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

great
by kevin, Aug 25 '09

it is real good and they are upfront about what they are about. you don't make money.. you qualify for campaigns where they send you products to try and then you write up reviews and tell your friends/family. They compensate you with "mypoints" and real nice items to try out for free.

Its for smart people
by Vanassa, Aug 10 '09

Not for surveys, but it offers free samples and an affiliate program. If U were smart, U would put those two things together and make some money.

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.

It's all about free samples
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.

I love to bzz
by Arleen, Feb 18 '09

I have been a bzzagent for @4 yrs and I have received wonderful products to sample. I have received sonicare products, free meals at Boston Market, free candles. I love that they are connected with Mypoints because when I do a bzz report my points accumulate so fast. I always enjoyed Mypoints and now it is easier to get gift cards.

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.)

I'm confused
by Amanda, Oct 01 '08

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I do not understand how to be invited to join a campaign. Oh wait I was invited but it was $150 fee for some feel good medicine. It seems like all they want you to do is go to websites and buy stuff. I'm lost. I'm still a lonely solitary bee :(

A site for children..not surveys!
by Celeste, Sep 27 '08

I do not know if any of you have had experience with the Hari Khrishnas of the 1960's, they handed out flowers at the airport and bugged you constantly with dogma. I am just not the type to hand out coupons like religious flyers. All the "Bee Hive" related language is more than a bit childish and irritating. I took a pass on this one.

favorite
by Dian, Sep 14 '08

This is hands down my favorite place to go. I have been in on multiple campaigns and gotten tons of free samples to try out and coupons to hand out. This site practices WOM marketing to its extreme. It uses a combination of rewards incentives including mypoints and "status" which can get you into new campaigns quicker. Two thumbs up!!!

none sense
by Jennifer, Aug 07 '08

They are one of the lowest places out there for scams. They give you these things to try to "pimp out" and you end up not getting mypoints instead? That takes you THE longest time to cash out. LAME!

Now even better for MyPoints Users!
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?

Best of the Best!!
by Sarah, Jan 22 '08

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!!

A++++++++++++++++++++++

Bzz Agent builds a better consumer
by Joyce, Dec 07 '07

I have been participating in Bzz Agent and have had a wonderful experience all around. I love being able to share product samples and/or coupons with my friends, family and even the occasional stranger. The Chat Threads project connected to the current Chapstick Naturals campaign is positive proof of the company's legitimacy. I have even received a $180 Sonicare
