I have been a bzz agent for a few years now but since the new company took over, they never sent anything despite of the fact that I have synced all my social medias with them and accepted offers from them. Looks like the new company cannot handle this properly. I contacted them and they said once you accept the offer then we decide whom we will send the product, it is not a confirmation that you will get the product. Earlier, if they used to email you offer and you accept it, it meant confirmed, you accepted to do the survey and that they will send you the product.

Hi Salina,

We are sorry to hear that you have not been in any campaigns this past year. An invite to a campaign has never been a guaranteed spot in a campaign. Campaigns have always had limited spots, even before the re-launch in October 2018. You may have previously been invited to campaigns with more spots that the ones you have been invited to this past year. In any case, a spot in a campaign has always been based on qualifying for that campaign (by your demographics) and how fast you reply to the invite. If you have further questions, please contact us directly at: support@bzzagent.com.

I love BZZAGENT! I just signed up with the company a few months ago and already received a high dollar item to test out. I am waiting on my new camera to come in to fill out my review so I can give them the best quality pictures available!
I hope to build a solid relationship with this company and suggest you do too! I highly recommend BZZAGENT! If you are up to testing products and giving quality, real reviews I suggest you give it a go! You won't regret it!
Thank you BZZAGENT!

Amazing company!
August 27, 2016

I've been a buzz agent for two months now and I've been given all sorts of great products to try! First the entire line of loreal skincare products and now claritin clarispray. These are awsome and expensive products that I got for FREE just to tell people about buzz agent and write honest reviews. Totally worth the time and effort if you ask me!

Reline-it
May 22, 2021

I recently had a chance to use reline-it thanks to Bzz.
The product work well and i am pleased with the results. I use other product and seabond polygrip and they did not work. With reline-it the denture fits well and i do not have to mess to clean off my denture. I once agsin can enjoy my food like corn on the cobb. I can smile mow without the fear of fallong out. I have mentioned reline-it to my family and friends. This product makes me feel good about myself once again. So I highly recommen reline-it

Shortly after submitting the last five star review I had written about BzzAgent, more unbelievable products were sent to me to review. The newest items I had received in the past few weeks include a YSL perfume, a Valentino perfume which would sell for $130 on Sophora.com, a high end face cleanser, a high end shampoo, a high end hair mask, a Korean face serum, a bronzer, and more products such as a hand soap, and a face mask are also on the way. Thank you, BzzAgent, for choosing me to participate in various campaigns!

We are sorry to hear about your frustrations with BzzAgent. We re-launched last year. At that time, all agents had to re-register on our new platform. If you did not do that, you are not an active member. There is no longer a dashboard for agents to log into. Everything is done via email. If you have not already done so, we suggest that you reach out to our support team: support@bzzagent.com.

Avoid
March 19, 2016

My rating is too high... should be negative. You may get package with samples... wow, then bzzz will really bug you to survey and survey and blog... etc... what do you get other these free samples... nothing. This a waste of time... you are doing work for them to make them money and they don't pay you or give you anything in return... if you are lucky you will get the free samples. I remember getting box years ago from them... for clam juice... with coupons to get several bottles free... free clam juice. Woo hoo. Those coupons went in the trash... who drinks clam juice... this is what most of what they give is junk.
Oh, they wanted to review shirts from levi strauss... they sent me a shirt and did not ask my size... they sent a mens small... i were xl. Disorganized. They don't read what you write because they would not have liked my reviews on those 2 items.

In short... stay away. The free stuff they promise is not coming... don't waste you time like i did. I really thought this was good program but it is not.

I signed up for this website about six months ago, and in the first month I received my first product. I was invited to the L'oreal Lip Palette campaign where I got to pick the color family I wanted to try and was sent the product for free to review and keep. The campaign activities were easy enough- taking a photo of the product and writing a review. I like that each review is read by a staff member and given a rating. I believe that if you write "excellent" reviews you get selected for more campaigns than someone who writes mediocre reviews. Writing an excellent review was easy and took me no more than ten minutes. All was quiet on the site for about four months after that, and I didn't receive any invitations to campaigns. Then, earlier this month I received an invitation to a new campaign from L'oreal to try their micellar water, and a few days later I qualified for a campaign from Warheads to try out a new candy. Overall I think this is a great website with no scams and a good amount of opportunities to review products for free. The campaign activities are easy to complete with a small amount of time and effort. If I had not waited four months between campaigns, I would have given them five stars. I do believe that the only reason I had to wait is because there were no campaigns that I would be interested in or that matched my profile though, so I'm not super upset.

*Note: I live in the Chicago area, so there were no problems with shipping for me, but this might not be the case elsewhere. I know that some Canadian members have been upset about shipping issues before.

I have been a member of bzzagent for many years. I have always enjoyed writing reviews and trying new products. But since they merged with Power Reviews in January, I only have received one product.

Hi Lisa, While we are super happy to hear that you have enjoyed BzzAgent, we didn't merge with Powerreviews in January. BzzAgent was actually acquired by PowerReviews back in July 2018! If you have any questions about your account, please email us at: support@bzzagent.com

I have been reviewing for BUZZAGENT for years now, like literally since 2013 and I recently joined a campaign for Lash Idle, and received an email that I was approved and the items shipped. I was pretty excited about this, because who doesn't love free makeup. Well, the email that comes when I am approved and item ships sometimes comes with shipping tracking. Well this one didn't. I waited and waited for it to come and it's never came. Why would someone lie and say they didn't receive something when they have never done this before, I have never not reviewed an item I gave. I am not a newbie they see I have been doing this so long. But even after several attempts of emailing support, they tell you to look for tracking and report it through them. Well, WHAT DO YOU DO IF THERE IS NO TRACKING NUMBER? I HAVE LITERALLY EMAILED THEM 17 TIMES TO GET THEIR HELP AND HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING!

I GET EMAILS FROM THEM DAILY, THREATNING ME, AND SAYING THINGS LIKE, 'REVIEW THIS NOW OR ELSE' I KID YOU NOT I AM POSTING THESE EMAILS BECAUSE I AM SICK AND TIRED IF THR BULLYING OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WONDER IF THESE COMPANIES KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

Hi Mandy, We are sorry to hear about your frustrations. You emailed us and you were removed from this campaign since you reported not receiving the sample. 1000's of samples are sent every week. Unfortunately, we do not have control over the carriers (USPS, etc). When an agent is removed from a campaign, this does not affect their account. We explained this to you, in our email reply.

I love being a BzzAgent!
February 23, 2016

I love this site! I've been participating in campaigns for almost 6 years and have had a blast trying new products and sharing them with my friends, family members, coworkers, and pretty much anyone I meet! I'm not big on social media but I have a big network of (gasp!) *real* people surrounding me and I much prefer being able to buzz about products in person. I like telling people at grocery stores and drug stores and cosmetic stores all about the things I'm trying and I keep the coupons with me to pass out. If you're new, all I can really recommend is that you wait and accept any small campaigns that you're offered. My first one was to try out redbox (yes that's how long ago it was) and I received a couple free DVD codes and reported back on my experiences. Since then, I've tried several different kinds of razors, shaving cream, dog food, cosmetics, feminine care products, hair care, cleaning products, desserts, snacks, gel insoles, air fresheners and candles, seasonings, candy, eBay gift codes, etc. if you like to talk and give your opinion then it's a great site.

My previous review still stands. Becky from BzzAgent kindly replied, which I am thankful for and appreciate. I have some advice then for BzzAgent and maybe it will help them be more transparent or help their users to better understand how their system works. BzzAgent's reply to my initial review stated "invites are not based on the 4 interests you selected." Yet on their "How it Works Page" under "Campaigns and Invites" it states some of the main criteria used to determine who gets an invite are: who you are, YOUR INTERESTS, and where you live. Maybe change that whole section then and just say your demographics determine if you get a survey invite. Get rid of asking people their interests in the initial application since it seems pointless anyways and just causes confusion to their purpose.

If the criteria portion is based on the surveys BzzAgent sends, then that should be clarified in that section. There should be some type of wording that states "only your demographics determine if we send you a survey invite. Based on what you fill out in the survey (and that criteria can be interests, who you are, where you are, etc.) then we will choose people based on that information to join the campaign." Something like that. Gives a clear distinction that interests are only used in the survey process. I wouldn't say that interests don't have a part in getting invited to a campaign since based on the website it actually does. I would say interests has no bearing on if you get a survey, that is based solely on demographics.

Again, we are sorry for the confusion with the wording on the site. At the very top of the page it states "Occasionally we’ll send out surveys to gather more info about your lifestyle and interests to help us match you with upcoming campaigns". Under the 'Interests' section, it states "We get this info from your surveys and through the APPLICATION PROCESS". Therefore, you are not limited to the 4 interests selected when you first register. This is a part of the initial registration process that cannot be changed. If you have further questions about this, please contact us directly!

I actually enjoyed BzzAgent before the big switch. When they announced it was changing I thought it would be for the better. Sadly, it's worse. I resigned up as soon as I could when they relaunched last Fall. Since then I got one campaign offer and it was for condemns. I turned that done because I was not interested in it. The way it is set up they only let you choose 4 interests. Mine are Beauty, Fashion, Lingerie and Fitness. Now I don't know how condoms fit into those interests... I guess with the lingerie possibly, although I think that's a big jump. I think they would have fit better for those who chose lifestyle as an interest, which I didn't.

Now they say that they match the campaigns with your interest. Well, looking at their Instagram page they've had quite a few campaigns for beauty products... yet have I gotten any emails regarding them, nope. Honestly, there are so many other great sites where you can try products for free. Don't waste your time with this one. All they'll do is keep telling you to look out for an email, we're having new launches soon, we base it on your interests, and yada yada yada. They don't actually seem to care. I mean, just look at the comment sections of their social media posts. Sounds like quite a few people have not been happy since the change.

Not honest
September 19, 2018

After finally getting a sample, I hated it. Couldn't leave a negative review, it was rejected. The second product I was not able to obtain as it is not avaible for me, so I could get it. Tried to review and that too was rejected.
It is based on WOM which means they are using people as free advertising. But will not take in negative feedback. You are supposed to earn points by spreading the word, but when I won't advertise on my social media accounts I am penialized. Thats not fair. I understand earning points, but not demoting a person.

Customer Service says "We don't expect or assume that you're going to love every product or service that you try. And, as we mention in the BzzAgent code of conduct, Bzz only works because it's honest, so discuss any bad with the good. The client wants to hear your completely honest opinions. And remember... just because you do not have a good experience with a product doesn't mean that someone else won't love it" So basically I get that they don't care about the people that don't like something because there are others out there who do.

No longer a user.
