It also states $75 pay instead of the $50 we originally thought it was. At least I have to assume it was from this survey, cause it's the only one I've ever done for Vogue.

I got this also, groups 3 or 6

Are you guys thinking this will be like an Invoke, no doubt?

no email for me:(

i got the same email today about the $75 dollar one

Are you guys thinking this will be like an Invoke, no doubt?

Same type of format would be nice but I hope theirs works with FF, Invokes can be so annoying because everything takes forever to load in IE.

Got the follow up email too..for groups 3 & 6 Hope im chosen!! :D

Nothing for me. :(

got it :)

lol so did i :)

I don't know if I'm supposed to ask or not but did anyone but me think the job question was odd? I had no choice to answer that I was either a homemaker, a stay at home mom or even unemployed.....

Not huge...( don't remember that question actually)...but your instincts are right..nope we cannot normally ask about specifics on any surveys. I rarely even post if I am on a panel or not...they are VERY strict most of the time... I may post when it's over about payment... that's almost all ...Good luck dear

So has anyone gotten a reply from the availability email?

It said this at the end: If you are selected to participate, you will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of your reply.

I got the email around 3pm yesterday and responded within 20 mins but haven't gotten any emails today :(

I've never done this with Vogue but have done others from other companies. For me it is like walking into a huge room of people, I get a little nervous at first but once I start meeting people and talking I dont want to leave! You will do fine I am sure. They reallize some people are a little apprehensive.

I received an email this afternoon but did not have time to reply until tonight. The screener was a little bit short and end suddenly. I don't even know if I would have a chance or not. For those who are in, are you having that when you completed your screening survey?

Just finished my $75 session, it was fun and easy.

I agree.

Thanks OP...this was so cool !

I had also got the email invite to do the focus
group for today but no call or email from them

focus group for today?

Me too, I was getting all excited about it & didnt
get nothing from them. I wonder if they are putting
us in the next group 2?:confused:

Same here, nothing. I'm supposed to be scheduled for today's discussion but no email or call till now, really disappointed when I see so many people have done theirs.

I was also signed up for today at 12:00 p.m.,but no call,no email,no nothing,I'm very upset about this,they can at least say you didn't get-In ,but to say or do nothing Is not right,I had to go somewhere,but I waited On these people to tell me what's what,oh well-that's the way It goes,i hope we do get In on the next one ,but dont think so.

Got the Journal, since there was a huge delay and I thought I would receive this weeks and weeks ago, I decided to give it to my older sister as a birthday present today.

It looks nice. Would've have been even better if they allowed one line engravings of messages on the cover.
