Tried to do the survey, seems only if you have a zip code can you take this.

International Curlies need not apply.

I don't like that they ask for my email address.

I don't mind providing zip code because that seems relevant, but I don't want this company contacting me, and their privacy doesn't make clear if they will be or not.

Yeah I was thinking that too. I put it in there anyway, but hopefully I don't start getting spam from them.

I thought the same thing about the email address, but I did put it in there anyway.... but I'm hoping I won't hear from them!

Although, of course, I'm glad to help YOU, Gretchen!

Thanks so much, gals.

I did talk to the folks at IPRO.

They said the email is just for internal purposes only, to make sure you're a real person (maybe they ping it or something?) and will not be used or sold or anything like that.

And they're working on the zip code thing. They'll probably just remove it cuz it was a "check to see if you're real" thing too. Whatever that means. I told her our international friends are very important to us, and must be included! So they're working on that.

Canadian Curlies, it just worked for me... I put in my postal code without a space and there were no problems, so give it a go.

If you don't like the zip/email thing. Just put in a fake email and fake zip, it'll still accept it.

Yeah, they changed it so it's not necessary.

For question #6) Which of the following best describes your employment status? , I chose 'perfer not to say', simply because there aren't 'home maker' or 'stay at home mom' or 'self employed' options available (all of which describe me).....

Yeah I put part time employed because I'm a stay at home mom but I sell Pampered Chef. I was surprised they didn't have more choices for that one.

They seem quite open to suggestions/comments, so I mentioned this one to them, too.

I answered the questions. I thought it was funny that it asks what my marrital status is (just got married last weekend) and then it asks my total annual income for 2005. So it looks like the 2 of us only make what I was making single then

I used the junk email address I use when I register for sites I want to use but do not want to hear from.
