POLL: Is the chance to win a prize NOW DAYS enough to get you to fill out surveys or participate in research?

The phenomonon is this: More research companies are collecting data from consumers, particularly with the ease of distribution and feedback that the internet affords. So surveys are popping up everywhere on-line and more and more are asking you to spend 10, 20, 30 minutes or more filling them out...and for what? A "chance" to win some prize? And if you've ever participated in these, you know that it is RARE (if ever) that you win.





So are you feeling "survey burnout" now such that you are less inclinded to spend time participating in a survey that collects personal information on you, your demongraphics, you buying habits, etc., for nothing more than a CHANCE to win something that in all probability, just won't happen?





Is that "sweepstakes play" becoming more of a "suckers bet" now that these surveys are everywhere?





Or do you feel your free contribution to research is somehow bringing you something valuable, even though you rarely get the benefit of the survey results?

In responce to the people who answered before me:





If the company claims to give away 5,000 dollars monthly, then they are legally obligated to do so. However (loophole!), unless within their contest rules they explain the method by which they choose the winner, they could simply give it to any contestant they want to.... even themselves!





But no, I would never do one of those surveys. They're simply too time consuming. And the notion of "winning" something in a game of chance like that is really not worth putting effort towards... chances of winning are so small that they might as well not exist.
Reply:I've done surveys for a long time and I created a whole blog about FREE surveys. I posted tutorial videos, proof of payment (checks), legit survey sites, and contact info if you want more guidance or have questions.

Reply:I am so tired of surveys. Every time I go to the store there is another 2 feet of receipt about a survey. If you call in you can save 10% off your next purchase, win $5000, etc. Save a tree and quit printing those crazy receipts. I am not going to do it! If they gave me a larger discount I would think about it. And $5000 yeah right. I wonder if they really ever have a monthy winner! I bet they have never given away a penny!
