Last Nov I started process of registration for IM Canada, I never finished it as I just wanted to find out the cost in Cdn$, since then I have had several emails inquiring why I didn't finish process and asking me to reconsider, I assumed that at some point I would be given an incentive to sign up, well today I received an email offer of $100 towards race entry for filling out a survey, is there any chance the incentives will improve if I wait to sign up until a later date?

WTC's bots send out those reminders (for IM Coz whoever is in charge last year sent one out saying you didn't finish, here's $100 off, but the US ones didn't offer that).
I would not expect them to send out more emails with more money off. This email is the first I've seen where they do this, previously it's been a raffle or drawing for a free entry. It's not an incentive to those that had not finished the process, as I got it as well

i'd be surprised if they increased the incentive. guess i'll wait a little longer

Same date I received

It's a brilliant marketing campaign actually. They have a bunch of races they know aren't going to sell out so they are offering discounts. Now all of the people on the fence about registering are going to rush to sign up before March 13th in fear that the $100 discount causes their event to sell out. Then all the other people on the fence will use the $100 discount to sign up thinking they got a great deal.
Disclaimer: I'm thinking of signing up due to the discount so they got me too.

Too bad registering twice will cost you more than that in Active.com "convenience" charges :P
I'm pretty sure the survey/credit has nothing to do with you not completing the registration process. I received the same email today and I have not done or considered a WTC race (full or 70.3) since October 2014.I certainly haven't started and stopped the registration process for one either.
