I got the same message. When I checked my invite email it doesnt mention any zoints, just that I go into a draw to win prizes. I hope this is not a new policy of the site, or I will quickly lose interest in giving up my time for the slight chance of winning a prize.

I read the email and entered into the survey knowing it was a "prize draw" survey but I expected that there would have been some kind of Zoints reward at the end as well, even if it be 50 zoints. I wont completed any more surveys that are "prize draw only". This particular survey had repetitive questions and became quite boring, I wont be spending my time doing such surveys for a small chance of a prize...

I to have just completed this survey. It was long and boring and to receive nothing for it was a dissapointment. I won't be completing any more like this.

Hi all,

 Majority of the time we will be offering Zoints only as always, this is a rare instance where we've decided to go for the prize-draw option.

 Thanks for your participation and help.

I noticed from the invitation that this was offering a (slim) chance in a draw only, with no zoints attached, but didn't expect the survey to be quite so long and boring, and quite poorly written into the bargain. Some of the statements I was supposed to agree or disagree with were laughable! Also, it definitely took longer than 20 minutes, partly because it kept getting frozen up - the window just sat there clicking to itself for almost 5 minutes at one point, and I have broadband!

I should have stuck to my rule of not doing surveys which don't offer a reward to each participant! Never again.

I agree with cycloneviv as the survey kept freezing and it took quite some time to complete, I am concerned that once I have gone through the whole survey that it will not register and therefore not be added in to the 'Prize Draw'.

I am a member of about 10 different survey sites and some of those others have done away with rewards, they only offer prize draws. I am not spending 20 minutes doing a survey for a draw entry. I like Opinions Paid because they pay in zoints. If you change to prize draws i won't bother - like i don't bother with most of the other survey sites. I got phased out of this survey after approx. 5 minutes and was not impressed with the lack of zoints. I am sure glad i didn't spend 20 minutes on completing it like the others here did!

I have to agree with all the earlier comments about the time and repetition. My invite actually said it would take about 15 minutes and here I am with broadband and not freezing up and it has taken closer to 40 minutes to complete. I was also surprised at the lack of options - it was only interested in where you shopped last, but did not give the option of saying whether you shopped at other places - which I do. There are two supermarkets at the centre I generally shop in and we give them both an equal chance - shop weekly but at the alternate supermarket. Therefore one was unabe to give a comparison against the two. I wonder if the survey was slanted to Coles and I would not have got though if I had shopped at the IGA last week.

The people that worked out how long it will take, don't answer truthfully or honestly. That's how they get through it so quick. Maybe everyone else should do the same. (just joking) but really, they don't even get close to the time it takes

I completely agree with the general sentiment. This survey took way too long (and was excruciatingly mind-numbing) to be only compensated for by the mild chance of winning a prize. If there had been some point incentive for all participants additional to the opportunity to win prizes then I'm sure I'd be far less dissatisfied with the whole process.

I also have a general rule where I don't complete surveys for "Prize Draw" only ... but this time with this site I did and go a phone call today saying I won an IPod!!

You never know your luck in a big city!!!

I guess if Opinionspaid.com offer just a handfull of surveys for "Prize Draw" then it's worth it as long as the majority are still for Zoints :)

 Cheers,

 Kat
