AMG Survey

Hey all. So besides this forum, I'm also on the AMG Private Lounge forum. Today I was contacted by GfK Automotive Research to perform a paid survey on behalf of AMG. Have any of you been contacted as well? I know many of you are much more involved with MB and AMG than I am, so I'm wondering if this is legit or not.


Any info you have would be great.

I got the e-mail as well. Not a big fan of survey's, especially run by 3rd parties. They always seem fishy to me. So I just deleted it. A lifetime of junk mail and spam and future bothering is not worth a small chance at 50 bucks. At least to me.

They have a legit looking website. I wonder if anyone on here has actually taken the survey. I have a Google Voice number, so I can give a number other than my home.

I just recieved the survey at work. I find this odd, as I never registered my work email with AMG. I used my personal email. Though, I have corresponded with Mr. Dinger who's in charge of all the AMG Performance Center world wide. I'm leaning more towards this being legit. Has anyone tried to contact them? I'm not worried about getting any money, just like to know if this is legitimate or not?

I was thinking of you Yuille when I was typing this up. If you hadn't gotten the email too, I would have dumped it for sure.

I have spent the last 40 minutes on the phone with the survey people, this survey is legitimate. They are in fact gathering information on behalf of Mercedes-AMG. my Survey taker was Richard, he was very knowledgeable about Mercedes, and he even learned something today, as I was educating him

I called too and was told they'd call me back as they were finishing up another survey. Now I know it's you Yuille! Hang up so I can get my 50 bucks!

C63
I attended an AMG focus group a few months back.
The discussion was mostly based on if we would be interested in AMG providing an AWD option. At the end of it all we were each given a $300 check for attending.

I just got off the phone with them. Asking a lot of questions and how likely I am to buy a 2012 CLS or E 63. Easier cash then when I was an exotic dancer for blind women!

Shooter, I answered two surveys, for the E63 and C63. I'm glad that you got your money. I had an extensive survey going
