REDEEMING REWARDS

Every campaign offers a stated reward which is rewarded after an assignment completion.

BzzAgent is a media network, operating since 2002, that recruits "BzzAgents" to evaluate products and services and then share their opinions on them with people they know. BzzAgent has over one million member agents around the world, and uses the idea of word of mouth communication to generate measurable results for marketers.

Influence the Biggest Brands

BzzAgent has an impressive client list which includes: L’Oréal, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble and Purina. You may be invited to test products from international companies and have a major influence on the brand!

Test Merchandise

Members must receive an invitation to a campaign in order to participate. Assignments usually involve testing merchandise and coupons/rebate offers for free samples and then writing/sharing their thoughts on the brand online and on social media.

Being Assigned an “Activity”

If you are asked to test a product, in many cases you will be assigned any or all of the following activities:

  • Posting to social media about the product (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram)
  • Writing a review about the product you have been instructed to use
  • Uploading photos and videos about a given product

Communication Directors (Comm Devs) then rate and respond to the activities you submit based on guidelines, and you are awarded points based on the quality of the “buzz”.

Online Surveys

In addition to testing products, BzzAgent invites its members to participate in quick online survey opportunities for extra points and rewards. These also help the organization it you with the right products that you’ll be excited to try.

Collect Points and Free Products

Receive MyPoints and sometimes free products in exchange for your BzzAgent participation. Feel good about sharing your opinion to the world and gaining something in return.

Build your BzzScore

Each member accumulates a BzzScore on a yearly basis. It ranges from zero to 10 and takes into account all of the activities you participate in. Depending your level of participation, your BzzScore may go up and down throughout the year. The following are ways to keep your BzzScore high:

  • Putting detail and attention into your assigned activities
  • Staying up to date on all the latest survey opportunities
  • Being an influencer by involving your fellow friends in your BzzActivites
  • Connecting your BzzAgent profile to your social media accounts

The better your BzzScore, the more invites you will receive for new campaigns. You can view your BzzScore at any time from your member home page.

Earn Rewards

BzzAgent offers rewards as you participate. Some are unlocked along the way and some contain little surprises to keep you interested and always wanting more. Rewards are rewarded after various milestones or achievements, such as: your 10th Tweet, an exceptional photo, your 25th review, etc.

I've been with BzzAgent for many years now, and they keep getting better. Actually, I was one of the first to sign up when they first started, and they were regular pioneers, as this type of panel hadn't been tried before. They aren't a survey panel, per se. They are a social influence panel, the likes of House Party and Smiley 360. They ask you profile questions, so you can qualify for missions. Then, you get products sent to you, either a bunch of samples or an actual full size product to try, and then your job is to review and tell others about it. I like it and I've gotten to try some very cool products. You also can get a few MyPoints for filling out some profiles, so there's an added bonus. The format has been tweaked much since they first started and they're always improving. The activities are easy, like talking about how you've shared the product with other, or you write a review, fill out a survey about it, or upload pictures, etc. I really enjoy it and as long as you do some of the activities for your mission, (it's not necessary to do every single one, which is nice,) you get to try new products for absolutely free. Highly recommended! :-)

Happy new user

Just joined last week and completed all the surveys which didn't take long and we're kind of fun. I already have 2 campaigns and am excited to get started

I Bzzed

I have only been with them maybe 2 months and last month I received the new Schick Hydro Razor and was I Bzzzzzed! I have been using the Gillett...for over 30 years and thought it was the greatest, was I ever wrong love this Schick and now I get to try out a new type of Head & Shoulders...I guess a lot of people don't like free products to actually try out and report on it!!!

I love them!

I absolutely love BzzAgent! I get to test products for free! They actually send you the items!

Lot of work

I do not get the high ratings.

It took like 3 months until I received the first "campaigns". The first 3 were clearly bs.

- a free trial to redbox instant that is free anyway
- coupons for claritin
- sign up to a free portal

My score is now 7.4 of 10.

The good thing is that you get points from mypoints.com for your reviews etc.

The bad is that you have to pretty much spam all of your friends and have to put in a lot of time for writing reviews, twitter posts, facebook posts etc.

Given that in other portals you also receive products to test (for the "price" of 1 follow up survey for which you get paid as well as the initial survey) that is not really great.

I will stick around for some more time and see if I get some decent campaigns.

For a box of cereals or a redbox trial the effort is to big.

If you are not into social media forget this portal as you will never get a good score that you need to receive campaigns.

Update: Downgraded to 1 star. It might deserve 2 but as there are so many unrealistic raving reviews I decided for one.
I stopped using the site.
The amount of work you have to put in does not stand in any relation to the outcome. You will have to spend hours writing reviews and reporting with whom you spoke about the stuff. You will also need to continuously spam all of your friends.
Last thing I received were coupons for some candles that did not even cover the purchase price.
