    i also do not get any vouchers anymore, i used to get them early last year but not any for a long time now and have done loads of surveys. i am also still waiting for my yearly questionnaire :( parcel suppose to be sent

    I am just thinking what is the point of being with them if they are not giving you any rewards. Its great if you are getting a perfum once a year but what if nothing at all...:( I joined them last year in October and in 2011 I've done 4 surveys for them and 6 surveys for the year 2012. What I am getting? Nothing at all. I am not so interested in their vouchers as in perfum. I have e-mailed them yesterday but they're not even replying..

    I'm the same, I do surveys and trial products frequently.
    I've not had vouchers or my annual questionaire and perfume.
    Did you email them ?

    Today I've completed my seventh survey for them for year 2012. No sign of my vouchers as yet. I think they accepted me as a volonteer... I e-mailed them enquiring about it but they keep ignoring my e-mailes...

    I have so many part bottles of fabric conditioner in my kitchen cupboard that I do not think I will need to buy any at all this year, lol, Givauden are great for these kinds of tests. I wouldn't mind much if they didn't pay me for the surveys as I got the free perfume and get several product tests a year from them. However, I do get at least two Capital Bonds a year from them, sometimes more as they occasionally offer a voucher just for doing one really LONG survey (best part of an hour). I don't know what the situation is with who gets perfume, I was really surprised when I got it and wondered if it was a product test I was supposed to be doing until I read this topic. I participated frequently last year, and I never got around to returning last year's mega-form, so that alone does not seem to rule someone out of getting perfume. Which reminds me, I still need to finish this year's form, if they had put it online I would have completed it the day I received it. I detest filling out physical forms ;o)

    Thanks, so if you don't send them an email, they think you have received the perfume ? Or is it only certain people who are getting it ? Thanks for your help.

    I'd best check my mail. I'm hoping its one of their thick distinctive white envelopes, as would hate to have thrown one away with the junk mail. I usually check anything important looking.
    Oh well...
