Get Paid To Take Surveys Online
I bought something online for my friend who lives outside the U.S. and I’ll ship it to her. I mean, she chose is, is paying for it, and I’m just doing her a favor. Anyway, when I finished paying with my credit card, I got a survey, and after filling it out, I got a one year subscription for a magazine for free. Of course, I can’t put the subscription under her name coz it’s valid in the U.S.
My question is, etiquette wise, do I have to tell her?
I will tell her and I’m sure she has no problem with that, but it just got me wondering, do I owe an explanation and have to take permission or not?

i would ask her if she liked the magazines and if she said yes i would mail them to her when i was finished reading them its ok.
I don’t think it matters one way or another. You got a survey because of your credit card so technically it’s your free subscription. It would be different if they gave you a survey for the item you bought her or if you used her credit card to pay for it.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even bring it up.
If it’s under your credit card, it’s your subscription. No need to tell her about it at all. You took the time to do the survey, that’s your reward.
Etiquette says "yes". You should at least tell her. Since the subscription cannot be mailed outside the US I am sure she will have no problem with you receiving it. Plus she may see it as a "payback" for you ordering the item for her and paying for it with your credit card. A favor for a favor.
Not telling her is in a sense not telling the truth.
Etiquette has slipped a little through the years but the truth is always the truth. A little white lie is still a lie.
I would mention it. Just say "When I payed for your item they offered me a free subscription to Cosmo and I accepted" Let’s face it, it’s not like you are holding anything back from her that she could get or expected. I doubt she’ll have any problem with it, especially since she couldn’t accept it herself.
I think that you should tell her just to be safe. I for one would think of it as a treat for doing the "work". But like I said I would still say something to her about it just to make sure.
