People needed for research - please help
 

Hi - I an MBA student are currently doing some research on people joining reward programs.

Are you willing to volunteer in my research? The people I'm wanting to interview satisfy the following criteria:

• you have rewards but don't really know what do do with them (or you only use them for paying for hotels and flights)

• you have rewards from one or more programs collected, but your are not using them (or at least not often)

If you satisfy the criteria above, I would be very happy to hear from you. All I would need form you is 30 minutes of your time for a telephone interview via Skype or by chat.

Please e-mail me directly if you are willing to help: <email removed by Mod per policy - suggest you PM the OP if interested>

Thanks in advance and I will also share my research results with you.

The criteria you listed isn't indicative of a very well thought out research project.

Your response isn't indicative of very well-thought-out input. Do you mean OP's criteria for participants aren't specific enough? It's conceivable the invitation is designed to be on the loose, informal and imprecise side, which might sound academically unfocused, but I wouldn't be surprised if OP's description is set wide to get as "random" a sample of FT contributors as possible. Maybe. Then again, OP could definitely be more detailed. But suggesting so doesn't mean the project isn't thought out.

Thank you for your feedback. Let me tell you that the criteria above I mentioned is sufficient for the results I need to get. But it's absolutely right that I'm going for a random sample.

Please reply to my e-mail address if your interested in participating. Thanks.

personaresearch, your sample can not be random by definition if participation is voluntary. Also, your email address has been removed so hopefully you check your pm. Best of luck with your research.

For those of wishing to participate, may I suggest using a secondary email from an address not tied to important accounts bank, loyalty programs, etc.
