  • Quick heads-up...

    I've just received an email asking me to update the Hair Removal section of my profile for volunteer selection today. I'm guessing they want people who will be waxing in the next few weeks...

    Hi,
    Yep, ticked everything, I also log on daily to see if my profiles suddenly need to be completed, or if my profile changes in any way. I also shop everywhere, and spend way too much money on skincare, personal care, makeup,- you name it, its in my bathroom, kitchen or make-up box! so I don't even have to pretend that I do use everything, I do!- yet not a single test and I joined way back in the middle of last year!

    I've lost confidence that I'll ever get a trial with AOR. I finally received a VERY VERY snotty reply to my query regarding this and was more or less told tough luck - I left it a few days and emailed them asking to unsubscribe me and WHOA - within half an hour of emailing them, they replied telling me my data had been removed...I won't be hurrying to join up again...
    All these years since I left school and I've never once had to use Algebra
  • Funny that I was also wondering why I hadn't recieved any trials had a nice email back and within 2 days I had a trial

    Have you put all your family on? done all the training and regularly update all your profiles?

    Cant think of anything else :beer:
    I have never even been offered one either... ticked everything, everything up to date etc...:confused:

  • Do they maybe only take a number of people from each geographic region for trials? Just wondering because I signed up a couple of years ago at my old address (in Scotland), did the training, completed the profiles for me and my husband, but I had absolutely nothing from them. I moved 500 miles down South three months ago and decided to sign up again with a new email address. I've already had several emails asking me to update my profile and have just done the cooling body mist trial. Fingers crossed there'll be plenty more to come.

    I don't know if this is how they work but it could explain why some people seem to get absolutely nothing while others get loads.
  • Recieved body scrub this morning and it had leaked everywhere need to mail them to send me another one now lol

    Seems very quiet from ayton/clixresearch at present, in past i have tended to get one trial and then signed up for another before that one finishes, methinks the credit crunch is affecting research and develpment budgets of companies.
    Just because your paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you ! :rotfl:

    The last couple I've been invited to have been consumer research questionnaires, with no product to test. The latest one seems to be on bread!! I had to update my profile on waxing the other day so hopefully new trials will be coming up.
