I called in and gave the info they asked for and there sending me a $100 GC to amazon.com... HAPPY,HAPPY-JOY,JOY

I know they kept changing the amount of the survey, $10, $20, $50, & $100... I got lucky and done the $100 survey.

I hope all of you that done this survey gets lucky and receives there GC.

Corky~
I got the mail too and was worried about why they really needed my Social Security number. Did they still ask you for it? Did they say anything about why they needed it besides the IRS? I am freaking...I want the GC but am afraid about who I am giving this info to. Please settle my fears here...LOL

The SS# I think is ok to give because the 888# is the WingspanBank number.
There asking for your SS# for taxes, because its a bank they must do that. If it was by email or the internet i would have not given out my SS#, but sense it was by phone and direct to there bank i gave it.

TO ME, it was safe to give it out!

Crazycorky, did they tell you it was for $100? That's cool! They wouldn't tell me what mine was for(amount)!

[crazycorky]

lolyla,

Yes, and no!!

When i called i stated i did a survey were i was to receive a $100 gc, then she says yes and asked for me info a said my GC should be here in 7-10 days.
So when i said i did a the survey for a $100 GC and that was what i was to receive, she said yes meaning the way she said it, it was a $100. gc.
So the better send me the $100. because that what was to receive!

fter doing countless wonderful deals over the past year--most --if not all, being deals found here; I always felt a sort of guilt for being the "taker", not "giver" of clues on where deals were to be had. I can finally rejoice that I posted a great deal w/results--It's nice seeing smiling faces after a long day--and knowing you had something to do with it! Thanks everyone for all your terrific work! I look forward to coming here for relaxation after a busy day!

[weepy]

I hope you got the same e-mail I did today-boy was I surprised!!!

Thank you for contacting Wingspan Customer Care to claim your award for
participating in the Academic Research Survey.

We promised you a $100 gift certificate to CDNOW.com. As a substitute,
Wingspan would like to provide you a $110 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
PLEASE REPLY BACK TO THIS EMAIL IF THIS SUBSTITUTION IS SATISFACTORY TO YOU.

If acknowledgement is not received from you by Monday, July 31, 2000 at 5:00
p.m. EST, it will be assumed that your preference is to stay with CDNOW.com.

Thank you for your prompt reply and your support of Wingspan!

I e-mailed him back right away and he e-mailed me back twice-once to let me know he received my e-mail (of course I took the $110 Amazon) and once when I e-mailed him back to ask him how we would be receiving the gift certificate. It will be mailed snail mail tomorrow morning. BEST FREEBIE I EVER GOT! (if i get it-but it looks like I will)

The only email that I recieved was one telling me to call Wingspan bank. When I called, they asked for my social security #, name and address and said that my "award" would be sent out by the begining of August. When I first did the survey, I signed up for a $100 cash, but the when I called, they didn't tell me what I would recieve. They didn't even ask me my email address

[WordOne]

Whew! I just made it for this one! I got my e-mail a while ago, then just saved it as new and figured I'd check into it later (didn't like the SSN requirement either, and wanted to think about it ) When I looked at that e-mail this AM, I found that MY deadline was TODAY at 3PM EST (and I'm on the West Coast.) Made it in time by only about three hours!

I don't know what I got -- I asked and the woman didn't have that info. If I remember correctly, it was down to $50 when I did the survey -- but HEY! That's a free $50, so no complaints here

[monapoe]

Ok, now I'm worried I may have deleted that email. Anybody remember what the subject line read or who the sender was?

[crazycorky]

I called them Thursday. I asked why they needed the ss# and the lady gave the phone to her boss and he asked what the problem was. Anyway.... after all the confusion I forgot to ask what the GC was for and how much.
