By completing our surveys you go in the draw for both monthly gift vouchers (you choose which of our stores the voucher is for), and for our major cash prizes of $10,000 every 6 months.

Every survey you complete gives you another entry, plus, just by joining the panel you are in the next prize draws.

Whilst your sports club gets your $1 for each survey you do, you personally get the prize entries.

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 Sports Club and School Donations

When you sign up with us, you'll see a list of all the NZ schools off the Ministry of Education website, plus sports clubs that are registered with us. You simply pick the school or club 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 or club pot you have nominated.

If you get your school or club network to sign up and, say, for example, 250 people filled out a survey, your school or club 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.

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!

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 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.

On every email we send you there is an unsubscribe link.  You can do this at any time.

We have also given away

of prizes over the last 3 years.

To date we have donated over $80,000 to the charities that we support.  Our main charity stable consists of the following:

Hospice NZ

KidsCan

Outward Bound

Youthline

The Malaghan Institute of Medical Research

Also, we have about 200 NZ schools and 6 sports clubs signed up, although not all of these have started getting their cheques. It's really important to get a whole group of people to sign up from a school or club to earn a significant amount of money.
