From here to there and back to say... (Reply to this comment)

Enjoyed the great review and information!

Evidently, this is the site I was searching for each time I took all of those wrong turns and ended up in "Psyche!-You-DO-have-to-pay-me" land.

I went straight from your review to startsampling and sampled away. Even if I never receive a sample (and I am confident that I will) I have returned to this page with my wallet intact.

And with nothing to lose, why wouldn't I return and keep sampling?

Thanks!

Been to many sites like this one only to have to fill out surveys' that take 15 minutes ...and they ALWAYS say you aren't required to buy anything...however the pages always end up at the last page where you ARE required to purchase something. I just delete the site in my e-mail, now. Thanks for a great review.

Not as good as it once was (Reply to this comment)

I have been a member of this site for years...and actually have over 26 thousand points.. but can't do anything with them.. the prizes are always gone.. and the ones I see on the page are junk anyways.. But, what is upsetting is that I look everyday, and sometimes they have a new product, and I check it, but I never receive the sample anymore.
I even wrote the company and told them, for some reason I am not getting the samples, even when I order them... except all those magazines, I get those. They said they would fix the problem but 6 months later, still nothing. It has basically become a waste of time to go to the site.

Diminishing returns (Reply to this comment)

Have been a member for a number of years, investing time in trying/reviewing products. Rewards that do not require a fee have not been available to me. Repeated inquiries, including via the Better Business Bureau have not remedied this situation.

I used to like them... (Reply to this comment)

...until they switched their redemption program. Now they are charging more postage than the prize itself costs to buy! I know the idea is the free samples, but I have quit visiting because of the highway robbery on the prizes.... I miss it.

Hi,

I'm a member at this site also and I check in every single day, almost. I have racked up thousands of points but can't find anything to cash them in for that I like that is also available.. So, I just keep adding up points. I really enjoyed your epinion. See you again.

Very well put together! This is one of my favorite sites as well. I don't know of too many people who don't like to get free things in the mail-It's Great!
