BizRate's Misleading Newsletter Sign Up Page

BizRate is a site where you can rate the merchants after you've made your online purchases. One offer they have all the time is their Daily Cash Giveaway where 20 winners will get $25 everyday. The requirement is that you need to rate the merchant you just shopped at. It's pretty easy and quick. At the end of your rating, you'll come to this submission page where you can see why BizRate is misleading the users to sign up for their newsletter. Look closely. You don't actually have to sign up for the newsletter to be entered in the $25 daily cash giveaway. but because the default option bullet is for the sign up, and they boldly put Click here to enter... Good Luck" there, most users who don't read the fine print would go ahead to click the yellow enter button on the right. Slimy!

100 Birthday Bonus Points from Synovate

I received a birthday email from Synovate saying that I am credited with 100 points as a birthday gift. Well, at least they gave me something! I think all other panels have the decency to send its members birthday emails/greetings which are all automated, so don't get overexcited thinking they singled you out for some wishes and hushes. Anyway, thank you Synovate. I am 100 points closer to achieving the next redemption level, let's put it that way. :)

Received $5 Survey Check from One Research Center

I also received a $5 check from One Research Center for what I believe to be a survey. Sorry, I don't quite remember from which exact survey is this reward from. It might be from other panels or directly from One Research Center (which I don't recall). Anyway, I did it and I got it. Cashed out. One Research Center pays?

Redeemed $10 from Synovate

I received a $10 check from Synovate for my survey participation with them. This is the second time I've redeemed from Synovate successfully. It takes 10,000 points for redeem for $10. I've received surveys on a weekly basis and the reward levels vary by the length and topics of research. I've also been offered to test products (which I shall not disclose to the public) and gain extra points for follow-up surveys on my experience on using the mentioned products. Synovate pays!
