Spazmobot Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I get a Shopper's Perspective survey maybe once per month. Their rewards are Tango Card only, in denominations of $5 an $10. It's taken about 4 months to get my first $5 Tango card. SP's surveys are very short, so I don't mind, I figure, free money is free money, right? So, I finally got my $5 Tango card email today. I've never had a Tango card, and I'd briefly looked at the Tango website but there;s not much to it. I made a Tango account, put in my redemption code and pin, and it tells me I have a card that originally had $5, but now has $0. * So, I wrote to SP, and we'll see, but it just seems like a headache. All to get $5? Have any of you gotten a Tango reward for your surveys, and is there something I'm missing or did wrong here? The Tango website isn't very helpful... Is it possible, that they gave e a Tango card number that someone else had already been rewarded with? (As so completely impossible as that sounds?)

Spazmobot Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 HAhaha...I just got an email... " Updated Tango Card Code -- You may have noticed that we have sent you an invalid Tango card in a recent email. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. " ... Why yes, I may have noticed that, lol. Ok, so I ordered an Amazon GC. They had a bunch of other ones, so, now I wait for the Amazon code to come. Seems a roundabout way to do things doesn't it? I do surveys for four months, so that I get to a cashout amount, which allows me to order a card, which comes in a week or so, so I can order a card, which comes in a day or so, so I can apply to an account and finally buy something.... ...for $5... Ehk, it's free money. Can't complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksedwar Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Have any of you gotten a Tango reward for your surveys..... No but I have thought about getting one in the past. A Tango Card can be redeemed for other gift cards on the Tango website. I guess offering Tango makes it easier for the survey panel. Instead of offering multiple cash out options they can offer one and save time as well as money on processing. Click here for a list of cards you can buy.

Spazmobot Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Please don't call it "free". I assume you earned it by spending your time!! Of course, you're right about that. I did spend some time, I just kind of look at it like, well, I give my opinion out all he time, and this is kind of where I can get paid for it. Good point though!

Spazmobot Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 ksedwar - I hadn't thought about that... Your Word is always running out of Amazon codes because they run it themselves. So, I guess it makes sense to have some other company deal with the headache of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they process on weekends based on my experience. Don't know about physical gift cards as I usually get Amazon or Target or Starbucks which are all electronic.ETA: Based on the link provided by Ksedwar they are all digital.

footfree Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I hate giving digital cards as gifts -they are so impersonal.However going in to the store and trading them for a physical card is a can do.I like that I can get a Target gc with them.

However, Target does have their own wifi network in stores. Think that works. I've only done it once using a carrier network with their app on a smartphone.

Spazmobot Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 i requested my Tango Card on 10/10. Got it approved 10/17. So, I went on the site and got a $5 Amazon card and it came later in the day on 10/17. It was by email, but some of these cards are for restaurants, so I'm wondering if you choose a restaurant one, maybe those are physical cards? Or can you use an online code when you go out to eat? I dunno.. I just figured Amazon I can spend on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno.. I just figured Amazon I can spend on anything. There are 3 types of gift cards. e-cards which can only be used online. Vouchers which are sent by email and can be printed and used in-store(like restaurants) and maybe online and finally physical gift cards which can be used in-store and maybe online.
