I've been a member of Smiley360 for a few years & it's been an absolute complete 100% waste of my time. I've only received a small sample of Nexium & Zzzquil in all those years.

If anyone is saying they're getting any actual full sized products that are from nice brands, I'd wager they have a blog or website and/or are posting all kinds of stuff on social media which is how they're getting the better full sized items.

I'm just a normal woman in my mid 30s who doesn't have a blog, website & spend all my time posting advertising on my social media. So I'm going to guess that's why I'm not getting approved for anything but a few pills.

The problem with this site is they expect us all to do a TON of work on the front end (answering surveys, questions, interacting on the site & with brands etc) without ANY guarantee of anything. Other sample review sites at least give you the samples to try & then you complete feedback, reviews etc once you've tried it.

I've exhaustingly answered all kinds of surveys & questions & participated the best I could in hopes I could increase my chances of getting better items (but I mean come on, we can't spend all our free time on these sites just giving free feedback & free advertising for brands & products without some guarantee we're going to get something for it!).

So my guess is at this point, they're basically just mining the majority of its users for free targeted marketing. The few users who actually get anything substantial are either investing a huge effort into participating in their site and/or have blogs/websites/social media.

At first I thought it'd be fun to try new things & provide feedback. But seeing how much effort I've wasted on this site with ZERO in return, this has just turned into a huge frustration. Save yourself & since I'm guessing your time is worth something & has some value, just buy the products you want & need & move on with your life :) Don't putz around this site in hopes you'll get a box of tampons or some item you probably didn't even need worth a few bucks.

Today I just did another survey for a chance to get a higher priced item (my final attempt!). It said if I got approved, I'd have to go to a mattress/pillow store (which takes a lot of time) & then I'd get a pillow worth approximately $90. Of course I didn't get approved. I've actually done a few of these types of surveys & obviously never get approved. So that's it - I'm officially done with this site.

Hope this helps you!
