    Me, too. Though I stopped registering for tests when they took the points away.

    I've over 60000 points with this lot and really there's nothing worth spending them on.

    Waste of time.

    Mine arrived this morning , although i remember the invitation stating that I would get one of EITHER lush stuff or boots voucher and now they are saying there is to be a draw. So even testing a product doesnt mean you get owt !:rolleyes:

    Does anybody know if it makes any difference how you answer the two initial questions about product testing?

    Now they have started giving Halfords vouchers it has become more worthwhile doing the surveys.:beer:

    I think you read the email wrong.

    The survey consists of two questionnaires which we would like to invite you to within a time-span of one or two weeks. Take part in this survey and win one of 5 Luxury Lush gift sets or one of 10 £20 Boots Giftcards

    Also, you have gotten more than a lot of people registered with test and vote because you have actually recieved a product to test. Lots of people that have been with them for years have tested nothing.

    Hang on a minute, the point I was making was it doesnt say "be in with a chance of winning", it says WIN That would indicate that at the end of the trial i will either get A or B


    Also, regardless of the fact i've gotten a product to test, I am still allowed to post an opinion. This isnt me getting a plasma Tv for free and complaining that it didnt come in silver. I received enough to last about 2 weeks and im potentially doing it for free, the whole reason im with the site is to receive something for my time and effort - i was merely pointing out to those that havent yet tested a product that its not that great anyway !

    My intention was not to imply that your opinion was any less relevant than any other opinion. If you feel that was the result then I apologise for hurting your feelings.
    The point that I was trying to make was that the email said win and not that you would receive one of the prizes.
    The term win suggests a competition.
    As for testing it for free, you keep the product after the test so you are still getting something for nothing.
    I have been lucky enough to try a few products for test and vote (dog food, digestive biscuits, mini pringles and now dove) but the feeling that you get when you are chosen to test a product is something that many people registered with them have never felt.
    I am not suggesting that you should be "grateful" (for want of a better word) that you got to test something, I was merely trying to point out that you received something that not all members did.
    Again, I apologise if you felt I implied that your opinion was not wanted, MSE is all about sharing our experiences with various companies and I for one like to get a well rounded view before I make any judgements. So the more opinions, the better!
    Here's hoping we all get something good to test!
