We're aiming to provide regular updates on how we have used your responses and these can be found in the News section. We won't always be able to provide updates on everything but all results are shared with the appropriate business department.

You will be given regular opportunities to take part in surveys which are relevant to you. If you haven't had an email for a while please make sure they haven't been filtered into your junk mail or spam folders.

You'll be emailed when there is an activity for you to take part in along with the activity details. Simply click on the URL included in the email and complete the activity online, or you will be redirected to the site where you can complete other tasks such as forums. You can also login to Verve Voices and check if there are any new research activities.

How often will I need to participate in activities. We'd love you to participate in as many as you can. There's no minimum or maximum but we may review the membership of Verve Voices members that don't participate.

Please email our helpdesk if you have any questions. We make every attempt to respond quickly to member enquiries and are committed to maintaining a high level of service. On average, we try to respond to messages within 48 hours if an enquiry is submitted during normal office hours and on the next available working day if the enquiry is submitted on the weekend or a bank holiday.

If you are having trouble completing an activity please email our helpdesk.

We will use the research and information you give us to support Verve in developing their products and services to better meet your needs. We may publish survey results in the press or use them in our internal marketing materials. All results will be published at an aggregate level and will be kept anonymous. For further details see our Privacy Policy.

If you haven't had an email for a while please make sure they haven't been filtered into your junk mail or spam folders.

We try to ensure we only send you surveys that are relevant to you and are based on the needs of the business, so it may just be that recent surveys weren't right for you.

Points are the Verve Voices reward system and are earned both through taking part in our surveys and other activities, as well as won through prize draws. Your points count can be viewed on the Verve Voices homepage.

Points can be redeemed by entering the amount you wish to redeem in the ‘Redeem your points’ box on the Verve Voices homepage, once you have at least 1,000 points. If you have over 1,000 points, they must be redeemed in blocks of 500 (e.g. 1,500, 2,000, etc).

1 Verve Voices point = 1p

Therefore, if you have for example 1,000 points, this is convertible into £10. This can be converted into either an Amazon voucher or PayPal payment.
