TNS food diary

Just got an invite in the post from TNS inviting me to do a food diary for 2 weeks, invite say you get a capitalbonds voucher, (looked on the website and you get £15)

Has anyone else had one? I have tried registering, but it says my invite number isn't valid, tried phoning the number on the invite, but it's wrong, (there is a "0" missing at the end) finally got through and it's answer machine,

just wondering how others got on with it and is it worth doing,

    I did one, and it is a bit long-winded, however, the £15 I got made up for it. It depends how much you want the £15 i suppose. The voucher comes quite quick after you've sent the diary back (postage paid envelope).

    i do these
    its £15 for everyone
    you get 4 a year and after you compleate the 4th you get a bonus £15

    i also got an online one for 7 days and that got me £7 vouchers
  • Thanks for your replies.:beer:

    I will try again (to register)

    I'm trying to build up my vouchers as extra xmas pressies, so this will come in handy as an extra £15 :T

  • I registered for TNS this week through the nectar website - you get nectar points for doing the initial survey, and then further ones after that. Not sure if they run this nectar scheme separately to a cash one.

    yes I think it was through the TNS/ nectar one, I had forgotten about that actually and did wonder why I had been sent it.
    Have you had you invitation through yet? if so let me know how you got on with registering.
