MAKE YOUR VIEWS COUNT Consumer Panel

Has anyone else been a member of the MAKE YOUR VIEWS COUNT consumer panel?
A few years ago I use to provide information on my shopping habits for Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) and was rewarded financially every 6 weeks. Then I was told that TNS had "lost the contract" and was offered the chance to join the MAKE YOUR VIEWS COUNT panel where , for completing on-line surveys & posting shopping receipts, I would be rewarded with points which could be redeemed at their on-line catalogue. This panel was suddenly closed months ago with apologies and promises that points earned would be converted & we would be reunited with TNS Survey Panel. We were told to wait for an e.mail with instructions. This never happened & about 18 months of survey filling & returning receipts have resulted in nothing. I've tried to e.mail the original site but no reply & now the sites gone completely.
I am going to contact TNS to see if they can help but wondered if anyone else was a panel member or was it just me. (Saddo) :rolleyes:

    I was a member too but have heard nothing recently. Fortunately I converted most of my points just before they disappeared - think I got about £40 Argos vouchers if I remember correctly.
  • Yes I too fell victim of Make your Views Count - I am angry that I didn't cash in my points before they disappeared. It has made me very wary of other sites and I won't be too eager before committing my time again. I just did a search tonight to find out if anyone knew where they had gone too and found this thread on the forum, so I guess thats all my points gone!

    Angry or what :mad:

    Yes me too. I too tried to track it down. I send an email a while back which I assume was delivered as it never bounced back. It was a Susan Scotland or someone.
    Let us know how you get on with TNS perhaps we could all get tog and complain.
    I have never met a calorie yet I didn't like!!
