own...????

I tried to email them but got the automated reply saying Sarah is away until 26th of March and today is 26th so fingers crossed.....

idlesaver

[carriebradshaw]

I emailed them last week and it was sent this morning

wow really what via email ??

yes it was :)

[bex4adz]

Hi just had a phone call from them, and said we will have the vouchers by 3pm today, she said she will call me back after 3 to make sure I have recieved it, so we will see

[idlesaver]

Thanks for the update....fingers crossed

[stacey89]

thanks all i hav been wondering over the past few days what happend to this so thanks again 4 the update have emailed them

[AliciaH]

Hi everyone,
Apologies that some of you have been waiting a long time to receive your vouchers. We have had a few issues which means that its taken us longer to get the vouchers out than usual.
All the vouchers have now been sent out to the first 500 people who responded to our survey. If you haven't received a voucher today I'm afraid that means that you weren't in the first 500. We'd love to be able to give vouchers to everyone, but as a charity, it does mean that our resources are limited, and we simply can't afford to give a voucher to everyone who responds.
We know that some of you have been emailing Sarah, here at YouthNet, who has been getting a lot of emails, so hopefully this post will let you all know what is going on.
Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey, we really do appreciate your time.

TheSite.org

[idlesaver]

So not for me then.....SAD

[bex4adz]

My partner and I both got ours, hopefully everyone else has too

[candyflossing]

I did the survey about 5 mins after OP posted this thread and still have not received anything. Did the people who received vouchers see this posted somewhere else and do it earlier or something? :confused:

[stacey89]

pretty annoyed as at the end of survey it stated i would get a voucher is everyone else the same i think once the first 500 had done the survey when we reached the end of ours they should have said that we would not get one instead of giving us false hope.

[bex4adz]

No I did it from here, I did make a few complaints, maybe that has someting to do with it

[miss-coordinated]

So why did some of us recieve the "your vouchers will be sent out in March" message if we weren't in the 500? surely we should have been informed that we had missed out, rather than left expecting them to arrive and wasting our time contacting you when they didn't!

[kirkeastment]

I filled in the survey like 15 minutes after it was posted here, i'd be amused to see who recieved there vouchers, as i replied here as soon as i completed the survey itself, so i have a record of when i completed mine. It'll be interesting as to there response if people who replied after me got a voucher.

Yeah that was very misleading, almost false advertising.

[miss-coordinated]

really annoyed! :mad:

I even recommended this survey to two of my housemates who also got the "your vouchers will be sent..." message so they have wasted thier time as well

Have emailed to complain.
I doubt they even sent out 500 now- sounds like it was all just a scam to get lots of responses.

Charity or not it's still very poor conduct!
Given the option "complete this survey on behalf of so&so charity" would have been fair enough, but luring us in with false promises is downright wrong!:mad:

[direwolf247]

Well im !!!!ed off.
I know i did it soon after it was posted.
Surveys like this never get done that quickly.

[Randal]

I think a lot of people may be forgetting the fact that this wasn't the only forum that this 'offer' was posted on. As well as the MSE Forum, there were a number of others as well.

The OP who posted here may have been one of the later posters of the offer. Hence, many of us were too late. And don't forget the fact that some people will try and take more than there fair share of vouchers. So 500 vouchers could well have been split between say 300 people of even less. It's happened before on here ..................................

[davethorp]

Interestingly the survey is still working and you still get the:

"That's all the questions we need to ask you. Thanks for taking part. As a token of our appreciation, we'd like to send you a free £5 Amazon voucher - no strings attached. To get yours, please enter your email address below (strictly one per person). You'll receive your voucher in early March."

message at the end of it. Not so interestingly neither me nor my partner got a voucher from when we did the survey in Feb :(

I wonder if the advertising standards authority would have anything to say on the subject?

[candyflossing]

Absolutely disgusting behavior from Sarah McCoy at Youthnet. She did not even have the decency to reply to my email, yet she was able to contact MSE ... twice ... to request removal of her email address from this thread so that people who had not received their vouchers were not able to find the means to contact her.

I was one of the first people to apply for this, yet people who applied hours after me have received vouchers. I can only think Sarah McCoy has withheld my voucher because she is unhappy with me giving out the email address. This is extremely indecent, immature and unprofessional, especially for someone who is supposed to be running a charity!

I would never in my life donate to or trust YouthNet UK. If they conduct their surveys in this manner I dread to think how they conduct other matters within their charity.

It's unlikely that she found out your name from your MSE username.

I know how voucher scheme's like this work and it's likely that it's actually Amazon are paying Youth Net to send out £5 Amazon vouchers, sounds strange but it's probably true. It's likely that they couldn't trace who completed the survey when and sent out vouchers to random people.

[candyflossing]

It's unlikely that she found out your name from your MSE username.

Earlier in this thread I posted an email sent to me from Youthnet regarding the lack of Amazon vouchers. This post has now been deleted because Sarah McCoy's contacted MSE and requested that they delete my posts. This is because the post included Sarah McCoy's Youthnet email address and she didn't want people to be able to contact her when they didn't receive their vouchers.

I contacted YouthNet through their website a couple of weeks after everyone from this forum probably contacted the contact you posted. I got a polite and apologetic response saying that they've had problems with the company doing the survey and will try to ensure in the future that no-one incorrectly gets the idea that they are going to get a voucher when they've all been allocated.

I think on this occasion some people will unfairly have not got one as I suspect that people aged 25 and over have tried filling out the survey to get the Amazon voucher.

For future ref I think a thread title of 'Free £5 Amazon voucher 16-25yr olds only' would have been better.

[Reverbe]

This thing never arrived.

Sorry, but I did mention this in my first post.


I too didn't get anything from this,which is annoying especially as others who took the survey using this website (and therefore took it after me) received their voucher and I got nowt.
