Question About Surveys

[bostonphil]

Some surveys differentiate between shopping (but not buying) and buying. Other surveys ask about where have you shopped but does not explain if that means shopping without buying or buying. When a survey asks you about places where you have shopped, do you assume that it means where have you purchased or do you assume that it might mean shopping without purchase?

I guess I never really thought about it. I rarely go to the store unless it is with the intent to purchase something. I don't buy much other than groceries and other necessities, so when I am asked, yes, I usually have bought something.

It usually specifies if they mean shop(which includes just browsing) or just purchases. I usually include stores I've shopped out even if I haven't purchased anything

If the survey doesn't specify,I assume they are asking about any store I've visited whether I made a purchase or not.If they do specify,I only include the stores where I purchased.

I pick the one that I have the broadest definition for with any questions, that way I get included more often.

I have done surveys where they specify purchase or just a visit.  There are times when I go shopping for things other than groceries that I will go in and look but not buy.  If it does not specify then I assume it is visit or purchase.

good answer, oldbuddy.. unless it specifically says purchase, I use the general definition of shopping

[betlynjua]

Actually, I think about that very thing whenever I am taking a shopping survey.  When those type of questions come up, I read and re-read to be sure what the question is really asking. 

If I don't see anything in writing stating that shopping only includes the times where an expenditure was made, then I include browsing along with spending.

When you do the Radio Loyalty does it stop paying after you're on for a length of time, or can you stay on for as long as you want.

As long as you keep solving the captcha's as they show up, you can stay on and keep earning.
