What rewards do I get for completing surveys?
Charity Donations
Buzz has a very important charity programme where we make
regular donations to a number of New Zealand charities.
If you choose one of these charities, each time you do a survey
for us they will receive the money that you have earnt.

read more about our charities.
or School Donations
When you sign up with us, you'll see a list of all the NZ
schools off the Ministry of Education website. You simply pick the
school of your choice as you sign up. Then, when you complete a
Research Survey for us we'll put a minimum of $1 into the school
pot you have nominated.
If you get your school network to sign up and, say, for example,
250 people filled out a survey, your school would receive $250. How
simple is that!

or Bee Points for Shopping Vouchers
Your third choice is to put your Research Survey rewards towards
earning your own great shopping vouchers.

vouchers you can receive.

credited to your Shopping Voucher total.

A BIG Annual Prize
In December 2009 Sandy of Christchurch was the lucky winner of
the 2009 car draw! Past winners of the car have been Ron from
Wellington in 2006 and Kelly from the North Shore in 2007. Each won
a brand new car valued at over $23,000.

(in 2010, due to feedback from our members we have moved to 2
$10,000 draws each year!)
plus ... Have Your Say
These surveys are about high interest, topical subjects and
politics. Sometimes we do these for Media companies, sometimes for
political groups and sometimes off our own bat.
A few important things about our Have Your Say surveys?
- We'll always try to tell you who the client is, particularly if
it is a political group (Buzz doesn't have any political
affiliations incidentally and try hard to represent our panel's
view rather than ours or our clients)
- We always try to load the results on the website at the end of
the study so you can check our what others said (something we
usually can't do for our Research Surveys)
- Taking part in Have Your Say surveys doesn't trigger the
donations or shopping voucher credits but you do get your prize
entries in the monthly and annual car draws.
What type of companies do you work for?
We have a very diverse range of clients that range from
corporate businesses, through government organisations, across
major advertising and media companies, right down to the guy round
the corner who is wanting to find out the public's opinion on his
new idea. It's a very diverse group!
Can I opt out?
On every email we send you there is an unsubscribe link.
