greeneyeddevils Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 This makes me laugh....I redeemed for an Amazon Gift Cert that is a online cert...I've been waiting a month & a half for this one & this is the response I get from Ipsos today...I blanked out the code..... Hello. We would like to let you know that so far, only the first of these Amazon codes was issued. The first code is:For the second one, we kindly ask you to please allow more time and you should receive it by email. If you encounter any difficulties using it, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you, Amy Ipsos i-say Panel Team WTF? Why should I have to wait for what you owe me?....What they're telling me is we don't have any money to pay you your $10 Amazon cert...that's just plain crap....this is supposed to be one of the best survey companies out there & now they're pulling this crap.....If I don't see this reward in the next week the BBB will be getting a call from me....not cool GREEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSP1973 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 they have slowed way down on getting the checks out to people also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyeddevils Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 they have slowed way down on getting the checks out to people also! My beef is if you're having trouble paying the people you have as survey members now..then stop accepting new members until your cash flow improves....why screw your panel members over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Haven't you ever noticed that after a company(Ipsos)buys a company(OTX) that it takes them longer to get the checks out?I'm guessing this is the reason.Not that it's right but that's my guess as to why the payments are taking longer.

Postby gene55 » Fri Apr 30, 2010 9:49 am April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Ipsos SA, which conducts public opinion polls for Thomson Reuters Corp., the Associated Press, and McClatchy Co., is considering “sizable” acquisitions in the U.S., its chief executive officer said. The Paris-based company is considering targets in developed countries as well as emerging markets, CEO Didier Truchot said in an interview. Ipsos in January said it would pay $71 million for U.S. consumer researcher OTX Corp. to strengthen its online- research capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majax79 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It sounds as though OTX broke their bank. They were more worried about mergers than their survey panelists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 OTX is not bad. You just to know what they are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
