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.

or School and Sports Club Donations

When you sign up with us, you can pick a New Zealand school or sports club. Then, when you complete a Research Survey for us we'll put a minimum of $1 into the school/club 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!

Sports clubs need to be pre-registered with us so if your club isn't on the list when you sign up just email us.

or Bee Points for Shopping Vouchers

Your third choice is to put your Research Survey rewards towards earning your own great shopping vouchers.

If you choose this option, you'll have a choice of which vouchers you can receive.

A $20 voucher from:

Babycity
The CD & DVD Store
DigiRama
Gardening
Hunting and Fishing
Jeanswest
Life Pharmacy
Mag and Turbo
Mitre 10
Movie Card
Paperplus
Stirling Sports
The Warehouse

Each time we send you a Research Survey we'll tell you how many BeePoints you can earn by completing it. These are instantly credited to your Shopping Voucher total.

When you get to 2000 BeePoints you can log in at www.buzzthepeople.co.nz and order the shopping voucher of your choice.

You can change your selected reward at any time by logging in at www.buzzthepeople.co.nz.

plus ... Amazing Prize Draws - Be in to win $10,000 twice a year!

When you do any survey for us (a 'Have Your Say?Survey or a Research Survey), you'll automatically get an entry into our great Monthly and Bi-Annual cash prize draws.

We also offer special prizes for some surveys and tell you about these when we send the survey to you.

Please remember, that your details must be up to date in your log-in area to be able to win prizes!

Our sweepstake prizes are as follows:

Spot Prizes

Over the last year we have had many cash spot prizes, laptop winners as well as 2 lucky winners of $2,500 worth of travel vouchers!

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're moving 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.

Over the past year we've covered Biofuels, Money and Morals, Inheritances, Election issues, The Rugby World Cup stadium, Marketing of Credit plus others - and you can expect some meaty subjects as we approach the 2008 elections.

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 cash prize draws.
