PRIZES AND REWARDS

 

The PressPass Research Panel offers different types of rewards for participation in panel surveys. These terms and conditions apply to all prizes that we offer.

PRIZES

Chances to win various prizes are offered to every person who completes a survey, that has been invited to take part in by invitation email, by the closing time specified in the invitation email.

An important element of each prize offer is that if you are drawn as a winner of any prize, your membership details must be correct and up to date at the time of the draw as shown in your log in area at www.presspass.co.nz.

We reserve the right to ask you to confirm your details at any such time that you are contacted as a prize winner and if your details are not correct and up to date, you will forfeit any rights you have to the prize.

We offer two different types of prize draws.

Type 1: 'Survey Prizes': For some surveys we will randomly select a specified number of survey respondents who will win a prize or prize voucher. These Survey Prizes are detailed at the beginning of any survey which is offering Survey Prizes.

Type 2: Periodically we may offer additional prizes that are available either exclusively to members of the presspass Research Panel or to presspass Research Panel members as well as members of other Reader Panels operated by Fairfax Media.

These prizes will be detailed by email to all members at the time they are offered.

General Terms and Conditions That Apply to Prize Draws

All draws will take place within one week of the close of the survey, month, or other stated prize period and the winner(s) will be notified using the email address in their membership records.

Winners have two working weeks to respond to the email to confirm that they wish to accept the prize and to provide their delivery details. If a winner does not respond within two weeks, their prize is automatically forfeited and a second prize winner will be drawn. The same rule applies for any second or subsequent winner drawn.

We will not enter any dialogue with anyone who has not responded within two weeks, no matter what the reason for any delay, including but not limited to if the persons email is not working, has changed or if they are not clearing their email for some reason etc.

The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

The prizes are as stated on this website or in survey invitation emails and cannot be exchanged for cash.

We are not liable for any costs, expenses or liability incurred by the prize winner with respect to the prize.

Completion of any survey for which a prize is offered is acceptance of these terms and conditions.

We reserve the right to alter the structure of prize rewards and will detail any changes at www.presspass.co.nz

SHOPPING VOUCHER REWARDS

As well as prize draws, we also offer credits towards shopping vouchers for participation in some of our surveys.

We do not offer Shopping Vouchers Credits for participation in our short "Hot Topic" surveys, but we do offer them for our longer surveys. When we email you surveys that will earn you a Shopping Voucher Credit this will be clearly stated in the survey invitation email.

The amount of Shopping Voucher Credit that you earn from any survey will also be stated in the survey invitation email and when you complete this survey within the stipulated timeframe, the amount of the credit will be added to your Shopping Voucher Credit total.

At any time your Shopping Voucher Credit Total can be viewed by logging into your membership area.

When your Shopping Voucher Credit Total reaches $10 or more you will be contacted by the presspass team with a choice of vouchers from which you can choose to redeem your $10.

Vouchers will only be issued in multiples of $10 so when we issue a $10 (or multiple of $10) Shopping Voucher to you we will reset your Voucher Reward Total by the amount of the voucher or vouchers issued to you. This may leave you with a remaining Shopping Voucher Credit total.

Vouchers will be mailed to you within 28 days of us receiving your request.

In the General Terms and Conditions of PressPass Research Panel membership, we reserve the right to cancel your membership at our discretion. If this occurs, the amount in your Shopping Voucher Credit Total may be voided or transferred to a registered charity at our discretion (see below).
