I got an odd e-mail today, based on a ticket I have book to San Diego around Christmas time. Curious if anyone has received anything like this before:
"Our records show you are soon taking a trip to San Diego. Southwest Airlines is doing a research study, and we are looking for people who plan to purchase tickets or a package to SeaWorld or Busch Gardens for a visit before the end of the year. We will be doing a few short interviews in your destination city, San Diego, and would like to invite you to participate in one of the following:
Tag-Alongs – For these, we would arrange to meet you and your family (or group of friends) at the park entrance. We’d then walk around the park with you for an hour or two – asking you a few questions along the way. For helping us out, we’ll give you and up to two other adults in your party $75 cash each.
Dinner Interviews – For these, we’ll meet you at your hotel or a nearby restaurant after your day at the park. We’ll chat about your experience and find out a little bit about what brought you there. As a thank-you, we’ll pick up the food tab.
We mostly want to understand what made you decide to visit the park and what you most enjoy. We may also ask what you and your friends do together for fun, and of course, about travel and SeaWorld or Busch Gardens.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing, please email us southwestairlines@ideaplanetinc.com as soon as you can. Spots are limited. We’d love to tell you a little more about this and take you through a couple questions to see if it will work out.
Again, thank you for your time. These have been really fun, casual conversations and we’d just love to have you participate. We look forward to hearing back from you.
