For ages 18 & under.
Please do not promote how to qualify for a survey that you couldn't qualify for when being honest.
http://www.wrinsiders.com
Sign up on bottom
Starting a survey
From the moment you sign on, you'll be able to see available surveys. They are posted three at a time, and you may not continue to other surveys until all three are completed. Click on a survey to begin; some surveys may consist of multiple pages, so take your time and be sure to fill out every question on each page.
Earning points
When you have completed the survey, you'll see a "Thank You" page, and your survey point gauge (seen on the right of the screen in the sidebar) will add the current survey's worth to your total point.
Bronze, Silver & Gold
On the Spend Points page, you'll notice three things: the shopping cart list to your right, the "tier tabs" at the top, and the prize listing at the center. The three tiers represent levels of point earnings. You'll have to reach a certain point in your quota if you want to upgrade from Bronze to Silver and Gold.
Adding to your cart
As you browse the catalog, you'll find links next to each item. Click on them, and they'll be transferred to your Shopping Cart list to the left. If you make a mistake, you can highlight an item in your cart and click the button below to remove the item.
Note: If you don't have enough points to purchase an item, or already have the item in your cart, the buy link will be shown in red and you won't be able to click on it.
Confirming Purchases
If you're done adding items to your cart, click the button underneath your shopping cart to check out. You'll be taken to a confirmation screen which will inform you to have your parents check their incoming e-mail to confirm the checkout. After a parent confirms the checkout, points will be taken out of your total-- and your Insider prizes will be on the way!

There are a just a few simple rules at WRInsiders.com:
1. Don’t sign up more than once. If we find you with more than one email address, we will kick you off the panel and erase all your points.
2. Don’t print surveys or save them to your hard drive
3. Don’t give copies of or links to surveys to anyone. If you have a friend that you think would be interested in one of our surveys, invite them to become an INSIDER (and earn points doing it!).
4. Be honest. We really want to know what you think. If you need help understanding a question, it’s OK if you ask dad or mom or your brother or grandfather, but tell us what you think, not what they think.
5. Don’t show your survey answers to anyone except your parent or guardian. If you have friends that are interested, invite them to join. It’s easy.
6. PLEASE try to answer all the questions. Most questions will give you a chance to say you don’t know or don’t care. If you really, really can’t answer a question, leave it blank and go on to the next question
7. If you’re under 13, you need your parent’s permission to be an INSIDER. If we find kids under 13 who don’t have permission, we will kick you off the panel and erase all your points
8. Don’t hesitate to communicate with the staff of WRInsiders. You can email us anytime at support@wrinsiders.com
9. HAVE FUN!!!

How often do they add new surveys? And are there more to do than the 10 or so that are on the home page?

they don't put surveys up on a regular schedule,
but the average is one or two a week...with some weeks having none and some having 4 or more.
The surveys on your Wrinsider Home Page that are not crossed off are the only ones available to you right now, EXCEPT there are times that they send out survey links via email that aren't on the home page.

So odd. I have not received the parent one either and my Mom did the grandparents one and nothing there yet either. My son ordered 2 Amazon gift cards a couple weeks ago and they came this week so it seems like the Amazon cards for parents and grandparents would have come by now. Thanks to all who are contacting to find some answers! :heart:

You are correct. $10.00 amazon GCs are supposed to be sent via e-mail. Wrinsiders asked for the e-mail address when you finished the parent / grandparent survey about smoking. It asked for at the end of the survey. :)

my sister just GOT the parent invite on April 1,
so maybe they are waiting until the project is complete? :dontknow:
It does seem odd that it is taking so long,
although it is different than their normal way of doing things...
but still, they should be on top of this better than they are. :ermm:
addendum...ok, it has been about 4 weeks since the parent/grandparent smoking surveys started,
so they are still within the realms of their prize delivery estimates of 2-6 weeks.

They do it all the time and its random. Sometimes everyday, sometimes only once a week it just depends. Most of the new ones are from outside sources so I guess its just when companies come to them and need a survey completed

:eek: whoa...
I am sorry to hear that!
I would suggest emailing them, give them all the information...
your account, date of order, what you ordered, date received and what was lacking.
Politely tell them how disappointed you are and ask them to make this right!
...include that you are awaiting their reply.
contact support,
http://www.wrinsiders.com/Teens/?RP=Contact
AND / OR
Don’t hesitate to communicate with the staff of WRInsiders. You can email us anytime at support@wrinsiders.com
they may want you to return the one you received :dontknow:
Out of curiosity, was it an factory packaged ipod - factory sealed? if not include that in your email to them too!

Thank you
from the FAQs:
Question:
How long do items take to mail?
Answer:
Normally, a package will take from 2 to 6 weeks to arrive. The exact time depends on anything from your location to weather conditions, so please be patient! If you think it's taken way too long for a package to arrive, go to our Contact page and ask us to verify that your package is on its way. Make sure you select the "Shipping" button so your question gets answered as quickly as possible.
that being said...amazon GC normally take 1-2 weeks, but by their terms of service, can take up to 6.

even when I don't log into my account and I just visit the main page as a guest, it shows March 7, 2008. Can anybody tell me what current surveys they're seeing at wrinsiders and the date?
Thanks

Hi I'm new to Wrinsiders, just signed my 12 year old up. If my other kids want to join, can they use my e-mail address?
My 12 year old and 8 year old both have their own accounts. I just signed them each up for their own yahoo email accounts and then use my email address as the parent email address. They've been doing WRinsiders for 2 years now and no problems having 2 children from the same household doing it.

Please do not promote how to qualify for a survey that you couldn't qualify for when being honest.
http://www.wrinsiders.com
Sign up on bottom
Starting a survey
From the moment you sign on, you'll be able to see available surveys. They are posted three at a time, and you may not continue to other surveys until all three are completed. Click on a survey to begin; some surveys may consist of multiple pages, so take your time and be sure to fill out every question on each page.
Earning points
When you have completed the survey, you'll see a "Thank You" page, and your survey point gauge (seen on the right of the screen in the sidebar) will add the current survey's worth to your total point.
Bronze, Silver & Gold
On the Spend Points page, you'll notice three things: the shopping cart list to your right, the "tier tabs" at the top, and the prize listing at the center. The three tiers represent levels of point earnings. You'll have to reach a certain point in your quota if you want to upgrade from Bronze to Silver and Gold.
Adding to your cart
As you browse the catalog, you'll find links next to each item. Click on them, and they'll be transferred to your Shopping Cart list to the left. If you make a mistake, you can highlight an item in your cart and click the button below to remove the item.
Note: If you don't have enough points to purchase an item, or already have the item in your cart, the buy link will be shown in red and you won't be able to click on it.
Confirming Purchases
If you're done adding items to your cart, click the button underneath your shopping cart to check out. You'll be taken to a confirmation screen which will inform you to have your parents check their incoming e-mail to confirm the checkout. After a parent confirms the checkout, points will be taken out of your total-- and your Insider prizes will be on the way!

This is exactly why I like to cash out ASAP with the survey sites, rather than let a balance build up. I never dreamed this would be one of the sites to go belly up.

How have you been contacting them? ....
through the link http://wrinsiders.com/Teens/?RP=Contact choosing shipping Qs
or
directly emailing support@wrinsiders.com?
whichever you have tired, I would suggest trying the other.
Be polite, give them all the info - your name, account, order number, when & what ordered, -
and ask when you can expect it - as it has been X weeks and it has not arrived.
9 weeks is a long time, perhaps something happened to it in the mail.
good luck !

...if you have been polite and thorough in your questions to support, I'm not sure why they aren't getting back to you.
Be sure that their replies aren't going into your spam folder, put them in your list to get through.
Double check you profile info to be sure your shipping info with them is correct.
otherwise, I don't know...your last email to contact them was just sent on Saturday tho, right?
...a bit early in the week to be crying no response, imho.
I understand you have tried to contact them before and I understand your unhappiness with the situation. If another week goes by, contact them again.
This scenario is not the norm, but it seems to happen from time to time and, to my knowledge, gets resolved.
take a deep breath and try to be MORE patient...I hope you hear from them soon.

What the hell? I doubt they sent it out 6 days after I ordered it... What do I do now?
The teens here usually get their amazon GCs in less than a week.
I DO believe that it could easily have been sent out when they say it was.
WRinsiders switched to mailing amazon GCs supposedly because many people were reporting they never got them via email.
Consider WRinsiders point of view here...their records say they sent it, you say it never showed up.
(people could try to fraudulently get more gcs that way.)
I wonder if WRinsiders keeps track of the actual amazon code sent...I believe amazon can input a code and see who used it, but I think WRinsiders would have to be the one to ask ...hmmm
NOW...
If one of the older teens here had this situation, this is how I would advise them:
Reply to the email you just received...calmly, politely!
Thank them for replying and respond that although they say the card was sent, you never received it. Then ask if there was tracking on the card so you can try to figure out what happened, ask if they can cancel the old GC and send out another...and ask just what can be done.
Be prepared for any outcome, as things can happen, things get lost in the mail, etc.

sorry to hear that!
The teens here are between 13 & 17, mostly boys and the boys get more surveys than the girls do.
The boys average $150 a year or so in amazon GCs each, and are guided to do surveys honestly to maintain a good relationship with WRinsiders, even if that means they disqualify for quite a few.
I worry a bit when I see issues come up and hear others being so unhappy with WRinsiders,
but other than what seems like the normal ebb & flow of survey availability,
this seems to be going pretty normally for us.
(it does require patience and persistence, tho')

This site has been good to my twin sisters since they started 2 years back, but this issue that came up lately, its really irritated one of them. She ordered a $50 gift card (never has had any trouble in the past) and she waited 6 weeks(never came), contacted them, and they said that it was never shipped out, so now she's waiting for it all over again. She insists that she always gets her stuff about a week after she requests it, and she still hasn't gotten the gift card that was supposed to be sent out after she contacted them.
I don't know, I mean, they do keep track of the numbers on the card to see if its been used up or not. She's asking me to file a complaint to the BBB but I told her to give it some more time. I mean I really feel for her, she did all that work for like months, just to have all this happen to her.

I tried to do most of the surveys and it would always disqualify me, is it because I only have playstation 1?
My mom is unemployed, my dad works in a construction field, and my older brother work in a clothing store... is this another reason why i always get the "i'm sorry you're not qualify for this survey" message?

........:shake: it is isn't just you.
it is demographics, sometimes they need people just like you,
and sometimes they don't,
that is the nature of surveys.
As frustrating as it is to seem to always get disqualified, it is an almost necessary part of being on any survey panel. Some places do the prescreening and sending the surveys to the correct demographics better than Wrinsiders...but some places aren't as reliable, too.
Every single survey can have different requirements.
Sometimes the most commonly needed factions fill up fast...
If a survey is set to accept so many of each race, the spots for caucasians will often fill first and you will not qualify after the number is met, if you are white, etc.
Best to check in when ever you think to, in order to get in early when new ones are posted,
Answer the questions honestly, try for every one they send or post, and you are bound to get in on plenty,
regardless of all your personal demographics.
patience & good luck to you!!!

Yeh it said shipped for that amount of time, I'd get the exact date but can't check the site.
I was just about to complain to them for being over 6 weeks...

What new changes? 2 kids haven't been able to login the past few days - can't even get site to come up. thought it was just us but glad it's not. Get HTTP 400 Bad Request and waiting on a amazon redeemed about 2 weeks ago. Hoping it's just a temporary thing..... What is this about changes to site - did we miss something?
Update - just got site to come up and I see about the changes. Of course, dd and ds can't log in - says invalid user id and password. Tried contacting them under their "help" section but went to page unknown. They definitely have some kinks to work out.

For those who are having trouble logging in their accounts. Do the following:
when logging in make sure your username is in CAPS as well as your password. If your password contains numbers make sure they stay numbers but all letters must be in CAPS
It was the only way I was able to log into my son's account since yesterday.
Had to keep digging around till I found the old catalog and cashed out his account for him all in Amazon and American Express GC'S $560.00

After you log in you should see 3 tabs: Quizes, Games, Surveys, Click where it says surveys then click again where it says take surveys and earn more. That takes you back to the home page where the surveys are displayed and in the upper left hand corner is the old catalog for redeeming your points. HTHs

Tons of bugs on this new site! They are trying to do to much and make it like a virtual world/badge/social site like a teen myspace or something.
My kid just did a 35 minute survey and the points dont update on the main site- still shows old points. Its not until you go into surveys- points that you see your true point amount. Extremely buggy and i cant imagine little kids trying to navigate this site without problems. Way to much going on- they should have left it simple.
I am actually waiting a little while to i let my kids cash out. There is to many bugs going on right now- two different point amounts- two different cataloges, one saying a $10 GC for amazon sold out- the other saying $10 GC Amazon is not sold out, ect, ect.
Going to wait till they clear up some things and the bugs before cashing out- want no headaches

Also as a heads up--
If you cashed our for gift cards on the 'new' site, all the gift cards there are E-Gift cards. The only way to redeem them is via the website you got the card for.
Old site--the gift cards are actually mailed to you, so you can use them at the B&M store.

for us, it depends which company,
but as amazon has consistently been the best value for the points,
it doesn't really matter whether it is eCard or physical card - just as long as the kids get their codes.

One interesting new development seems to be that all the gift cards are equal in cost
10 pts is the equivalent of 1cent of GC value
100 pts = 10cents of GC value
1000 pts = $1 of GC value
There are some interesting new GCs
Points can be used to buy sweeps entries.
AND there are Weekly Reader mag quizzes that can be taken for up to 200 additional points per day
Can educational games be played for more points that can be redeemed for rewards/prizes/GCs/etc?
It seem so...will have to wait for a teen to be here to check out that stuff.

My dd just played a game and you do earn points. Said she could get up to 100 and she ended up with 22 points. She was upset that they took away what she was saving for(Polly Pocket toy), but she was happy they now give you points for the games. She literally just said something last week that she wished she got points for the games. You can still do the surveys and earn bigger points, but now there are lots of other ways to earn smaller points.

I haven't had the chance to wander around the site much more -
I do see there is an area where a virtual room can be designed and there is a contest to win points.
Things for these "rooms" can be purchased with points.
I haven't figured out the badges, yet.
I'm hoping to sit down with one or 2 of the teens in the next few days in order to get a better understanding of the changes.

The amazon Gift Cards are under Rewards (in line near top),
then along the left - Gift Certificates - Books & Media

When You are on the Home page -
second line of options are Ways to Earn Points and "Take Surveys" is farthest right in that line.
