Test & Vote (merged)

weaver

Im happy with test & vote - except I ordered 2 vouchers last year, they took ages to arrive and the expiry date was within a week. Never tested a product though.

Hope this has changed as Ive got enough points to get £40 of Amazon vouchers and some surveys points still pending im saving them for xmas)

ps I agreed you gov is too high a threashhold - been with them 2 years and upto £36.00 - once I reach the £50 Ill cancel my membership

Don't forget everyone gets different quick votes depending on their profile surveys they have filled out.

Do you know this as a fact, because most of my "quick votes" are completely irrelevany to me!

I always thought everybody got the same "quick votes" and that the extra information was added to your profile to sort out which surveys are sent to you.

I've had a few problems with them in the past but when they changed the criteria for vouchers (from 20,00 points up to 40,000) I complained and they sent me 10,000 points for nothing so don't be afraid to complain!!

I've never had any product tests but I do get surveys quite regularly and according to my profile, I've had £40 of vouchers so far!! Your best bet is to make sure you fill out all of their questionnaires in the 'topics' section as you pick up qite a few points there as well as a bonus for doing them all, and always complete all the quick votes with a 'yes' so you will be chosen for more surveys...

Here's my profile of points incase anyone is interested. I've cut down the 'quick votes' bit as there tend to be more than 10 of them appear at a time...

Yes, this is true. I recently answered a quick vote about sensitive teeth and have today been offered a product test for a sensitive toothpaste.

There are two new Quick Votes: MP3 players and recording your own voice.


I've just been credited more points for a survey than what the email said... Then again, I've waited for them long enough!

dickibobboy

can i just ask?, i have registerd and i have 10,900 points? what does this mean. i have applied to test things, but i dont know how it really works. if you test something do you have to send it back? is there any fees at all?

You are unlikely to ever get to test anything.

When you reach 40,000 points you can cash your points in for a £10 Amazon voucher.

I have 37,190 points after doing 2 surveys (10k and 15k) recently.

Just keep doing the quick votes and applying for product tests and you'll eventually reach the 40k target. :beer:
