Once you’ve decided, all you have to do is click on “Redeem” after logging in with your TPS account .

The vouchers/amount, as applicable, would be sent to you within 6-8 weeks from your redeemed date.In case you have opted for sweepstakes, then you would receive the details within 24 hours.

We reserve the right to offer a substitute reward of equivalent value to the payment method you have chosen. This may occur if, for some unforeseen reason, we are unable to obtain your first choice of reward, e.g. the company issuing vouchers to us ceases to offer vouchers. We reserve the right to change the value of rewards paid for research, although it is not our intention to do this.
