Something for Nothing

There's nothing like a sweepstakes to get noticed ...

I see a couple of survey sites are offering drawings for free cars in order to increase their membership. Those are quality prizes, so if you don't mind participating and understand the odds, here are the details:

Eversave is offering your choice of a Chrysler Crossfire or $50,000 in cash. All they want you to do is register to join their e-mail list and view the various promotions they have on offer. From what I've seen, they concentrate on quality products. In the current North American economy, 'clipping' cyber-coupons has been gaining in popularity. There is no cost to join and they let you opt-out whenever you desire. So, as far as this genre of offers is concerned, I would consider it to be a decent deal.

Survey Networks has gone the 'international' route for its American clientele by putting up a BMW 530i as the attraction. As their name implies, they're looking to swell their ranks of opinionmeisters who are willing to dedicate a portion of their cyber-time to completing questionnaires regarding businesses and their services. Survey Networks is a subsidiary of Experian, the same company who monitors your creditworthiness for the banks and card companies, so if you'll pardon the pun, they're a very credible outfit.

Both of these companies are adamant that they won't market your e-mail address. Both also state that they've got other incentives for you besides the grand prizes listed here. If you're interested, I'll leave those exploration chores to you.
