No, they were gold surveys (for me anyway). Some of the surveys ask you if you'll try a product. I've been taking surveys for months and the paper towel one I got was the first (I think they sent it to me last month). I used to do surveys for pinecone a long long time ago and they would sometimes send products- I think they've been using swagbucks some and have seen them on there before. I can't remember if that's who it was through or not. I took a survey on how I used paper towels (like if I used them a lot or used rags, etc)- I guess I was their target group because I use a ton of paper towels and buy from a group of select brands so they sent me a roll and then had me try it and I did a follow up survey for 300 SB to let them know what I thought about it.
