    If they are,

    There's no "if" about it.
    It's their raison d'etre.

    . If the people providing the prizes don't pay Sprinkle and the people trying to win the prizes don't pay Sprinkle and there are no adverts, how is Sprinkle managing to survive?

    Did Rich answer your Question ?

    Hello All

    >>I agree, his doublespeak and reluctance to answer simple questions
    >>did nothing to allay my suspicions of this company.

    Doublespeak? Could you provide an example please.

    >> By selling compers details.

    snakepilsem that's false and a whilst you are entitled to your opinion it is basically a lie from you hoping to dirty the site's reputation. I would politely ask you to stop stating things with no basis on fact please.

    The money comes from Potential Investments Ltd. Simple.

    Thanks

    So Sprinkle collect the information for other companies and are later paid for it.

    Would that be correct ?
    #######

    Not as I see it.

    There is a slight variation, and this is key. The onus is on the member.

    The "data" is given to us by the user and with their permission it is passed to the external company so that they can send the offer / voucher / gift / whatever.


    Thanks

    In my house certain words and phrases going into a pretend box, Not to be used as they will drive people nuts.

    Examples: Matt Damon (as he was hollered around the house)
    Banter (used as an excuse for being horrid to each other)
    Yolo (just because it irks me)
    Driving home for Christmas (used to be sung as insult between siblings)
    I'll do it later ( it will never get done)

    Now if Compers chat had a pretend box surely

    Spinkle should be in the box ( the subject of sprinkle has been done and dissected to a miniscule degree)

    Snake the punishments here consist of cleaning lawn of daily dog mess, and ban of dishwasher for a week so we shall put Potential Investments Ltd in the pretend box too.
