Not sure how the points have converted over from Wonderbug to IPSOS

My points on 1-nov-12 were ..
IPSOS = 715 points
Wonderbug = 6,140 points

Points earned on IPSOS since 1st nov = 249 .. gives a total 964 points
so I got 426 points from Wonderbug points.

My points today on IPSOS = 1,390 .. so enough for a £10 amazon voucher

I'm quite happy as I was going to ditch Wonderbug after reaching payout on there anyway

I've had this email too. I claimed my first and only voucher reward from Wonderbug only about 3 weeks ago.

I am wondering if I would have been better off leaving it to transfer to Ipsos!

Happily, I have just completed an Ipsos survey with Wonderbug name on it and I have been invited to a product trial.

Cally- re points conversion
The 100 wonderbug points (usually for not qualifying) shows up in my Ipsos as 7 points now.
So yours should have been roughly 61 x 7 = 427

I am so happy that it's been converted, having given up completely on wonderbug! Thanks Ippy.

Wonderbug was a pain in the *** for me. Gave up after about a year.

Hi

Were you guys already members of IPSOS?
I too was about to give up on Wonderbug but thought I'd wait and see what happened when the website relaunched, then got that email. But I've checked my existing IPSOS account and haven't had any points added to this. How did they show up in your list of reward points? Did it say it was from Wonderbug?

I was already a member of IPSOS with the same email address as used on Wonderbug.
I only noticed points added as it was a big increase compared to what my points were previously.
Nothing in ledger to say Wonderbug points converted

I guess it depends on how many Wonderbug points you had before they merged.

Thanks I can't see that anything has been added, I only had about 3260 points on Wonderbug so not a huge amount but they took me ages to get so would be nice to get something! Have emailed them so will see what they say.
