Yes please Lizzie put me down.

that's 2 gone now....thanks crusty, will do so later on, thanks, when I get home!

I got that too, so if anyone interested I could same

Great, Ros, that means we have ten places to offer, between us!

i also have it seems like its getting easier to get in

Great, we are up to fifteen now, Janet! I am not sure about easier, but they obviously need new recruits after a period of time, maybe some of the older recruits have been dropping out!

That's Tez and Crusty referred now!

Yes please LizzieAnne I'd be grateful.

I'm interested in joining too

I joined earlier, it seemed easy to join too

OK, Mary and Natasha....just one left in my referral selection.....thanks both of you. Mary, I have your email address, but not Natasha's one - can you email Katie and ask her to pass it on to me please?

PMF, perhaps they are currently on a recruitment drive. The new year has been quiet and things are only now starting to liven up!!

Lizzie i have had to contact opinion people as the registration form does not suit my address. I do not have a house number i have a name and there is no allowance for this. My address does not include a city. My county is North Yorkhire and their selection only includes Yorkshire. I have tried to work round these problems but every time I click on submit it wipes out Yorkshire in the application and ask me to then enter it,after 10 attempts i have sent them an e-mail.

Make that 20!

sorry you are experiencing problems, crusty, forms can be a real pain when there is a required field and that field does not exist in your address or name. Email addresses can be difficult too as I know there used to be trouble with gmail ones, Tez and Baggy have both had similar troubles, I think.

I wouldn't for the world want you to have any problems, and I will write an email also on your behalf as your referee.....I will give them the yellow card! It is only fair that we stand up for each other and show some solidarity!

Mary, referral on the way to you.

Just registered LizzieAnne thank you so much.

Thank you very much lizzie, i have registered to become a member, got all excited when i saw you're email

Aw, shucks, didn't know I had the power to excite such a youthful lad as yourself, Tez.....makes me feel all young and spring-like again!! LOL

So glad you both managed to register successfully....complaining email on it's way to them, crusty! (By the way did you get a reply to yours yet, they are a bit slow on the customer services front!)

Glad to see you got in OK too Mary!

Just found this email in reply to mine dated 17th October 2011 when I asked if I could please, pretty please refer my friend Terence Raymond Lewis (remember you asked me Tez?) -

opinion people

Dear LizzieAnn

thank you for your email.

Participation in opinion people is only possible upon invitation. For
methodological research reasons, we can not allow self-registration of members. It is therefore crucial that email lists, newsletters and
online advertising at reputable Web sites provide specific criteria,
enabling us to select members we just need. Please understand that we
cannot accept each application of interested persons.

Kind regards,
Sandra Roberts &
The opinion people team


Now would you say that sounds like an easy panel to get into? I don't really think so, and I really think this current referral scheme is simply a one-off recruiting drive, you know, a la "we want you!" and a big pointing finger! Get in while you can, only you, Natasha, and one place left!

Then Ros and Janet have five friend referrals available, if they are so kind as to be able to accept nominations as I have done? What do you say, Ros & Janet?

I have now sent an email to their customer services too crusty to explain the trouble you have had and to ask why there is a problem with a friend referral of mine! How dare they??? Let us hope the two pronged attack will engender some results and you get in fine. Let me know if you get a reply OK?

Thanks Lizzie. I sent an email to Katie earlier asking her to pass on my email address to you

Dunno if I'm too late but I would :-)

Super, buzzy, you are my number 5 - can you email Katie and ask her to pass on your email address to me please and I will refer you.

That's my five, with Natasha and bumblebeez, but Ros and Janet might do you five each more, if you ask nicely!

Have had an e-mail today stating if i send my details in a seperate email they will do the paperwork for me.

Excellent result, Crusty, good news! I have not had a reply yet but will let you know if and when I do.

Got your email Natasha, and sent you a reply and a referral, and Bumblebeez I am still waiting for yours.

Dear LizzieAnn,

thank you for your email and for recomending us.

I'm already in contact with your friend Crusty.

As you might have gathered, I am quite near redemption, only 5 points to go!! Hope you get on OK Crusty!

Since I sent that e-mail I haven't heard anymore. I did get an electonic reply to say the e-mail had been recieved( within a minute of sending it) but nothing else!!!!

Sad, but I hope it means they are busy sorting things out! No news is usually good news, crusty!

Does anyone think it sounds dubious when they do not accept peoples referrals having sent out emails requesting panel members to reccomend people and reading the comment below you are restricted about saving your points by their rules and could lose them too.
