Savanta.com does not field surveys, they use panels to insulate themselves from their atrocious content and conduct. I finished a long and very, very boring survey from savanta.com. It was so boring I fell asleep several times. This was the one on fashion accessories. I even provided feedback on the survey in the comments section and screened out after selecting the submit button. I will never do any survey of theirs again, meaning I will abort if it comes up FROM ANY PANEL, not just BizCoin. I think this practice of stringing the individuals engaging a survey until the very end is panelist abuse. I sent a link of this thread to Savanta.com, with a note that their clients can find this. Let's see if there is a response.

I live in the NYC area and still haven't seen any upcoming focus groups offering in person research studies, even as all offices are allowed to reopen. Every one of my invites continue to be for webcam or zoom style groups. I am just curious if we have seen the end of all "in-person" focus group/research studies due to COVID? I must admit that even before the pandemic, I noticed less in-person invitations. This would be a shame because I do not own a webcam and also do not like chasing after these various companies for my pay. I only prefer to participate with in person groups. A rep from Hagen Sinclair told me that he does not see any in person groups returning. However, I did receive a few short, unpaid "feeler surveys" from a few focus group companies asking if I'dbe comfortable attending in-person groups again, and if so, which precautions would be necessary to get me back. Has anyone been invited to in-person focus groups yet, since reopenings?

Surveys.

Good grief, looks like IPSOS is a bunch of booger eatin’ morons! How brain dead can a panel be when they expect people to take surveys for nothing? Idiots.

So sorry to hear you had to go through that. Now I know another panel to avoid like the plague.

Same here. I don't get many Savantas, but I close them out immediately when I do get one.

Web

Spider!

I signed in to do one of the router ones through Mypoints and had to give my email. One day later I am getting all kinds of spam. I mark it as junk, and it just keeps coming. Now I am getting job offers for Canada. I live in the Midwest of US, so no thanks. I am getting emails about enhancing body parts that I don't and never have had. I apparently am thought to be disabled/depressed. You name, I got it apparently. UGH!!

footfree, Went through for me but they mailed me a check anyway. Hope it works for you.

Truth is we really have no idea what happens to our data. It's floating around on the internet. I can relate to this. I trust no-one.

I was recruited to do a online focus group by this Chicago company. They wasted two phone calls to me, asked me screening questions all over again, after I entered that online prior to this call. Now I get a [hone message last evening inviting me to participate in that group today at 6:00 p.m. but nobody ever answers their business phone at the number left to me. I have been so aggrevated today that I could bite nails in to. This isn't the first time they have done this to me and yet I still believed them. This is no way to run a business. I've left them angry phone messages and facebook messages to the same end, but well, that for letting me vent. Stay away from this group if you value your time.

Similar thing happening to me on my Gmail account , which is used exclusively for Winloot. However , it isn't Winloot that I suspect , but a partner that offers an interstitial game that I entered. Ever since , been getting all sorts of political crap.
