    4 years, wow, i've had £10(10 £1 surveys) in around 5 months.

    I've had more but the majority I don't qualify for for one reason or another.

    Hi

    I just recieved a email from consumerpulse :o

    at the weekend i receieved two amazon vouchers and i'd only ordered one. I did wonder why, then thought it might have been the survey i was emailed for 1000 (im unsure if i was credited with these points). I hummed are arred, then decided to put them in my amazon e-wallet :)

    now i just read my email and i have a email from consumer pulse saying there has been a mistake, and they have sent me a voucher too many :eek:

    They say i have to give them my number, and they'll call me. So im emailing them right now, but unsure what to say. I hope the email words just by replying to them? help! :o
    :)

    I have emailed them!. im so unlucky arent it, i was wondering why i had 2 vouchers, it took me 2 days to decide it wasnt a mistake and then i stuck them on my amazon e-wallet thing. I can see me having to send them £10 in a envelope or something crazy like that :o

    When logging into ItsYourView trying logging in from the left hand menu. It usually works alright for me.
  • opinion world clearly state in your email invitation to a survey what the reward is once qualified and competed, i know this because after my first survey it too said nothing about any reward so i emailed them and they said it states at the start of the email and they do not have a balance anywhere on their site - you have to keep track yourself. payment is via paypal not nectar points.bonus is there is no cashout with this site you get paid as and when.

    i was a member of this for ages, i never got any cash or vouchers. All it said was i do surveys, they give cash to charity :confused: its ok if you like to do that, but there is no proof they give cash to anybody!.

    hello,

    I'm after a bit of advice please. I have taken part in every IPSOS survey i have been able to and obviously collecting the points for doing so. I have now received an e-mail from IPSOS saying as i haven't accessed the site in such a long time they will be taking all my points off me. obviously i am not too happy about this and was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Would it be worth e-mailing someone about this???

    TIA

    I had my account closed by Global Test Market because I hadn't logged on for a long time but they allowed me to re-open when I queried with them. Not had any problems with IPSOS.

    Why don't you contact IPSOS and explain you had been allowing the points to build up & a reason for not accessing recently - ? no surveys sent to you or?? Then it could be worth using your points immediately - I think you need 750 points to get a £5 vouchers of various kinds.

    Do you build up your points quickly? They might come back and say they will reduce your balance by the 10000 points until you clear that amount again. If you haven't cashed in the voucher, surely it would be easy to return it.
    But have to say if you really did think it was wrong, would probably have been best to query straight away. I think they are one of the better sites & even if you have nothing to record you can still get your weekly 500 points.
