How do I join the Panel?
An e-mail invitation to join the panel and complete a short initial survey will be sent to you. This survey will ask several questions about the sports and leisure activities you participate in and the sports and leisure products you own. We will then use this information to determine which surveys to invite you to participate. All information provided is private and will not be shared. See the Privacy Statement for details.

Canceling your Panel membership does not eliminate you from receiving all surveys from Leisure Trends Group. In some instances, Leisure Trends' clients send surveys to their own customers. If you have signed-up to receive email communication from one of our sponsors you will still receive surveys from these sponsors. To unsubscribe from a sponsor's survey you must visit their Web site.

How is my data used?
Information received from the Sports and Leisure Panel is for market research purposes only. Our clients use the information to create and improve products and services and to better understand consumers in their industry.

How does Leisure Trends Group protect my privacy?
Your identity and the responses you give are completely confidential. All information based on your responses to survey questions is reported in aggregate, not at an individual level. Sales promotions will not be directed to you based on your answers to these questions. Additionally, we never release individual information about our panel unless you expressly agree to such disclosure. See our Privacy Statement for more details.

Sports and Leisure Panel Members receive prizes?
Every time you complete a survey, we will automatically enter you into a drawing for a one-week stay at an Outrigger Hotel & Resort in Hawaii, which is awarded every six months. See Hawaiian Contest Rules for more detailed information.

In addition to the Hawaiian Vacation drawing, each survey provides different types of incentives. This could include cash or products; the invitation will include the exact incentive. Usually, longer surveys will include greater cash or more valuable product incentives for completion. See Prize Rules for more information.

If I win, when will I receive my prize?
Winners of cash and product prizes will be chosen at the close of the survey. Please allow four to six weeks for products to be delivered. Winners of the Hawaiian Vacation are chosen once every six months.

What are my odds of winning a prize in a survey drawing?
The chances of winning are based on how many entries we receive. Most of the surveys are conducted among a fairly small group of people, so your odds of winning are pretty high.

What topics will I get asked about?
Panel Members may be asked a variety of questions pertaining to sports and leisure activities.

How often will I be asked to participate in surveys?
You will receive invitations by e-mail whenever a new survey is available that meets your particular sports and leisure interests. The frequency of these invitations will vary. Since participation selection is random, you might do a survey once a month, more or less. Also, please remember that you do not have to participate in every survey, but we hope that you will!

What are the surveys like?
Most surveys consist of questions that are answered by simply checking boxes, pushing buttons, clicking on images, or occasionally typing in a few sentences of text.

What kind of computer do I need to participate in surveys?
Any computer with Web access (except WebTV) and a Web browser is more than adequate for most surveys. Occasionally, older versions of some Web browsers and MAC computers experience difficulty reading all JavaScript and you may experience an error message.

What do I do if I encounter technical problems while taking a survey?
If you encounter any technical problems please send an email to survey@leisuretrends.com Please indicate the name of the survey and a detailed description of the problem you experienced.
