, we thought pretty much all our members would qualify for the free bag, which is the only reason that we agreed to it.
We care deeply for this community and are extremely careful with this kind of thing.
My guess is that this is probably a glitch with the way they did the survey.
When I click the link I'm simply taken to this page:
It looks like Purina, or the company they are working with, simply didn't code the survey properly.
Again, we're looking into it and will keep y'all posted.
UPDATE 2:
We found out that they had a limit on the number of people that could take the survey. They didn't expect the response to be so huge (so, great job everyone!) and so anybody who clicked on the link AFTER the limit would get the notice like the one pictured above.
I also learned that here were also some questions that would disqualify someone from receiving the coupon, like if you were under 18, didn't have chickens, had over 200 chickens, already buy feed in bulk, etc.
I'm very upset that these requirements weren't posted in the email and also in the first page of the survey!
Update 3:
From Purina:
Quote:
"We are sorry for the confusion; deception or an unclear survey was never our intention. The email does state that to receive the coupon you have to qualify for the study and complete the questionnaire.
If survey takers do not pass the screening criteria and finish the whole survey, we do not include your information in the survey results. Only data from survey respondents who completed the entire survey are included in our analysis.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We apologize for the confusion, and if you would provide your complaint and your mailing address to Purina Customer Service ([email protected] OR 800-227-8941) we will review your case for a coupon for your time."
