susiejean Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I stopped doing their surveys a long time ago. I couldn't figure out what my rewards were and never got enough points from them to matter. Deleted them a long, long time ago. Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm dropping them as well. It seems that all I do is spend time doing their contests, I don't make anything for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurveyBang Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dont do sweepstakes surveys. Dont take surveys that offer no money. Dont give away you time for anything other than a payment of some sort. Dont steal from babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskababygirl Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I joined but then I opted out. a chance at winning something? seriously, If it was saving points to get a gift card or something then I might have stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSP1973 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I finally dropped them, tried them for awhile. But the point to use just for contest is a joke. The chances of ever winning anything a slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot2007 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 It is kind of silly to do surveys for sweepstakes, but I do NPDOR for the instant win game. I have won $5, and that was my first check that made me begin to do surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majax79 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I decided to do some quick research on NPD and they claim to have 1.8 million active users and 1,800 clients. They also seem to have quite a bit of staff and management. Middle level manager there makes around $50,000 a year according to one website I checked. 1,800 clients that are too cheap to offer monetary compensation for consumer information? From what I've been learning in business classes, information is more valuable than anything else. This company annoys me the most out of all the other survey companies because the employees are making out like bandits and they have 1.8 million panelist which they completely screw over by offering no monetary compensation. I just read an article that NPD Group has a joint venture with Fusion Marketing to get research on fresh produce. I would LOVE to get some inside information on this company.

Wow, I didn't know they could find 1.8 million people that was that dumb all at one time. I have to admit they got a few free surveys out of me for a short time. I don't think its the clients that are cheap, its NPDOR. They get paid well but have enough people working for nothing so they don't have to pay. Of all the forums I have been on over the years, I don't recall hearing one single person say they had won anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is one that I wouldn't waste my time on after I had 230 points. That is all I could get after 6 months of taking surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
