wal mart free gift certificates online questionaire completed surveys on 2 occasions, purchased 2 offers in sept. survey, spent time and money w/o the promised gift/s awarded. san angelo, Texas

Having been offered free Wal Mart card of $1000 for taking a survey, I went through the various questionnaire and offers spending hours going back and forth in attempt to complete as instructed to receive the gift for participation. Purchased 2 of the offered items i.e. memberships to BOMC2 club and  Zbiddy of which I have sense used both. I did not get any information or recourse to receive the promised gift of the shopping card, received untold numbers of phone calls from sellers of various products on the survey and even tried again on Oct. 14 but after taking numerous surveys and questions was blocked into either buying more products or being subjected to more solicitations or dumping the site after spending an hour answering health and shopping questions. Am I ignorant to some short cut, missed the bottom line or being duped into participating in a fictitious endeavor to be gifted awards that don't exist?
