Wow I see a lot of angry people here. You cant expect to get chosen everytime for something. There are a lot of other review sites join them too. I've been with another company longer then bzz agent and have never received anything but i have also done a ton of reviews for free for them. Be thankful you have gotten something.

I finally found a color that matches me. I have bleached my hair since i was 17 and trying to find a brown color that looks great with my ultimate blonde hair has been so hard, the best i could do is mix colors to get the shade i like and thats extra money out of my pocket. My pain is finally over i found what i have been searching for. It Cosmetics Brow Power is perfect and easy to use.

No complaints here!
August 27, 2020

I've been a Bzzagent for several years now and I'm honestly shocked that there are ANY bad reviews for them here. I mean, come on people! The samples and stuff that we receive is absolutely free. I've consistently gotten an array of items in exchange for my opinion alone. No, you probably won't qualify for every campaign they email you about. I don't. No, you won't get something free every week or maybe even every month. But when you do, it's a nice surprise and fun to participate. You never know what you'll get. Highest dollar item I've gotten for NO COST was a brand new Samsonite Carry-On luggage valued at almost $300. I, today, received some flavored apple sauce for my daughter and I to try. All in all, I have zero complaints and think Bzzagent is awesome! So glad I signed up all those years ago.

It was okay
March 6, 2014

It was okay. I signed up around three weeks ago and i still haven't recieved my first campaign. While i understand it takes time i think it is a little slow but other than that it is a great site. They even give you mypoints for completing certain surveys/polls

Eh
February 16, 2015

I have been a member for 4-5 months now and have yet to recieve anything other than annoying emails from bzzagent. I have filled out endless surveys, am constantly on the website keeping updated & always accepting my points. However I have YET to recieve anything for review (which I love to do!) I had high hopes for this website & was hoping I could start a small YouTube channel, however I do not see that happening with this site.

Free Samples for Creating Media "Buzz" - I heard about BzzAgent from a person I met at a party. He said he got a free SonicCare toothbrush from this site, simply by agreeing to tell people about it. I was interested. The point of the site is to create marketing "buzz" through word of mouth. Companies that want marketing buzz can provide samples to BzzAgent.com, which then gives its members free samples. The members then test and talk about the samples with their friends, and thus create the "buzz." It's actually a lot of work, if you follow their directions -- because you have to report back everything you say to people. But it is an interesting concept; and I recently got a lot of allergy medication samples that I've been using and telling people about. So I believe the site works. Another site, www.startsampling.com, has a similar concept, but on a different scale.

Used to be great...
November 8, 2018

I have loved using bzzagent, I have gotten a handful of products but they have been so great. I mean who hates free stuff. I did all the reviews and everything was dandy. I stopped receiving invites so I decided to log in after a couple of months, come to find out it has completely changed and made me sign up for a new one. Now it won't let me access the site whatsoever. Just error messages galore, this makes me sad because it used to be such a great site. Oh well, time to search for a new one I suppose.

It is really too bad that the new company that took over Bzzagent has destroyed a once thriving "Word of Mouth" community. I used to really enjoy participating in my campaigns and sharing product experiences with friends and family. Everyone knew I was a Bzzagent and we would have fun discovering new products together, Now, the website is a mess, you are limited to 4 interest categories, and you have to purchase products and share on social media before you can even participate in a campaign. My time is more valuable than that and Bzzagent is not fun anymore. It really is too bad!

HI Heather,
We are sorry to hear that you are no longer enjoying your BzzAgent experience. However, we have not changed how agents are invited to campaigns at all:-) As for the website, agents no longer have a dashboard to log into, so we are not sure what you are looking at. Agents never purchase anything. All campaigns are free. You may be thinking of another site. Please contact us at: support@bzzagent.com for further assistance!

Been a member for about 2 years. I used to get products about 3-4 a month. Now I haven't gotten anything in 6 months because I stood up to their rude customer service agent Roberta that decided to send me a rude email. I see people sign up every day and get toys, shoes etc. I have been a member 2 years and only get FOOD products. Better companies out there - this isn't one of them. Beware of the crap CSR Roberta. She will ruin your account. They also do not respond on social media.

I was a member for over 8 years and it used to be fantastic. I received products to try and review fairly regularly. I passed out the coupons and not only told people about the products, but also about bzzagent and how much I enjoyed it. Now though, they changed things and I haven't received even 1 campaign invitation since. So disappointed. Apparently, loyalty doesn't count for much. That's my opinion. Sad.

Awful site now
September 24, 2019

Waste of time now. You no longer get any samples or offers, nothing. If you're not linked to Facebook, which I would never be, they don't even let you logon to see anything. Worst site now. Used to be great. To bad.

Hi Maria,

We are very sorry for the confusion about how the site now works! There is no longer a dashboard or account for agents to log into. Everything is done via email:-) Agents do not have to use any social media to join BzzAgent or participate in campaigns - in fact, most of our campaigns right now are 'Review' campaigns. If you have further questions - we would love to speak to you. You can reach out at: support@bzzagent.com

Since they changed everything. Just like other users said, there used to be a ton of stuff to answer or apply for samples and since this new change. The website is crap now. Even normal login has NOTHING. They totally ruined this company. Used to love it. Unless something changes soon, theyre gonna loose out on customers big time.

This is a sham of a product review company. They have radically changed their interface making it impossible to get on the list of agents. Super impersonal and vague. I wouldn't waste your precious time.

Rude!
August 10, 2016

I had a couple of campaigns and then kept getting error messages so set up a new profile. I then got told by the rudest person ever that I had breached their rules and would no longer get anything! I have tried to complain several times, yet get no response or get told to call them! They said they have no complaints procedure, which I find very odd, and even when I asked to deal with a manager the girl who was emailing me said I couldn't!
AVOID!

The best site to review!
February 7, 2021

Bzz is amazing. I signed up a couple of months ago and the products I've received have been so amazing and all Full sized. I recently received Lancôme's Idol perfume in its full size and I received an email that says YSL Libre is on the way. Like all other things you have to be an active participant to benefit. When the survey comes in for the campaigns fill them out. You'd be surprised the things you will receive. I'm such a happy camper it's like gifts for adults

Love the fact I'm getting real offers to test consumer products. In doing so, I do actually Try. Share. Repeat! Was really simple to sign up and take the short surveys. The wait wasn't long either. I received my first campaign assignment within 2-3 days after signing up. I'm now on my second campaign and I'm looking forward to the next campaign offer.

The update or merger that BzzAgent has gone through has ruined the experience for me. I have been a member for years and have tried everything from perfume to pet products. I was proud to be a member and encouraged others to sign up. I was receiving offers regularly, at least one or two a month, prior to the changes. Now, I get nothing. The three offers I was sent were completely not applicable to me. Their Instagram gets blown up by reviewers saying the same thing. I emailed them and they basically called me a liar, saying I couldn't have possibly received that many offers before. Thanks, Becky, now I REALLY don't like BzzAgent!

Hi Dian,
We are sorry to hear that you have not had a great experience recently. We do see that you have been invited to multiple campaigns in recent months and you applied for all of them. If you are not interested in a campaign, you should not apply for them. Applying for a campaign means that you are interested in that product and you will receive future invites like that. If you have further questions, you are welcome to contact us again or view our 'How it Works' page on the site!

I love dermalogica melting moisture I have extra dry skin and my skin feel so soft and amazing.It different kind lotion you only need little bit goes long way. When first pump out lotion and than turn into oil and has citrus smell and not to strong. I already recommend to family and friend how amazing this product is. I already buy again and will continue use this products I use this product at night before Igo to bed. I also like that product has no artificial fragrance and colors and also certified cruelty free to animals.

I think it would be inappropiate to rate BzzAgent less than five stars. I haven't done a campaign in a few years, but when I did it was a lot of fun. One time they made me host a party and gave me a Wii game with coupons to pass out so the guests could go out and buy it too. Another time they gave me a nice set of cleaning products. I also got gum, makeup, lip balm, and those shoe gels. Sometimes you get to review an online product, it all depends on what's available.

Understand that the companies involved want people in certain demographics and not just anyone. It's not just about getting fre stuff, but being able to spread the word about a product.
