Influenster

Influenster is a pack of liars. They tell you you're getting this great product, only to have it not show up. They're scumbags, their customer service absolutely sucks and they've left me embarrassed and upset. Avoid at all costs, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

The free samples are fine. However, they offer cash back on some products, but rarely deliver on that. Only order a "cash back" product if you would buy it full price, because they probably won't be sending you the promised money back.

When I first signed up, I received Vox Boxes regularly. Good stuff -- pricey beauty products, even a car seat system. Fast forward 6 years, and now I get nothing, no matter what I do. I suspect that it's related to my social activity: either because I refuse to post on social (never have, and it was never a problem before) or because my following is small. It's a bummer, because I really enjoyed the site.

The only reason Influenster is in business is to harvest your personal information and sell it. Unless you like having your email account flooded with spam and con artists targeting you, I suggest you steer clear of this place. Oh, and don't listen to the phony reviews praising Influenster for all the free stuff they give. They don't give out anything. On rare occasions they may toss a bone to someone, but that is only to keep the scam going because they are making tons of money selling your private information. Beware of this place. It is very dangerous.

Being harassed on other social media sites by employees of the app, including attempts to dox, is a no in my book. That crosses multiple lines. If you have anything negative to say about your user experience, they will find you on other apps. It's creepy and a safety issue. It used to be a decent site. It's gotten unusable since the merger. Employee aggression against users was the last straw. Don't give your information to these people. It's not safe.

Scam. Don't waste your time. I spend thousands of $ at sephora a year & this app didn't send me even 1 product to try. Not very smart seeing as im always kind in reviews unlike the crazy amount of bad reviews people leave on sephora, after actually getting a box. They just want reviews on old stuff & not actually promote anything. Oh & now they want to manipulate people taking photo reviews. Showing you how they want product pictures to look professional. Yeah I'll do that, right now. If you want a few tampon join influenster! If you want luxury products forget it, not gonna happen even if you're a frigging Rouge that would actually buy it & not just leave a snarky review after getting it. F+ OH yeah and the drug dealers on there is insane just posting blatantly offering fentyl, pills even horse tranquilizers. Trash.

I've gotten so many absolutely awesome products from Influenster for free in exchange for my real honest review! They aren't asking for lies, they simply want the truth! And I tell ut exactly as I see it and experience it, and have recieved such fantastic products! Look at the photos, those are from just the last couple of months!

I have been a member for about 4 years. At first, before they sold the company, I would get awesome VoxBoxes. From companies like Dior. But I haven't gotten one in@ least a year, despite busting my butt on that site doing reviews and snaps. It's all based on your number of followers now whereas before it wasn't. This is really unfair to those of us who have been loyal to them. My advice: Unless you have all day to spend on social media, don't bother trying to get a box from these people.

Influenster is an app and website where people like you and me post reviews. Why post reviews besides genuinely liking to help people out? Like anything they ask a lot of questions just fill it out. They send you surveys based on your likes and dislikes. You fill out the surveys and you will either get a voxbox or not. Yes in the beginning its kinda a pain filling out all the snaps. But once you do it, it's done. Plus I have been with them for years. It's worth it. I'm a no body and have received high end brands like Dior. Helpful hint connect all your social accounts it helps your impact score. ( better chance of getting a voxbox. You never pay for shipping or anything totally free!

I have been with influenster for 4 years.weather you do your dailies or your a perfect match for the next test product does not matter.i have received 81 voxbox pre surveys since nov 2021 yet have not been picked for 1.but you see others getting 2 or 3 a month.it is all in the allgorithm they say.i say the allgarithm is prejudice.it should be based on weather you fit the product for testing.not were you live.how old you are or how much income you bring in.we are all here to give our honest opinions and influence and promote for future sales on the product.i think everyone should have a fair chance.but they don't

I had noticed that the stores that sold Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars no longer stocked them. I happened to find some Nutty Buddy's in a Dollar General Store. I ate one or two. Taking it out of the wrapper it fell apart and didn't come out whole as it normally does. Noticed that it was soft when I ate it. The Nutty Buddy Bar upset my stomach and caused Gas! I had lots of farts. When I Farted i had real loose Poo in my pants. It was terrible! Every time I would Pee I had to wipe my Butt from the times I would Fart! I called Nutty Butty Office of ConSumer affairs. They contradicted everything I said. Said the bars had melted after I bought them. I said no I bought them that way. Well I couldn't wait to eat one when I got home! I love Nutty Buddy Bars and have eaten many of them. Buying them every 2 weeks when I would buy groceries. I told comsumer affairs that The Customer was Always RIGHT! They were NO help at all that's why I'm up here making a complaint.

Hi, I'm Influenster! Just jump through these forty hoops, spend a lot of your own money, and MAYBE we'll send you a prize!

They just sent me another offer to get $2 off my choice of $20 and over products (that I am supposed to pay for) so that I can post photos, tweet, and tell everyone about the product. Yeah, I'm going to do your marketing so that I can get rejected for ambiguous prizes... these people must be on crack.

I laughed and deleted their email.

I have never heard of this site/app until 15 minutes ago. I wanted to read some real reviews for products after seeing the reviews on Amazon and other sites seemed to have fake/all positive reviews, and Influenster prompted me to register/log in. I tried to register with an email address I never use or give to anyone. The site said I was already registered. So I tried with another old email address I haven't used in 11 years. Site says that address is already registered. I tried with my personal every day go-to email address. Already registered. I searched each email account - no record of ever having/receiving anything from this site/domain despite the fact that I've never deleted an email from my inbox on any of the first 2 accounts. So I went back to the site and tried a password reset for each of my email accounts. Never got a password reset email in any of my accounts. Something is seriously wrong with this site - either they're registering fake accounts with email addresses they got from a junk mail list so they'll look legit, or the site/account creation/login/etc are all broken.

I see so many reviews here, and elsewhere, about how this site doesn't give them enough samples, or doesn't give them to them often enough. Jeez people, they're FREE samples, be grateful you get any and don't sound spoiled! I've been with this site for about 2 years and have received 3 sample boxes. They had a fun mix of products, and typically are geared toward me based on survey answers (one was a school related one, and I am a college junior, so that was fun!). Just check regularly for any new Virtual VoxBox (no physical sample, but often coupons and fun activities), and keep up with the survey questions. Be patient, and you'll get one eventually, and when you do I guarantee it'll be great! Usually 5-8 products, some VERY expensive normally like a Covergirl foundation I once received, and a good amount of time to sample and review before the event expires.

I'm disgusted with influenster. I found this site when it first came out, and I told so many people about it I cannot even believe it. I am generally a happy person and if something is cool- I will talk to you about it. It is not cool. I dedicated hours reviewing my favorite things, including a detailed phone review that probably could have been used by the company itself and saved them from hiring a new employee. I'm not sounding too happy here- but the point is that if you want to dedicate your time to positively influence, make a blog! I wish I had typed everything on there instead of wishy washy sites like this. It is all the excitement of what you might get, very rarely do you get anything at all. Get a blog and maybe check out a subscription box. Best wishes

Sites like this are responsible for over inflated reviews that consumers think are true in turn making us, the consumer, waste our money based on fake reviews. Some people do say they received free products for review. I think a lot of reviews on websites are fake and anyone being paid (either with money or with free products) for giving reviews should have to state that in the review and I don't think they all do so. I only shop online and I make my decisions based on honest reviews not reviews that were paid for. I think this practice should be outlawed.

Yes there collecting our data and know exactly what we do online. But that is where we signed up for. People think it's a Santa app and just apply and get lots of free products but they haven't read how it works. So they get mad because there not getting anything.
They don't read the terms and conditions. If you read it you know what you signed up for it's not a bad app.

Only they are growing to fast and making to many changes that's why it's a mess. I am disabled for a few years now and it is better then doing nothing. That's the reason i am a member of more similar websites and apps. But we don't have many in the Netherlands. To bad have of the people do it for free products and don't even know what a review is and what it can do to a product or company.
That when you give a product a one only because you don't like the color or the product or just write bad things because you had a bad experience then please stop and do something else. The brand pays a lot of money on this, and you could see the product works perfectly and I would buy it again but then in an other color. This is a little bit to bright for me but that is my personal opinion maybe you love this color then this is perfect for you.

WAS NOT ABLE TO SIGN TO https://www.influenster.com/ to leave a review. Any of my e-mail address return as user already exist. When tried to recover passwords, - no e-mail received. Wandering who is writing those very nice reviews? Product manufacturers themselves, or Internet bots, or people paid to write nice reviews?

Okay, personally I think its pretty ridiculous how many people complain about this app/website. They're very straight forward. Their ultimate goal is to exchange products in return for your honest opinion.

HOWEVER there is no guarantee you will get anything. Here's the thing, if they send out a product in exchange for a review. They want that review to actually be seen/heard to advertise the product. So a big factor of you receiving a voxbox is based on your impact. And they also want quality reviews. If you're posting short vague reviews it's likely that you won't get picked often.

If you put in the time and effort to build up your impact score and write quality reviews, the odds of you receiving a voxbox will increase! It may take a while but you are getting it 100% free.

I personally have earned some sweet products, that I love!

If you're willing to actually work at it, then it's worth it!

Ever since I joined Influenster I fell in love with it more and more. I love reviewing, answering, asking, and receiving free samples. It's very easy to be apart of this community.
