For each study, you will receive an invitation by email to participate. The community research will be conducted on the Web. All you need to do is click on the link, or copy and paste the Website address into your browser window. Then, simply follow the instructions on the screen to complete the survey. The survey link will also appear on the community website under the "My Surveys" page.
Not necessarily. We will do our best to identify studies that look like a match based on your profile, but SoCalGas may include criteria which is not part of our membership information. In these cases, the only way to know if you qualify will be to ask you up front in the survey. In cases when your household does not fit the criteria, we will try and notify you quickly and release you from completing any more of that survey. In the event you do not qualify, you will still earn an entry into our monthly sweepstakes.
On average, you will be sent a survey invitation once or twice per month. There will also be new QuickPolls posted to the site every two weeks, as well as occasional new discussion forums for you to participate in.
You are welcome to take part in as many surveys and discussion forums as you like.
On average, our surveys are approximately 5-10 minutes; however, some can be as short as 5 minutes and others can be 15 minutes. All surveys and activities are completely voluntary and we let you know the approximate length of the survey in the invitation so you can plan accordingly. As well, surveys can be stopped and restarted later from where you left off if you are in a hurry.

As a member of the SoCalGas Insiders community, you may receive different types of compensation depending on the type of research you participate in.
