Survey sites won't accept my postcode

redleaf_2

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and wondered if anyone could give me some advice. I've signed up to four survey sites recently and two of them are saying my post code doesn't exist. On valued opinions this doesn't seem to matter, but for Global Test Market, it's preventing me registering. Any one got any ideas?

Also I am unemployed due to long term sickness and thus seem to get turned down for a lot of surveys. Is this common?

Welcome Have you tried entering with / without spaces? Are you sure you've selected the correct country before you enter it?

It is common to be turned down for surveys; however don't be too put off, there are some that others will be turned down for that you will be able to do.

Hi there,

yeah - I've tried entering with spaces and without spaces, and I've just now double checked I've got the correct country, but it's still not working. I just can't understand why! I'm considering registering my address as my sister's house or something, but I don't know if they'd be funny if they somehow worked out it wasn't my actual address.

I had the same problem when I tried to join Tribal Panal. Here is a reply I got. It worked on their site, I hope it works on Global Test Market for you :beer:

When joining Triaba Panel I found it would not accept our post code as it consists of two letters and one number. Got round this by adding a zero prior to the number (ie. AB 3 became AB03) and it accepted it.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately my postcode already contains two numbers. It's in the format: XY10 1WV. Thanks for the suggestion though!!!

Is the postcode correct? Perhaps check it online to make sure it is showing up?

My post code also has two numbers. So this isn't my code by the way Say its AB12 7HP

I put AB012 7HP I know it seems weird but I tried it & it worked. Fingers crossed :j

Make sure you type in a zero not the letter o for the postcode XY10 1WV. Sorry if stating the obvious but it should accept if correct.I belong to global test market and they are very good.;)

Thanks for all these tips. Still nothings working, so I have to admit I've given up on Global Test Market. Think I'll just stick with the one's who know my postcode's real!!

Ok Ive had another think about this. You know which extra number which was given to you in your postcode.

So say my Post code was XP2 4XP then we were given the extra number to now make the post code XP52 4XP

Well take the extra number out & put the 0 in so
XP02 4XP

Im now thinking thats what I did for the other site. Worth a try anyway
