Free gift from Givaudan for completing perfume survey

freeisgood

Yup. Was in JL today and smelt the eau de parfum and yes defo the real thing. Great, I will not be using it as an air freshener, it will be on my dressing table.

I wasn't being ungrateful, just its strange to receive something that is unidentified that is actually so good! If it wasn't for MSE who would know what perfume it was.

I bet if you sent 1000 people an unlabeled pot of creme de la mer at least a quarter would think it was a dodgy cheap creme and use it on their feet.

and I bet at least a quarter would put their bottles on ebay to sell....as happens on a regular basis with the products BZZ send to trial...

The reason the perfume is not packaged in a "ready for sale mode" is possibly to prevent resale

I highly agree about Givaudan and I may well stop bothering with the GfK shopping survey; it's more work for fewer rewards and my time is precious. I highly appreciate how consistently good, prompt and friendly Givaudan are. As for the perfume, I loved the gesture, had no spring/summer one and no money so I've decided I rather like my MDC

I e mailed them to see if I was entitiled only to be told they had no record of me. I have done numerous surveys and filled out the enormous application form over a year ago. They said do I have any e mails they have sent me. I Dont!!!!!
I am totally disgusted as they sent me a fabric softener a month ago in a very small bottle it was delivered by Parcelforce and I had to go pick it up.
I suppose I should have saved e mails but when I have filled them out I send them back or delete them.
Just wait till they send the next.!!

I recently joined this panel but I'm not sure what it's about.

I was sent my first survey today, no mention of rewards or anything, just a survey about various detergents, which took about 10 minutes to do.

Is this all that will happen, I will get surveys most of the time without receiving any products to try? I notice that a lot of you receive products, but do you also have surveys in between times where you just answer them and don't receive anything?

I'm a bit flummoxed because with most survey sites, if you don't test something, they either reward you in some way or put your name into a draw.

Many thanks.

yes, sometimes you get sent a product to try.

Other times it's just a survey to complete ... depends how long the survey is, as to whether you get sent a £5 capital bond voucher.

You do sometimes get products to test. But mostly you get surveys. You do however get capital bond gift vouchers when you've done a certain amount of survey's. I think it's about 5 surveys.

I seem to remember it might be every 3 surveys.

Wrong - it's 5 surveys, sorry.
