Our Top 10 Survey Tips

Survey Tip 1 – Keep your store receipt safe

Many surveys require details from your most recent receipt, so it’s a good idea to keep your receipt and have it nearby before you begin the survey. Important details such as the unique survey code, date and time of purchase and store code can all be found on your receipt and may be required at the beginning of a survey.

Survey Tip 2 – Ask for help when completing online surveys

There are some fantastic resources online like Survey Listens if you are having trouble filling out a survey. This website is filled with survey reviews and should clear up any questions you may have.

Survey Tip 3 – Double check the survey URL

You’ve entered the address and still can’t find the survey? Often companies will have a separate survey site to their normal website, and these addresses could be completely different! Double check your receipt to make sure you are on the survey page and not at the company homepage – chances are both of these URLs are printed on your receipt.

Survey Tip 4 – Voice your opinion online and win

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to surveys. Whether you’ve had a negative experience or a positive experience, this is your chance to tell the company. Personal details like your name and contact details like your phone number and/or email address will not be passed on, so feel free to let the business know how you feel. Your feedback is valuable and will help the store or restaurant improve. And you could win a great prize!

Survey Tip 5 – Remember to read the survey rules and regulations

All the information you could need on the survey is found here. Whether you’re looking for the survey close date, unsure if you can enter more than once, curious as to what the survey prize is or wondering when the survey winners will be drawn, you’ll likely find the answer here. It’s also important to acknowledge the rules as you will be asked to agree to these terms before you submit your survey responses.

Survey Tip 6 – Look out for the ‘About Survey’ section

Every survey on Survey Listens has an ‘about’ section, which can be found at the bottom of the survey. This part is very useful and gives you all the basic information you will need, such as the survey site, company site and the official prize.

Survey Tip 7 – Type in your name and email address to win a prize

The main reason for completing surveys is to take advantage of the great prize, so you can’t forget to include your contact details! If the prize is drawn through sweepstakes it’s necessary to enter your contact details. Sometimes companies will also email out coupons rather than presenting a validation code on screen. If you would like to receive updates and offers it’s also a good reason to enter your personal details.

Survey Tip 8 – Record the redemption code for a free coupon

This will require your receipt again. Lots of surveys will give you a free validation code when you have finished the survey – in these cases, you should write this code on your most recent receipt. This will act as your coupon and should be brought in store next time you visit to take advantage of the great offer.

Survey Tip 9 – Get active on social media like Facebook and win prizes

One of the best ways to really save money and earn rewards is to follow survey sites on social media. Survey Listens posts their new surveys daily, as well as money saving tips, coupons and other great offers on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

Survey Tip 10 – Subscribe to helpful mailing lists for free coupons, prizes and cash

Not ready for social media? If you’d prefer to stick with email, you can still receive some of the benefits. By signing up to the Survey Listens mailing list, you’ll be sent great deals, discounts and competitions, as well as new surveys.
