Daily Survey Announcement

[fakrisch]

I too have used a few different e-mails. I thought it was ok. I am truly sorry to have been part of a problem. I will strictly follow the rules whatever they may be. Thanks for all you do everyone at Sunshine!

I also apologize if I have been a part of the problem. I'm very new to the surveys - in that I have just recently slowed down enough to qualify. I hope I haven't taken the same survey more than once, if I did, it certainly wasn't intentionally. I'm finding it's hard to keep track of those I've taken and remember if I already took it. I guess I need to come up with some type of system, provided I'm allowed to continue.

I just had a thought. Why do we even need to put in email addresses prior to a Greenfield survey? It seems to me if you belong to a rewards site and are taking surveys, the info should all just be there each time you go in. I know I don't have to put all that info in when I do one on Pinecone or the other one I occasionally do. But I don't think they use Greenfield as their survey company, either. It would simplify the matter greatly if all this data was already entered, then you can either get a survey, or not, based on this data. As I said, it was just a thought.

I'm sorry if I have caused any issues as well. Most surveys are done with a single e-mail that I use, but DH occasionally does a survey with a different e-mail. I have never knowingly done a survey twice, but I have had some that seem similar but not exactly the same.

One question:

I generally do the follow-up surveys that Greenfield sends, but usually DH does not. Usually he seems to get follow-ups that they say will take 40 or 60 minutes, and he is not going to do that. Is that causing a problem? If so, I won't have him take any more surveys even if Greenfield says multiple household members can take one.

Sorry for any trouble!

Guilty as charged, again. I never thought about it, if the survey came up I did it. I'd just answer questions, and if one came up that looked familiar, sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't, so I just went with the flow. Again, never realized it was wrong--of course, I never really thought very hard about it. Sometimes they'd start out the same, but have different ads and different products, same kinds of questions.

I am so sorry!!! I have also used different email addresses and have had family members take surveys also. I did not realize this was not allowed I always exit out of a survey if I know I already have taken it---although as someone mentioned before sometimes the focus of a survey starts to go a different way and in this case I was always confused on whether to exit out or not I feel so bad that I could be part of the problem. SR is a wonderful site and I am so sorry this has happened

I think, actually, that if you just continue to use the same email address, it will not permit you to take the same survey again. That's why they assume that if you change your email address, it is so that you CAN take the same survey again (which is WAY overbroad an assumption).

That is a broad assumption bc I've also come across several where they may be a week or more apart, same type of survey lets just say cars, but then they change the type or the ads or etc, to me that's not the same survey but again not sure how greenfield is checking it.

I do feel bad, I used two different email addresses just to get off my 24 hr rotation that I got stuck on, so I would alternate between the two every other day. The handful of times it tried to give me a duplicate survey I backed out, but then again as mentioned above some were very similar but different, if that makes any sense.

Does Greenfield take into acct the SM survey's were doing also? I was thinking about it on the way to my son's Home and School meeting tonight and it's very likely with my demographics that I did nearly 60 survey's last month between the daily and the SM survey. But that's ONE per day for each one so two a day for GF. I feel lucky to be able to qualify for so many, but I truely believe it's bc of my demo's which I am being honest about. Having a higher income in a metro area that's very condensed makes me believe that's how we (dh and I) could qualify for so many.

Tricia I hope it all works out for the best for you, I would really hate to see this go down the wrong path and ruin everything you worked so hard for.

I'm another who has used multiple e-mails in the past to get a survey. Hopefully with the new rules completely spelled out, there won't be any more issues with anyone! Sorry Tricia

[jfrog]

AAAACKKK!!!! I am guilty also! I have 3 emails that I jump between and I have also had house guests give it a try from time to time! Some guests were from other states, so the demographics would have been different too....oh my-I am so sorry that I have caused anyone any grief! I don't think I could come anywhere close to 170 per month no matter how hard I tried! But if dh and I took the same survey somewhere down the line and didn't know it...or if someone else here qualified for a survey that I had already taken, I would be more than happy to give those credits back! Like everyone, I thought the few emails we use and asking friends (always from the same computer though) was ok. I cannot believe some folks rushed to cashout! I did not even think of that either! My main concern is for SR to keep its excellent reputation and I am just sick that I have contributed to anything negative in GF's eyes about SR! I'm so sorry, Tricia and Cindy, that you have to go through all of this--like I said, I think anyone of us here that have gotten any survey credits that we shouldn't have will glady give them back. Sending you hugs
