Hi Fanny,

I now don't believe that completing the survey had anything to do with receiving the free credits and it was a totally random selection criteria that FMP used.

What occurred to me yesterday when I completed the survey again it states that the survey is anonymous so how could they know who completed it and who didn't. It also seems to redirect you to a third party site which you don't log in to and you have to be logged out of FMP.

And what do the people who have paid subs get if they complete this survey etc I wonder, as credits are no good to them are they?

Hi Everyone,

Well I'm happy that some other members were rewarded with free credits and not just me.

I have just used my free credits and when I logged out the pop up for the survey was there so I completed it again. So it will be interesting to see if any more credits come my way. If they do I will let you all know.

Frances,

You could be right on the survey front as I did complete it when I logged out.

It was sneaky of FMP not to advertise the fact that if you did the survey you received credits as I'm sure everyone would have completed it.

I think credits may be given if you completed a survey when you logged out. My husband did this and received credits. As I did not log out and did not do survey I have none.This is just a guess.

Hi Everyone,

I have just logged into FMP and have noticed that they have given me 25 credits to be used by the 9th of July.

I had never used FMP until their World cup offer which I used 3 times during this period so I encourage anyone else that may have only signed up for the world cup offer to sign in and check if they also have received credits.

I have never received any notification from FMP telling me about the credits and if it wasn't for my battle with Genes about missing census information I wouldn't have logged into FMP in the first place.
