Skeptical
by Kenneth, May 14 '13

I'm skeptical by choice. After about 2 months of numerous searches and research, I finally decided on 4 online programs. I've been with all of them for about a week and as you can see by my 5 star rating, I'm very satisfied with BzzAgent. I qualified and should be receiving my product to test (name brand gel insoles). I was surprised at how quick I got into a campaign. My numerous inquiries before signing up were answered quickly and politely and still hasn't changed. So, for now, a 5 rating. This could change and I'll keep ya posted. My feet can't wait.

I Love being a Bzzagent
by Kelli, Mar 16 '13

I am appalled at the rude comments about bzzagent.com, No not every single person gets chosen for a campaign there are hundreds I see daily that I personally would love to do , but I do not fit the criteria the product manufacture wants. I Became a member in January 2011 I didn't get my 1st Campaign until Feb. that year, and I didn't get a second one until August of 2011 to date I have had 18 campaigns. And I've enjoyed every one of them, I've gotten Lip stick twice, Foundation & Powder, Cold medicine for adults and Children, Cereal, A New Nerf Football with glasses for the kids,($20 dollar value for FREE),Insoles for my shoes, to name just a few things. Yes they come with coupons to Share with your friends as your talking to them about the product NOT TO GO DOOR TO DOOR and give away, This is one of the best sites I've found and I'm glad I found it, I enjoy it very much!and its LEGIT AND FREE to use!

I have been a BzzAgent member for just a little over a month if that and I am already on my 3rd campaign. I love that we try out full size products and them honestly review them. I am doing products that I could really use. I don't understand why people really have anything negative to say about them.

What's the BIG DEAL???!!!
by Donna, Feb 15 '13

I've been with this site for numerous years. Kind of hangs out in the background. Once in awhile(maybe twice a year)I'll be invited to review a new product which can be nice but other than that...I've never gotten anything worthwile from them. Surveys? What surveys? Do you mean those small surveys pertaining to your profile once in awhile? I answered a bunch last week. 5 pts here and there. These are sent along to MYPOINTS (if you except them first. I won't explain that to you. You'll have to dig around the site for an explanation to that)....When the pts that you make through this site are transferred to MYPOINTS it takes 30 days for them to be activated at MYPOINTS. For 3600 pts at MYPOINTS which took months i got a gift card for $25 for B. & N........The whole process is alot of work and a big waste of time. Only redeeming value is the possible trials of products. I wouldn't count on this site if you want to get any rewards otherwise.

Fantastic Site!
by Nathan, Feb 02 '13

I haven't been a member for very long, but I can tell you this site is fantastic. They PAY you to try out products and write reviews, and talk to people about the products! Okay, that alone made me want to drop everything and join this site. They also have a fantastic customer support if you have any questions, which I did when I first signed up. They pay you in MyPoints points, and they tend to add up pretty quickly. I would do this site even if they didn't pay. It's fun to try out new products! Hands down this is the best site I've ever seen.

by april, Jan 28 '13

Seriously this is the best site ever. It's not a survey site although they do have you fill out super short surveys to find out things you may like. I've only been a member for 3 weeks and I've gotten invited to 3 campaigns! (I get TONS of junk mail from all the survey sites I've signed up with and I missed the first one they sent me) But I got to participate with Glade. They sent me 22 coupons, 2 of them made the items free! One was a diffuser and one was an air freshener. It's word of mouth advertising and they want you to spread the word. The other was a Schick Hydro Silk razor that I just got in the mail along with 8 coupons. The coupons are so good it practically makes the items free! Highly recommend!

Great site
by Jade, Jan 21 '13

This site is a word-of-mouth advertising site that sends out samples in return for your word-of-mouth advertising. So far, I have been a member for a month or two and have already had 3 campaigns (2 food, one razor). The trick to getting more samples is tweeting/using Facebook as much as possible on your first campaign or two, and answering all the preliminary surveys. Logging in a decent amount will also help. I find it fun, and I like free stuff, so I am happy. Plus, I am halfway to a small giftcard on mypoints with all of the points i have just from the surveys and participating on the campaigns. Highly recommend!

bzzagent is legit
by julie, Dec 22 '12

I love being a bzzagent. Only been doing it for about six months and have received at least a dozen different legitimate items to test. This one is the real deal. If you enjoy blogging you will enjoy this one. It rewards you for enjoyable comments and/or pictures of what you did with what you received from them. The more you write and participate the better your bzzscore will get and you can participate on more campaigns. Really a fun site.

by Sheri, Nov 09 '12

I have been a BzzAgent for a few months now (less than a year but not sure exactly how much less) and I love it! I have been invited to all kinds of campaigns, everything from Nerf Firevision to Miralax, lol. I have been in multiple campaigns at once (one time I was in 5) and have refused a few. Sometimes you get invited to campaigns where they ask you to test something at a very deep discount and I have even utlilized that. I love testing the products and giving my opinion and my friends love to get the samples and coupons. I am also a MyPoints subscriber and my points have been adding up VERY fast from being a BzzAgent. Don't get discouraged if you have a span of time where you don't get invited to campaigns. That ususally means that they are gearing up for a whole slew of new ones!

by Christy, Jul 09 '12

I've been a member of BzzAgent for a few months. They're not really a survey company. They will send you product samples and coupons to share with others - kind of like word of mouth advertising.

I don't seem to qualify for many campaigns but I have received a few product samples and coupons from them.

The website is kind of confusing to navigate.

WHERE'S THE BEEF?
by Carol, Apr 12 '12

I signed up for BZZAGENT because all of my friends were raving about the great products they were receiving. At first it looked promising because I had a few opening surveys to fill out. Then nothing! It's been almost 5 mos and not surveys, no test products. Apparently I am 4F with them. They should just tell you up front you are not their panel type material.

by Missy, Oct 12 '11

I've been a member for a year and have participated in 11 campaigns, 7 of which were reviews of actual full-size products. I have never had a problem with getting spam or calls from telemarketers. They send me the product that they think I would use according to the surveys I take on the site, I use it and review it and pass along samples and coupons to friends and family. I do the work that they ask of me because the benefits are worth it.

by Lisa, Jun 03 '11

Been a member for two months and have already been invited to two campaigns to try out products. This was more than I was expecting since I live in a rural area and am 19, I didn't expect to fit the demographics of a lot of companies. Products were sent out and arrived within a week of being shipped, and it's easy to submit reviews, talk to others, etc if you have time on your hands.

Why vote if you dont get it?
by Rhianna, May 01 '10

Its like critiquing a show in japanese, if you dont get it leave it alone, I mean I can understand something not being clear and taking a bit to make sense but dont go giving it 1 star, it took me a while to understand everything but now that I do I like it alot, they do NOT have you buy anything, they send you a product (aka joining a campaign) they send it for free to your house and you tell them how you liked it and did you talk about it to your friends and family, I spoke to only 2 friends and there was no issue. The mypoints isnt the real incentive, the free stuff is. I got the Loreal eyelash serum booster kit worth around 30bucks and soon Im getting stuff from covergirl (btw Im a girl and you can decide whether or not you want to join a campaign when invited if makeup isnt for you) the frogpond and bzzscapes is just ways to interact on the site and advance your status but its not necessary. (BTW THIS ISNT TECHNICALLY A SURVEY SITE, its a product testing site more so)

I have been with Bzzagent for about 5 years. It has changed over the years but for the better. I have received so many free products to try. The more you BZZZ and submit reports the more you earn. The reports do not have to be long but the more detail the more points you earn. All points are rewarded through the MY Points site where you can cash out for giftcards. I love Bzz Agent!!!!!

I have been a member for about 4 years now. It is not always consistant with constant offers, but currently I am reviewing 2 products! They send a item for you to try and tell people about, then you write a few reports on that. The more you do, the more they offer you. They also send free coupons sometimes to give out or use. All around it is a great company to do business with!

Want your free product rating
by Jim, Sep 20 '09

Looked interestin from what I read here. So I went in to have a look see.
Too much of a site to use for useless and nonprofitable antics. Appears what they want you to do is go to product sites. Then rate the products that you have already tried.
Not worth your time unless you have nothing better to do. My time is more valuable than giving them a rating on a product I have used in the past.
Not for me!! They make out, you lose.
What kind of gimmick is the bee thing? Maybe make you think you get better rewards if you get promoted. LOL

word of mouth
by Lysa, Jul 11 '09

This is not a typical survey site but a word of mouth marketing site. They give you items and ask you to give it word of mouth marketing. They also give you coupons to give to others and demand that you tell others that you are an agent for company. It does take time to write up the reports after you have done the marketing but I have gotten lots of fun and valuable stuff in return. If you are doing it for the items you are making a pretty low salary but being part of the site is fun. Do your research before you join on "Word of mouth marketing" and see if it is for you.

by jay, Jun 07 '09

There are no surveys-you're simply supp. to spread the word on free products they send out and receive MyPoints when you report the feedback. If you're looking for cash or traditional prizes like other sites give-this isn't the panel for you. They are very upfront w/ what they offer. I've received medicine & food so far. I look forward to whatever they send, b/c it's usu very useful.

So many greedy people out there.
by kalie, Oct 16 '08

BzzAgent is not a "hand-out" site. The MyPoints team-up isn't something you deserve, it's an added incentive.
I think getting $250 remotes and $140 toothbrushes that you get to KEEP is enough. How can you say that they're a scam? How are they scamming? Companies hire them to get people to spread word of their product/give feedback. You get FREE full-size things just for talking about them with your friends. If that's a scam I don't know what you're looking for.
I'm currently doing four campaigns and I love this site. Word of mouth is an important and great form of advertising.
True, if you're looking for money, this isn't the site with you. But NOWHERE do they claim to be that. They tell you what you'll be doing (trying out different products. talking about them with your friends, family and coworkers and HONESTLY reporting back what you thought about the product, whether you thought it was the best thing sliced sliced bread or an awful pile of poop.)

by Jamie, Jul 10 '08

BzzAgent is my favorite online company. I have gotten TONS of free products, write a few reports about each of them and get points! Prior to the changeover to Mypoints rewards, the rewards from BzzAgent were few and hard to get, you may have earned the points but the rewards would be gone. When BzzAgent switched to MyPoints I had enough points for over $75 in gift certificates and I have steadily been adding about 250 points or more a week to my My Points account from bzzagent alone. Sometimes they have trials of expensive products they allow you to buy at a discount, I had the LeapFrog Fly Pen that retails for $99, and we got it for $20, other free products I have recieve include Mr. Clean Shower Cleaner, Raid Yellow Jacket Trap, Off Mosquito lamp and spray, Windex cleaning wipes, Teddy grahms trail mix, Oust air Freshener, Ziploc Big Bags, and more.

Multiple Accounts?
by Lindsey, Feb 06 '08

From the beginning, Bzzagent assured me that we could have 2 bzzagents per household. My husband and I signed up and BAM, they suspended our accounts and accused me of opening "Multiple accounts". I kept communicating with them that they were mistaken, and they said they would look into it. They then wrote me back (a month later) and told me our accounts were "permanately deleted". They no longer responded to my emails. Nice folks, eh?

I live and breathe BzzAgent lately!! BzzAgent is not excactly a survey panel persay, but more of a word of mouth advertising company. What they do is send you products which you try and then tell your friends, family, coworkers and even random strangers if you want!! Then you report back to bzz agent in the form of a written or video report, much like school. You are given quality credits and bzzpoints for each report you write, which can determine your tier and be exchanged for prizes. Just being a BzzAgent alone is a prize in itself though, it's very rewarding a pleasant experience!!
