Dobbers Posted June 6 #2 Share Posted June 6 Never heard of it and the only thing similar I can find is to do with “financial services” 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Megabear2 Posted June 6 Author #7 Share Posted June 6 I have found some old posts about it now particularly regarding terminology of the t&Cs. As a result I've clicked into the ones in the email and to be honest as they are under UK law they seem pretty bog standard, ie you must not post falsehoods etc. There are 7 paragraphs about how they use and protect data. I note in the old Cunard posts there's a worry about financial risk but these UK ones do not mention anything other than privacy, ie you can't repeat anything you take part in due to business sensitivity. I actually do surveys for other organisations and if this is real it isn't any different from what I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use Tesco vouchers to pay some of my cruise bills, but then you posh folk would know I go to Tesco. Oops . Do Fortnum and Mason do points?.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cloudyrain Posted June 7 #12 Share Posted June 7 I am in On Deck: you fill surveys in and get entered in to a prize-draw where the same 10 people win every month.. Occasionally they invite you for video interviews and then you get a voucher. I thought it was closing though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it seems odd that the one I was on was closed after I and several other members commented that it was statistically improbable for the same people to win the "big" prizes, and it was the same every few months. No one who actively participated in the community boards section had won more than £10. A few of us had done video interviews, but none of the "randomly selected winners" were known or commented despite having won £100s (apparently). As I said, I did a few interviews and got £60 a time for 30 mins, but that was over the space of 18 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
