Companies that Send You Free Products to Test & Keep
If you’re looking for legit product testing opportunities, these companies are known for giving free samples and products to consumers.
1. Daily Goodie Box
Daily Goodie Box is a great website for free samples. It mails out free stuff in a variety of categories.
Getting free samples from Daily Goodie Box isn’t as simple as just signing up and claiming your samples.
With Daily Goodie Box (DGB), you’ll need to follow the company’s social media accounts. DGB looks at comments on its Facebook page, and then it will randomly select the winners of a free box.
If you are chosen to receive a free box, you’ll receive a reply to your comment which says something like, “Congrats! You’ve got a Goodie Box.”
This means that you need to follow Daily Goodie Box on its social media accounts and leave comments as well.
So, commenting is the way you’ll get free stuff from DGB, and you’ll often see comment threads that have multiple winners.
Here’s where you can follow the company:
What’s great about DGB is that shipping on the box is also free! You will need to provide your opinion on the products you try though. It’s a pretty quick process though. You just need to answer some quick questions and then leave a short review.
Make sure you read my Daily Goodie Box review to learn more about the company.

2. PINCHme
You can actually pick a product from one of their leading brands, they will send it to you.
You can normally try out new samples every two weeks.
Read my review of PINCHme for more details.
3. Adidas Product Testing
Adidas has a product testing program that you can join to get free Adidas shoes and apparel. So, if you’re an Adidas fan, you might want to consider becoming an adidas product tester.
With this program, you need to test the products you get, keep detailed logs of your daily activities, and answer a simple online questionnaire to provide your feedback.
The downside to the Adidas Product Testing program is that you don’t get to keep the items that you’re sent. Once the trial period ends, you will need to send the item you’ve tested back to Adidas. Adidas does provide you with a return label though, so you won’t have to pay to ship the items back.
4. Microsoft User Research
You get to test apps, software, games and other latest Microsoft products.
5. The Pink Panel
This is a great panel for the ladies. You get o test and keep all kinds of beauty products.

6. BzzAgent
This is a company that sends you all kinds of products to test for free.
The best part is that they will pay you if you are willing to answer a few questions, basically reviewing the product you just used.
Note: It seems like they changed the rules and don’t actually pay testers for the follow-up surveys. Thanks to Tonya, Taylor, Rebecca, and other readers who brought this to my attention. I was just reporting based on my personal experience a while back when they indeed used to send follow-up surveys and you’d be paid if you took those surveys.

35. Amazon Vine
Amazon Vine is Amazon’s review program.
It’s an invitation-only review program. Amazon selects trusted reviewers to provide their feedback on items, including pre-release and new products.
Because the program is invitation-only, there’s no way to apply to it.
So, how can you get chosen?
There are a few things that Amazon looks for when choosing Vine Voices:
- Amazon chooses customers to participate in the program based on their reviewer rank. Every customer who reviews products on Amazon has a reviewer rank. This indicates the quality of their reviews and how helpful they are considered to be by other customers. Learn more about increasing your reviewer rank here.
- You’re more likely to be selected for the program if you create helpful reviews consistently.
- If you develop a reputation as an expert in specific product categories, then you are more likely to be invited to the program.

More Ways to Get Free Products
Above, we’ve given you quite a lot of companies that offer free product testing opportunities. In this section, I just want to give you a few more ways you can get more free products to test out.
57. Follow brands on social media
On their social media accounts, brands sometimes post about new product samples and testing offers. So, follow the brands you like on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and wherever else they have a social media profile.
Not only does following brands on social media allow you to get any testing opportunities that may arise, but it also allows you to keep up with any coupons, deals, giveaways, and other savings opportunities that brands may have to offer.
58. Start a blog
Another option to get free stuff is to start a blog. Many companies work with bloggers to promote their products. So, they send out pre-release items or new products to bloggers. For example, a beauty brand might release a new mascara, and send that mascara out to bloggers so they’ll try it out and write a blog post about it.
If you have a blog, and you can grow a following, then you can work directly with brands to promote their products.
Not only do bloggers get sent free stuff, but some even get paid to create sponsored content.
While anyone can start a blog, not every blog is successful. You will need to put in a lot of work to build up your readership. Still though, you can make money from blogging and get free products.
You will need a topic for your blog.
To get started, you need to get a domain name and hosting, which you can get from sites like Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy. And, then you can publish your blog posts through WordPress.org.
Once you have started your blog, you will need to upload content consistently. Build up your following, and then brands will likely want to work with you.
You can also sign up for sites which connect bloggers with brands, such as PayPerPost.
59. Gain a following on social media
Social media influencers get paid to advertise and create sponsored content for brands on Instagram and other social media platforms.
If you can gain a decent following, then you can get free products sent to you. Brands often work with influencers in order to promote their products.
Now, there are quite a lot of platforms you can join as an influencer that can connect you with brands.
Here are some to consider:
If you gain a following, then you may be able to get paid to advertise products for brands on your social media accounts.
60. Get free gift cards from Swagbucks that you can use to get free stuff!
To get even more freebies, sign up for Swagbucks. If you don’t already know, Swagbucks is a rewards website that pays you for doing really easy tasks, such as:
- Playing games
- Shopping online
- Browsing the internet
- Taking surveys
- Watching videos
- Completing offers
- Uploading your receipts
For doing these tasks, you’ll earn points called Swag Bucks (SB). You can redeem your Swag Bucks for free cash to your PayPal account, or for gift cards.
You can use the free cash or gift cards you get on Swagbucks to purchase items you want, for free!
So, you get free cash that you can spend on anything you want.
61. Start a YouTube channel
Another way you can get free products to test out is to start a YouTube channel. Many YouTubers are paid by brands to create sponsored videos where they promote a brand’s product or service.
Of course, you will need to make sure you build up your subscribers and views so that brands will want to work with you and send you free products to share with your viewers. Getting sponsored by brands isn’t the only benefit of having a YouTube channel. YouTubers can also earn money from the ads on their videos.
Once your channel gets enough views, you’ll be eligible to join the YouTube Partner Program.
As a YouTube Partner, you earn money from the ads on your videos.
While YouTube doesn’t say how much it pays its content creators, figures online suggest that for every 1,000 views, YouTubers earn from $0.25 to $7.
You’ll get paid through your AdSense account.
About Product Testing USA (My Short Review)
A lot of you guys have been asking about Producttestingusa.com and whether or not it’s a legit site.
I thought I’d give it a try to find out.
I went to the site and proceeded to sign up. I filled out the first page of the form where they asked for my name and email address.
Then on the second page, they started asking for my address and phone number.
I thought that was kind of weird.
Sure, to send you products they need your address, but normally when you sign up for this kind of site, they let you sign up with an email and password, then you can log in and fill out your profile.
Another thing is that normally they won’t ask for your phone number.
I thought “oh well, maybe it’s just part of their system.” so I continued to the 3rd page.
And that’s when I knew this was a mistake.
The 3rd page was full of those “Yes – No” options with a dozen of offers for you to sign up for (freebie sites, coupon sites, etc.).
To me, that’s a sign that this is not a REAL product testing site.
They just sell your info to other companies and maybe send you a free sample or two. But I don’t really know for sure since I stopped there and didn’t continue.
At the same time, one of our readers, Tracy, who had commented a while back about the site, joined the site and came back to share her experience. And her experience is basically aligned with my thoughts. See Tracy’s comment below in the comment section.
So based on that, I personally don’t think ProductTestingUsa.com is a real legit product testing company. Keep in mind that this is from my very limited interaction with their website and that of Tracy’s experience.
If anyone has used the site and is getting actual real products, please let me know and I will reconsider giving it a try, but until then I suggest you stay away from this site.
Product Testing Websites that No Longer Exist!
There were many more companies and websites on the list when we originally published it. However, a few of them no longer exist, either because they have merged with other programs or just have ended it. I am leaving them below for archival reasons.
Mead
Update: No longer available!
If you’re a teacher, Mead is for you.

Snuggle Bear Den
Update: Last time I checked, their product testing page just redirected to another page. I couldn’t find any mention of them ending the program though. So you may want to check (just do a Google search for “Snuggle Bear Den product testing panel”.
If you like Snuggle products you will like The Bear Den panel. Membership is free and gives you access to product testing opportunities, special offers, announcements, and so on.
Final Words
As you can see there are a lot of companies that send you products to test and keep for free. Some even pay you for participating. If you are going to join more than a few of these product testing programs, I’d suggest creating a separate email address so you can easily keep track and not.
I hope you find this list helpful. Please feel free to leave a comment below if you know of any other legit company that does offer product testing items for free.

Mom Ambassador also gives samples to try with a group
Satrap
Thanks for the heads up.
Katia
Mckormick has shut their program down and I cant find Krafts sampling program
Satrap
Katia, thanks for the heads up. I did some digging and found out that they didn’t actually end the program. They updated their site and in the process have changed some of their pages and their URLs. I found the correct page and have updated the link. It should now take you to their signup/login page for their panel.
Vanessa
I have been look for sometime now , to do this kind of stuff to do, I have nothing else to do ,other than time , it would help me out besides give me something to do that’s important , to ppl an this is ,can you tell where to go or what web site thanks Merry Christmas
Satrap
Vanessa, have you tried any of the sites mentioned here?
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
Kathy Grice
Another one from up north was S.A.V.E.
They would send a package of a variety of items that you tested and kept along with a 4 page survey to fill out and mail back.
They closed down many years ago.
Namara
No they haven’t I joined McCormick just 3 months ago it great i’ve recieved free products to test already.
Annette McGahan
McCormick has re opened if u were a member u should have gotten an email.
Kraft has discontinued their program
Whisper
I’m part of McCormick test program. As far as I know it’s not shut down.
Bonnie
I still get a few surveys from McCormick. Never received anything but a few points so far.
Ben
Is producttesting.uk.com a legitimate website
Satrap
Ben, from the little research I have done, I don’t think it’s a legit product testing site. I would stay away from them.
Luverne
What about producttesting.usa.com…..same thing?
Luverne
Also, I see what I assume is an ad for Swagbucks on this site. Is this an ad or is it one of your legit sites?
Satrap
That is an ad, but Swagbucks is a legitimate and very well-known site.
Satrap
I really don’t know about this site. I just signed up with them to test things out. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.
Autum Esterline
product testing usa swnr me a tfal opti grill that is the only thing i have bewn able to testfor them they randomly select 1 tester for each item. its like a 1 out of a million chance u get something i was lucky
Belen
Say you signed up fully(product testing usa) to try dp u think I would have any consequences. This is the first time i try anything like this so i really dont know.
Satrap
Belen, the only “consequence” I can think of would be a lot of time wasted and perhaps not even getting any product at the end of the day. I’d stick with the other legitimate product testing sites.
Ashley Sutton
Hi,I tried ProductTestingUSA.com,
and it’s actually a legit site!
I got a Mamaroo Bouncer from them for free! All I had to was review it!
Satrap
Did you have to buy anything else, pay a fee, or take surveys or anything like that, Ashley?
Jason Holden
I am guessing that Ashley is a fake person. It is really the scammer searching for their website and commenting that it is safe to trick other people.
Ashley Betts
SCAM!!!
BrendaA
Product testing USA is legit I have tested one item for them but it seems like nobody gets chosen more than once but you have to sign up separately for each product and your chances of getting chosen probably are one in a million, and unfortunately each time you sign up for a product you have to do the crappy survey and yes if you select yes on anything you are swamped with a bunch of junk mail. So I always choose no to everything I have talked to them there at PTUSA and they said whether or not you choose yes or no does not help or lesson your chance to be chosen so if you really want to sign up for a product my suggestion if you don’t want a bunch of junk mail that is just answer no yo all of the survey questions.
Hugh Mungus
Just a heads up, nike isnt accepting applications for testing at the moment
Satrap
Thanks for the update, Hugh. I appreciate it.
jessica
L’oreal has product testing and also toluna.
Satrap
Thanks for the head-sup, Jessica.
Gia
Google loreal consumer testing and they will mail you products to test out. Luckily I live close to the Clark NJ location so I’m able to shop their company store. So amazing. Good luck and have fun!
Satrap
Thanks for the recommendation, Gia.
How long have you been doing product testing, and what kind of items have you received so far, if you don’t mind me asking?
Amy
Toluna’s product testing site looks like it is disabled. Hope this helps!
andre
GO to dhgate.com they give stuff free also its the chinese ebay it realy nice
Satrap
Andre, where do you see Dhgate gives away free stuff?… I have known the site for a while, but have never heard of them giving away free stuff.
Lauren
If you sign up for dhgate’s magazine/catalog then every month when they mail it to you there are at least 4 samples inside like eye brightener, velvet skin coat cream, etc. I got one yesterday actually.
Satrap
Thanks for sharing that, Lauren. That’s very kind of you.
Leann
Snuggle has one as well. Similar to Smiley360. I’ll post the link below! Enjoy! http://h3.sml360.com/-/4gnx

Johnson and Johnson!
Satrap
Thanks, Leann.
Bonnie
Crowdtap is awesome too. They don’t give out samples that often, but when you do qualify, you can get some cool stuff. I got some Masterpiece grilling seasoning, probably 10 items at once.
Satrap
Thanks for sharing your experience, Bonnie.
What do you mean by “…probably 10 items at once?”
Tina Dalasinski
I just got OB tampons through them get something I can’t use now since i had surgery to fix some women issues. I have been quite a bit from crowdtap lately I am going to be getting some shampoo and conditioners and hair color here soon.

crowdtap is great i won almost 100 bucks in gift cards total over 2 months, the person above what they mean is when it comes to food stuff, they send a whole box of goodies like hidden valley ranch had one through them and you got a huge bottle of ranch, dipping bowls, packets, coupons. stuff like that.
does anyone know if product-testing.com is legit? i cant find any reviews on them, only the one for the UK
Satrap
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Nikki.
As for product-testing.com, I haven’t heard of them. I did a quick search and I couldn’t find anything that would confirm their legitimacy or otherwise. I’d give them a try as long as its free, and see how it goes.
Tracy S.
I haven’t gotten anything from CrowdTap yet and it’s been a month. What do I need to do?
Satrap
I don’t think there is much you can do, Tracy. Keep in mind that when they do these product testing runs, they are looking for specifics demographic (basically their main consumers), so based on the info you provided, you may not be a good fit for any of their tests so far. That’s why I recommend joining multiple sites so you can increase your odds.
Shellie
I got 1 thing for product testing it’s real they paid me $10.
Satrap
What company was this with, Shellie?
brittiny
producttestingusa.com is not a legit site from what ive heard. you have to answer a bunch of yes or no survey questions and sign up or it signs you up for different stuff. but as I was on one of those sites I read the small print and it talks about getting so many silver, gold, and bronze points(I don’t know what all that entails-but it doesn’t sound legit to me)
Scott
Is product testing usa real
Satrap
Scott, I am not sure about Product Testing USA. To me it doesn’t look like a real product testing site. I get the feeling it is more of a “feel out a survey for us and you may be chosen to test a product” kind of site. So, if you are looking for real product testing, stick with the sites mentioned in this post, or other legit companies. Hope that helps.
Curtis
I’m unsure of their legitimacy as well, I’m giving them a try and will share whether I ever get selected/my experience ‘if’ and when it happens.
Satrap
Do lets us know, Curtis. Good luck.
Tracy S.
I filled out so many testing item surveys it’s not funny. It’s been s few months and I don’t even get any emails for anything related to the site. It’s not worth it. I also did the surveys for offer bucks.com and you have to have all 10 validated before you get your $100, I have only had one validated and it’s been months. I emailed them twice and never got a response. Don’t waste your time like I did.
Satrap
Thank you for coming back and sharing your experience, Tracy.
Teddy Hernandez
I signed up for product testing usa and it say I was gonna be able to test out the product I signed up for and two days later it asked for payment of the product
robby
Yea I agree about product testing usa. It’s kind of wrong to get someone’s hopes up and then to find out your entered in a drawing. And the fact the item you want doesn’t even draw every week maybe like once a month.
Satrap
Agreed, Robby.
Liz
Bzzagent does not pay you. Not sure where you got your information, but it is product testing plain and simple. I myself have done several campaigns for them, so I can speak from experience. Also, you can check their website.
Satrap
Liz, they don’t pay for every product. But with some products, they will send you a survey after a few weeks of you using the product, and if you answer those surveys, you will get paid a small amount.
Carla
BzzAgent has never paid me anything for taking the follow up survey, and I have been reviewing for them for a few years now
Satrap
Carla, have you tried contacting them to see what the issue is?
A lot of times it could be simple mix-ups or an employee making a mistake. I would contact them and find out whats going on before taking any more surveys. You dont want to be wasting your time for nothing.
Taylor
You absolutely do not get paid through bzz agent. You get points through them for a my points account they encourage you to make, and you can redeem those points for gift cards, but you don’t get paid. Pretty much everything is free, though! I’ve received things as awesome as a soda stream! So, it’s worth it, but no, you don’t get paid.
Satrap
Thanks for the update, Taylor and Tonya.
When I used to use the site a few years back, they’d actually send out surveys after the products and you would get paid a few bucks if you took the survey. That was on top of getting the product. So maybe they changed somethings now. I haven’t used the site in a while.
Tonya
I have been doing buzz agent for years. Its products only.
Rebecca Hall
I can 100% guarantee you that BzzAgent does *not* pay you. They never have. I think you might be confusing them with another company. BzzAgent will award MyPoints for surveys and some activities, however.
Satrap
Thanks Rebecca. See my reply to Taylor. I am updating the article.
Tina Dalasinski
I have been with bzzagent for a while and never got paid to test their products
Satrap
Yes, thanks for that, Tina. We have update the article a while ago to reflect that.
Kelly
Nike says returns are a must. It’s no fun if you can’t keep the item lol.
Satrap
Kelly, the reason they do that is so they can assess the shoes to see how it holds out with all the wear and tear. That said, I have heard of some cases where you do get to keep the shoes.
Tracy S.
I applied to Nike but have not heard back. How long does it take? Also for New Balance and Reebok.
Satrap
Tracy, there is no telling when they will get back to you. I’d imagine it all depends on how busy they are and whether or not they have an upcoming test. I would wait a few weeks and then try to contact them. Good luck.
Lauren
The ones I currently am using are Influenster, PinchMe, Smiley360, Crowdtap, and BzzAgent. I am a member of House Party, Mom Ambassador, and VocalPoint.
Satrap
Lauren, which one is your favorite as far as sending in really good items?
Elizabeth
Ilovetoreview.com gives you free and reduced priced items almost every day through amazon.com as long as you agree to review them. If you fail to submit your review within a certain amount of time you wont be able to recieve any more products. I have gotten everything from cookware to beauty products all full size complete products in exchange for my reviews.
Satrap
Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth. I am actually a member of that site, but it’s is only for Amazon products. I am actually working on creating a list of sites that give you free or discounted Amazon products in exchange for reviews.
Lynn
I tried signing up for this one but am not revieving a verification code. Bummer
Satrap
Lynn, verification code for which one/site?
Crystal Thomas
Can’t wait to start watching.
Amanda Ripsam
I have been product testing, reviewing and sampling for years. It is a fun part time hobby I have yet to make any money from any of the product testing I have done.
Satrap
Thanks for sharing your experience, Amanda. I’d think most people think of the free items they receive as their “earning”. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned.
By the way, what companies/websites have you been using to get free products to test, if you don’t mind me asking?
Barbara Purtlebaugh
amanda I don’t really want money but would like to get some gifts back I try. can u give me some sites that are ok to work with? I have never done this I am 77 and would like to try without getting scammed can u email me at (removed by editor).
Satrap
Barbara, I removed your email address. Putting your email in an open website is the fastest and easiest way to get scammed.
@Amanda- please feel free to respond to Barbara’s comment here, or if you would rather email her, let me know and I will give you her email address.
Ashane
What about Offerbucks ? It’s suppose to be a site that offers you money for doing offers. I looked at a site that gave it a 99% legit rating and it’s partnered with Product Testing USA, Just wasn’t sure if I should trust it.
Satrap
That’s not a product testing site, Offerbucks is a reward/survey site. I haven’t used it myself so I don’t know if its legit or not.
Janet
Are any of these restricted for only U.S. residents?
Satrap
I would say, mostly there are restricted to the U.S. consumers. That said it wouldn’t hurt to contact each site or at least check out their FAQ section to see if they accept members from other parts of the world.
Shubhi
Hey i was wondering if there are any companies that need international testers. I am from India and I’ve searched everywhere but there aren’t any companies that have such a program here and all the international ones have localised their program to UK and US. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Satrap
Please see my answer to Sheel, below.
sheel
need help can you tell me is there any companies you know for product testing in india.
Satrap
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any product testing company in India. Sorry, Sheel!

Our family is going on a big hiking trip in a few months. We would love to test out some gear! Any suggestions on testing out hiking/backpacking gear?
Thanks!
HS
Satrap
I don’t know of any specific company that offers hiking/backpacking gear testing. That said, I am going to suggest something unconventional that I actually have heard people do and get good results.
Here is what you do: First go to Amazon and locate the gear you are interested in. Then write a quick message to the seller(s) letting them know you are going on a family hiking trip and that you would love to try out their product(s) in exchange for an honest and detailed review. To increase your chance, mention that you will also be open to doing a video review of the product(s). Reviews are everything for Amazon sellers, and some sellers won’t hesitate to give out a few items in exchange for detailed reviews.
I mean, you have nothing to lose. All you have to do is ask. Good luck
sagar patoliya
I think this is great blog for people who want earn money in freeways people pay for online jobs but they couldnt refund i mean not get money from it
The best part of this blog is every information is described specically
Keep it up blog owner
My review of blog is 9.5/10
Cindi
Are there any electronic tester out there
Satrap
Do you mean any company that let’s you test electronic products?
If so, I don’t know of any that does that specifically. I think the closest you can get to that is to use one of the Amazon product testing sites where product owners (including electronic sellers) give products for free or very cheap in exchange for an honest review.
lillian hopper
Etekcity.com has a consumer testing area. You can apply and choose which tech item you wish to test and review, and if accepted, they’ll send it to you. Each time you do this and follow through with your review requirements, it ups your chance to review a more expensive piece of tech. I just signed up last week and I have a digital kitchen scale headed my way via UPS :)
Kimberly Marino
I went to this site and i can’t find where to apply for the testing. Do they still do it?
Satrap
Kimberly, their product testing panel is located at http://www.etekcitizen.com.
Victor
Are there any legit gaming testing sites? Like where you get a ps4 or other gaming console/s and games to test?
Satrap
Yes there are a few. Check out this post: https://moneypantry.com/paid-to-test-video-games/
Barbara Purtlebaugh
I am old and would like to find some honest companies where I can use their products and send in my review and maybe get to keep some things mainly electronics books ect.I can also turn the products back in with review if need be.I am afraid of getting a bad company,how do u know if they are legitimate companies?
Satrap
Barbara, I just published a post with a list of 40 websites where you can get Amazon products for free (or highly discounted) in exchange for leaving revives on Amazon. Here is the link: https://moneypantry.com/amazon-review-sites/
Hope that helps.
Nicole colletti
I use most of these sights I’ve been a member with bzzagent the longest about 4 years almost and have NEVER EVER Recieved a payment of gift card or payment of any kind..never heard of it either….loreal testing panel is bogus been there 4 years never got a thing did every survey ever…smiley 360 I’ve gotten s tons of stuff crowdtap and bzzagent tons of stuff.. Love it! Also if u like product reviewing go ok Facebook and look for review groups I used to be big in it and used to get literally 20 packages A day from Amazon for months without spending a dime! I have a mini washing machine coming this week for free got my son a scooter for Christmas ..got 100 pair of blue tooth headphones for my daughter I’ve gotten some Amazin stuff but most of that was pitching on my own
Satrap
Thanks for sharing your experience, Nicole.
What are some product you have gotten through CrowdTap, if you don’t mind me asking?
Gale
I’ve been with Bzzagent for over 8 years and they have NEVER offered money payments. They do however offer mypoints for every product test report you file as well as their follow up survey. The best one I got from Bzzagent was a Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush with the UV Sanatizer values at almost 200.
With Loreal testing panel they are not bogus… You have to qualify for their product tests and it can be quite frustrating if you are not chosen. I have been with them for about 3 years and have only qualified for 3 product tests but it was worth it to me. I received a nice gift bag each time as a thank you filled with lots of great products.
Smiley360 is Great. Been with them about 2 years now and have done lots of testing on products for them. One was a sleep number bed study and I got a awesome pillow valued at almost 200.
Shellie
Also samplesource a good one. I don’t think they ship in the winter.
rachel epps
I want to really get involved in this testing products n samples I believe it would be a interesting hobby of n e one can give me websites n direction to get the ball rolling I would greatly appreciate it n my e mail is (removed by editor)
Satrap
Rachel, I removed your email address. I wouldn’t put my email address on an open site where everybody can see. Its the fastest way to get scammed.
As for sites, you can start with some of the sites mentioned here to get the ball rolling.
If you like Amazon products, check out our list of Amazon Review Sites where you can get free Amazon stuff in exchange for your review.
Sheri A odell
send me your email i can help you get started sorry a lot of people are about themselves
Amy
I have been going to freebies.com ,free samples, an a few others. I click on it an it takes you to candles toilet paper, socks, shoes,tide etc.. You have to answers dumb questions to really never get the free items they show you are they really legit. They also show free kitchen things can never get them. There are alot of sites like this. Would love to try shoes an other things. Please help.
Satrap
Amy, for shoes, companies like Nike do have product testing, but they send you shoes all the time. And some require you send it back after a few weeks of testing. I found 6 of them that include Nike and Reebok. Here is the link to my post: https://moneypantry.com/get-free-shoes/
As for other types of products, if you don’t like small samples and things like that, you can try Amazon review sites. I listed 40 of them here: https://moneypantry.com/amazon-review-sites/
Rita
“Asics roadtester program is available to New Zealand residents only. ” When I clicked on the link to sign up for the Asics program for some reason it didn’t take me directly to the sign up page, I had to type into their search bar to find how to sign up, when I did I read the’Terms and Conditions’ which stated that you ” Had to be a resident of New Zealand”, I’m not sure why that is but, it’s their company and they have the right to set the rules… I love the products and wish that I could participate and submit my feedback on new products. Oh well, it is what it is. I just thought that you might like to know this… Thanks for all of your hard work and valuable information. :)
Satrap
Thanks for that Rita. Yeah, it seems like for now they are just limiting their testing opportunity to New Zealand residents.
As mentioned in that post you are referring to, there are also a few other shoe companies, like Nike, that have product testing that US residents can participate in. Have you tried signing up for any of those?
Hammad
Any product testing sites for those who live in India….please I want free stuff…
Satrap
I am afraid there aren’t any companies that send freebies to India, at least none that I know of.
Nicole
I’ve gotten things from Crowdtap and BzzAgent, and I only started about a month and a half – 2 months ago. I have received foundation from BzzAgent, an electric foot file from Crowdtap that retails for $60, and I’ve got more coming!
One thing though is I was supposed to receive hair dye from Crowdtap and all of a sudden the mission is gone and I’ve never received a tracking number.
Do you know of any good sites to review children’s products?
Satrap
Nicole, thanks for sharing your opinion.
The only sites that I know of that give free kids stuff are the ones that giveaway baby stuff like diapers. I have heard of people who contact toy companies directly and were able to get free toys for their kids to “test”. Other than that, I don’t know of any. I’ll update this page if I find any.
Caesar
So do any of these sites offer testing for electronic products, specifically phones?
Satrap
There is none that specializes in electronics. Some of them do send you electronics here and there, but I don’t think there is much of a chance to get a phone. Its mainly small electronics like chargers, headphones, etc.
JohnyBoy
You have McCormmick listed twice plus the Kraft link takes me to their coupons website. I’m guessing they shut down their testing panel.
Satrap
Thanks for the catch, Johny. Fixed it.
And as for Kraft, yeah, it seems like they no longer have the program. I’ll update the post if and when they bring it back.
Morgan
If I register for these sites and get free samples, do I have to show this on my taxes.
Satrap
I don’t think so. I mean normally you have to declare income from the same source if it’s $600 or more. That said, it’s always best to consult with your tax professional.
Trisha
Have you ever heard of American Consumer Panel? They’re looking for a “product tester”. I don’t know of they’re a legit company. I can’t find anything except job offers. Google comes up with “american consumer opinion” which had bad reviews.
Satrap
Trisha, I’d stay away from that site. See my reply to Roseanna above.
Roseanna
Do you know anything about American Consumer Panels??
american-consumer-panels.com
Satrap
Roseanna, it seems to be a scam.
I went through the registration process and after I did all of that it simply brought me to a page where I was asked to sign up for 2 other survey panels (which are legit because I use them myself) and then they said we will contact you if we have product testing opportunities. It seems like they are just trying to get you to sign up for those sites so they can get a commission, which there is nothing wrong with that, but pretending to be a product testing company and misleading people in order to make money off of them is not right.
I’d stay away from them.
Carla G.
Just found this site & have started on some of the sites listed…but when I came to the comments section here there’s no date stamp so I’m just wondering how current this is & all. Thanks!
5-15-2016
Carla G.
Ok I just noticed the date at the top of this page lol…sorry
Rosie
ilovetoreview.com is currently not open for new people
Satrap
Thanks for the update, Rosie.
Lori
Btw product testing is legit I got a polaroid camera and the film with it from them and all you have to do is write a review and they will leave you alone unless you enter another one but it’s legit and awesome.
Barb
Does anyone know if American -Consumer-Panels.com is a safe site to join and do you really get paid to test things?
Satrap
Barb, please seem my reply to Roseanna’s comment.
Jan
Product Testing USA is a JOKE! and a SCAM! I mistakenly signed up with them and all I have received is 20+ calls a day from various companies trying to sell me stuff or give me quotes. Yes, they ask you all these questions on if you’re interested in different things and I said NO to each and every one of them – but that doesn’t mean anything. So, my phone is ringing off the hook and the only way to combat it is to answer and let them know I never requested whatever it is they are offering and to tell them to please remove this number from their list. My mistake – Live and Learn – but please save yourself the aggravation and stay away from Product Testing USA.
Satrap
I agree 100%, Jan. From the little research I have done, I think Product Testing USA is not a real product testing company. It’s just site that takes your info and sells it to advertisers.
Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about your troubles.
Have you tried listing your number on the “Do Not Call” list? You can also file a complaint. For both these, use donotcall.gov
Subash
Hi
I singed up for Product Report Card which asked me all the details like home address and contact number.
Any product review website which ask for home address and mobile verification is legitimate?
Satrap
Not necessarily. Just becouse a site asks for your information, doesn’t make them legit or a scam. That said, Product Report Card is more of a survey and reward site than a product testing company. You can earn a little side money taking surveys and completing offers. It’s a legitimate site, but as always, you have to be realistic. It won’t replace your day job. Just a fun way to earn a few dollars in your free time.
Sandy Wong
Has anyone heard about American Consumer Panels?
Satrap
Sandy, if you’re talking about american-consumer-panels.com, I haven’t heard about them before today. But looking at their site and reading a few things, it doesn’t look legit to me.
If you’re talking about American Consumer Opinion Panel (acop.com), that’s a paid survey site and it’s a totally legitimate market research company.
Jeanni Jones
I recently signed up with Elite Deal Club. Basically you can get free/ deeply discounted products in exchange for an honest unbiased review on Amazon. I don’t think it would be worth it if you don’t have Amazon prime, since you would have to pay shipping. I have gotten 18 products so far. Totally worth it!!!
aggeliki
hi i would like to ask if any of this sites can ship free samples/products internationally
Satrap
To my knowledge, no, they don’t.
SteveW
I participate in the Home Depot Seeds Reviewer program as well where you choose 5 items each month (1 of which can be a premium item) and as they randomly come up, bonus campaigns where you may be able to select a single item or multiple items depending on the individual bonus campaign. Items are shipped free to the reviewer address, and I have not come across an item yet that I had to return within the 6 month vendor recall period.
Satrap
Steve, thanks for the heads up. It seems like its only by invitation for now. Is that correct?
Deborah
Please can u suggest some websites for Indian users.. i found ur blog useful! but mostly the products are for US or other western countries. Please tell me genuine product testing websites for us. I live in India.
Satrap
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any product testing company in India. Sorry, Deborah!
Dan
Do you know if we get to keep the products after or do we have to return them. I know on producttesting.us you can keep the products but I’m not really sure about the other sites.
Satrap
With most sites, you get to keep ’em.
Amy
Thank you for posting such a comprehensive list! I’m new to your site but will definitely be checking out more of your posts.
Satrap
Thanks for the kind words, Amy.
Sarah
Hunt4freebies.com gives you some free samples and stuff like that to sign up for.
Rona Davis
Have anyone found a site that let you test Cell phones if so please advice. Thanks in advance
Mini
Is American Consumer Panels legit? They say that they gaurentee 15-20 hours a week and you get paid! Any info on this
Satrap
How can they guarantee that? To my knowledge, its a survey panel and with survey panels, there is no guaranteed work hours or anything remotely close to that.
Mallory
Marketreaderpro no longer exists and is for sale.
Satrap
Thanks, Mallory. Post updated.
trill
Thanks for this post Satrap!! It’s hard to find reviews like this that immediately feel genuine but this appears to be legit so I will for sure be keeping an eye on your posts.
Harjot
Is there any website that gives free hardware products or laptops and computers for testing cus that’s my field.
Satrap
I don’t know of any. Sorry, Harjot.
Ashley
Not sure if this has already been mentioned but I received a product from this site to review almost immediately. https://hometesterclub.com/us/en
Satrap
Hadn’t heard of that one, Ashley. What kind of products do they send, if you don’t mind me asking?
Shelley L.
ProducttestingUSA is a COMPLETE JOKE. They will NEVER send you ANYTHING to test. I seen the one product was looking for 3 people to test it out It was for nail polish. ONLY ONE other person had signed up to test it, and it was closng in 17 minutes. I figured I would be the second person to sign up. The nail Polish closed and NEITHER of our names were on the \”Testers List\” SO WHERE DID the \”Testers\” come from? Another thing I noticed is when they email you the \”Lucky Testers\” Names. One week it might say: Cindy Brice was this weeks lucky tester. Next week it might say: Cynthia Rice is our lucky winner. The names are ALWAYS VERY Similar. Are they using employees names? Or making up names? I laughed when it said the one winner was:Ockijos Ramerizest. WHAT kind of name is that? Theres another name I see A LOT of and I can ONLY remember the FIRST name. They will do it: Ozzie, Ozzie and Ozzey. The last name is ALWAYS the same though. Another site to \”Look out\” for and DONT EVER USE is called: Point Club. You earn points for taking surveys and at times they send you things to \”test\” and take surveys on the product you JUST tested. This site is nothing but SCAMMERS. I took a survey for 7000 points the one day. I COMPLETED the survey and once I got to the end, the survey gave me a message: Thank you for completing our survey. You will be redirected back to your dashboard in a few moments to be issued your 7000 points. A few seconds later, I am taken back to the dashboard, BUT the cartoon guy who greets you on the dashboard said: You did NOT qualify for that survey, here is 12 points for trying. I contacted their Customer Service. I SAVE page views once I complete surveys JUST IN CASE something like this would happen. I told Customer Service: Here is the screen shot which says you HAVE COMPLETED and will be given 7000 points on your dashboard. They told me NO, it was a survey glitch, I ONLY get 12 points NOT 7000. Also, you need 25000 points to cash out for 25.00. I had 17560 points the one day. The next day I logged in, I had 11250 points. gain, they told me it was a system glitch on their part, I now have the correct amount of points. IF you DO MANAGED to get the 25000 points needed for the 25.00 paypal deposit, it takes 30 days for them to put the 25.00 into your paypal, ND they charge a 3% fee for transfer. TOTAL SCAMMERS.
The BEST site I have used for taking surveys and being paid for the surveys is called: oneopinion.com. Again, you need 25000 credits to cash out into paypal. Its VERY EASY to get them. Ive already cashed out for OVER $500.00 in 2 1/2months. They DONT charge a fee, wen you cash out, your money IMMEDIATELY goes into your paypal account, and at times, they send you products to test and do a survey on. I JUST received an additional 30.00 for a dog treat survey, on top of the 2500 points for the original survey. So, oneopinion.com is a site I would DEFINITELY recommend
Satrap
Thanks for sharing your experience, Shelley.
Anthony
Please give me a review test site that does game consoles like the Xbox One
Phil
Hey guys, just came here to see other offers and testing sites. I’ve signed up for Nike/Reebok etc but never got anything from them. I did however sign up about a year or two ago for New Balance and have tested probably about 5-6 pairs of shoes so far. Legit and a great program, although my girlfriend (and Mother) signed up last year and hasn’t gotten one pair yet. Good luck!
vanessa hickin
The L’Oréal link gets you to a registration page followed with a confirmation email, but the link is an invalid address…
Satrap
Vanessa, the link works for me. It gets me to the registration page. What do you mean by “invalid link”?
Sherry Lang
I received a messenger text from Brlilent asking if I wanted to test products. They asked about aprons and then walking shoes. Without checking them out (not smart) I said yes and sent them amazon and paypal username (email address. Are they legit? At top of page, it says by answering you give them permission to follow as you clicked. Couldnt find anything about them on web, except they sell shoes. Has anyone heard of this company?
Amanda
Hi Sherry, This is raising some red flags for me. A legit company is typically not going to randomly message or text people asking them if they want to test products. I’d be very careful sending out usernames in the future before researching the company. Thank you for reading!
Leona
I agree on the Product Testing USA. I found I was already a member but not happy with the questions. I will see as I just registered for Phillips Lights.
Syd
I just wondered if anyone has ever gotten anything from ipsos i-say? I heard it was a legitimate survey site, so have been doing surveys here and there, but then yesterday out of the blue I got this facial moisturizer with collagen peptide, but it doesn’t list any of the ingredients or what brand or anything. Just says to contact ipsos if there’s a problem and that it’s for panelist use only, and that in two weeks they’ll ask me to review it. I’m not entirely comfortable smearing something on my face when I don’t know what’s in it though, or where it’s coming from. Any thoughts?
Saeed
Syd, I know iPsos is a legit and trusted market research company that has been around for a very long time. It’s actually one of the first survey sites I signed up for over 10 years ago when I first started learning how to make extra money online. But as far as this particular product goes, I am not sure. I haven’t gotten that one so I can’t comment on it. But I have received other stuff like shampoo and used them without any problem.
Usually, the stuff they send are safe and pre-tested. They send them to panelists for feedback so they can determine if it’s ready to be sold in the market or needs improvement. Hope this helps.
Rachel L
Thanks for all the insight into the world of samples, freebies and surveys.
Do you know of specific sites geared towards the Senior Citizen population?
Seniors sampling sounds like a catchy name to me. :)
I’ve spent way too many hours on surveys that waste my time, then tell me I’m not the age group they were looking for.
Well duh, my age is located within my profile….
Pam M
some of these need to be examined before being included- broken links, forbidden sites, non-functioning programs. Also, don’t sign up expecting a quick amazon gift card fix. Trust yourself when evaluating an opportunity, read reviews, look for outside verification of legitimacy. Only join in you actually use those products so you won’t provide false reviews.
